Germans had no authentic informa-
ton. But there was no disposition
to doubt the authenticity of the
reports.

event was a great windfall for
British propaganda and it was ex-

Authoritative German quarters
emphasized repeatedly that Hess
spectacular adventure was not a
surface indication of something
wrong deeper down in the party.
"Intimations abroad that there is
to be some shake-up or purge are
idiotic,' said spokesman. There
was no persecution complex involved
in Hess conduct and the Gestapo
isn't on the scent of anything"
"In fact, as already confirmed
through report from London" the
communique said, 'he bailed out of
a plane in Scotland near a place
which he wanted to visit and ap-
parently was found there injured.
Rudolf Hess, as for years was
known in the party, suffered serious
ly physically and recently resorted
increasingly to various aids, mes
merizers, astrologers and so forth.
'In how far these persons also
carry the blame for the mental
arrangement which induced him
to take this step Is also point of
investigation.
"It, however, also is imaginable
that in the last analysis Hess in
tentionally was lured into a trap
by the British.
THE entire manner of his pro-
cedure confirms in any case the
previously stated fact that he suf-
fered from hallucinations. He knew
of numerous peace proposals of the
Fuehrer which came from deep in
his heart better than any one else.

KANSAS CITY, May 13.-Lord
Halifax, the British Ambassador,
told an audience last night that
perhaps Herr Hess acted as he did
because he saw the writing on the
wall"
The Ambassador brought chuckles
from his listeners several times as
he deviated from his prepared ad-
dress to comment on the impromptu
parachute landing Of Rudolf Hess
in Scotland.
Herr Hess has landed in Scotland
by parachute from German Mes
serschmitt and tonight is safe in a
Glasgow Hospital" he said.
Here is an important man. by
Hitler's own choice the No. man
after Goering to succeed him as
fuehrer.
None of us know why.
Perhaps it was because Of mad
ness before he left Germany. If so
he is not the only one so in Ger
many.
Perhaps Herr Hess acted as he
did because he saw the handwriting
on the wall"
If the democracies ARE to defeat
Hitler and those who serve him with
an almost religious fervor, our faith
must burn with flame as white as
theirs" Lord Halifax said in his
address to public meeting.
"Thus and thus only" he said.
may this dark menace to our peo-
pies lives and human freedom
perish in the unquenchable fire of
our resolve"
Lord Halifax expressed confidence
in England's ability to win, IF you
are willing to give us all the help
you can, first in the field of produc-
ton in the United States, and Sec
ond, as you judge best, in assisting
to strengthen that life line by which
supplies pass from the factories and

GLASGOW, May 13.-The polite
parachutist who surrendered cheer
fully to a Scottish farmer armed
with pitchfork has turned out to
be Rudolf Hess, No. 3 Nazi and
now Britains No. l prisoner.
He landed unarmed, gossiped for
an hour with the farmer, declined
tea with his captor's family, then
went along with officials for treat
ment of an ankle break sustained
in landing.
A Glasgow physician who ex-
amined the valuable prisoner
deputy leader of the National
Socialist Party and member of
Hitler's secret war council-said
Hess had with him a stimulant
which he said he was in the habit
of carrying when making flights
in case he had a heart attack or
had to make parachute landing" Z"
The physician described his pre-
liminary examination as superficial,
adding that no ailments were dis
closed.
Seemed "Man Of Culture"
David Mclean. the Scottish
farmer, said his "pitchfork prisoner"
seemed a man of culture" but I'VE
thought he was just another Ger
man airman."
He said he heard a plane roaring
overhead, ran from his farmhouse
and saw the plane burst into flames
200 yards away.
II was amazed and bit fright
ened." Mclean said, when I saw
the parachute coming slowly down.

his mind, would end only with COM
plete destruction of the British
Empire.
Hess, whose field of duty lay ex-
clusively within the party, has not
had any clear conception about the
execution or even about the con-
sequences of his action as far as
is discernible from his notes.
THE National Socialist party re-
grets that his ideansm fell victim to
such fateful delusion. This will not
interfere with the continuation of
the war against England forced
upon the German people.
"It will be carried on until-as
the Fuehrer declared in his last
speech-the British rulers are over
thrown or ready for peace"
A letter which party statement
said was left by Hess was not pub
lished Immediately, nor was it dis
closed to whom it was addressed.
1t was said, however, that the
letter indicated Hess was suffering
hallucinations-and contained proof
he was not in fear of the Gestapo.
Six Adjutants Held.
Six adjutants supposed to have
had knowledge that Hess had taken
up flying contrary to instructions
from Hitler, were held.
There is bound to be presump-
ton that these adjutants knew he
was using a plane the spokesman
went on.
IF they knew that, they were
duty-bound to report the fact in
view of the Hitler order forbidding
Hess to fly"
Hess disappeared after taking of
by plane about 6 pm. Saturday from
Augsburg, Bavaria.

I'VE sent word to the authorities
and in the meantime he chatted
freely to us and showed us pictures

very proudly"
Mclean said Hess told him his
flight from Germany had taken
about four hours. He was flying
fast Messerschmitt plane in which,
the Germans said, he took off about
pm. from Augsburg, Bavaria, ap-
proximately 300 miles away.
"I could see from the way he
spoke that he was a man of cul-
ture," Mclean said. His English,
although it had a foreign accent,
was very clear, and he understood
every word we said to him.
He was a very striking looking
man, wearing a magnificent flying
suit. His watch and identity brace
let were of gold.
He wouldn't discuss his journey.
He was most gentlemanly in his at
titue to my mother and sister and
thanked us for what we had done
for him. He was most anxious
about the parachute, which he said
he'd like to keep because it saved
his life. He wouldn't tell us who
he was, and We thought he was
just another German airman.
When the officials came he greet
ed them with smile and assured
them he was unarmed and stood up
and allowed them to search him.
Then he was taken away"

How Would You Like 10 Have Spanish Colktai!
 or Carrot Juice?
By VERN HAUGLAND AP Feature Service

LOS ANGELES, Oct. 13-Did you ever drink spinach, celery or let tuce?
 Quite few people are these days, and the temperance folk are de- lighted. So are dentists and doc tors. They say the eating and drinking practices introduced by Southern California food faddists are good for the teeth and the liver, and health in general. Within the past year, dozens of juice bars have appeared through out Los Angeles and in adjoining cities In the vegetable line they offer the juices of cucumbers, wa tercress, beets, parsley and cab bage, among others.
 Carrot juice is our most popu lar straight drink" says one pro prietor Fresh pineapple is sec ond and coconut third" Coconut juice is not the milk but the ex- tract of the nut itself. Favorite mixed drinks is a pick me -up''-- equal parts of coconut, pineapple and papaya juice.
 One thirsting soul, another pro- prietor relates, downed a glass of pomegranate juice, made a horri- ble face, and fled. A week later he was back, complaining it had taken two days of a straight gin diet to .straighten up his system Then he asked for more pome- granite juice.
 Multiplying along with the juice bars are the health food stores and vegitarian restaurants = most iof them cafeterias. Selling point is their variety of fresh salaas. The humble carrot-and- -raisin combin- ation is best seller. Salad dress ings are made with lemon juice and herb seasonings, without vinegar.
 The health cafes also specialize in such dishes as pine-nut steaks, soy cheese outlets, breaded egg plant, breaded baked bananas, veg etable souffles, cheese cakes and cheese pies.
 Of the health cafes, one of the more picturesque was established "A years ago by pr. John T. Rich ter, now IT, and his wife, Vera, 57.
 They advocate the eating of Tive toods,H and serve the only un- cooked vegetables, fruits and nuts mo milk, butter, eggs or other animal products.
