Erstwhile German Communist Hero Ernst Torgler, target of Moscow eulogies while he was a defendant in the Reichstag Fire Trial (TIME, Sept. 25, 1933 et seq.). was announced last week by New York's Communist Daily Worker to be living expensively near Berlin with erstwhile Communist Heroine Marie Reese. About to publish a book in which it is rumored they will describe how they have been converted from Communism to Naziism, Torgler & Reese, according to the Daily Worker, have been expelled from the Communist Party.
