REIGN OF NAZI TERROR

SPECIAL TO THE "TELEGRAPH"
BERLIN, Nov. 9, (UP)— The fearsome Nazi Gestapo to-day began a great round- up of persons suspected of being connected with the jattempt on Hitler's life.
"It may be assumed that many suspects and criminals have been detained for questioning," aut thorised quarters stated.
The officially revised reports state seven persons are known to be dead, while an eighth is either dead or seriously in- jured in the explosion in the Buergerbrau cellar.
BRITAIN BLAMED
The Nazi press to-day asserts that Britain is at least psychologically responsible for_the_explosion..
In screaming headlines relating to a "Wicked Attempt" the papers referred to "Britain's general attack.on the German people."
They say British declarations against Hitlerism must be crushed, and hint at retaliation against the British.
