Dr. Clifford E. Maser, Dean of
School of Business and Technol
ogy at Oregon State College, spent
a sabbatical year wonting wiui
refugees in Germany and Austria
under the auspices of the Ameri
can Friends (Quaker) ' Service
Committee. This brought him into
intimate, personal contact with
many of those who have sought
refuge in these countries and gave
him a comprehension of the vast
cess of the refugee problem. Since
his return last fall he has made
many addresses informing people
here of that problem. It was my
privilege to hear him at a dinner
of the Presbyterian Men's Club
Tuesday night.
Since 193 Q, reported Maser. the
nations have been busy making
refugees out of persons previous
ly permanently domiciled in their
homelands. There are some 32
million persons in that classifica
tion: refugees still festering in
France after fleeing from Spain at
' the time of the Civil War; refu
gees all over western Europe as a
result of the Second World War:
Arab refugees "on the borders of
Israel and Jewish refugees in Is
rael; refugees in India and Paki
stan following the partition of In
dia; refugees in Korea. The great
est number are in Western Europe
about 24 million; and their num
bers are increasing at the rate of
' some 7,000 per week. , .
Maser classified these refugees
as Volkdeustche, such as Sudeten
Germans of Czechoslovakia who
were expelled after the war; the
Riechdeutsche or Germans from
territories lost as a result of the
war; East (Soviet) Zona Germans
who have fled westward; displa
ced persons, those who

The Minnesota prison expert is

administration at Stillwater,

Press reported he had planned to
retire July l but had resigned aft

Utecht was quoted as saying he
was led up with the way the pris

and the supervisor, Karle Leirfal

quate and poor administration."
Utecht was one of the three
wardens recommended to come to

charges of bank robbery.
The tall, handsome youth was
snared by a police road block af
ter police A received . a tip on the
license number of his car.
His arrest climaxed an Intense
search that saw state, .county and
city law officers and a flock of
FBI agents swing into action.
The youth offered no resistance
when arrested by State Police

Richards, Mill City policeman.
And there was no violence when
the Mt Angel Branch, U. S. Na
tional Bank of Portland, was held
up at the 3 pjn. closing hour. "
Asked for Loan
Bank. Manager J. H. Fournier
said the lad calmly walked into
the bank at2:55 and told Hen
rietta Saalfeld, a clerk, that he
wanted to get a loan on his car.
He was referred to Walter Kruse,
assistant manager. -
-We talked for 1Q minutes,H
said Kruse. "He said his name was
Roy Anderson and his father
lived up around Molalla His story
didn't sound right so 1 turned him
down.-
By now the bank- had been
closed for five minutes. Finally,
Kruse said, the lad whipped out
a .32 calibre pistol and said '"This
is a Hold.Up."
Ordered te Lie Down
Kruse said the youth then or
dered the bank's four women and
two men employes to lie face down
on the floor of the lobby in front
of the tellers' cages. :-
Then Elaine Annen was order
ed to gather up the money. The
young, brown-haired clerk hand
ed him a pack of $2 bills. .
"Is that all there is?" the youth
was quoted as asking.'
Manager Fournier told her to
give him the rest of it The money
represented the day's working
capitoi which the clerks had been
counting. i .
Put Money in Sack :
The robber put the money in a
paper sack, the kind grocer's use,
and left ' 1
"He looked like he didn't have
a care In the world when he walk
ed to his car," said William Bean,
who saw him from across the
street .
The ' assistant manager. ' Kruse.
ran from the bank, yelling "The
bank's been held up." He jumped
in his car and gave chase for
three miles but failed to pick up
the trail. -
Law officers swarmed into ac
tion immediately and many road
blocks were established. They had
a good description of the late
model Ford that was used.
