, Time Stopped for Ancient City
With Wartime Knockout Raids
By JAMES DEVLIN
Kassel. Germany, Jan. 31 W) World War II seems like only
yesterday in the ruins of this bomb-blasted German city.
Bodies still lie beneath uncleared rubble almost five years
after the war. The "graves" are marked by weather-beaten
wreaths and crosses placed atop levelled homes by friends and
-relatives.
Kassel suffered its mortal
blow on October 22. 1943. Brit
ish bombers attacked that night
with high explosive and fire
bombs. German officials say
that 20,000 Kasselers were killed
and half the city wrecked in an
hour and a half.
By the end of the war, the
city was 78 per cent ruined by
German calculations, 68 per cent
by allied figures.
Asks U. S. Mercy Zygmunt
Figlerowicz, 20-year-old Pol
ish refugee, surrendered to
San F r a n c i sco immigration
authorities as an illegal en
trant with, the hope that the
U. S. government would "un
derstand." Figlerowicz, born
in Grudziadz, Poland, was in
terned by the Germans in
1939. He escaped and met in
vading Americans, who advis
ed him to come to the U. S.
Using a Canadian seaman's
birth certificate, he made his
way to Montreal and then
drifted to San Francisco. "If
you send me back to Poland,
it will mean 10 or 15 years in
jail,' he said. (Acme Tele-photo)
School Employes in
Portland Better Paid
Portland, Jan. 31 (m City
school employes won a fight last
night to have a $200 cost-of-liV'
ing allowance paid last year add
ed to their basic minimum and
maximum salary scales.
The school directors voted 4
to 2 after a two-hour special
session with representatives of
the teachers, clerks and janitor
ial workers.
The new minimums provide
$2,600 minimum and $4,300
maximum for teachers with
bachelor degrees; $2,800 mini
mum and $4,700 maximum for
those with master degrees.
Card Plans Changed
Silverton The card party
planned by Delbert Reeves un
it No. 7 American Legion aux
iliary, for Tuesday evening, a
postponement from Monday eve
ning, has ' now been postponed
indefinitely, or until the weath
er moderates, by the committee
in charge, Mrs. Lewis Hall, Mrs
Oscar Edlund and Mrs. George
Towe.
Regardless of which figure
you use, the 1000-year-old, his
toric city in the northeast cor
ner of the American zone pre
sents an almost endless pan
orama of gaunt, ghostly build
ings. .
Somehow people still live
here. There are lights in struc
tures that still stand. Stores
have been built some just one
story affairs built in slots
carved in the rubble.
Germans will tell you the big
British raid was in retaliation
for the German bombing of
Coventry. Allies point out Kas
sel was headquarters of .the 11th
German army, a huge railway
yard, and the home of the Hen
schel works probably the larg
es? locomotive factory in Eu
rope.
During the war, it made guns
and tanks. This plant, never
knocked out entirely, reputedly
sent tanks with their paint still
wet directly into battle as the
American army approached the
city.
The Henschel works and two
other Kassel factories making
railway passenger cars and
freight cars are back in business
at about 50 per cent capacity
Henschel is contracting to build
locomotives for South Africa
as well as for German use.
Also still standing amid the
devastation are some of the sev
en huge office and barracks
buildings the German army oc
cupied in Kassel.
German officials simply shrug

Bank Stock Sale
Issue in Lebanon
Albany, Ore., Jan. 31 W)
Profits from the sale of 122
shares of stock in the First Na
tional Bank of Lebanon were at
issue in a suit here involving two
members of a prominent Linn
county family.
James Powell Garland, Wash
ington, D.C., son of the late Sam
uel M. Garland, has sued his
cousin, Hugh R. Kirkpatrick, for
a share of the profits. Garland
claims there was a "secret profit"
in the resale of the bank stock
and that other heirs received
their share.
The suit charged that bank
stock from Garland's father's
estate was sold to Kirkpatrick
at $300 a share, to keep it in
local hands. The father, Sam
uel M. Garland, had asked in
his will that the stock stay in
local control. The younger Gar
land and Kirkpatrick were ex
ecutors. The suit said that three years
later the stock was resold to
Transamerica Corp., which now
controls the bank, for $1,300 a
share. Kirkpatrick was then
chairman of the Lebanon bank
directors.
Garland said his sisters re
ceived a settlement from the re
sale profit but that he did not.
Man Attempts
Jump Off Dam
Las Vegas, Nev., Jan. 31 (U.PJ
Jake P. Jaramillo, 30, Oxnard,
Calif., was held in protective
custody after he tried to jump
700 feet to certain death from
the top of Hoover Dam, the
highest dam in the world.
He was lodged in the Clark
County jail after six park serv
ice rangers wrestled with him
in a successful effort to prevent
Jaramillo from leaping off the
top of the dam onto a concrete
ramp 700 feet below on which
the Hoover dam power genera
tors are located.
During the struggle one rang
er narrowly missed being shoved
off the top of the dam. Rangers
found it necessary to put Jara
millo in leg irons to subdue
him.
Sheriff's Captain L. L. Payton
said Jaramillo was a parolee
from New Mexico, having served
a term on a murder charge.
struction job will be finished.
By their figures, Kassel's
225,000 population had 65,146
family living units with 190,300
rooms before it was attacked
They say the war destroyed 59
752 units with 173,173 rooms.
By "destroyed" they mean unin
habitable.
