- Berlin, Germany, Oct. 10—An American business man, Roland Velz, was struck twice in the face by storm troopers because he did not salute a Nazi procession, he reported today. The incident occurred in Dusseldorf on Sunday while he was walking with Mrs. elk[sic] in a street. He notified George Cerrersmith, American consul general here, who complained to police authorities and both Reich and Prussian ministers of the interior.
