CAPITAL WRITER
F[EES NAz CAMP
Kurt luedecke Believed
Headed for j. S. After
Escape in Germany.
BY JUNIUS b. WOOD.


By Radio to The Star
BERLIN, Germany, May 5.-Kurt
G. w. Luedecke, former Washington
newspaper correspondent, whose
whereabouts in Germany was a six
month mystery until he was located
as a prisoner in a Nazi concentration
camp, has escaped.
At present he is believed to be
either on the high seas bound for the
United States or already there. His
wife lives at 1913 Mclean avenue,
Highland Park, Detroit, Mich. He
was born in Berlin in 1890 and is a
German citizen, but is believed to
have papers permitting his re-entry
into the United States.
Luedecke was taken into custody
here last June and first was confined
in the Brandenburg camp but more
recently in the Oranienburg camp,
near Berlin. Oranienburg's barbed-
wire fences are strongly guarded, and
escapes are rare.
Escape Method Unknown.
No explanation is given as to
whether he escaped in spite of the
powerful party leaders who had ar
rested him or whether he was assisted
by other influential leaders, who be-
lieve resumption Of his activities in
the United States may be helpful to
the cause.
1t is known that he crossed the
Czechoslovak frontier at the end Of
February and eventually reached Ge-
neva and then disappeared again.
When an article appeared in a Paris
new spaper several weeks ago stating
that Karl Luedecke is the editor of a
Nazi magazine in Brookhne, Mass,
this correspondent asked permission
to see the prisoner Kurt and clear up
the mystery of the two Nazi propa-
gandists accredited to the United
States, whose names differ only by
two letters
Eventually the secret police con-
frmed the information obtained from
other sources that Kurt was no longer
with them and that a visit could
not be arranged.
Rated as Semi Official.
Kurt Luedecke. who carries a White
House correspondents card as repre-
sentative of German newspapers. is
rated as a semi-official Nazi repre-
sentative in the United States. He
arrived in Germany in March, 1888,
and was Immediately appointed as
sistant TO Alfred Rosenberg, Naz
party minister for foreign affairs.
which is separate from the govern
ment ministry for foreign affairs.
The understanding was that Lue-
decke was being groomed to return to
Washington as the Nazi party control
over the German embassy and there
guide Nal activities in the United
States.
Luedecke quickly clashed with other
NaZi leaders here. especially with one
of similar American training. Party
differences" is the only explanation
of the transfer of his activities from
the cabinet ministry to coDcentra-
ton camp.
Though a prisoner. life was made
easy for him there. He was even per-
mitted to leave camp. When a sur
prised friend met him on a Berlin
street a few weeks before his final
departure, he explained he had several
days leave of absence from Oranien-
burg to attend to private business in
the capital, but that he was return
ing.

lea foot ball squad
The group OF players selected
by a Nation wide vote will be

two weeks of training will play
the Chicago Bears, national pro-
fessional champions. at Sol
der Field on August 81.
Only players who have completed
their collegiate careers will be eligible
for the all-star team, since contact

nate the standing OF any who still
are undergraduates. The coach OF
the All-S,ars also will be selected
by popular vote. but ! know Of several

The game is advertised as a test
of college foot ball against the profess

college players. with only two weeks
OF training, hardly could win from
a good college team. so the chances

Big Jake Baer knows the fight

Jake Baer is proud of the
achievements Of his son. He would
be happy if Max retired as the un-
