United Praia Correspondent
Berlin, Mar. 1 5 flJ.R) Soviet
guards have been withdrawn
from the site of Adolf Hitler i
air raid bunker, and the place
where he committed suicide has
become a storage area for scrap
metal.
The Soviet army has blasted
the bunker to lunk and ruDDisn
The heavy upper blockhouse lies
pitched on its side. Around n
is neatlv Diled scrap metal sal
vaged from the nearby ruins of
a madman s dreams.
All the front of the great
Reichschancellery building be
side which Hitler dug his hole
has been blasted away. The
massively beautiful palace of old
Paul Hindenburg Is no more man
a head of dust and broken bricks
and stones.
Entry Forbidden
Between them In an area of
a couple of acres is the bunker
site. "Verboten" orders plastered
all about forbid anyone to enter
the area. Asked why visitors are
barred, a ragged German worK
man said, "we do not know, but
it is verboten.
Perhaps the Russians fear
there might be pilgrimages or
mourners to Hitler a suicide spot,
If so they do not believe armed
guards are warranted to prevent
it. Even if the mourners came,
the pitched blockhouse scarcely
identifies for the uninformed the
olace where Hitler died.
Or did he? The story persists
in Germany that he still lives.
A great many believed it at one
time. Now the Germans seem to
agree that he is dead. Certainly
all the evidence is to that effect.
Spirit Still Lives
But dead or not In body. Hit
ler's spirit is alive in Germany,
and becoming livelier every day.
It is the spirit of nationalism
sparked by resentment against
defeat, poverty and the self-in
vited indignity of occupation by
the armed forces of foreign pow
ers.
There are no professed "Nazis"
in Germany now. That would
be against the law. But in the
east, Russia encourages a brand
of nationalism not much differ
ent from Hitler's.
The greeting taught to chil
dren in the eastern zone of Ger
many under Russian occupation
is "be ready." When the Rus
sians established headquarters of
their German government in
Berlin, there were torchlight pa
rades, bonfires, goose-stepping
marchers in hobnailed boots all
in the old nationalistic spirit.
The Russians have dropped
all pretense of punishing or re
forming Nazi offenders. They
ended denazification in 1948,
giving small timers full citizen
ship rights. In 1949 full civil
rights were granted to all form
er Nazi party members.
Under a variety of names
Nazism is beginning to boom in
the western zone, where the
Americans, British and French
are trying to teach democracy.
"New Nit" Organised
The extremists or "new Nazis"
are organized in about one-fifth
of western Germany. Thev polled
700,000 votes In the last elec
tion, but have only five of the
402 seats in the west German
bundestag at Bonn.
There is an in-between group
of splinter parties, all Nazi or
communist fronts.
Franz Richtcr is the extremist
leader seeking to organize form
er Nazis into a powerful poli
tical force within his German
relch party. His program is to
restore Germany to her position
after September, 19H8, when the
Munich pact gave Hitler the
Sudetan area of Czechoslovakia
and by implication okayed his
seizure of Austria.
Rlchter teaches that only the
German army was defeated In
194.1, that the German nation
never was licked Hnd never will
be. His party needs a martyr
and may get one soon. His name
is Wolfgang Hcdlcr. a buncstag
member, who was acquitted last

Farmers Denied Pay
For Flood Damage
Portland. Ore.. Mar. 15 (U.Ri
A federal district court ruling
handed down yesterday denied
191 farmers almost $500,000
they sought from the United
States for damages caused by the
break-in of an Owyhee irriga
tion canal in .Inly, 1946.
Judge James A. Fee granted
small damages to the Fine Sheep
company and Ira U. Uri for their
land and crops destroyed by
floods resulting from the break
in. Judge Fee based the later de
cision on the fact that proof of
negligence was not necessary be
cause the flooding was a tres
pass. He denied the larger claim
on grounds that negligence of
the bureau of reclamation was
not proved.

Would Be Trouble
Socialist and communist bun
destag members said there would
be trouble if Hedlcr lelurncd
to take his seat. He did last
week. The chairman ruled him
out of the chamber because the
verdict had been appealed to a
higher court. He withdrew to an
anteroom.
A band of socialists found him
there, beat him badly, and threw
him out of the building. Now he
seeks to Join Richtcr. He will be
welcome.
Bavaria is a hotbed of nation
alism. It is the early source of
Hitler's strength. Bavaria has
several Nazi-like parties. They
talk in such terms ,s regaining
lost provinces and i.acting rep

American authorities are sud

dangers. High Commissioner

(U.R) Circuit Judge Ed Howell

of central Oregon residents.
Howoll was delayed in ar
