Authorized British quarters in
sisted that the fugitive deputy
leader of the Nan Party and
Chancellor Hitlers former poll
teal heir is completely sane de-
spite all German statements to the
contrary.
tCBS in New York reported
that the German radio kept
pounding on the insanity
theme as an explanation for
Hess flight from Germany.
The London Daily Mail quoted
Hess as saying upon his arrival:

EN- ROUTE To HIDEAwAY
Already, according to high diplo-
matte sources, Hess has been in
terviewed by one important per-
sonage' whose identity is secret.
Various other leaders of Britain
and the governmentS-in-exile are
reported en- route to Hess hide
away TO gain what information
they can.
Location of the hideout where
Hess Is being kept is such a deep
secret that 1t may be unknown
even to some high government au-
thorities. The strictest secrecy IL
being maintained on this point for
fear that the Nazi Luftwaffe,
should it learn where he is held,
might send flocks of bombers over
TO seal his lips.

continent.
Fear of a German attack on the
Ukraine and the Caucasus as well
as hatred of the British is seen
behind Stains latest deal with
Hitler.
1t is thought quite possible in
Washington that knowledge of
this deal may have been one Of
the factors which prompted Rudolf
Hess to desert the Nazis and fee
TO Britain. Hess is known to have
been bitterly anti-communistic.
For its part, Moscow is believed
to have become convinced that the

A huge convoy of military cars

War Spells Divided?
Washington Quarters Believe Deal Has Been Made
by Hitler and Stain Concerning Near East
BY KINGSBURY SMITH

WASHINGTON, May 14.-In-
formed quarters in Washington
today believed that a "share-the-
spoils" deal over the Middle East
already has been concluded be-
tween Germany and Russia.
Under the terms of this deal,
these sources, who are in close
touch with developments in that
part of Europe. believe Soviet
Russia will move into Iran and
Germany will move into Syria,
either through or around Turkey.
If Turkish resistance to the
German plans brings that country
into armed conflict with the NaziS,
it is believed Turkey will be parti-
toned, with Russia taking a slice
of the eastern part as far down
the Black Sea coast as Sanlsun to
protect the Batum oil fields.

10 Title Pace
In Golf Big Task
For Houghton
Victories in Maryland,
Bedford Springs Meets
Again AIS Goal

Al Houghton. Beaver Dams gray
haired warrior of the links, goes to
the post over a weeks span with his
back to the wall in quest of golf
titles.
His game geared to fighting pitch,
Houghton was one of the favorites
today as a good field of pro and
amateur aspirants PLAYED for the
Maryland Open championship over
Baltmore's tight little Elkridge
course. This one happens to be a
favorite with him. He has won the
crown four times. Three of his VIC
tories came in succession. a stunt
for which the Maryland State Golf
Association struck of a special
medal.
Two Titles His Standbys.
Next Monday Houghton will de-
fend his Bedford Springs. Pa, Open
crown.
The two tournaments carry special
significance for the bronzed Beaver
Dam pro. They have been his stand
bys in past years and the gauge by
which he rated his winning season
on the links. Houghton thrice has
won the Bedford Springs tourney
and the Maryland Open has been
his special dish.
So you can see that the next
seven day will make or break the
1941 season for the ruddy-faced
straight hitter from Landover, Md.
If Al doesn't win. either today or
next Monday, he still will have a
title. He is the District of Columbia
open champ. But he has a special
pride in titles. Al hasn't been with
out one now for a stretch of a decade
and half and he likes to allude to
that circumstance.
Shoots to Preserve Record.
Committed to a policy of playing
in more or less local events and
passing up the out ut-of-town affairs,
Houghton realizes that time is slip
ping past him and that he hasn't
many more chances this year to win
a crown. This lack of winning, too,
comes on the heels of his most sue
cessful season. the year of 1910 when
Houghton won two titles and host
of lesser events.
So Houghton in today's Maryland
Open and the coming Bedford
Springs Open has his back to the
wall. He needs title badly to keep
that 15-year-old record intact.

Offshore Fishing Appeal Without Limit
Jack Spot Joy to Fishermen

OCEAN CITY, Md, July 22.-
There's something about offshore
fishing that brings one back to it
season after season-not for one
or two days. but many. Last week.
driving through the night in order
to be in Washington the following
morning, after three days at Oregon
Inlet and Hatteras, We would have
said We had enough for quite awhile,
yet. here We are back for more
Even as We write in the deckhouse
OF the LeV-Lou We are eaSt-north-
east of Winter Quarter Lightvessel
with a 3-hour run ahead. over a sea
so CLASSY the reflections of the
setting sun are binding.
Passing Gull Bank buoy early this
morning, outward bound, hopes
were high. They always are. We
reminisced of other trips, particu-
larly Of one day when out of II
marlin raised to the bats. Bill
Briggs was always the one which
they selected to strike-of other
days when the sea was so dead
there was not the slightest chance
of raising a fish.
Optimism not Justified.
There was nothing on which to
base a belief of good fishing today.
In fact everything was against it.
The heavy blow of the last two
days was bound to scatter the fish
and the schools of bait. Finding
them again sometimes takes several
DAYS. but We believed bringing Mil
ton Gordon along was enough to
offset nature and the natural course
of things and bring us luck.
He failed miserably, for an hours
run south of Winter Quarter,
another east, and a zig-zag course
back and forth across the steamer
lanes and the outer tide-rips failed
to raise a marlin. 1t was a poor bet
as against the tuna off the Jack
Spot, where those boats that
elected to try them had reasonably
good fishing. Tomorrow is another
day. however. and we're going to
try the same course again-for white
marlin.
The Jack Spot, known wherever
marlin fishermen gather. is becom-
ing equally noted for the school
tuna fishing. It is a shoal about
miles by 7. 81 nautical miles
southeast of Ocean City. and it
isn't named after one of the Town.
