GERMAN DIPLOMAT
CASE OF VON PAPEN LONDON, April 24. Germany's wartime arch-spy, Herr von Papen, lately Ambassador in Vienna, may have to face a charge of high treason, says the News-Chronicle. Herr Himmler, head of the secret police, is compiling from the archives at the German Embassy in Vienna evidence, which, he hopes, will justify an indictment of von Papen, the paper states, but Herr Hitler will possibly forbid a trial, owing to the unpleasant effect on the German public.
The News-Chronicle states that von Papen's second secretary, Count von Kageneck, recently flew to Sweden. Both von Kageneck and von Kefteler were present at the Berchtesgaden interview between Herr Hitler and Dr. Schuschnigg. Accordingly, they are aware of German commitments which were subsequently broken.
