"The obsession grew with him

A spokesman said;
I'VE see conclusive evidence
of Hess mental confusion in the
fact that instead of flying to the
Near East or a neutral country
like Sweden. he landed at a far
off point like Glasgow and
risked being shot down by Brit

Bearing photographs of himself

urday night guided a Nazi war

Then he jumped and glided to

HINT BLOOD PURGE
While British authorities as
serted Hess made his unauthorized
flight from Germany in what was
termed a move 10 escape a possible
blood purge" the NaZi deputy
leader was taken TO a military hos
pital at Glasgow and held under a
heavy guard.
To British officialdom, II seemed
patent that Hess deliberately flew
to Scotland TO surrender himself
and obtain refuge from rivals in
the Nazi hierarchy. This APP
peared demonstrated by the proofs
of identity he brought with him
photographs of himself and docu'
ments-on his flight of some SOC
miles from Augsburg. southwest
Germany, to the Glasgow region Of
Scotland.

KNEW DESTINATION

II now is obvious that the Ger
mans knew Hess was in Britain
long before they announced mys-
teriously yesterday that he was
.n7issing3 after leaving Augsburg
on an unauthorized flight in def
snce of Hitler's orders while men
tally deranged."
The details Of this "derange-
ment" could not come until the
British announced that Hess was
in their hands. Whereupon. Ber-
lin promptly made known that
his desire 10 go 10 England was
fun proof Of his madness.
Hess may yet prove TO be a
madman. He may prove TO be an
adventurer who had sought too
much power in the Reich and fled
a threatened purge" He may
even turn out 10 be one Of the
most amazing stooges IN all MS
tory-sent to Scotland purpoSely
TO delude and miSlead the British
in a series of Moscow-like con
fessions"
The latter is hardly likely but
should not be overlooked.
SHOCK TO REICH
At the moment, however, II
does appear that Hitler and the
whole German nation were taken
Overwhelmingly by surprise when
Hess opened the throttle OF a
Nesserschmitt and streaked over
the North Sea to drop with a
broken ankle in a Sotch farmers
vegetable patch.
Now from German officialdom
comes an unending stream OF
speculation and almost incredible
revelations-how the man slated
some day to take over Hitlers
own mantle as fuehrer has given
himself over TO astrologers, mag
netists" and even magicians.
II is impossible to conceive OF
sny British statesman or any
French statesman staging any
such fantastic feat as Hess car
RED out. regardless of the stakes.
In any other country, a man as
mad as Hess is being pictured by
Berlin to be would have been
under lock and key years ago.
But Hess, as a keystone Of the
regime could not be removed by
any such routine measure. Even

a ceremonial figure, the Germans
admit.
And now that he has gone, OF
his own free will, by demonaic
guidance or as victim Of Brit

mentators say. the dependence oil
Nazi solidarity upon a few key
figures is completely obvious.
