Man Crucified
On Crude Cross
Chicago, March 9 ilP A man
with a crown of thorns on his
head was found nailed and lashed
to a cross beneath the elevated
tracks today.
The crucifixion victim was Fred
Walscher, 44, a porter in a tav
ern. There were spikes driven
through his hands into the cross.
Blood trickled from a wound in
his side.
Walscher told police from a hos
pital hed that he was nailed to
the cross by men he did not know.
In Walscher's home detectives
found letters indicating he was
the head of an organization called
"American Industrial Democ
racy." Authorities said they never
had heard of such a group.
Police Capt. P. B. O'Connell was
skeptical. He said Walscher
might have arranged the cruci
fixion as a publicity stunt for the
A.I.D.
Detectives questioned E. H.
Bronner, a chemist, after Wal
scher mentioned his name. They
also began a search for Joseph
Schlessinger, who was a witness
when Walscher became a natu
ralized citizen of the United
States in 1927. They found that
Schlessinger left for California
this morning.
Walscher was still conscious

Ho was taken to St. Joseph's
hospital where his condition was
described as serious.
Walscher was unable to explain
the crucifixion when questioned
by Police Capt. P. B. O'Connell.
He said he was in his room in
the basement when a man came
in and told him there was an au
tomobile accident down the street
and to come at once.

Portland, Ore., Mach 9 (U')The
Oregon WFA wage board today
interpreted 85 cents as the hourly

OREGON STATEHOUSE JOTTINGS
By John W. Dunlnp
(United PreM Staff Corrcttponilent)
Salem, Ore., March 9 mi Those
two little words andor have
raised a lot of hob down through
the years.
Senator William Strayer of Bak
er is determined to spare Oregon
as much trouble as possible by In
sisting that no laws pass the legis
lature with that expression in
cluded. Like n watchdog at the front
door, Bill Strayer gives no quarter
in his one-man crusade. He has
plenty of legal ammunition to out
law the words. He now has the
good natured help of his col-
leagues in spotting the hybrid con-1
coction. He argues that a definite -
statement of Intent will stand up :
in court but not andor.
For example, he quotes from a
Wisconsin court case where Jus- j
lice Fowler minced no words In i
condemning andor. Here it is: j
"It is manifest that we are con
fronted with the task of first con
struing 'anor,' that befuddling,
nameless thing, that Janus-faced
verbal monstrosity, neither word
nor phrase, the child of a brain of
someone too lazy or too dull to
express his precise meaning, or
too dull to know what he did
mean, now commonly used by law
yers in drafting legal documents,
through carelessness or ignorance
or as a cunning device to conceal
rather than express meaning, with
view to furthering the interest of
their clients. We have even ob
served the 'thing' in statues, in
the opinions of courts, and in
statements of briefs of counsel,

Promotion of Ollle L. Bowman
and Willa McCann to the rank of
second lieutenants in the Bend

today by the 32nd army air base
force unit in New York City, na
tional headquarters for the CAP.
Bowman and Mrs. McCann were
assigned to executive officer and

Other officers of the Bend

Lt. Thomas F. Brooks, medical
officer, Lt. Fred P. Fredericksen,
flight leader, and Lt. Walter F.

From the Oregon supreme
court, Senator Strayer quotes the
late Justice John L. Rand that the

Bill Strayer has been in the senate

Strayer is typical of the small
town lawyer who gives his time to
public service. He is an old line
democrat who has practiced law
in Baker 42 years and for seven
years before that In Eagle valley.
He has the vitality and clear think
ing of a man much younger than
his 79 years and is a stickler for
parliamentary procedure. Many a
speaker has been guided out of
rostrum trouble by the wise coun-
sel of Strayer.
In addition to his law, Strayer
has been a commissioner of the
state department of geology and
mineral industries since the de
partment was established and was
chairman several years. He has
long been a member of the senate
