Roman Catholic sources in Munich have again denied that the Catholic church helped Martin Bormann, Hitler’s wartime deputy, to flee Germany at the end of World War II. Documents belonging to a former Hitler aide, Voktor Brack, published Friday, sought to prove that Bormann had enough funds to escape and did not need the help of the Roman Catholic church. The documents, in the possession of 85-year-old suffragan Bishop Johannes Neuhaeusler, indicate that Bormann and his brother, Albert, escaped via Spain in May 1945.

There will be no Daily News Bulletin December 25, due to the Christmas holiday.
