Former No. 2 Nazi

As Envoy Of Peace
LONDON. — (AP) —
Upon his arrival in Scot
: 1
jand in May, 1941, Rudoif
Hess told the Duke of Ham
iton that “the Fuehrer
'
does Mot want to defeat
England and wants to stop
fighting,” Foreign Secretary
apthony Eden disclosed in
the House of Commons to
day.
Eden furnished Commons an au
thoritative account of the sensa
|;“m§ flicht of Adolf Hitler's one~
vime deputy, who was regarded as
the No. 2 Nazi until his mysterious
arrival in Britain.
pden related: |
nefore he reached Scotland in
1041, Hess told the Duke of Ham
ilton, he tried to arrange a meet
ing in Lishon and three times
«},g,n,juu\l_\' had attempted to fly
t, Dungavel, Scotland, mear the‘
Duke's home. Hess said he met
ihe Duke at the 1936 Olympic
games in Berlin.
The last time he attempted a
flight was in December, 1940, but
he was turned back by the weath
er and other factors.
He did not want to come at the
time of British successes in Libya,
he told the Duke after he was in
carcerated at Merryhill Barracks,
lest it appear a sign of weakness
on the part of Germany. He wait
od until Germany was again gain
he successes — that is, in the
Balkans.
Hess insisted that he came to
Britain without Hitler's l}rluwl-|
edge.
He told Hamilton, who inter- |
viewed him on May 11, 1941, at
Merrvhill Barracks, that he had
come to Britain on a ‘‘mission ofl
humanity.”
Hamilton, who was a wing com- '
mander in the RAF and did not
recall having met Hess before, |
flew to London, and reported the
conversation.
Hamilton told the authorities he
believed the prisoner was Hess.

Hour For Storming Hitler's

- Natis Establishing Strong Defense Lines

School Children
Can Help Win
War For Freedom
School children can help win
the war for freedom against
the Axis nations — Germany
and Japan.
If school children will remind
their mothers every day or. so
to save tin ecans and fats, which
can be used for making war
materials, they will be doing a
big job for their country.
When eating a meal, little
boys or girls can ask their
mothers: “Did you save the tin
can these vegetables, or this
soup. came in? You know tin
cans are necessary to help pro
vide a sufficient supply of tin
to equip our fighting men with
necessary war materials!”
Housewives, by saving tin
cans and turning them over to
the grocer, will be doing a daliy
job of service to the nation.

“at an early date” but that this
will be followed by a Roosevelt-
Stalin-Churchill parley, and of
this latter project he said:
“No meeting during this war
could carry with it so much sig
nificance for the future of the
world as a meeting between, the
heads of the three governments,
for without close, cordial and last
ing association between Soviet
Russia and their great allies we
might find ourselves at the end
of the war only to have entered
upon a period of deepening con
fusion.” '
Mr. Churchill thus approached a
great issue which is causing in
creasing anxiety — that is, the
need of ironing out important dif
ferences in viewpoint between the
Anglo-American partnership and
our Soviet ally. These problems
are largely political and unless
they are solved they will bode no
good to a post-war world which
will be entering a new epoch in
the progress of mankind.’

The new diréector of the prison

not interested, Arnpall added, in
a professfonal- prison worker, but
more in “top ramk- exécutive abili

man who will plan a coherent
prison system and put that system
into effect at once.”

Gainful Employment
For Each Veferan
e ’
Advocated By Hines
OMAHA — (AP) — Efforts to
insure the gainful employment of
*every veteran of this war after
‘the fighting is® over should be one
of the main considerations in post
war planning, Brig. General Frank
T. Hines, administfator of Vet
erans Affairs, told delegates to the
twenty-fifth annual American Leg
ion Convention today.
“The nearer we are to having
all of our citizens employed, the
nearer we will approach the ideal
of a strong democratic nation,” he
said . |
“Experience has clearly indicat
ed that men who have served their
country prefer to stand on their
own feet and earn their own liv
ing. Those now serving have the
right to expect their old jobs will
be returned to them, and they are
also entitled to preference in gov
ernment employment.”
Hines disclosed that the Vet
erans Administration is now pay
ing out about two million dollars
a month in benefits due to the
present war. X
The enactment of the law ex
tending to veterans of the present
war the same hospital privileges
granted veterans of the last war
eventually will bring about ‘the
greatest program of peacetime
hospitalization in the history of
the world,” Hines asserted.
Dr. Edith B. Joynes, Washing
ton, D. C., president of the Na
tional Education Association, told
the Legion in a prepared address
that education must be permitted
to play “its wvital role in securing
permanent peace,” and advocated
a permanent international office of
education to stimulate constructive
education for world citizenship
and as a guard against misuse of
education. :
Dean Drewry Returns
From Meeting With
Broadcasters Group
Dean John K. Drewry of the
Henry W. Grady School of Jour
nalism, University of Georgia, has
returned from New York City
where he attended a meeting of
the public relations committee of
the National Association of Broad
casters at the Waldorf-Astoria
Hotel.
Dean Drewry, along with Ed
ward Weeks editor of the Atlantic
Monthly and chairman of the ad
visory board of the George Foster
Peabody Radio Awards, was asked
by the NAB officials to speak to
this group ' about the 1943 plans
for the radio awards. Mr. Weeks
who has just returned from a six
weeks' trip to England, spoke on
conditions there with special refer
ence 10 bromdeasting. = .
Simultaneously ,a Tokyo broad
cast envisioning new blows
against the Japanese ‘homeland
said Premier Hideki Tojo’'s gov
ernment was preparing to remove
“government departments, indus
trial establishments and the civil
jan population from Tokyo as well
as other important cities.
The broadecast said the measures
were necessitated “in view of the
decisive phase upon Which the\
war will enter during the coming
months” and “in the interest of,
improving their defense.”
Gen. MacArthur, taking official
cognizance of reports that his
command might be subordinated
by the new Southeast Asia Com
mand of Lord Louis Mountbatten,
declared: '
“] have no personal military am
bitions whatsoever and am per
fectly content in such role as may
be prescribed .for me."”
In Washington, Gen. MacArthur’s
statement was scanned with in
terest, but there was no immed
jate comment from the White
House or War Department.
«Igland hopping, with extrava~-
gant losses and slow progress -
some press reports indicating vic
tory postponed as long as 1949 —
is not my idea of how to end the
war as soon and cheaply as possi
ble,” Gen. MacArthur said.
’ Urges Powerhouse Blows
. Instead, he said he favored the
execution of powerhouse - “blows®
“against only main strate;i§ ob
jectives, utilizing surprise §§d as
sisted by the Fleet.” o
While the Allied Southwest Pa
cific Commander thus defended
hig concept of strategy, air-borne
Australian troops struck deep in
to the heart of Japanese-held
Northeast New Guinea, capturing
the town of Kaiapat 60 miles
north of newly-taken Lae.
Ditpatches said the Australians,
landing in American transport’
planes Saturday night, had driven
the Japanese out of the immed

At the .same time, American
bombers wrecked Japanese air
dromes, blew four important
bridges to bits, and blasted trucks
and roads along a 280-mile path

You'll agree that buying Bonds

To spend Sunday fighting for

Draffed For Approval
WASHINGTON —(#)—A second
tentative draft for a United Na

is being sent to Allied governments
for approval.
Diplomatic ecircles predict that
‘Herbert L. Lehman, head of United

Since the original United States
‘draft was . turned down by other
governments, . two important
changes have been made.
One revision is based on sug

powers in the United Nations,
spearheaded by the Netherlands
It makes clear that the central
committee composed of Britain,
the U. 8. 8. R, China . and the
United States would be completely
responsible to the council of all
United Nations delegates.
The Netherlands rejected the
first draft because the committee
would be “too powerful” and the
plan did ‘“not seem compatible with
democratic principles.”
The Central’ Committee is to
function as an interim group when
the council is not holding one of
its planned semi-annual meetings.
The ‘first council meeting may be
