Weimar, Germany, May p - (U. P0 - Princess Mafalda, daughter of the King of Italy, lay buried in barren grave in Potter's field here today Perhaps buried with her was the answer to the mysterious death of King Boris of Bulgaria.
 Dr. Fausto Pecorari, an Italian prisoner at Buchenwald concentra- ton camp, said he had helped a Czech priest bury Mafalda. The priest told Pecorari the Princess had confided in him that Boris, her bro- ther-in-law, was poisoned on orders from Hitler.
 The Bulgarian monarch's death was announced by Axis radios on August 8, 1943, but never fully ex- plained. At first it was implied he had died from natural causes, but later Axis reports said variously he had ben killed by one of his body guards, or had died in an air acci- dent.
 Mafalda was believed to have learned of the plot through her hus- band, Hessian Prince Philippe, high Nazi. She was imprisoned in the notorious Buchenwald camp after she had an audience in Rome with the Pope, to whom she may have confided her suspicious about Boris death.
 During her stay at Buchewald, Mafalda was allowed to talk only to prostitute, who was assigned to her as companion. Pecorari said the prostitute had told him the same story as the priest. Mafalda also was said to have told friends

| at her brother -in-law's funeral services in Sofia that he had been murdered on Hitler's orders.
 Dr. Edwin K. Ellenbrogen, a Po- fish psychiatrist who was on the Harvard University staff from 1907 to 1913, said that after her arrest in Rome, Mafalda was flown to Ber- lin in special plane. There she was kept under constant guard. After the fall of Italy, described by Hitler as Italian treason" the prostitute was assigned to the Prin- cess as a mark of disgrace. At Buchenwald, Mafalda was not al- lowed to talk to anyone else. Her identity was supposed to be kept secret, and she was known as Mrs. Abba" but the news of her real name went along the prison grape vine.
 On August A, 1914, during an American raid on factories near the camp, Mafalda, was injured. While German SS doctors argued whether to amputate her arm, gangerene set in. They operated, but she died within five days.
 Pecorari said he and the Czech priest stole her body and buried 1t in pauper's grave before the Germans could cremate it. He said he had written her name on the palm cross over the grave.
 Today, in drizzling rain, he wis., ited the cemetery. From the thou sands of grave there, all looking alike, Pecorarta unhesitantingly picked the one which had a plain cross on which was scrawled Ma ialda."
