His fingerprints were flown to West Berlin for comparison with those of Mueller, who, was reported alive in Hitler's bunker just "before the fall of the Nazis in 1945. A West Berlin newspaper, the Berliner Morgenpost, said the citv Drosecutor showed 12 Dic- tures taken 8f the -man in Pana ma in 1966 to Mueller's divorced wife and she exclaimed: "For God's sake, it is him." Prosecutor Gerhard Spletzer said later he had been in Munich Wednesday to see Mrs. Sophie Mueller but that he could not confirm the report. Mrs.

Mueller was not immediately available for comment. The chief of Panama's Department of Investigations, Hector Valdes, said there was a strong resemblance between the man arrested Tuesday and photographs of Mueller but his department had failed to connect the two. "I don't believe he is the man," Valdes told a reporter. West Germany's Justice Min istry said the suspect was iden tified as Mueller by a Belgian informant who also said a Belgian graphologist had confirmed the suspect's handwriting was that of the former lieutenant general in Heinrich Himmler's SS Elite Guard.

It came from Simon Wie senthal, the Viennese Nazi hun ter who directed Israeli agents to Eichmann In said he personally ar rested the man in a Panama City restaurant and described him as a peddler of ties, honey and liquor who had lived in Pan ama for eight or ten years, Valdes called him "half crazy." In London, Dr. Gerhart Eieg- ner, secretary-general of the World Jewish Congress, said Mueller was a leading participant in the 1942 Wannsee conference which planned the annihilation of Europe's Jews.

Two employes of the Israeli Ministry of Labor were arrested on Nov. 2 in the Munich home of Mueller's wife. Their lawyer said they were seeking evidence that Mueller was still alive and were acting as private individu als, not on government orders. PIXies byWoW and our national security," says Sen.
