BILICLIN. Aug 8 -(Ur-IIHVI-S) ——Chsncellor Hitler toty received Albert Forster, Danzlg Nazi Lead- er, in his Borchteogaden Villa, as the German Press unleashed its bitterest series of attacks to data against Poland

Uificials. confirming that For- ster was holding a. series of talks with the Fuehrer, said than was no particular significance in hlq sudden visit and asserted it was “completely normal." Forster des- cribed by Reich newspaper: as “the responsible chief of Danni; policy." flew from the Free L\v to Munich yesterday.

The. Berliner. Boerscn-zcitunr charged “The Poles l‘d'B preparing an attack against the German city of Danzlg."

gave the signal for the attack on Poland by sending to all news- papers an analysis of an editorial in the Warsaw newspaper Cass which warned Pc1and‘s artillery “would begin to thunder" if her rights in Danzig were violated.

Nazi editors printed the analy- sis under fiery headlines. The immediate objective. Germans ex- plained, was to let the world know that if the Reich should decide to act in Danzig, it; would be only because Poland was the “ag- gressor."

Gel-many stepped up her milit-

ary program, designed to bring the nation to a prcparcdness peak by mid-August. There were declarations thatno- war was in the offing and that Chancellor Hitler would find a peaceful solution to "pending questions," but there were also these important steps:

1. Army and Hitler Youth Leaders agreed on a plan where- by future Hitler Youth leaders will receive pre-military training‘ under experienced army officers

2 Filling stations were caution- ed to limit the sale of gasoline.
