Indian Chief in Frock Coat Got To H ea rt of White Men Madison, Wis.-(UPD - Chief Oshkosh went to battle in a frock coat and a high hat, and , he won more than Sitting ' Bull and Geronimo with all their war-whoops. Oshkosh of the Menominees go to the heart of the white man without a knive. His vic- tories and lessons have help Ted Wisconsin tribe become : one of the richest and most independent in the nation. There was the time he mocked an 1831 land-grab ; treaty with his ironic sense "of humor. Oshkosh, who was "less than five feet tall, deck ed himself out in a ridiculous outfit high hat, frock coat, moccasins, buckskin vest and breeches. His braided hair hung down on each side of his faoe. In this get-up, he went about his business in the white settlement which now bears his nasne Oshkosh, Wis.

DARTLETT ST. Phone: SP 3-3664 Crow Wing River near St. Paul, Minn., in 1844. The little chief again put on the white man's clothes and went to Washington, D.C., to plead the tribe's case. He told President Fillmore of the land already lost by the Menominees. In 1815, he said, the tribe owned most of the land which is now the state of Wisconsin. It extend ed North to Escanaba, Mich. ("Escanaba" means as far as we go" in Menonminee.) Oshkosh then told the Presi dent how his tribe had been prevailed on . to sell half a million acres to Eastern In dians at one-half cent an acre, and another half million acres to the government for five cents an acre. The Treaty of 1831 cost them thousands of acres more at 17 cents an acre. -President Agrees President Fillmore, touch ed by the chiefs story, agreed that Menominees should not be forced to move to Min nesota. Instead they were as signed 365 square miles of land along the Wolf and Oconto Rivers. No white man wanted the land at the time all it had on it was timber so the tribe moved onto their reservation in 1854. Chief Oshkosh. led his 2,002 people to their new home and saw hem through several hard winters before his death in 1858. Under their new Chief Neo pit, the tribe began to realize the wealth of the timber. The Menominees "rice people" became timber people. Tim ber gave the maple sugar and building ; material, both of which they found highly marketable.' - s Fought . Thieves The tribe fought timber thieves and the powerful tim ber lobby in Washington the way Chief Oshkosh had taught them. Sen. Robert La Follette "Old Bob" was their champion in Congress. The Menominees have held their land and timber through the years. They now rank sec ond in wealth only to oil land tribes. : : The 1959 Wisconsin Legis lature, gave them still great er' stature by accepting the tribal land as the state's 72nd county. Machinery was set up to protect their property and to let the tribe govern itself after Federal control ends on Dec. 30, 1960. All of which is a tribute to a small, brown man in a top hat named Oshkosh. Two Leap From Bay Bridges San Francisco - (UPD - Two persons leaped to their deaths from San Francisco's bridges Sunday and a third was re strained at the railing in a suicide attempt. Mrs. Madeline Pera, 41, of San Francisco, jumped from the Golden Gate Bridge at 8:05 a.m. She was out for a drive with her husband and her brother, when she com plained of a nosebleed. When they stopped the car, she ran to the railing and jumped. Theodore Vanderhoof, 31, of Niles, leaped to his death from the Bay Bridge four hours later. Witnesses said he stop ped his car in the westbound lane, walked to the side, and plunged over the edge. At 7:15 p.m., Miss Rose Houch, 35, a Napa State Hos pital patient, leaped from her sister's car on the Bay Bridge and ran to the railing. She was pulled back by other motorists as she prepared to jump. ' Authorities said Miss Houch was committed to Napa after making previous attempts to jump from both bridges. Her sister was returning her to the hospital after a week end visit. Willy Brandt's Son Finds Dad's Job as West Berlin Mayor Dull Norway Voters Like Liquor Sales Oslo, Norway -(UPD- Teeto talers took a terrible licking in the plebiscite Monday on the issue of whether sales of wine and spirits should be allowed in 18 Norwegian cities. In none of the six cities with existing liquor sales did the teetotalers win a majority to demand the branch shops of the state owned wine monop oly closed. In only two of twelve other cities were they able to prevent the opening of liquor stores where such did not exist before. Berlin (UPD Seven-year-old Lars Brandt keeps saying to his father, "Dad, why don't you get a good job?" By most standards, Willy Brandt has a good job. At the age of 45 he is mayor of West Berlin and perhaps the sec ond best-known German alive today. But it's a standing joke in the Brandt family that Lars should ' compare his father's job with those of his play mates' fathers and find it wanting. Other fathers get home from work at 5 or 6 p.m. But city business, meetings and speeches keep Brandt going most nights until long after Lars and his brother, Peter, 11, are in bed. Weekends are rarely an ex ception. Vacation Ended . Lars was convinced he was right when the Brandt family tried to take a vacation in Bavaria this summer. They left July 21. Four days later, Brandt flew back to Berlin to greet U.S. Secretary of State Christian Herter. He return ed to Bavaria July 26 only to have to fly to Geneva July 30 to confer with the Western foreign ministers. The cartoonist for the West Berlin newspapr "Morgen ppst" sympathized with Lars. He showed Brandt's pretty wife, Rut, sitting alone at a table with a photograph of Willy opposite her. "A waiter is saying to her; "Mrs. Brandt, when will your husband get another hour's vacation?" Almost to a man, West Ber lin's 2,200,000 people are glad Brandt doesn't take his son's advice. They know he- is just what this international hot spot needs. In the words of a recent visitor, former U. S. Secretary of State James F. Byrnes, Brandt is "intelligent, coura geous, sincere and strong." Don't Attract Voters , Those are qualities to be sought in any office holder but they are not necessarily the ones that attract voters. For those who want other qualities, Brandt has them, too. He is one of the best ora tors in Germany today. For a German orator, he is some thing of a rarity. He gets to the point fast, sticks to it and then sits down without tiring himself or his audience. He avoids the high-sounding cliches that German poli ticians love. . He also is photogenic, hai a good TV and radio person ality, dresses well and can compete with any American office-seeker as a hand-shaker. In the last West Berlin elec tion last December, all this added up to an absolute ma jority of 52.1 per cent of the votes for the Brandt-led So cial Democrats. . They routed the Commu nists who had hoped to tra.de in on fears that the Western Allies would be forced out of the city through the Soviet proposal to make West Berlin a so-called free, demilitarized city. The Communists got 1.9 Family J n Cookbook 17 k o6Ction .fesi o .

Coming this Sunday ; with your MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE per cent of the votes. They did not get even one seat in the city parliament. : Didn't Try Too Hard Actually, the Christian Democrats and Free Demo crats did not try too hard to defeat Brandt. They, too, hope Brandt never takes his son's advice while the city is under Communist pressure. They know that isolated, threatened Berlin needs a symbol around which the city can rally. They know they have no man to fill Brandt's shoes. As a symbol, Brandt often is compared to the late Ernst Reuter, mayor of West Ber lin d u r i n g the 1948-1949 blockade. Actually, Brandt is even more of a symbol to Berlinrs than Reuter was, although he would be the first to deny it. For Brandt considers himself a student and follower of Ber lin's great mayor. It was Reu ter who brought Brandt into politics when Brandt return ed to Germany from a self imposed exile to keep out of a Nazi jail. . - But Reuter shared the spot light as a symbol. He was ac claimed by Berliners along with such -Western Allied leaders as Gen. , Lucius D. Clay, American military gov ernor. ' 1 " ' Sit in Bonn "? But, now, the Clays have given way to ambassadors who sit in the West German capi tal of Bonn not in Berlin. And the- ambassadors and their Berlin representatives do not have the freedom of action and decision that Clay had or that Clay exercised. : - Berliners therefore have turned to their mayor and he has not let them down. When Soviet Premier Niki ta Khrushchev announced his Berlin plan last November, Brandt turned' it down flat without waiting for word from Washington, Paris, Lon don or Bonn. "We are not going to be cooked over a slow fire," he said.

MAIL TRtBUNJE, Medfori, Of. Tuesday, Oct. 13, 1959 Portland School Board Brings Suit Portland (UPD The Portland School board has announced a friendly test suit involving a question as to whether school districts can reimburse em ployees for expenses on trips outside Oregon. The suit follows the trip to Chicago last week of Portland Schools Superintendent J. W. Edwards. He was asked to at tend a meeting of superinten dents by the board. Attorney General Robert Y. Thornton recently announced an opinion holding that no member of a school board or school district employee could leave the state and claim ex penses for the trip, official or otherwise.
