HITLER NYSTERY IS HE DEAD?
FORMER U.S. ENVOY'S ' THEORY
(By Telegraph—Press Association —Copyrifht.fi (Rec. 11.20 a.m.) NEW YORK, Feb. f Mr. Joseph Dayies, former United States Ambassador to Russia, who caused a sensation by his broadcast suggestion that Hitler is -> dead, says that he bases his belief on a series of logical deductions. "The days of mourning in Germany), and Hitler's failure to make a speech' on the occasion of the Nazi anniversary suggest the possibility that Hitler is dead," he said. "I think it is as well to say it, if only to smoke him out. Either the High Command has prevented him from appearing, or it " is possible that he shot himself or th« High Command has shot him. Hitler lias been out of the public eye for more than a month. Why are ther« no personal appearances? "It is commonly reported and generally accepted that when Hitler in- ~ vaded the Ruhr in 1936 he told the ~ German High Command that if his judgment was wrong he would shoot himself. Both last winter and > this winter he encountered strong opposi-. tion from the German High Command. He hazarded all on Stalingrad. Knowing Hitler as we do as a psychopathic and a paranoic, with delusions of grandeur and greatness, would he belikely to permit the Stalingrad disaster without taking the leading role arid explaining it away?"
