TBN MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE Sunday. April , 1945 Two more German prisoners of war from the Camp White stockade have found the "great outdoors" hereabouts much greater than they had anticipat ed and hungry, cold, disillusion ed and docile have been herded back to meditate upon the error of their way. Hermann Dirr, 21, and Her mann Goebel, 25, latest to flee the camp, were returned Friday after having been apprehended 32 miles east of Crescent City. Departing the night of March 26, with Mexico as their destination, the pair subsisted on peanuts for seven days and had nothng at all to eat for four daysj they told their captors. First making for the Table Rock district, the fugitives had followed Rogue river toward the coast. Keeping off roads during the daytime and sleping in barns or in the woods at night, their progress was slow. They had nlnnnorl in subsist on fish from the river but found the matter of catching them beyond their ability. A P Hnmiltnn nf Ashland notified authorities in Crescent City Friday that he had passed mpn opai'lnff rtrmv over coats and acting suspiciously near Idlewild in Del Norte coun ty. Officer F. Plaisted, Sheriff Austin Huffman and Captain Etgar Huiiman oi me siaie hiffhwnv nntrnl left tn invest!- oain lind snnn found the Ger mans who seemed relieved that their hardships of the open road were over. Notified of the capture by the California officers, Captain Leo-, pold E. Fritze, director of secur ity and Intelligence at Camp White, returned the prisoners to the stockade Friday. Although around half a dozen Germans have attempted escape from Camp White none enjoyed freedom more than a few days. Dirr and Goebel being out the longest and probably covering the greatest distance.

FEDERAL BUILDING EXPANSION NEED El A press report last week from Washington, D. C, which quoted Sen. Guy Cordon of Oregon as saying that careful consideration will be given needs for a n e w federal office building in Med ford, has caused considerable speculation here. Cordon was said to have been Informed by the postoffice de partment that it would make a survey of postwar federal hous ing requirements In Medford and if it finds new buildings neded they will be included In any postwar building program submitted-to congress. Postmaster Frank DeSouza re vealed Saturday that he had re ceived a questionnaire calling for data for consideration In pos sible plans for a new federal building or for alteration or ex tension to the present structure. City and other officials and chamber of commerce heads here have felt for some time that a more centrally located site should be chosen for a new post office building and that the pres ent building should be used ex clusively for federal offices. In this connection it has been point ed out that the structure, al though enlarged a few years ago, has again become inadequate for the growing community and that the entire space could well be utilized by government agencies other than the postal service. Just what brought about the renewed interest of the post office department in the local needs as evidenced in the Cor don dispatch could not be learn ed through available sources here.
