GERMAN EFFORTS
BANNING THE HESS INCIDENT
FROM THOUGHT
LONDON, May 17,
The German Government is doing everything possible to stop the people of Germany thinking about the Hess affair. Thursday's German broadcast declared that the flight of Hess had been completely unravelled, and that statement was intended effectively to put an end to the story. Friday's German broadcast for home listeners made no mention of the Deputy Fuhrer, and neutral correspondents in Berlin are now being told that the incident will soon be swamped by bigger news.
Hess's plane is not to be exhibited in London. Circumstances make its showing impracticable.
A German broadcast disclosed that Hess's plane was a long-range reconnaissance type, not yet in service with the Luftwaffe.—U.P.A.
