Deplores Lack Of

Senator Urges Stand Against Power
Politics; Would Forget Surrender Order


By The Associated Press
WASHINGTON, Jan. 15-Senator
Wheeler (D.-Mont.) set off a crackl-
ing Senate debate today by asserting
that Europe is falling into Russia's
grasp while this country delays tak-
ing a firm stand against power poli-
tics.
^An administration supporter, Sen-
ator Pepper (D.-Fla.), bounced to
his feet, as the Montanan finished
a three-and-a-half hour speech. Cen-
tering his fire on Wheeler's reiterated
plea that the Allies abandon their
"unconditional surrender" demand,
Pepper said:
May Cost More :ives
"In my humble opinion, if he
(Wheeler) persists in urging the
abandonment of the purpose of un,
conditional surrender in this crisis,
it might cost more American lives
than any statement Mr. Morgenthau
may have made about destroying
German industry,"
Pepper said he had no doubt that
the Germans would report Wheeler's
views to their people.
Expressing the opinion that "the
peace was lost right here in the
Senate after the last war," Pepper
called on his colleagues* to agree to
arm President Roosevelt with a state-
ment of "what we will do and when
we will do it" in supporting world
peace moves.
Millikin Challeiges Pepjer
Balding Senator Millikin (R.-Colo.)

challenged Pepper's assertion that
the Senate's actions had brought on
World' War II. He asserted that oth-
er Europeay nations "lacked the guts,
the spirit and the enthusiasm to re-
sist" German aggressors. He said
Pepper could not demonstrate that
if the United States had been a
member of the League of Nations the
result would have been any different.
Wheeler said that every time he
spoke out he expected to be charged'
with aiding the enemy, but added

By The Associated Press
ROME, Jan. 15.-Snow in the nor-
thern Apennines and rain and thaws
in the lower areas again pint a dam-
per on both ground and air action on1
the Italian front today, with only
artillery and patrol clashes reported
from most sectors.
The only substantial action was
the extermination of German out-
posts by Eighth Army troops near
the shores of Comacchio Lagoon at
the extreme right end of the line and
a swoop by a Polish patrol across the
Senio River south of the Bologna-
Rimini highway. The Poles went
within five miles -of Imola before they
were engaged by the enemy.
On the snowbound U.S. Fifth Army'
front, German artillery laid down
heavy fire from big 170-mm. long
range rifles, as well as from 150, 105
and 88-mm. guns. Headquarters re-
ported thiat the Nazis were using
many captured Italian, French,
C-echoslovakian and Russian guns.
Strongly-reinforced German forces
have dug in along the banks of the
Senio and Reno Rivers all the way
from the Adriatic to the Apennines.

LANSING, Jan. 15-The legislature
moved tonight to post a $25,000 re-
ward for capture of the slayers of
Senator .Warren G. Hooper, a key
witness in the Carr Grand Jury in-
vestigation graft in state govern-
,nent.
The development came on the heels
of officially announced reports of at-
tempts to intimidate Grand Jury wit-
nesses, and disclosure , that a new
witness has come forward with a
story of having seen mysterious
movements by men in an automobile
believed to have participated in the
apparent ambush killing of the Al-
bion senator.
Kim Sigler, special Grand Jury
prosecutor, announced at a Jackson
press conference that several Grand
Jury witnesses, not all of whom have
testified already, have received
threatening telephone calls as re-
cently as today in which they were
advised in substance:
"You'd better keep your mouth
shut."
Sigler asserted "There is a deter-

THE NUMBER THREE GERMAN STAGED A ON E-M AN JOB:
British Confirm Hess' Flight Was Unkno

wn to I

Byr LOUIS P. LOCHNER
LONDON-(/P)-Rudolf Hess, con-
trar totheopinion which I found
almost universally acceptedhin Amer-
ica, came to Britain* on a self-style
"Mission of Humanity" on May 10,
1941 without the knowledge or ap-
proval of Adolf Hitler.
A comparison of data available to
Whitehall with the circumstantial
evidence available to American cor-
respondents stationed in Germany at
the time of Hess' flight further estab-
lished that Hitler's long-time secre-
tary and later deputy fuehrer was
inspired and backed by Prof. Karl
Von Haushofer, an expert on geo-
politics, and Willy Messerschipitt,
builder of Germany's best fighter
planes.
Efforts to see Hess, whom I knew
well in Germany, were unavailing on
the grounds that the Hess chapter is
closed and because, authorities say,
he probably couldn't talk coherently
if interviewed.
I was informed that he has consid-
erable latitude of movement-under
guard of course-2to take strolls and
enjoy fresh air. He is treated as a
prisoner of tvar of high rank, has
reasonably good rations and period-
ically is visited by a representative
of the Swiss Legation to whom he
can address complaints.
Rumor has it that he is somewhere
in Wales, but officials would not con-
firm this.
' The Ministry of Information first
met my request to clarify whether
or not Hess came as -H.itler's agent
with, "What difference does it make?
His plan was so impossible that it is
immaterial who sent him. We knew
Hitler was preparing war on Russia
and hence discounted Hess' asser-
tion that the Fuehrer had no designs
on Russia nor aimed at world domi-
nation."
Countering, I pointed out that in
America every reporter, radio com-
mentator or lecturer who was in

Germany at the time of Hess' flight
is asked "what about Hess? Was he
sent by Hitler?"
I also pointed out that even when
we presented our circumstantial evi-'
dence of Hitler's lack of knowledge of
his deputy's plan, most persons
listened politely but were not con-
vinced. The MOI official now grew
definitely interested.
"What was that evidence?"
Since German censorship at the
time prevented my reporting that
evidence, I incorporate it here to
round out the complete picture of the
case. The belief that Hitler had noth-
ing to do with Hess' flight rested on
these considerations:
First, Hitler placed a high valueI
on the lives of his most intimate fol-
lowers and would not have permitted
Hess to go on a solo flight. He would
have sent a co-pilot along.
Second, if Hitler had not been
caught offguard, he would not have
issued the silly story that Hess had
been subject to frequent mental aber-
rations. Only a few days earlier, on
May 1, 1941. Hitler had deputed Hess
to present the highest civilian medals
at Augsburg to airplane-builder Mes-
serschmitt and people's car designer
Ferdinant Porsche.E
Also, neither Hitler nor Joseph
Goebbels would have laid themselves
open to the much-heard, sub rosa
comment:
- "If the second man in the Reich
has been crazy all this time and we
didn't know it, what about our top
man?"
Third, Hitler's treatment of the
Hess case from the party standpoint
indicated that his deputy had acted
without his knowledge and approval.
Hitler ordered Hess' name "Ausgel-
oescht"-wiped out-'--rom the party
records and forbade all mention of
him thereafter in the press or radio.
Such treatment was accorded only
one other top Nazi, Ernst Roehm, aft-

er the notorious purge of June 30,
1934.
Other high Nazis at times failed
in missions, were disavowed by Hit-
ler and sometimes were demoted but
their party membership remained un-
questioned and they continued to be
regarded as loyal Nazis. Not so Hess
and Roehm.
At that point, the Ministry of In-
formation officer now changed tack.
Your deductions are absolutely
right," he told me, "From all Hess
said and revealed our government is
firmly convinced that the deputy
fuehrer came without Hitler's know-
ledge and approval. Any other con-
jecture is excluded."
To make doubly sure, he called
the Whitehall Foreign Office which
1 confirmed this point. What seemed
not quite clear to the British gov-
ernnent was the question whether
Hess thought out his scheme by him-
self or whether others in Germany
were behind it.
On this point, it should be noted
that Hess never showed great mental
capacity in Germany but was regard-
ed merely as Hitler's most faithful
personal aide who stolidly carried out
orders but never gave evidence of
originating constructive ideas.
On the other hand it was known
that Hess had an affection for and
faith in Von Haushofer amounting
almost to the worshipful. Von Haus-

hofer was an able military and poli-
tico-economic scientist who knew how
Germany's score stood and in talks
with friends opined that Germany
could not afford to take on a two-
front major conflict.
Through Hess, who was a member
of Hitler's Secret War Council, he
must have known the attack on
Russia 'was only five weeks off, for
even we foreign correspondents knew
it. Hess' six-point proposal as dis-
closed by Eden seemed to us station-
ed in Germany to bear the earmarks
of Von Saushofer ideology and at-
tempts to save Germany from cer-
tain disaster.
Another man in the know regard-I
ing at least Germany's air position
was Messerschmitt, a. crony of both
Van Haushofer and Hess.
Messerschmitt at the time was re-
ported reliably as warning that Ger-
many had not sufficient air poten-
tiality to fight east, west and south.
He therefore was amenable to Hess'
or Van Haushofer's suggestion that
lie furnish the deputy fuehrer with
a crack plane.
As the head of his plant he was
able to notify all antiaircraft posts
and air patrols that a test pilot-
meaning Hess-in a new Messersch-
mitt-110 was about to fly over the
Reich's boundaries. This would ex-
plain why Hess could leave Germany
without interference.
