Doctor Tried To
Poison Hitler
By CURT RIESS
NEAR GERMAN - CZECHO
SLOVAK BORDER, Aug. 6 (NEA)
Hermann Goering's wife, Frau
Emmy Goering, told me Adolf
Hitler's personal physician sought
on one occasion to poison the
fuehrer. '
Exact time of this alleged in
cident she did not disclose. She
did give the reason. It was, ac
cording to Frau Goering, because
the doctor realized hat Hitler
was mad.
Here is the story as she told
it to me:
The Fuehrer had two physi
cians, Morell and Brandt. Morel)
decided that his patient should
die. So into a prescription he put
a quantity of strychnine that, in
course of time, would have been
lethal. By chance Doctor Brandt
saw the prescription. He recog
nized its significance, and rush
ed to Hitler.
"My fuehrer," he cried, "Mo
rell wants to murder you."
Hitler listened to Brandt's story
and sent lor Morell, with whom
he had a long talk. Then he call
ed Brandt back. He told Brandt
that while he appreciated him.
he had decided that one doctor

Secretary of War Henry L. Stim

of industrial concerns which con

BEGAN WORK BEFORE
1940 ON "U-23S"
5 WASHINGTON1, Aug. 0 (UP)
First knowledge American physi
cists had begun to corrul atomic
energy possibly the greatest
scientific discovery of all time
.came to light in the spring of
1940. :
Scientiists at time concluded:
One pound of U-235 if they
hud it and could harness it would
be equal in power output to
5,000,000 pounds of coal or 3,000,
000 pounds of gasoline, roughly
400,000 gallons.
One pound of U-235 would
contain as much energy as 15,000
tons of TNT, or 300 carloads of
50 tons each.
If this one pound of U-235 ex
ploded within l10,O00ths of a
second, as does TNT, the pres
sure produced would be of 100,
000,000 atmospheres. This would
be about 1,000,000 times tho pres
sure produced by TNT or nytro
glycerine, they estimated then.
was enough.
"I don't know whether he con
tinued to lake Morell's medicine,"
Emmy told me. "But from that
time on, he hated Brandt. When
Brandt allowed his wife, a Red
Cross nurse, to be captured by
the Americans, Hitler had Brandt
arrested. That's the fuehrer's
gratitude!'1
