I Nazi Lords Battle Against Defeatism Leaders Start On ' • Ruthless Campaign I London. Feb. 7. fl F) Ibe I Nazi rulers of Germany served I- grim warning today that civil servants as well as soldiers who lab [•ter in the path of the Red army would be executed ,or imprisoned. The Nazi overlords obviously were embarking on a ruthless campaign to stamp out the slightest signs of defeatism as the war reaches its climax. German home broadcasts for tile first time told of the execution ol a member of the civilian administration of a German city for neglect of duty and being "devoid of honor.” Details of the charge were not given. Tile civilian official executed was the police president of Bydgoszcz (Broiqberg). which was captured by theNiussiaus last month. Three other officials of Bydgoszcz, including the provincial president and the mayor, weir ousted from office, and put in a "cOnectional battalion.” German hoiXe broadcasts said, The three men will be given “pur-. ticularly arduous and hatmrdous' tasks.” the broadcasts said. \ The deputy burgomaster of Brgslau was executed a week ago. b'lNj news of the incident was broad-, cast only over the German armed ; forces radio network. Lt. Gen. Kurt Dittmar. principal I spokesman of the German high 1 high command, likened Germany's I present position to that of a man ! walking a tightrope. "An abyss threatens us 011 either side." he said. "Only extreme I calm and assurance . . . can prevent 1 a deadly fall.” Dittmar denounced the Allied de-: maud for Germany's unconditional surrender as an invitation to “vol-1 untary suicide." “We are not faced with any I choice." he said, "but only with 1 two possibilities, both of which' lead to the same evil goal. Evident-, ly the way of capitulation is more ' comfortable for the enemy, since every additonal day our resistance , forces the enemy to endless sacrifices.” Walter Olbrichf. former member ; of German reichstag. broadcast | from Moscow another appeal to | 1 the German people to revolt. Speak-1 ing 0.11 behalf of the free Germany j national committee, he asserted ' that the Hitler government already had fled from Berlin to Munich. “This is the moment for the anti-., Hitler movement to take Germany's s ; i fate in their hands.” he said. n

Meantime. iWFA reported that . ' the civilian meat picture con- -! tinues bleak. Receipts of hogs at , major markets last week were 50 percent below the corresponding week of last year while governI meut purchases were higher. Ar- ! rivals of beef cattle on tb.e mar-, I ket were 15 percent above a year ■ ago but government requirements j more than offset the increase. Lamb marketings are now high,er than last year s rate. \\ FA i said, but there are fewer lambs Jon farms and any increase in : supplies now will be offset by ! sharper reductions in the spring.
