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

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.
