The world gears up for what are expected to be massive
communist demonstrations tomorrow.
Police and authorities in major cities throughout Europe and the United
States are taking different approaches to the preparations. Berlin, Paris, Riga and Prague have all
banned demonstrations. Berlin will have
7,000 police on patrol to enforce their ban.
Czechoslovakia has suppressed two communist newspapers in addition to
banning demonstrations. Stockholm has
banned street demonstrations, but will allow open air meetings. New York and Philadelphia will allow
meetings, but have let it be known they expect them to be orderly. Chicago initially refuses to permit a
gathering, when the chief of detectives announces he's learned that 12 "executioners" (presumably communist) are
arriving from New York with orders to kill him.
But the police commissioner overrules him and permits a parade.
