There has been| 11° 011191‘ 51811 of friction in Hit- ler's inner circle or between the Nazi military wing headed by Goering and the political or party wing which Hess captained.

Nevertheless, Berlin's explan- ations of the l-less flight are con- flicting and subject to question. The mere fact that Berlin thought ii: essential to be first with the news that. he was missing and to cast doubt. on his sanity indicates that Nazi high authority knew i where he had fled and why. i

This leader actually is Ma . John Bagor. Glubb. 44, a Co shman who has carried on the La/wrencei tradition in the desert, where a good many Arabs believe he is Lawrence sent buck to them.

Glubb, who brought peace among ' the nomadic Bedouins in Trans- jordan and Iraq after years among them, is of a desert patrol of hand-picked Arabs. each of whom has sworn his life to Abu I-Ieneik.

Glubb knows Iraq better than almost any living ltnglishman and the Bcdouins ave called him "Lord of the Desert." .

His body was found beside the , tracks near Vera. a town in north- ‘ western Saskatchewan, after he was reported missing from his} compartment when the train resch- 1 eded Saskatoon early Sunday i morning. He was en route east to i attend the opening of the Senate ‘ at Ottawa Tuesday. ,

The body was unidentified for, several hours, but late last night Miss Dorothy Taylor, daughter cf 1 the Senator, said she had been advised by railway officials that it was the body of her father.

when the train reached Sask- atoon. the Senators compartment was empty and the window glass broken. His baggage was in the. compartment and there was no indication of violence. Subsequent search led to discovery of the body clad in night clothes.
