British Comb Reich
For S Witness Of
Killers Suicide
By the Associotsd Press

HEREFORD, Germany, Mar. o.
British intelligence officers, working
on new clue, have started to comb
Germany for an SIS bodyguard who
may have witnessed the suicide of
Adolph Hitler and Eva Braun.
The information was developed in
q new interrogation of Hitler's air
force adjutant, Col. Nicolaus Won
Below, who escaped from the
Reichschancellery bunker April g.
shortly before the fall of Berlin.
Escaped From Bunker May l.
Won Below said he met the body
guard May 6 and the soldier told
him: Hitler and Eva committed
suicite on the afternoon of April
3d. Hitler shot himself and Eva
Braun took poison. Afterward the
bodyguards burned the two bodies"
(The bodyguard's version con-
forms with report on the case
announced by British headouar-
tiers in Berlin last November ~
The soldier himself escaped from
the bunker May l, Won Below said.
Intelligence officers have obtained
his name and other Identification.
The German colonel also cleared
up some contradictory information
and emphasized that Hitler had
stated in the bunker April %,
wish to end his life.
Rescue mp,nose;hIo Ta.ks
Won Below said he believed 1t
would have been impossible for Hit
Ter to have escaped from Berlin or
to contain himself sufficiently to live
incognito. He declared further that
he considered the Fuehrer without
the physical or moral strength to 90
on living.
Any last-minute rescue attempt
would have been an impossible task
and against Hitlers wishes" he said
Won Below discounted a rumor
that Hitler was to be drugged and
removed at the last moment. He
said, however, he had been told by
a Gen. Burgdoff of an SIS plot to
kill Hitler and take the body to the
Allies.
At the time he left the bunker,
Won Below said, Hitler had finally
given up all hope of military relief
for Berlin.

Writ Sought 10 Free
Nurse Held on Charqe
OF kidnapping Child

A petition for a writ of habeas
corpus was filed in District Court
today by Attorney James j. Laugh
lin who charged that Rosemary
johnson, alias Loretta Frances Bro
EEK, 19-year-old nursemaid, was
being held without authority in
connection with the abduction of
Terry Taylor, 4, from Charlotte
N. c. SM8
The petition, which was signed
by Justice James w. Morris, directed
police officials here and in North
Carolina to show cause by Monday
why writ should not be issued.
Mr.. Laughlin, who entered the
case late yesterday, further alleges
that the nurse is being held at the
Women's Bureau without any charge
against her. United States Attorney
Edward NJ Curran told reporters,
however, that the girl was in the
custody of North Carolina police in
transit to that State. District au-
thorities, he said, hold no fugitive
warrant for her.
The suspect, originally from
Nebraska, was brought to the Dis
trict Court Building during a con-
ference of Mr. Curran, Mr.. Laughlin
and police officials, but later was
returned to the Women's Bureau
With her father and mother, DR..
and Mrs. Andrew Taylor of Char
lotte, Terry left by plane from Ma
tional Airport this morning.
FBI Checks Other Cases.
In Charlotte, police will seek to
unravel the somewhat incoherent
story of the 19-year-old nurse
background. In Washington, mean
while, Federal Bureau of Investiga-
ton agents were checking the pos
sibility that Miss johnson, who also
gave the name of Sarah White, was
responsible for similar abduction
cases in other localities.
In the Taylors' employ only
week, the nurse took Terry away
four days ago. The two were iden-
titled Thursday night in Annapolis,
where Miss johnson had found a
job Wednesday with a naval officers
family after describing herself as a
destitute widow and Terry as her
daughter.
Informed of their child's where
abouts at pm, DR.. and Mrs. Taylor
ended three days of tormented con-
Germ for her safety by flying to
washington and then going to
Annapolis by car to find Terry at
the home of Police Commissioner
Thomas G. Basil

abundance on the battlefields of
France, where so many of our men
had fallen in battle, and that a
replica of this poppy has become
the Memorial Flower of the Ameri-

Auxiliary?
That the American Legion was
the first national organization to
adopt the poppy as its Memorial
Flower?
That profits from the poppy sales
are pledged 100 per cent to welfare
relief for service men. and women
and their families, thus fulfilling
the true meaning of the poppy--an
emblem of faith, faith which is be-
ing kept with all who died, through
service to the Living?
That the memorial peoples are
all made by hand, by disabled vet
Grams in hospitals and work rooms
in 40 states, and that the workers
receive pay for each poppy made,
the material being furnished free
by the Department in which the
hospital is located?
That Poppies are sold by volun-
