Το Reported Attempt
Assassinate German Gen. In Soviet Zone
Berlin, Oct. 24.The Russians were silent today. about a reported attempt to assassinate, German General Walther von Seydlitz while he was inspect-- ing Communist police forces in the Soviet occupation zone. This report was distributed by the American licensed news agency, Dena, and attributed to Com- munist sources.
It said four shots were fired at General Seydlitz's car when he arrived at the "people's police" training camp at Szchornewitz in Branden- burg. Gen. Seydlitz was said to have escaped injury but his companion, a General Lattmann, sustained a slight arm wound,
The pistol shots were said to have been fired by an anti-Communist Social Democrat who was subse- quently arrested.
The 10-year old Seydlitz, captured" nt Stalingrad with Field Marshal Brulus, was founder of Moscow's "Free Germany Committee."
Together with Gen. Lattmann and two other high officers of this group, he was reported to have been re- patriated to Germany fortnight
ngo to supervise the organisation of the huge armed police forces which the Communists have established in
Eastern Germany.
