TEW MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE Friday, December 10, 1954 eappeaMce of Jack-Booted- lowdies im West Germany: apses lw I Berlin (U.R) The jack-booted Irowdies and Jew baiters of the fiazi era have made a sinister Reappearance in West Berlin. Their activities in the recent Election campaign recalled the fcloody election battles of 1932 when Adolf Hitler's "Brown ihirts" bludgeoned their way to power in the most lawless period Kf German history, piscovery Shocking Vest Berliners, who . regard themselves as the most freedom- loving and democratic of the German people, are shocked to discover the would-be storm troopers still among them. i The biggest shock came at a German Party" election rally When spectators who refused to king "Deutschland Ueber Alles' were dragged from their seats, favagely beaten and denounced as "Jewish swine. "You seemed to have escaped the gas chamber," party officials jeered at them, familiar Garb t The party officials were wear- Ing jack boots, tight-fitting rid ing breeches, field grey shirts and black ties. - The incident at the rally aroused an immediate outcry and resulted in an overwhelm ing vote of censure in the West Berlin city parliament. Trade iinions, student groups and Jew ish associations joined in con demning the ugly manifestation tof Nazi feeling. i The "German Party" is an ex tremist nationalist group. Its of ficials said the incident had been 'exaggerated" and was "pro- Voked by outside elements." "Not Isolated Incident I But it was not an isolated in cident. There have been many (others in recent months. J Allied officials are inclined to Jninimize the importance of the jright-wing fanatics and describe (their activities as "isolated inci dents." But West Berliners who Saw the same thing happen more .than 20 years ago are worried. Tennessee Governor Levels Blast At N ixon, Dixon-Yates Contract Washington "U.R) Tennes-1 see Gov. Frank Clement said to day the names "Nixon, Dixon and Yates" ought to be linked because they "represent a low ering of the American standard of public morals." - Clement made a combined at tack on Vice-President Richard M. Nixon and the . Dixon-Yates power contract in an address prepared for delivery to the Na tional Press Club. Similarity Claimed ' "There is more than euphony to unite Nixon, Dixon and Yates," Clement said. "There is a distinct similarity between the methods that have been employ ed in the Dixon-Yates deal and the Nixon campaigning methods in the recent congresisonal elec tions. "They both represent a lower ing of the American standard of public morals." Clement, mentioned as a Dem ocratic vice-presidential hopeful in 1956, said Nixon "without proof" impugned the loyalty of Sen. James E. Murray (D-Mont.), in the fall political campaign. He said Nixon in a speech at Butte, Mont., quoted a "purport ed secret memorandum" from the Communist party directing its leaders to "achieve unity be hind single candidates, in Demo cratic primaries." He said Nixon throughout the country "spearheaded the false hood that Democrats ruled under 20 years of treason and that the government was riddled with security risks." Clement, a staunch advocate of the government-owned Ten nessee Valley Authority power system, described the Dixon Yates contract as "a dose of poison to the American political anatomy" which could lead to "an early death for TVA." Under the contract, the Dixon Yates private power combine would transmit power from a West Memphis, Ark., plant into the TVA system to replace an equal amount of power TVA now furnishes to the atomic energy installation at Paducah, Ky.

NICHOLS United Press Feature Writer T t Washington U.R What's Siew in Washington: ! The American Legion here lias a corp of chaplains. Among the chaplains are Rabbi Mor ris Sandhaus, a Jew, and Fa ther E. A. Mc Donough, a Catholic, and the director. The last time it rained, Fa ther McDon ough suddenly ! Harmon Nichols discovered that - he was with out a raincoat. He also discov ered he had somehow misplaced ll of his credit cards to down jown stores. ; ' ' ' I So he sought out his friend, the rabbi. Would he lend the !good father one of his cards? The rabbi would1 and did. i McDonough selected and .bought a very conservative little !anti-drip coat and presented the Irabbi's credit card. .The clerk 'looked at the card, listened to a brogue you couldn't cut with a deleaver, and noted the proper jiabit of the priest. , Said the clerk: ' : "Father, I'll take your word 'for it." First paragraph: "The by-laws of the Commu nist party of the Soviet Union demand that a Communist be truthful and honest toward the party and permit no conceal ment or- distortion of the truth, Untruthfulness of a Communist toward the party and deceiving of the party constitutes a most grievous offense and can not be reconciled with remaining in the party ranks." ; A paper is being circulated around the State department and ;elsewhere which is supposed to .have been filched from behind 'the Iron Curtain. It is labeled "Stop lying." Douglas McKay,- Secretary of the Interior, told this one at a dinner meeting of the National Watershed convention: Seems an old farmer in Ore gon came to town and told his doctor . his hearing was ailing. The doc, looked him- oyer and asked him what, he had been drinking, and whatever the liquid was to please stop it. The next spring, the farmer passed the doctor on the street and didn't even say "Howdy." The medico grabbed the farmer and learned that in the interim the man had become stone deaf. The doctor penned a note and hand ed it to the farmer. It said. "I told you to stop drinking. Why didn't you?" "Well, sir," said the man . of the soil, snapping his galluses, "I like what I have been drink ing better than what I have been hearing."
