Confession Extorted By Russians

Bonn, Sept. 25.

^ former Social Democrat Party Secretary in Berlin de clared here today that a false "confezion" of being an Anglo- American spy had been extorted from him by the Russlons with torture and brutality.

Herr Wilhem Lohrens, who as the Secretary of the Social De- mocral Party in Berlin after the end of the war refused to join the merger with the East Zone Communists to form the Socialist Unity Party, said he had signed the "confession" to save his own life.

Lohrens, his voice trembling with emotion, told a press can- ference organised by the West German Social Democrat: how he was arrested and imprisoned In the Fast Zone in 1910.
