Says Goering Flees Berlin By Airplane Alleged Flight Is Reported By Moscow London, Apr. 27 —(UP) —Radio Moscow today said that Reichsmarshal Hermann Goering had i escaped from Berlin by plane | with a $20,000,000 nest egg.” The broadcast, heard here by Exchange Telegraph, said Goering departed in an unknown direction "after collecting his nest egg." Moscow did not say when the alleged flight took place, or from where. Templehof airdrome, last field in the Berlin area held by the Nazis, was overrun by the Red army yesterday. Radio Hamburg said yesterday that Goering had been relieved as commander of the German air force because of -heart trouble. Marshal Ritter Von Grein was appointed to succeed him, Hamburg said. Moscow earlier had suggested that the disposal of Goering was engineered to “camouflage his flight into one of the neutral countries or bis disappearance into the ‘Hitler underground movement'.” There was growing suspicion here that other Nazis—possibly including Hitler himself — were using the battle of Berlin to cloak their disappearance into hiding. . The usually reliable diplomatic correspondent of Exchange Telegraph reported no definite evidence had reached London that Hitler still was in Berlin. 'The insistence of Nazi radio reports that the fuehrer still was fighting ini the capital's death struggle was regarded as suspicious in itself. Swist dispatches quoted Red Cross officials returning from Germany as saying that Hitler, gestapo chief Heinrich Himmler,and the German general staff were in Salzburg. That was only one of many such rumors floating around Europe, putting Hitler and other Nazi officials in numerous places. o Two Escaped German Prisoners Cauqht llndiana-polis, Apifil 27 —(UP) — Indiana state police sought another mtaaing German prisoner of war today after the capture last night of t-wo other Pow’s who had been at large for three days.

CHAPTER TWENTY-NINE The things she’d told him she had to do began with looking for Perry Dawson. Gresham Institute was twenty miles the other side of the hollow. Daphne was so tired, fearful of falling asleep at the wheel, she didn’t dare speed on the open road. It took her nearly an hour and a half to get to the laboratory where an attendant told her that Mr. Dawson would not be there. It was, he reminded her, a holiday —the Fourth of July. “Well, happy .holiday!” she said giddily, getting back into her car, wondering why the man gave her such a funny look. Daphne did feel “sort o’ foggy.” But then few people can stay up all night and be fresh in the morning. Daphne drove into the village to Barker’s drug store. Its, genial proprietor said she looked as if she hadn’t had any sleep for a week; and told her that the Dawsons lived on Parker street, six miles out of the village. It was after 10 a. m. when Daphne found the little frame house with the dressmaker’s sign. But Perry Dawson was not there. “Perry’s spending the holiday With the Turners,” his mother told Daphne. “He and Elizabeth are engaged, and there’s a party up at her house.” Daphne headed the car for the Turner estate. The Turner butler responded to her ring, and she said, “Grainger, is Mr. Dawson here? I must see him at once.” “They’ve all gone to the lake, Mrs. Abruzzi.” Daphne collapsed on a hall bench. “I can’t go to the lake,” she muttered. “They’ll be back for lunch at one.” “Grainger,”—she looked at him appealingly —“l’ve been up all night." “You look very pale. Can I get you something?” “Yes, I want to lie down. I ought not to”—some danger warned her, but she couldn't grasp it, she was ■o sleepy—“but I must. Just have io sleep now. Will you see that I’m awakened—as soon as Mr. Dawson comes back?” Grainger promised and called one of the maids who took her upstairs, gave her a pair of Buff’s pajamas, pulled the shades, and promised to let her know as soon as the party returned. “Not the party, just Mr. Dawyon!” Daphne said, and was asleep instantly. ... Hours later, she woke from a fevered dream, feeling her hot hand ir. a cool one, and saw that Perry was grinning at her from her bedside. Or was it a Cheshire cat bobbing at her? “Hi, Daphne! Heard you wanted to see me alone, and I thought it was ol’ Steve .. “Stop bobbing up and down.” His grin disappeared instantly and he put his hand to her cheeks alarm leapt to his eyes. “Perry, I had to see you.” She ■poke fast, breathlessly, m if she ■*' —■ I l» .... i

Pelain Returns To Paris In Disgrace Negotiate Release Os French Prisoners Paris. April 27 (UP) — The newspaper Liberation said today that the International Red Cross has negotiated the release of Edouard Daladier, Leon Blum and all other French political prisoners held by the Germans. The report came as Marshal Henri Philippe Petain, the “hero of Verdun," returned to Paris in disgrace and was imprisoned to await trial for his life as a collaborationist and traitor to France. Daladier. thrice premier of France and minister of war in the dark days of May. 1940 and Blum, also a former premier, were arrested by the Petain government for their opposition to the Vichy regime. iDeladiei’ was a defendant in Vichy’s infamous Riom “war guilt” trials.

Bob Newcomb used to be the best fly caster in the county. , Never missed a Saturday at Se- < ward’s Creek. But come the war, ; and Bob’s son going off in uniform, he just lost interest in things like fishing. i But the other day Bob got a letter from the South Pacific . . . kind of a homesick letter: “I’m thinking of you, Dad- fishing in Seward's Creek; cooking trout over an open fire; and keeping the beer cool in the ’ stream.

had been running. “There’s something you’ve got to do. Steve hasn’t • anyone but you and me. That’s why . I did it. If it works for me, you’ll . do it?” “Do what?” he asked, feeling her pulse racing under his finger-tips. Daphne pulled up her sleeve. There was a tiny pin point of purple in a widening circle of red on • her arm. “No one answered his call for volunteers ... so I did. Don’t worry. It’ll be fine. I knew how to do it.” At that moment, Buff came to the bedroom door, and Perry shouted at her. “Keep out of here! Call Dr. Mclntosh and get him over , here as fast as you can!” “I want Steve,” Daphne moaned, “It has to be Steve.” “Sure, sure! Tell me what time you gave yourself the shot, and then keep quiet.” “Five o’clock,” she said, closing her eyes again. “Perry, I feel awful, but I know it’s going to be all i right.” “You bet. We’ll get Steve over. Everything’s going to be okay.” Under his breath he added fer- , vently, “I hope.” Daphne’s eyes were open and sometimes they seemed to be fixed on his face, but she didn’t know him. The masked figures—and he was one of them—making a circle about her hospital bed, were ho part of the world of her delirium. Dr. Fenwick (her Steve) —his ( bloodless face like granite—stood at the foot of the bed. Beside him, ; Dr. Lindquist, and back of him, Drs. Porter, Rabinowitz, and Schuyler. They had their eyes fixed on Dr. Mclntosh, who stood by the side of the bed, with his fingers on her ’ wrist. At the other side of the bed, a , nurse held a thermometer in the sick girl’s mouth. , There was no sound in the room, save for the labored, tortured breathing of the fever-ridden body ' under the sheet. The nurse removed the ther- ' mometer and handed it to Dr. Mc- ! Intosh. The eyes of the five watch- ’ ing physicians shifted to his face : as he read it. He turned slowly, his 1 eyes now upon Dr. Fenwick’s face. 1 Steve said, “Yes, Doctor?” “Her life is in your hands, Fen- ’■ wick. If your serum can save her, 1 it’s the only thing that will.” ’ The atmosphere of the room was ’ tense as Steve scrubbed, slipped his hands into the gloves held for him, and went towards the bed, hypo- ’ dermic needle in hand. 1 He stood there, looking down at her for a moment, a prayer in his 1 heart I The nurse rolled back the sleeve of the hospital shirt, disclosing a • thin arm, burning to her touch, washed it with a dab of cotton and stepped back. Dr. Fenwick prompti ly made the vital injection. 1 “That’s it gentlemen,” he said. “We’ll not know the results for twenty-four hours, unless” ... his voice subsided into silence. His fellow doctors moved out - silently. “Coming, Fenwick?” Schuyler i tasked. 1

“No.” Steve didn’t know how much late» it was that the nurse asked if she should send relief while she went out to get her supper. He shook hit head. “I’ll stay here,” he said. Alone with the sick girl, he sat by her bed, watching her as if his eyes could not move from her face, feeling in his own body the tortuw that racked her. It was the other torture—the not knowing if he had done what wai right—that was hardest to bear. Hl had let her suffer for three days, knowing he would not have hesitated an hour had this been any other than Daphne. In his heart inarticulate things stirred. The radiance of the moon riding high drew his eyes to the window and he got up and went to it, looking up into the night sky, knowing that there was a power beyond science, that whatever he might no. he was only an instrument of God in this supreme effort. Steve stood there for a long time, unconscious of the wind rustling the trees and cooling the isolation ward, of the chiming of the Town Hall clock, of the beat of insect wings against the screen.
