Photographs of the swift Mes serschmitt fighting plane in which Hess flew from Augsburg, Ger many, showed the tail was punc tured by machine-gun bullets apparently inflicted ' either by German or British pursuers. The plane, which crashed as Hess dropped to safety with a broken ankle, was wrecked, the engine half-buried in the ground. British officials said that Hess, lying in a Glasgow hospital, had been "positively identified" by Ivone Kirkpatrick, former British charge d'affairs in Berlin, and that he had been examined by doctors and found sane. In Berlin, commenting on the war's strangest episode, a Nazi spokesman rejected stories that Hess fled to save his life from a possible impending "blood purge," declaring: "He was not troubled by any notion the Gestapo or anyone else was pursuing him. Nothing like a purge of the party or government either was feared by Hess or is in the offing." In Washington, diplomatic cir cles said if Hess' good faith were established, the British would gain a wealth or highly rename information on Hitler's war schemes particularly since Hess was a member ol tne ruenrer secret war council. Incident Tragic to Hess Family Capital circles interpreted the German announcement hinting broadly at insanity as an attempt to discredit any information Hess might give. declared only that 'the incident A German spokesman, however, was extremely tragic to Hess and his family personally and will not have the slightest influence on German military or foreign nolitical policy." Hess left a wife and child In Germany in setting off on his fantastic venture, just hix days after he sat side by side with Hitler at a meeting of the Ger man reichstag. Berlin quarters said Hess suf fered "hallucinations" as a result of a long-standing stomach disor der, affliction of the nerves and consequent sleeplessness.

Thigpen, United Airlines Portland district traffic manager, expressed confidence today the Civil Aeronautics Board would sanction service to Salem and Eu gene, Ore., and Bellingham, Wash. CAB examiners recommended such service today but disapproved service to Klamath Falls, Ore. "The CAB as a rule accepts the recommendation of its examiners," Thigpen said. "We feel these will be accepted. The CAB has been denying applications which re quire more equipment and add route miles, and I presume that is the reason the Klamath Falls re quest was denied. It has been granting applications which do not involve more equipment or route miles, such as those at Eugene, Salem and Bellingham." He said United would be ready to inaugurate service to Eugene and Salem as soon as CAB's ap- I proval is granted and the airports are approved by the local inspec tion board. ity.'
