One thing she told Immigration authorities was that Captain Fritz! Weidemann, Hitler's World War, Commander who has been serving as German consul in Sen Francisco, 1s in bad with the Berlin rulers and may be recalled. His fall from grace, according to the Princess' tale, was due -to his intimacy with Rudolf Hess, No. 3 Nazi who startled the world by his flight to England. Berlin con- siders Weldemann a Hess hench- man, the Princess claimed, and he has been on the “blacklist” for some time. The Princess also gave Immigra- tion officials a list of Nazl “sym- pathizers” in Britain who, she said, have been secretly trying to effect & negotiated peace with Hitler. Sev- eral of those named were associated with the late Lord Rothermere, him- self high on the list. ‘This informa- tion has been turned over to the State Department for transmission to the British. Weidmann is not the only Nazl agent in the United States who has been placed on the spot by the Hess flight. Princess Stefanie named oth- ers, both in diplomatic and under- cover fifth column ranks. Though the Princess has been re- leased from the San Francisco de- tention station, a deportation war- rant still stands, She is being kept under surveillance at her fashion- able Palo Alto, Calif, apartment, until she can be Shipped out of the country.

Giving point to these delibera- tions, General Dentz, commander of the Frénch Forces in Syria and Lebanon, issued an order to his troops commanding them “to clear the defense of our possessions and defend them with our forces.
