night and spoke before mem
bers of the Medford Central

an appearance in Grants Pass

Morse urged labor to take an
interest in politics, not in a
party fight but to back candi
dates of worth and principle.
He stated that he carried the
Republican banner and intended
to remain such despite many
criticisms that he is not con
servative enough for older Re

considered the Republican party
policies to contain the right
degree of liberality.

I a breakfast this morning with
lumbermen followed by a meet
ing in Ashland with precinct
workers of that vicinity and a
meeting with Ashland Rotary
club at noon.

quarters. West Main and Grape
streets.
Medford Central Labor Coun
cil members today stated that
Morse had been endorsed by the
local council and also the Ore
gon State Federation of Labor.

Gestapo Horror Spot Saved
To Remind World of Torture
Visited Upon Belgian People
By Frank Fisher
United Press Correspondent
Breendonck Belgium (U.R)
The Germans killed more than
120 persons a month here, the
guide said as he led the way to
a courtyard where, when tor
tures had failed, the victims
were shot or hanged.
There was the gallows where
men dropped through trapdoors
so shallow that their necks
didn't break, and they Just dan
gled there, strangling slowly.
Around its base was a mass of
flowers, piled there by relatives
of the dead.
Preserved For Tourists
The Belgians are going to
preserve Breendonck. When
peace comes again, tourists will
be able to drive out from Brus
sels to this low-lying fort near
Antwerp and see just how the
Gestapo tortured its victims.
The branding Irons will be
there, and the pulley by which
men were lifted from
ground by their ankles and
dropped down in sharp Jerks for
hours, and the whipping room
and the steel rods with which
the whipping . was done, and
other torture chambers.
Breendonck is not a pretty
sight, but the Belgians intend
to keep it as a reminder after
the war when memories grow
dim that these things did hap
pen; that this was the enemy.
Nothing Subtle
There was nothing subtle
about the methods of the Ges
tapo torturers, nothing fancy.
When they burned a body with
hot irons, they heated the irons
in a little stove within a few
feet of where the victim lay
strapped on a table, Just as they
did in the middle ages.
Most of them withstood that.
Then came the next room,
where the naked victims were
hoisted by the heels to the ceil
ing, then dropped two feet at
a time. This lasted two or three
hours, up and down, until the
head swelled like a balloon and
blood ran out of the ears, mouth
and nose.
One cell contained nothing
but an air pump with a vent out
side. In the wall was a hole
through which the Germans
forced gas. If the victim was
strong enough, he could pump
in fresh air and keep himself
alive for a while. The weak died
quickly.
Hot, Cold Treatment
The hot and cold treatment
was there. Naked victims were
confined to a small room, into
which was forced a draft of hot
air, then cold.
The Germans played varia
tions on this theme. One major
in charge would order the pa
triots to strip, then march to
shower baths capable of hand
ling a dozen men at a time. The
others waited outside, often in
knee-deep snow, without a stitch
of clothing, and after the shower
went back across the courtyard,
still naked, to the cells.
Only the dead found peaco at
Breendonck. The gestapo had a
simple method of making sure
that the victims didn't rest. The
walls of the cells, a bare six
feet square, were whitewashed.
If one mark of white showed on
the clothing, a prisoner was
beaten. So the men and worn on
stood upright for 12 hours at a
time.
The Belgians are not a toler
ant people; at least, not yet. The
same cells now are occupied by
Quislings. The only thing omit-
the ted 'rom the program is the tor
ture. But the Quislings don't
know that. They are as careful
about the whitewash as any Bel
gian was.
From markings on the wall
where the patriots indicated the
passage of the days, it seemed
that one had lived a: long as
20 days. One had scribbled:
"Marcel Bouchard Mort Pour
La Patrie."

KILLS BUCK NEAR
TOLO TOWNSITE
Mrs. J. L. Williams. 1304
Reddy avenue, accompanied heri
husband on a hunting trip this'
morning and surprised both her
self and him by killing a deer.;
The Williams have been going j
out early every morning this
week dn quick trips to nearby
spots where deer might be found,
and while Mr. Wililams had tak
en a few shots, his luck had been
poor. This morning Mrs. Wil
liams spoted a fine two-point
buck and taking careful aim
with her rifle, shot the animal
squarely through the head.
"I wasn't a bit nervous at the
time," Mrs. Williams reported
to a friend, "but afterwards I
shook like I had the ague!"
Needless to say. Mills was Mrs.
Williams' first deer.
The animal was shot in the
Tolo district, Mrs. Williams hav
ing spotted tho deer while hik
ing on a side hill about a mile
north of the former town-site.
She quoted hunters as saying
that the deer are being found
unusually close in for this early
in the fall.
