Named to Board
Governor Earl Snell today an
nounced the appointment of Phil

til 1953.
Mr. Metschan, a native Ore

cation, later attending Willam

Compares Fire
Losses to War
The causes and effects of fire
and of war ore quite similar,
Seth E. Thompson, stale insur
ance commissioner, pointed out
during a talk before the Salem
Board of Realtors Friday noon.
He said that in each case there
was an economic loss which canr
not be replaced even though in
surance payments were involv
ed in a fire and indemnity pay
ments in the case of war. The
destruction of materials in each
instance, the speaker said, could
not be equalled by salvage val
ues. Faulty construction often is
the basic cause of fire, Thomp
son pointed out. Similarly,
wars may be incurred because
of poor governmental usage.
Many students of war, Thomp
son said have come to the con
clusion that pence at any price
is the more economical process
in the long run.
Even though the physical
plant in business and in govern
ment may be particularly sound,
nevertheless there is still dan
ger of fire and war, because of
careless operation, the speaker
stated. He compared the meas
ures taken to prevent war, such
as ordinances, education and
the like, to those involved in
heading off wars disarma
ments and agreements among
nations.

G erman Commander at Aachen
Surrenders Unconditionally
By Don Whitehead
Aachen, Oct. 21 Wi Eight hundred Germans, the remnants
of the Aachen garrison, surrendered unconditionally today, and
all organized resistance ended in the city and its suburbs.
The last defenders, who had
been ordered by Hitler to fight
to the death, laid down their
arms at noon after savage
doughboy attacks had ham
mered them into traps from
which there was no escape.
A dramatic silence fell over
the shell of a city as the guns
became quiet for the first time
in days.

Scouts Seek
Funds for

A fund of $10,500 with
which to improve their camp,
will be sought by Cascade area
council, Boy Scouts of America,
according to decision reached
Thursday night during the
quarterly meeting of the board
of directors. The board will seek
permission from the Salem
Community Chest to conduct a
financial campaign. A fair sized
nucleus for a camp improve
ment fund was recently rea
lized through the medium of the
waste paper campaign. Ray
Glatt of Woodburn, N. C. Jo
hanson of Lebanon and A. C.
Haag and R. L. Elfstrom of Sa
lem were named on a commit
tee to administer the fund.
The membership of the coun
cil has reached an all time high
of 1675 scouts and cubs, and
an objective of 2000 was set up
for the year.
A scout circus for the entire
council was scheduled for next
March, while the patrol leaders

U. S. Casualties in the capture
of Aachen were described of
ficially at supreme headquar
ters as relatively light. Unof-
fical estimates of the bag of
Nazi prisoners ranged up to 10,-

The Germans threw in two
counterattacks Friday against
the American wall east of Aach'
en, and apparently were work
ing desperately to tighten their
defenses before Cologne.
Shrines Still Stand
After visiting the city, as
sociated press war correspond
ent Hal Boyle said the storied
Aachen cathedral, tomb of Cha
lcmagne and one of Germany's
religifnis shrines, still stands
virtually undamaged in an area
of unspeakable ruin. German
artillery still is within range,
however, he said.

225 No. Liberty Opposite (.nlilen Pheasant
ing student, was preparing to
launch an assault on a bunker
when the German remnants had
a command post when the en
emy decided to surrender and
hung out a white flag.
Botts and his troops had
closed in on the bunker last
night, fighting through houses
by flashlight in one of tha
weirdest combats of the war.
Out of the bunker came a
slender dapper colonel at the
head of 300 troops. They
marched smartly in column un
der the guard of Botts. The
men and officers were all well
groomed, with shining black
boots.
Reluctantly the officer wrote
iut the surrender of his troops
ind ended the document by sav
ing "Aachen is in American
lands and therefore everything
oolongs to the Americans that
was German."
But When the sllvor-hnirarf
American general had the sur
render note translated he wn
not satisfied because it did not
say unconditional.
Finally the German colonel
turned, picked up the pen and
hurriedly wrote another docu
ment. This time he said:
Aachen The defenriins
German garrison ran out nf fond
and ammunition. I am forced
to give up mv command and
surrender Aachen uncondition
ally with all its stores to the
commanding officer of the vie-
tonous Americans."
The translation was made bv
Pfc. Sigurris M. Ekis, Washing
ton, D. C, who was acting ai
interpreter.
The surrender was signed nt
noon. Then the colonel asked
and was granted permission to
speak to his troops outside the
building.
The commander climbed onto
the hood of a jeep. His men
came to attention, and In a

"Dear German soldiers: I
am speaking to you at a painful
moment. I was forced to sur
render because we ran out of
ammunition, food and water.
"I saw that further fighting
was useless. I am acting against
orders. I was supposed to fighV

Please behave as such.
"I also wish you the best of
health In your future travel
and fast return to the Father
land after hostilities have end
ed. Return to Germany to help
rebuild our country.
"I was refused by the Amer
icans the authority to give the
Sieg Heil and Hell Hitler. We
can still do it in our minds.
They he saluted smartly and
stepped down. He was taken
under guard to a cage In the
rear.
