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.
