Spiritual kidnapping
Protested by Rabbi
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
LONDON, June 25.-Rabbi J. H
Hertz. chief rabbi in Britain. said
today in q letter to the Times that
"a high percentage" Of Jewish chill
dren saved from the Nazis in lib
Grated lands have been baptized in
the Christian faith by their res
cuers.
He asked the United Nations to
bring an end to spiritual kidnap-
ing" and said:
All honor to the Christians who
at great peril to themselves, have
rescued thousands Of Jewish chill
dren from bestial humiliation. But
the test of whether 1t was humanity
that prompted the rescue or whether
it was mere sectarian snatching OF
souls from a rival faith Is the will
ingneSs to return those children to
their parents, their nearest kith
and kin or their religious commun-
ity."
Rabbi Hertz suggested that what
is needed is a proclamation by the
various governments that children
do not become the property of their
rescuers and cannot be deprived OF
their Jewish heritage simply be-
cause their parents have been foully
murdered"
He added that ut Is the clear
duty of the United Nations to in
stitute guardianship or adoption by
Jews for these unfortunate orphans
that shall put an end to and undo
the misdeeds Of spiritual kidnap-
ing"

Won Boetticher, Taken
By 7th Army, Served
AS Nazi Attache Here

1t. Gen. Friedrich Won Boetticher,
reported by the Associated Press to
have been captured with four other
German generals by the American
7th Army, was recalled in Washing
ton today as the Military Attache
of the German Embassy here in the
immediate preWar days.
Genial and popular with the mill
tary and diplomatic set, the general
apparently made himself quite use
full to Hitler and the German Army
for on his return to his homeland
in June, 1912, the Fuehrer decorated
him with the Understanding medal
given for noncombat service.
Won Boetticher first appeared in
Washington shortly after the World
War and presented himself as a

The supreme Allied headquarters
statement added that at that time,
more than week before Hitler's
purported hero's death was an
nounced by the Hamburg radio,

expected to live more than two DAYS
longer"
German Gen. Schillenberger, who
was present at the meeting sad Hit
ler was suffering from a brain
hemorrhage, the statement said.
Admiral Doenitz's statement
therefore that Hitler met hero's
death at his post is in contradiction
with the facts given by Himmler and
Gen. Schillenberger," the Allied
headquarters statement said.
Accepts German Report.
A British Foreign Office commen-
tator accepted as fact the enemy
report that Hitler is dead, but also
cast doubt on the German accounts
that his was hero's death.
The Foreign Office took the view
that it was extremely unlikely" Hit
ler's death would have been an
nounced by the Germans if it had
not actually occurred, the commen-
tator said.
He suggested that Hitler might
have died several days ago.
He added that it was we'll known
that Hitler had been seriously ill
and that his appearances in public
had been growing more infrequent.
In response to questions, he dis
counted the posSibility-as charged
by Moscow-that the report of the
death was trick designed to facili-
tate escape in order that the Fuehrer
might 60 underground and emerge
later as leader of a new German
military movement.

The commentator added that |

reports the Germans were evacuat- /

British newspapers, meanwhile,
suggested that any German sur
render and We day had receded as
a result of DoenitZs emergence as
the new Nazi strong man.
SchWerink kroSi9k, known as
conservative, joined the Nazi party
late and is not considered an ardent
Nazi. Admiral Doenitz's firing of
Won Ribbentrop in favor of this
Junker-allied aristocrat would seem
certainly not to endear him to the
Nazi lunatic fringe
If Admiral Doenitz had any ideas
of trying to negotiate with the
allies, Schwerin-Krosigk-who has
been described as "a colorless official
with correct manners might be
less Afensive than Won Ribbentrop
But - far there was no evidence
that the admiral was prepared to

government in their hands.

Some of the Red Arrowmen marched across the Owen Stanleys. It took little over 40 minutes to fly across the moun- tains: to march across requiring 49 agonizing days.

 From Aitape, part of the division moved ot Morotai, and then the whole outfit headed for the Philip pines, and landed on Leyte Novem- Der IA.
