His secretary died with him. The 35-year-old earl, born Charles Henry Goerge Howard, had seen a lot of high adventure around the world. At 17 he was an apprentice on a windjammer during a round the-world cruise, He worked as ranch hand In Australia and once was a second lieutenant of the Scots Guards. From the de Jure point of view this was an Incongruous arrange ment, but one now shown to have been fully Justified. The fact is that Hess was removed from the position which could have made him Im mediate successor to the fuehrer." Hess was described as a man. who in the vigor of his powers, perform ed great service for the party but was retiring by nature and sutler- ing increasingly from physical all ments and tortured especially by sleeplessness. It was felt In many quarters that he lacked supreme leadership. Of the landing in scouana tne Germans had no authentic informa tion. But there was no disposition to doubt the authenticity of the reports.

It has been granting appll cations which do not involve more equipment or route miles, such as those at Eugene, Salem and Bel Ungham."

Albert, cash ier; Claude Gatch and Cyrus Woodworth. But the business of the bank was Increasing and late In the fall it was decided a larger force was needed so the founder of the bank started to make a banker out of his son. His first duties Included sweeping out the building and starting fires, as well as keeping them going during the day time. When not engaged In these occu pations he was initiated Into the fundamentals of the banking busi ness and during the nearly 60 years which have elapsed since that date he has been adding to his banking knowledge and has remained ac tive In the affairs of the bank un til it was sold to the United States National. Since that time he has maintained his desk in the accus tomed corner in the lobby. But today the desk, shelves and some other belongings came over. Reserved by him when the bank was sold was a large picture of his father, a huge painting of George Washington, a picture of a clipper ship and a ship model. All of these are now placed conspicuously In the lobby of the trust company offices, The ship picture was painted by a Chinese painter In the harbor of Hong Kong and Is a picture of ship owned by c. E. Tllton, brother of the Portland banker, Tllton, who handled ships out of New York. The painter gave the picture to a Chi nese tea merchant, who in turn gave It to Mr. Tllton on a trip to Hong Kong. Mr. Tllton, on his way home to New York through here, presented It to Asahel Bush, the elder, some 60 years ago. The ship model also has a history. It was made In the Oregon state prison by scion of a prominent Michigan family serving a term here for manslaughter for killing a lawyer in Astoria, During the Governor Moody administration Asahel Bush was a member of the first Oregon pardon board. He Investigated the case In question, recommendeo th man's pardon, which was given, and the man who had made the ship model in prison presented It to Mr. Bush.

Periodical Check-up Personal Service Easy t'ayment Plan Satisfaction guaranteed 'Formerly Thompson A Ol'itifnl British sources would not say positively that these were put thera by Hess' aerial pursuers. They said that his 800-mlle flight was the vol untary act of a rational man, show ing that "the core of Germany was rotten." They declared that his was no special mission that he brought no peace terms, but still the British were the beneficiaries of a great propaganda windfall, if not actual military help. Opposed Russians There was some speculation that Hess was in disagreement on war strategy or that he retained his ear ly anti-communist ideas and op posed closer German relations with Soviet Russia. The German version was that Hess was a victim of hallucinations and one of these was an undying hope for restoration of friendship between Germany and Britain and that he might have reasoned that, through personal sacrifice, he could bring this about. How Hess, now a prisoner of war at some secret place, might advance this concept of what the nazls call ed his disordered mind was a factor for the manipulation of British in telligence, propaganda and states manship. Informed sources said tonight that Hess' flight to Scotland "ob viously entailed a high degree of physical and moral courage." A leg was injured when he balled out. Fine Flying Job Hess Is In a hospital bed and has been equipped with army pajamas," an Informant said. "He is comforta ble and, except for his slight leg pain, he Is quite well.
