broadcasts day to Germany on the Hess affair.
 The London Daily Mail, in the edition this morning, said in pre- liminary conversations, Hess indi- cated his personal disgust with the Nazi Party" and told of mounting tension among Hitler's party chief taniS.
 Broadcast Comment
 Instead of being insane, as the Nazis said, Rudolf Hess suddenly became sane when he flew to Brit ain, a British Broadcasting Com pany commentator declared.
 In an extended commentary on Hess getaway, picked up in New York by CBS, the British commen- tator called "the man in the street" said this, in part:
 The news that Hess, officially the third man in Nazi Germany, landed in Scotland is sensational enough. It never was possible to believe the official story that, although unfit for flying and forbidden to do so by the good, kind Fuehrer, he had got hold of a plane when no one was looking and then met with a fatal accident.
 1 Fine Pilot" For one thing, Hess was a fine pilot and there had been no sug- gestion until today that he was suf- fering from a long standing disease except the disease known as Nag ism.
 There was no trace of grief or regret in the announcement of his disappearance. And that reference to his mental confusion, his hallu- cinations revealed in the letter he left-mental confusion and halluci- nations are always attributed by the Nazis to those who disagree with them.
 No, it looks to me as if Hess, sc far from becoming a victim of hal fluctuations and mental confusion may have suddenly begun to think straight and to get rid of the hal fluctuations that made him see Hit Ter as the Fuehrer destined to con- quer the world. z.
 Escaped Death
 Tt looks as if Hess suddenly be. came sane, perhaps and saw tht truth. And it meant one thing-tt Hess-death unless he could escape
 Well, one German who suddenl. sees the truth has escaped. On' day, millions of Germans will SCI the truth. It won't be possible fol them to escape, except in one way.
 50 let us look to the day wher the German nation comes to shar Hess 'hallucinations.'
 Someone else then will have t' flee for his life-if he can."
