as son of Hermann Goering who

away near CiesZyn (Teschen) 10

Onicers were told that he was be-
lieved to be the son of Goering.

A puzzled officer commented: st
didn't know Goering had such a
son, but am certainly willing to
try to find him"
The Ministry of the Interior, in
calling for the manhunt, suggested
that the fugitive would try to flee
back across CzechoSlovakia.
The police alarm for this man was
the latest of a series, of rumors
which have had security officers at
work, searching first for youngster
described as a son of Hitler and
then for son of Martin Bormann,
Hitler's missing aide.
Security authorities denied a ru-
NOR that they had arrested a boy
Of II named FREDERICK Schultz as
son of Hitler. They said they had
no special interest in the boy and
that he was the son of Berlin
furrier. The boy has been living
with a Bohemian farmer since
March, 1910.
No Basis for Report.
The existence of a son of Hitler
was not even suspected until mill
tary authorities found the picture
Of boy of II or IL among Hitler's
personal documents recently.
No official basis for this report
was found during an investigation
at Nuremberg earlier this week. A
kindred rumor that Martin Bor-
mann had been arrested likewise
was without support.
Czechoslovak police later heard a
rumor that the pictured youth was
