SAARHRUCKEN. Jan. 16. 'UP' Communist and socialist leaders in the Saar prepared to go into hiding today and Jews were closing out their business interests in fear of

nazi reprisals.

France awaited the beginning of a- mass exodus at .anU-uazis. including thousands who already were refugees from Germany, as Saarlanders continued to celebrate their prospective reunion with the fatherland. American consular authorities in the Strasbourg area expected appu- j ration of anti-nazis from the Saari for passport visas to the United

States.

Although organized nazis were] held in rigid discipline by their lead-1 ers in carrying out Adolf Hitler's] p'edge that those who voted in Sunday's plebiscite would not be perse cuted, there were incidents of individual terrorism and all anti-nazis in the

Sar were nervous.

throughout last night.

The affidavit for a change of venue iiled Wednesday by Clifford R Dickerson. attorney for Riddle, in part

was worded as follows:

"That an odium attaches to this defendant in said county on account of former convictions in this court on different charges tried before different juries composed of citizen^ of aaid county and sentences served on ttie Indiana state farm by said defendant as a result of said convictions. that opinions are formed in the minds of the citizens of said county to tlie cftect that defendant is in all probability guilty of the above mentioned charges, that their minds are prejudiced against him as to his innocence of the crimes charged, that there exists considerable excitement among citizens ot parts of the county with reference to these | charges against said defendant: i "That this defendant has certain enemies in this county of wealth and influence who are now seeking ami exerting every effort among the citizens of the county to create sentiment as to his guilt: that certain persons have procured or have at- | tempted to procure a list of names
