With. n. third-ranking Nazi a. voluntary war prisoner in Britain, Britain's hope that a major rift is brewing within the German leadership is natural. It may not well founded. There has been| 11° 011191‘ 51811 of friction in Hit- ler's inner circle or between the Nazi military wing headed by Goering and the political or party wing which Hess captained. Nevertheless, Berlin's explan- ations of the l-less flight are con- flicting and subject to question. The mere fact that Berlin thought ii: essential to be first with the news that. he was missing and to cast doubt. on his sanity indicates that Nazi high authority knew i where he had fled and why. i It is within the bounds of possibility that Hess had been un- der disguised restraint for undis- closed reasons.

The Berlin version that he fled to attempt a. perscnall conducted one-marl peace camps gn in Bri- tain is even more fantastic than the rumor that he W93 a Hitler peace missionary catapulted into Scotland.
