EX-NAZI OFFICIAL
REPORTED JOB IN WASHINGTON
NEW YORK, January 28. Dr. Ernst Hanfstaengl, former Nazi Press Chief and an intimate of Hitler, is now employed by the United States State Department, says the United Press correspondent at Washington. The State Department refuses to comment, but observers in Washington assume that he is acting in an advisory capacity. Dr. Hanfstaengl graduated from Harvard in 1909, was in the United States during the Great War, and later went to Germany and played a prominent part in Hitler's rise till 1937, when he left for Switzerland. He was interned in England in 1939, and later was transferred to a Canadian internment camp. Details of his release are secret. The North American Newspaper Alliance says that Dr. Hanfstaengl is in the position of a man who is turning State's evidence. Later the State Department said it had been unable to find any record of Dr. Hanfstaengl ever being employed by the department.
