Some Sources Assert He Flew 10 Scotland 10 Dis- euss Peace Problems CHURCHILL TO MAKE
 STATEMENT SHORTLY
American Sources in Lon- don Give Warning 10
 Britons 10 Beware
,By ASSOCIATED PREss)

Authoritative quarters in London in attempting to solve the riddle of Rudolf Hess's flight from Germany declined to confirm the rumors that the Nazi Deputy Fuehrer, in de- fiance of HitIer's orders, flew to Great Britain as self-appointed Apostle of Peace, but the censors did pass the report along.
 The new twist further complicated the wars strangest story but these facts have emerged:
 One.--The British radio spokes- man first hinted broadly that Hess is divulging vital German military secrets by declaring he is writing and talking words that will make the German High Command sweat
 Two.-The Berlin radio conse- quently declares Hess is suffering Messiah complex" and flew to the Scottish estate of the Duke of Hamilton, an old friend, in the hope of bringing about the end of the war.
 Three.--Informed British quarters then accepted this version only to have 1t cast in doubt by high offi- cials.
 Prime Minister Churchill was ex- pected to make a statement of the case today. but later it was reported he decided to postpone it, apparently wanting more information from Hess before laying the affair before the British Parliament.
 A highly placed American source ;n London declares that the ar rival of Hess constitutes a threat on the defense of the British Isles and that he might be hamburger of new smashing attacks of the Ger mans It Is asserted the British are casting too rosy glow on the in- cident which might lull the people and soften them to new Nazi blows.

WASHINGTON-One of the most vigorous inner Cabinet debates in a long time took place the other day over the question of freezing Ger man-Italian funds on deposit in the United States. Tn heated discus sion, Secretary of State Hull and Secretary of Commerce Jesse Jones were the only Cabinet members who stood out for letting the two Axis powers continue to spend money as they wished in this country.
 Many people may not realize 1t, but whereas the Government has frozen the funds of all the con- quered nations = France, Norway, Denmark, Belgium, Holland, 0reece, etc.-it continues to permit the con- cuering nations to use their money in the U. s. A. in any mann1r they wish.
 For instance, Germany gets more than million dollars monthly from the lease of patents to American companies. This is paid in American dollars and can be spent for anti American propaganda or anything else. or shipped back to Germany. Italian diplomatic attaches, for in- stance, were found carrying $2,OOO,- GOO in U. S. currency in a suitcase from New Orleans to Mexico for propaganda purposes. Another $z'- 900 1000 of U. s. currency was ship ped to Buenos Aires by the Italian Embassy.
 Meanwhile, France, for example no longer sells perfume, etc. to the United States, but sells to Germany, which in turn ships the perfume through vladivostok to the United States. Reason is that French funds are frozen, so the French can get no money from the U. s. A. But Ger man funds are not frozen, so French trade to the United States now in creases Nazi profits and helps build up trade channels for the future.

l think the story of her high-school initia-
ton helps to answer that. Shirley told me the
incident when asked her what had been the

not only regards herself as just one of the
girls but that the Others accept her as that.
She's pretty much an average 13-year-old
kid = and she's interested in the things that
interest every other girl her age. School and
fun mean lot more to her than fame But
