EIGHT MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE Wednesday, April 3. 1957 Rudolf Hess, Still In Jail, Continues To Worship Hitler Berlin (U.R) Aged, hag gard Rudolph Hess probably is the only German alive today who still openly acknowledges the leadership of Adolf Hitler. In his cell at four-power Span dau prison, Hess harangues him self on the glories of the dead fuehrer and his own role as Hit ler's deputy. Science Prodigy Wins Another $64,000 on TV New York (U.R) Science prodigy Robert Srom won his second $64,000 on a TV quiz show Tuesday night and will start out after a third next week. The 10-year-old television quiz whiz brought his winnings to $128,000 by putting his knowl edge of physics, math, electricity and astronomical spectrometry to use in answering a four-part question. Since program rules allow a contestant to try for four jack pots. Strom can win as much as $256,000 on CBS-TV's "The $64, 000 Question." Each time he vins $64,000, the win is outright and can not be prejudiced by future answers. Cmdr. Edward Peary Stafford, a Navy pilot from Washington, D.C., appeared briefly on the program to announce that he will try to answer his $64,000 question on the show next week. Stafford, who did not participate this, week because of time limita tions, Is competing in the field of "American literature." On the musical quiz, "Name That Tune," also over CBS-TV, another boy, Albert Strangler, 14, and former welterweight boxer Billy Graham won $10, 000. Graham, West Islip, N.Y., and Stangler, New York City, appearing as a team, return next week to move on to the third round of the $25,000 "gold en medley marathon." Portland Meeting Honors Oregonians; 'Flag Flies High' Portland (U.R) Portland, "Boston of the West," pointed with pride at its illustrious citi zens yesterday and viewed with alarm the charges of certain con gressmen that it is a city of sin and iniquity. Some 850 persons gathered at a luncheon in the Hollywood dis trict to honor Portlanders and Oregonians who have brought national distinction, of an honor able sort, to their motherland Called the unkindest cut of all was the remark of Sen. Karl Mundt (R-N.D.) that Portlanders should fly their flags at half mast in. shame. Replied Mrs. America, Cleo Maletis of Portland, "Our flag flies high. It always has and it always will." "We know full well what we have in Oregon." she declared. "We were settled by homestead ers looking for a place to rear their families." The luncheon crowd broke into applause when Mayor Ter ry Schrunk took his seat at the head table next to Mrs. America. Schrunk was on the witness stand before the Senate Rackets Committee in Washington when Sen. Mundt made his flag-flying remark. Grange Notes Sams Valley Grange Sams Valley Grange held the last regular meeting Saturday night, March 23. Master Albert Strauss complimented the agri culture and legislative commit tees on their reports. Lester James reported the Sams vauey Area Soil Conservation district had acquired a dump truck for the use of the farmers of the district. The truck is quartered at his farm and onyone wishing to use it should contact him. A small rental fee is charged. During the lecturer's program Miss Doreen Straus discussed her trip through Mexico. Miss Colleen Hope of Med ford is giving a series of dance instruction classes at Sams Val ley Grange hall. Most basic steps are being taught. The second in the series of six lessons will be hel Saturday night, April 6. There is no age limit and a small . fee is charged per family unit. The next regular Grange meeting will be Saturday night, April 27. Sometimes, carried away by emotion, he sings the Horst Wes-; sel song and attempts to goose- j step in a cell 10 feet long and j six feet wide. Prisoner Since 1941 He has been a prisoner since May, 1941, when he made his mysterious flight to Scotland without Hitler's knowledge to give Britain peace terms. Now 62, he will end his days in a prison or in a madhouse. The four-power Nurnberg mil itary tribunal sentenced him to life for crimes against world peace and planning and starting a war of aggression. Hess has aged far beyond his years. His features are haggard, his eyes sunken under beetle brows. In his grey prison uni form he has the appearance of a bony-looking scarecrow. Of the four prisoners still left in the West Berlin prison, Hess is by far the most difficult. Complains Bitterly He complains bitterly of poor health, alleging heart, stomach and kidney ailments. Once he worked regularly in the prison laundry, but now the four-power guards can get him to do little work. Of all the garden patches in the prison courtyard, his is the most untidy, although once he took pride in his cabbages. Some think Hess is insane, but most observers at Spandau think he probably only is eccen tric. Except for his Nazi outbursts and occasional shouts of "Heil Hitler," Hess speaks little to anyone. He appears to live in a world of his own. He steadfastly refuses to at tend religious services in a cell converted into a chapel and he does not allow his family to visit him. Of the seven top Nazis sen tenced to serve their terms in Spandau in 1946, only four are left. All Alone They are all alone in a prison 1 built for 550 prisoners. Their guard ranges from about 100 . soldiers when the Americans have the rotating prison chair manship, to some 180 when the Soviets have the chair. The Un ited States, Britain, Franch and Soviets take turns providing the guard. The Soviets have put out feelers on closing down the pris on, and putting Hess in a hos pital and the others in another jail. But such a step does not ap pear to be imminent. In the prison along with Hess are Nazi youth leader Baldur Von Schirach, who is serving a 20-year term; munitions boss Al bert Speer, 20 years; and Fin ance Minister Walther Funk, life. Admiral Karl Doenitz was re leased last year after serving a 10-year term. Earlier, Admiral Erich Raeder and Foreign Min ister Konstantin von Neurath were released because of age and poor health. The straw-colored German cockroach and the long black Oriental cockroach have spread from their original homes to all parts of the world. A Florida species, having recently got the urge to move, has migrated as far north as Canada, westward to the Rocky Mountains, and southward into Central America. Briefs From State Legislature Salem (U.R) The Senate passed Senate bills 192 and 193, to enable individuals and cor porations to spread a loss in in come in any one year over the next five years, rather than re quiring them, as under present law, to take the loss in one year. Sen. Lee Ohmart, Salem Re publican, said the measure might cost the state $1 million in revenues at first but would bring about equity for the tax payers and benefit the state as a wnoie in the Jong run. Salem (U.R) By a vote of 4 to 3, the Senate Elections Com mittee approved a resolution calling for a Legislature com posed of 31 senators and 61 rep resentatives. Republicans favored the pro posal and Democrats opposed it. If passed and signed by the gov-, ernor, voters would decide on Such a Legislature would avoid deadlocks such as the pres ent 15-15 tie in the Senate be tween Republicans and Demo crats. ' . Salem (U.R) A bill to allow boat fishing on reservoirs formed by power projects in the North Umpqua river above Winchester dam has been passed by the Senate and sent to the House. Present law bans boat fishing there. Under the measure, the State Game Commission would be allowed to regulate boat fish ing in the area.
