Nazi Prisoner
Priest Speaks
Mt. Angel Students of Mt.
Angel prep school recently
heard Rt. Rev. Corbinian Hof
mcister, OSB, abbot of St.
Michael's abbey, Motion, Ba
varia, describe his years of im
prisonment under the nazi re
gime in Germany. Abbot Cor
binian came to America this
month to attend the centenary
celebration of St. Vincent's
archabbey, Latrobe, Pa., which
was founded from Metlen in
1846.
As early as 1H.18 Abbot Cor
binian was jailed for refusing
to reveal the whereabouts of
two members of his community
who were wanted for opposing
the nazis. He was released, but
was arrested again in 1943. He
was firsc imprisoned for a year
in Berlin, and then was
transferred to the concentration
camp at Dachau.
According to Abbot Corbin
ian, conditions in the Berlin
jail were worse than those he
encountered at Dachau. He
says that after the year in Ber
lin he had lost 50 pounds and
that his vision was impaired by
the dim light in his cell, which
was tiny and damp.
"When I was transferred to
Dachau, it seemed like heaven
compared to the gestapo jail in
Berlin, because once more I
could enjoy the fresh air and
see the light of day," he de
clares. Among his fellow-prisoners
at Dachau was the famed
Pastor Niemoeller. who had the
cell next to Abbot Corbinian.
Abbot Corbinian is one of the
few Germans who have come
to the United States since the
end of the European war. He
planned to reach America early
in September to attend the cel
ebration which marked the cen
tenary of the founding of St.
Vincent's archabbey and col
lege, but was delayed by bad
flying weather. Abbot Corbin
ian's own monastery, of which
he had been superior since 1029,
was founded in 771) and enlarg
ed by Charlemagne.
Abbot Corbinian came to Mt.
Angel to visit Father Romuald
Edenhofcr, OSB, a member of
the Metten community who has
been in the United States for
several years.

Box Busting
Gang Busted
Albany In all probability an
epidemic of mail box depreda
tions that had been plaguing
patrons on R.F.D. No. 4, Albany,
for several weeks has been bro
ken up by the arrest of nine
Albany 'teen agers and their
commitment to state institu
tions, it was revealed Wednes
day by Acting Postmaster J. F.
Howard.
According to the postmaster
tlie ring was delected last week
when a North Albany farmer
heard noises which he suspected
were made by chicken thieves.
He seized a gun and investigat
ed but found in front of his
house a car filled with boys
and girls in the act of pushing
over his mail box, using the
bumper of the car as their as
sault weapon.
The farmer, with his gun as
a talking point, induced the
youngsters to slay while a
neighbor called police. The
group was held for questioning
and a postal inspector was call
ed in. At 4110 final hearing this
week in juvenile court, the
postmaster said, each signed a
confession. Four boys were
sentenced each to a year at the
Woodburn school and five girls
were committed to Hilcrest.
The nine were paroled, how
ever, to the postmasler, but not
until after the parents of all
participants iad been told in
no honeyed terms of their re
spective responsibilities, par
ticularly inasmuch as the con
fessions revealed that several
destructive sorties had been
made at 2 and 3 a.m.
Drivers' licenses of all the
accused were suspended.
As far as the postal authori
ties have ascertained the depre
dations were confined to boxes
on route 4, some of them in
Bryant park. One of the youths
admitted knocking over 12
boxes on one trip, the court rec
ords show.

By Gully Plowing
Dallas "Plowing across gul
lies and waterways is a good
way to send a lot more Polk
county topsoil down the river,"
declares Robert Mitchell, chair
man of the county agricultural
conservation association.
Instead of plowing gullies
shut, farmers are being encour
aged by the county committee
to seed waterways to perman
ent grass cover. This used the
area to carry runoff water safe
ly across the fields, thereby pre
venting erosion.
For many years the agricul
tural conservation program has
recognized the importance of
properly sodded waterways,
Mitchell pointed out. The pay
ment rate to encourage this
practice js the highest per acre
of any practice payments made
by the county ACA committee.
