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

be allowed to regulate boat fish
ing in the area.
