German Exchange Student Sees Good
Chance For Democracy Establishment
There is a good chance that
ripmnrracv will become Iirmiy
established in the new West
German republic if the present
economic level can be maintain'
ed and recovery progress con
tinues. This opinion was express
ed at the Tuesday luncheon meet
ing of the Medford Rotary club
hv Harold Steiler. German ex
change student now attending
Southern Oregon college.
Speaking at the Hotel Jackson,
Steiler, whose home is in Neurn
bere. warned that a serious re
cession could impel the Germans
to seek a "strong man, alinougn
more and more of his country
men are beginning to realize
that another Hitler-type leader
could not improve their lot.
Enmities Vanishing
Economic and political pres
sures developing out of the east
west rivalry are gradually ban
ishing traditional enmities be
tween the French and Germans
and encouraging greater cooper
ation and tolerance between
European nations, the speaker
told Rotarians. Most thinking
Germans also want continued
military occupation because their
police force is insufficient to
cope with the infiltration of Rus
sians certain to follow departure
of allied forces.
Those who publicize the few
conspicuous differences between
the Germans and their conquer
ors at this time are giving the
impression that Germans gen
erally are not grateful for ef
forts to re-establish German
economic and political recovery,
Steiler said.
"I am convinced that most
Germans are sincerely grateful
for the generous and effective
recovery program of the United
States and their allies," Steiler
pmnhasizeri. "A lone-ranae ef
fort to establish firmlv a feeling
of tolerance and understanding
between mv people and the west
ern world must be made. The ex
change student program is an
important step in tnis direction,
he added.
The German student discussed
some of the specific problems
now facing the German people
Although the currency reform cf
June, 1948, and a new credit
policy initiated late last year
have speeded recovery, there is
still need for the German econ
omy to convert from a raw ma
terial export basis to a finlsnca

Human Ability To
Eat Poison Probed
Washington, Jan. 18 U.R
How much insect poison can a
person eat safely?
lne food and drug administra
tion opened a public hearing on
that question today.
It is the first step in the
agency's plan to set up regula
tions banning the inter-state
shipments of fruits and vege
tables containing more than a
"safe" residue of poisonous in
secticides. The .move stems from vide-
spread use of DDT and other new
chemicals by farmers. In many
cases, the insecticide is allowed
to remain on the prdduce after
it is marketed.
There are no regulations cov
ering this now. The agency can
prohibit the shipment across
state lines of any food in which
the poison content is dangerous
ly high. The trouble with this,
a spokesman said, is that the
"danger" level varies according
to how much poison a consumer
gets from other foods.

General Motors Profits
Top All Other Companies
New York. Jan. 18 (U.R)
General Motors Corp. earned
more profits last year over
$600,000,000 than any other
company ever made in a similar
period, Alfred P. Sloan Jr.,
chairman of the board, revealed
today.
Addressing 500 leaders in in
dustry, finance and civic affairs
at a "forward from fifty" lun
cheon,' preliminary to his com
pany's annual auto show the
"Mid-Century Motorama" open
ing Thursday, Sloan termed 1949
a "satisfactory',' year for the in
dustry and for General Motors.
$13 Per Share
Last years profits, he stated,
are likely to move up to over
$600,000,000." Such a .figure is
well over $13 per share on out
standing common stock, on
which 1949 dividends totaled $8
per share. In 1948, net income
amounted to $440,447,724, or
$9.72 a common share: while
common dividends that year ag
gregated $4.50.
If we compare 1B49 with
1936," Sloan said, "we find that
the return on capital employed
rose only three percentage points.
And to accomplish this we had
to increase our sales in terms of
1949 dollars from $2,500,000,000
for 1936 to $5,500,000,000 in

Substitute For Oleo
Repeal Bill Killed
Washington, Jan. 18 (U.t)
The senate today killed a dairy
stpte substitute for the admin
istration bill to repeal federal
taxes on oleomargarine.
The vote was 48 to 37. The
substitute would have repealed
the taxes on oleo, but banned
interstate shipment and sale of
colored oleo.
Way Cleared
Defeat of the substitute ap
parently cleared the way for
passage later in the week of
the bill to repeal all oleo taxes
and permit unrestricted inter
state shipment.
It was a major victory for
senate forces which have been
pressing for repeal of the 64-year-old
federal margarine taxes.
Killed with the substitute
were provisions to repeal war
time excise tax rates. Taxes on
furs, jewelry, admissions, tele
graph and phone charges and
other items would have been re
duced by the defeated excise
tax provisions. The administra
tion plaas to seek a reduction

Securities Included
Police files list bank, mail
train and armored truck holdups
in which larger amounts were
involved. But the loot in most
of the big ."jobs" included siz
able amounts of securities, and
in many cases the valuables were
non-negotiable.
Major holdups in U. S. history
included a $2,500,000 raid on
the Lincoln, Neb., National Bank
and Trust company in Septem
ber, 1930; a $2,400,000 holdup
of a mail truck on Broadway in
New York in 1921; a daring $2,
050.000 raid on a fast mail train
at Rondout, 111., in June, 1924;
and a $2,000,000 safecracking
Job at the Rumbold safety de
posit vaults in Chicago in Janu
ary, 1945.
By comparison with big-time
robberies since the turn of the
century, Jesse James and his
gang risked their lives for pea
nuts. In his entire career of crime,
authorities estimated James stole
only a little more than $200,000.
Three Convicted
Five bandits held up the Lin
coln bank in 1930. Covering the
building with machine guns,
they forced a woman cashier to
open a vault and fled with their
huge haul of cash and securities.
Three bandits-pHoward Lee,
Thomas O'Connor and Jack
Britt later were caDturcd and
convicted, and part of the loot
was recovered.
"Little Gerald" Chapman and
two accomplices staged New
York's "great mail robbery" of
1921. They crowded the mail
truck to the curb, took four
pouches of registered mail and
sped away in a green touring
car.
The three later were caught.
The Rondout. 111., mail train
holdup was planned by James
Murray, prominent political
leader of , Chicago's "bloody
19th" ward in the prohibition
era.
Tipped by its "inside man,"
Postal Inspector William Fahy,
the gang forced the Milwaukee
road's fast mail to a halt at a
rural crossing and assaulted bar
ricaded mail cars with rifle fire
and tear gas bombs.
The gang fled in four automo
biles filled with mail sacks, but
nine men eventually were round
ed up and eight, including Fahy
and Murray, were sentenced to
prison terms.
Authorities recovered 1,247,
000 in loot and said most of the
unrecovered securities were
worthless.
Safecrackers got $2,000,000 in
securities, jewelry and cash, at
the Rumbold vaults in Chicago
on January 19, 1945, after tying
up a 73-year-old watchman.
Most of the $110,000 cash and
other valuables were found when
Gang Leaders Patsy Flaherty
and Willie Niemoth were cap
tured and handed life prison
terms. Four other bandits re
ceived lesser sentences.

Park Avenue Medic Admits
Providing Deadly Medicine
For Incurable Patients
New York, Jan. 18 U.R) A
Park avenue physician said to
day he occasionally provided in
curable patients suffering in
tense pain with large supplies of
morphine, advising them that "if
you take the whole bottle you
might not wake up."
Dr. A. L. Goldwater said he
left the morphine doses handy
at the bedside of certain patients
many times in "my 53 years of
practice."
The elderly doctor elaborated
on statements which he made
yesterday at the annual meeting
of the Euthanasia Society of
America in which he defended
the action of Dr. Hermann N.
Sander of Manchester, N. H.,
who has been indicted for miir.
der in the mercy killing of a
woman cancer patient.
"I felt I was doing the humane
thing," Goldwater said, mention
ing specifically the case of a
woman cancer patient which he
said was "similar" to the case
of Dr. Sander.
If that be murder, make the
most of it," Goldwater said at
the meeting of the Euthanasia
society. He said In making over-

Goldwater said that in treat
ing incurable cases where the
patient was near death he would
leave a week's supply of mor
phine tablets beside the patient's
bed.
He said he would tell the
patient that "if you take one tab
let it will reduce the pain, and
two will put you to sleep, and
if you take the whole bottle you
won't wake up."
"I had one patient, a woman,
who was in agony" Goldwater
said. "She required powerful in
jections two or three times a
day, administered by a nurse.
But because the nurse wasn't
handy at all times, I provided
her with additional medicine."
Goldwater said he returned to
the patient's bedside one morn
ing and found she "had passed
away but I never determined
whether she took the drugs or
not because by the time I got
there the nurse said all the medi
cines had been thrown away."
Goldwater said he made out a
death certificate attributing
death to the woman's cancerous
condition."
