SOMETHING HAPPENED

GESTAPO SPY ON GESTAPO.

PARIS.

Bo great is the discontent of high circles in the Naxi party with itler's Russian polley, slates a Havas Agency message from the German frontier, that Himmler, chief of the Gestapo, Nazi Sverri Police, has instructed Heydrich, his deputy, to form a super-Gestapo to watch over the Gestapo Itself.

Heydrich is said to be leader of the recently-formed "people's. In- formation Service," a spy organi- sation to seck out the "Inner enemies of the Reich"

The new super-Gestapo is stated lo consist of 120 officials. Ther names are kept secret. They arc given full powers, and are respon1- sible only to filmmier and lley- dricks personally,

It is stated that the party tribunals have had their

work more than doubled since the con. clusion of the Nazi-Soviet puct. From every direction come charges against Nazis who have not drop- ped their anti-Bolshevik opinions quickly enough.
