Fire Marshal Seeks Cause
|0f Blaze in Troika Club

After investigation of the Troika
Club fire early yesterday, Fire Mar
shall Raymond Roberts said it could
have started in one of three ways.
A cigarette, he said, could have
been dropped down spiral stairway,
leading from the second floor service
bar to the first-hoor kitchen, where
there is great deal of woodwork.
A second possible way, Fire Mar
shall Roberts said, was from a Gig
arctic dropped in dressing room
for bus boys, under the stairs.
A third possibility, he said, was
that a cigarette or hot ashes might
have been dropped into a bundle of
soiled linen in laundry chute near
the foot of the stairs.
Slight damage was done to the
kitchen of the Greenbriar Restau-
rant next door, he said. when flames
apparently were drawn into the
room by a grease duct fan.

and declared he would have Hess
shot Immediately If he returned to
Germany"
In the British interrogations Hess
said he had tried in vain to arrange
a meeting in Lisbon with the Duke
of Hamilton before deciding to fly
to Britain for face-to-face negotia-
tions with the duke. The reports
| showed Hess made three earlier at
temps to fly to Scotland but was
turned back each time by bad
weather. The first attempt was
made in December, 1910.
He finally was permitted to talk
with Hamilton on May IL, the day
after he was picked up in Scottish
field with broken leg The dukes
report on the meeting said: He
asked me if I could get together
leading members of my party to talk
over things with view to making
peace proposals.
He requested me to ask the King
to give him a parole as he had
come unarmed and of his own free
will
Outline Of Peace Terms.
To Ivone A. Kirkpatrick. British
Foreign Office representative who
was sent to identify him. Hess out
lined the following peace terms:
Il. Germany should be given a
free hand in Europe.
.. England should have a free
hand in the British Empire except
that former German colonies should
be returned to Germany
49, Russia should be included in
Asia, but Germany had certain de-
mands to make of Russia which
would have to be satisfied, either by
negotiation or as result of war.
There was, however, 90 truth in ru-
mors that the Fuehrer contemplated
an early attack on Russia. tThe
Nazis attacked Russia on June %
| 194l)
a. The British should evacuate
Iraq.
/ Property Indemnification.
IS The peace agreement woulc
have to contain a provision for re.
| ciprocal indemnif1cation of British
and German nationals whose prop.
/ erty had been appropriated as re.
suit Of the war. ...--ys-}-
"6. The proposal could only bt
considered on the understanding
that it was negotiated by Germany
with an English government other
than the present British govern
ment. Mr.. Churchill, who had
planned war since 1896, and his COL
leagues. who had lent themselves
to his war policy, were not persons
with whom the, Fuehrer would nego-
tiate." ~
With the reports, the British also
made public a statement to Parlia-
ment September %, 1943. by An
thony Eden. then Foreign Secretary
in which he stated:
1T was, throughout made clear to
Hess that there was no question
whatever of any talks or negotia-
tions of any kind taking place with
Hitler or his government. Hess has
been dealt with as a prisoner of war
since his arrival in this country
and will so continue to be treated
until the end of the war"
