The kind words come from Charles V. Stanton, editor of the Koseburg News-Review, night. With time to kill, he made a leisurely survey of condi tions in the downtown district, He observed: I noticed unusual courtesy on the part of motorists In giv ing pedestrians the right of way at crossings. How has this been obtained? Through compulsion or education or both? No compulsion that we know of, Charley. There has been little, if any attempt to enforce the pedestrian safety law. There has been some education and suggestion to which the drivers of Bend and the surrounding area have been highly, receptive. Besides, the people of the Bend community are naturally courteous and law-abiding. There is also the factor of well-defined pedestrian lanes and, it occurs to us, the wide streets, allowing for four-lane to do with it. Another thing that our visitor noticed was that "your beer outlets all are designated as 'clubs' rather than 'taverns' as is the case on this side of the mountains . He inquires if this is the result of any city ordinance or whether it is merely general practice in the area. Definitely it does not stem from city ordinance, nor do all the beer dispensaries use the designation, "club". Years ago, "The Club" was a favorite business name among saloons. Later, club organization was found to be a means of getting around some of the provisions of the liquor regulation laws. From one or. the other, we believe, some latter day establish ments got the idea and others followed suit. Now that he men tions it, we realize that there are more "clubs" in Bend than one would ordinarily expect to see. The Roseburg editor got back to the matter of driver cour tesy at the close of his note and wound up with the question, "Didn't Bend win some sort of award for traffic safety lasst year"? ' Yes, indeed, and in other years as well. Something of the kind comes Bend's way every now and then, we're happy to say. THAT MAIL TRIBUNE SIGN The printing in our news columns on October 9 of the cut of the Medford Mail Tribune sign found by Chet Springer down below Chemult has led to a bit of reminiscing on the part of one of our old friends and to an interesting item of highway history. With these we have the knowledge of who it was who put the sign up and under what circumstances. All this comes to us in a note from George Putnam, editor of the Salem Capitol Journal, but formerly editor of the Medford, Mail Tribune. Let George Putnam tell the story, thus: I spotted a cut In your Issue of Oct. 9 of "120 miles to Medford- Mall Tribune" found by Chet Springer, The sign was placed by me in September 1913 when Judge Tou Vellc, Jess Engart and I took a trip in my old "White Streak" Bulck, Medford to Maryhill, where we were guests of Sam Hill. We went via Fort Klamath, what was called Beaver Marsh, Bend ', and Shaniko to Biggs, where we ferried across. Os West, then governor, returned with us In my car. Sam Hill and others accompanied us, In Sam's car, back to Med ford, where Hill and West opened the campaign for Jackson County's $500,000 road bond Issue for the start of the Pacific Highway over the Slskiyous. We were entertained at a din ner by the Band Commercial Club where Hill stressed good roads. There were no roads in those days, we got lost several times and had a hell of a time. Ask West to tell you about it some time. It's a good story. We not only had no roads In those days but no road signs. So I had some enamelled tin signs made and plastered all the roads in Jackson County with them at about a mile apart, nailing on house numbers for miles. Had some left over so every few miles stuck them up along the road. ' Some years since, an advertising man I had In Medford brought In one of them he found somewhere In Central Ore gon, and said that when he saw it, it made him cry for nostalgia. This note from George Tut nam reelills incidents of the early days of Oregon highway development. Sam Hill was the pioneer highway enthusiast. Oswald West, as governor, made a start toward construction by the state by setting up road camps and using prisoners. Jackson was the first county to vote bonds for highway construction. We are following George Putnam's suggestion and asking ex-Governor West for his story. And we are very glad to have the history of the sign.

Date of the hearings will be set just as soon as sen. Homer Fere uson of Michigan, chairman of the committee can recover from a chest cold and get back to Washington. Principal aim of the senate's Investigation Into the Koch case will be to find some formula to get the army off the hook and get Frau Koch's sentence stepped up again. Reduction of the Koch sentence, has. however, aroused a storm of protest In the United States. Frau Koch was the wife of one of the commanders of Buchenwald. She was accused of beating prisoners ana or instigating their torture. In her apartment It was said there were lamp shades made from the skin of human victims. In all there were 31 Nazis ac cused of horrors at Buchenwald. They were tried before an eieht- Judge military court, headed by Brie. Gen Emll Kiel, now station- ed at Scott Air Base, Belleville, in. Prosecutor at the Buchenwald trial was Mai. William D. Den- son of Birmingham, Ala., now an attorney for Atomic Energy Com mission In Washington. Defense counsel was MaJ. Carl Whitney, now stationed at the Pentagon, Washington. After sentences were handed down by the court, Major Whit ney went tnrougn tne routine le gal move of filing petition for review and clemency. In all, 13 sentences were reduced as a re sult. Several of the death senten ces were cut to life Imprisonment. Frau Koch was given life im prisonment instead of the death penalty because she became preg nant before her trial began and her child had not been born when she was sentenced. Record of the whole case was sent to review officer, Lt.-Col. Clio E. Straight, deputy Judge advocate general for milltarygov ernment In Germany. This is the procedure in military cases. Col onel Straight arbitrarily decided that part of the testimony against Ilse Koch was false or insuffi cient, evidence. He did this solely on reading tb Buchenwald trial record of over 1,000 pages. He did not' see nor re-examine any of the witnesses. He then recom mended that Frau Koch's sen tence be reduced from life to four years. This was confirmed last June by Gen. Lucius D. Clay, U. S. military governor In Ger many, No announcement was made at the time. Lieutenant-Colonel Straight Is now stationed at the Pentagon. He will be called as a witness be fore the Ferguson committee. So will William Denson, the prose cutor, and Major Whitney, the defense counsel. Another fitness who may get a chance to defend the army's position on the Koch case is Leon B. Poullada. now In the foreign service Institute, department of state. Poullada was defense coun sel for the Nordhnusen concen tration camp war criminals. Nord hausen was a branch of Buchen wald, but its staff was tried sep erately. PoulUdo has made public a long written statement on the Buchenwald and otner war crimes trials. He admits that "Frau Koch was a morally depraved woman not fit for the company of decent people anywhere." But he claims that much of the evi dence cited against her was hear say, and that the court was sway ed by prejudices. What bothers the senate inves tlgatlug committee Is that cutting of the Koch sentence will make the German people believe that the atrocity stories were not true in the first place. Whitewashing one of the principal Buchenwald defendants by letting her off with a minor sentence, it is feared, will play Into the hands of Nazis who were reluctant to believe that anything unusual had happened In a camp where 50,000 human beings were ruthlessly extermi nated, und another 20,000 starved.

IASIER J BRtATHINa THE BEND BULLETIN, BEND, OREGON Headless Valley Tale Debunked Edmonton, Canada UP) The fabulous northland legend of the Headless or Nahanni valley has received another debunking. The fabled valley is 700 air miles from here and starts at the Junction of the British Columbia, Yukon and northwest territories boundaries. Three American adventurers from Albuquerque, N. M., Kim Murphy, Leonard Prehn and Nor man Thomas, arrived In this Al berta capital from the far north. All agreed that there really Is nothing very mysterious about the legendary valley about which so much has been written, and so many tales told. Murphy reports he found no headless bodies in the Nahanni valley. He says the fatalities re ported there through the years were due to either starvation or accident. A total of 13 traders, explorers, prospectors and trap pers are known to have died there. Strange tales have been told through the years of the headless bodies of men found with gold nuggets or gold dust beside them, victims of the wrath of firce In dians protecting their sacred gold. Other yarns tell of the wondrous tropical vai'ey which blooms the year around. Kim Murpny savs ne ana nis friends encountered warm springs In the Nahanni valley, but deny the existence of a tropi cal vnlley, or any signs of lush growth. Washington Scene By Ilarman W. Nichols (United Press Staff Correttpumlerit) Washington. Oct. 18 OB Your iceman is going to school. Call It Ignorance on my part 11 you like. But up to now the only icemen I ever knew to set foot inside a classroom were Red Grange and Dick Muckerman. Hod was the "galloping gnost of the gridiron who ran rough shod over the rest or the Big Ten at the University of Ulnois in the 20's. Summertimes, he parcelled out 100-pound cakes of ice in Ms home town Wheaton, ill. muck erman owns the St. Louis Browns of the American Baseball league, and, so far as I know, never shoul dered a pound of ice in his life, although he owns an Ice and coal company. Anyhow, a school lor icemen is in, session in Washington right this minute. I attended one of their classes, sponsored by the National Association of Ice In dustries. The Ice man not only "cometh he "teachcth." There, at the head of the table was Dan Pragcr, director of per sonnel for the Industry. Jake Ruppert, no kin to the New York beer and Yankee Rupperts, was acting as superintendent of the school. And my friend, Bob Har per, the voice of icemen every where, was doing most of the talk ing. rne idea oi tne scnooi is to teaci icemen how to sell and de liver ice. Bob told 'em straight-off that they didn't have to worry about selling Irozen water. The deliv ery problem is the thing. An Iceman irom Norm Carolina Jumped up and said how about two-way radios on oenvery trucks? A 200-pound iceman from Texas said he'd tried that and found it too expensive. Also too complicated. What, he asked, if you have an order for a dozen cubes to cool a fevered brow and an order for 100 cubes for a high ball party? Which fire do you put out first? The fevered brow! And who gets mad? The guy who's pitchin' the party. "Icemen," the man from Texas said, "can't afford to have any body mad at 'cm especially sick people." An Iceman from New York said he was having a dickens of a time because New York liquor stores can't sell anything but liquor. "No ice cubes?" butted In a man from Illinois. "No." How about boot-legging Ice cubes? A tut-around the table. T:- m up spoke Don Rose of Richmond, Ky. the only guy who over mailed me a letter from the inside of an ice box. He was trying to prove a man can't live long without the cool ing effect of something cool. Don said he proved It all right. But he proved somelhing else. loo. "You can't stay Inside a refrig erator too long. I tried It a couple months ago and I've still got a stiff shoulder." Cecil C.
