HOSTAGES IN REICH
REMOVAL TO INTERIOR HELD FOrTbARGAINING NEW YORK, Feb, C. The New York Times’ correspondent in Stockholm has received from private sources in Berlin a report that relatives of Allied statesmen and captive Allied leaders, held as hostages, have been removed from zones likely to be over-run by the Allied armies to the neighbourhood of Munich where the Nazis plan to make a last stand. . King Leopold of Belgium, who is regarded as the most valuable hostage, is now in a remote Bavarian castle. The Austrian Chancellor, Dr. Kurt Schusnigg, is now being treated better because the Nazis hope he may be useful mediating with the Vatican. The Warsaw hero. General Bor, is now incarcerated: close to Berchtesgaden, where the Nazis are trying to persuade him to join the renegade Russian, General Vlassov, in a military campaign against Stalin.
