LONDON (UP) —

Broken communications Friday cloaked what appeared to be perhaps the initial stages of civil war within Adolf  Hitter’ s reich.

Henrich Himmler, the ace hangman, apparently had thrown his gestapo into the task of bloodily purging all those sympathetic with rebellious army officers who

Hitler declared, had tried to kill him.

Berlin announced execution of a group of conspirators declared linked with a plot to remove the German fuehrer and clear the way for a surrender as in 1918 Among

those executed was the colonel who was, alleged to have placed a bomb

only a little over six feet from the closely guarded dictator

Highest former German military quarters apparently were involved in the plot.

The German news agency Transocean, named one of the plotters as Col Gen Ludwjg Beck former chief of the German general staff who left that post in

1938 But it did not say what had happened to him.
