It was here that on April 20, 1889, Adolf Hitler was born. His birthplace bears no plaque and there are no signs directing tourists toward It. During World War II, on his birthday, the house was decked with flowers and banners. (UPI Telephoto) People in Hitler's Birthplace Avoid Mentioning of His Name Braunau. Austria - (DPD Ask about famous native sons in this pleasant Austrian border town and they may tell you about Franz Gruber who composed the immortal Christmas carol "Silent Nieht." They may also mention Hans Stainingcr, who sup posedly had the world's long est beard, or Johann Fhllllpp Palm, a bookseller who was executed for publishing a pamphlet attacking Napoleon. But there's one most of the resident! would rather not talk about. His birthplace bears no plaque and there are no signs directing tourists toward it. His name was Adolf Hitler. When Hitler waa at the height of his power, Braunau was a shrine of Nazism and visitors trooped by the thousands to the house where he waa born.' Goose-stepping Storm Troopers paraded past it on Nazi holidays. Mow Public Library V.Tpday the building Ii a pub o library and there is noth ing to mark the second floor room where the Third Reich's future leader was born into the family ot an Austrian customs official on April 20, 1889. ; During birthday observ ances beor World War II the house was decked with lowers and Nazi banners. April 20 passes unnoticed now, but on holidays an Aus trian flag waves from each side of the library entrance. The caretaker, Johann Knetzlsdorfer, said, "There is nothing connected with Hitler in this place - no furniture, not even toys." Knew Him Ai Boy : Pressed further, the old man said reluctantly, "I knew him when he was a boy. We went to school together, al though I was two years older. "I knew his parents, too," he added, "but they moved away to Llnz when he was eight years old." Then he changed the subject quickly. Braunau, a city of 17,000 about two hours driving time south of Munich, Germany, has considerably more pride in being the birthplace of Franz Gruber, although al most nothing Is known of his early Hie. He had none of Hitler's ambition. His great loves In life were music and his fami ly, and he lived unobtrusively as a school teacher, organist and choir leader. Born in Braunau In 1787, he Inter moved to the village of Oberndorf where he col laborated with a priest, the Rev. Joseph Mohr, in writing a carol for a local Christmas observance. The carol, for which Grub er composed the music and Mohr wrote the words, was "Silent Night." Beloved Character Braunau's history goes back far beyond either ef Its two most famous sons, however. Its massive church was com pleted in the year that Colum bus discovered America and its most beloved local char acter was a lord mayor of 430 years ago who reputedly own ed the world's longest beard Several statues of the mayor, Hans Staininger, still adorn the town's parks, but the length of the famous whiskers was left to the imagi nation of the sculptors, be cause no measurements were kept. They were long enough, ac cording to legend, that he had to fold them up to keep them from dragging the ground, and they were eventually his undoing. A fire broke out one day, the story relates, and Stain inger ran from his house with beard trailing. He tripped over it, fell and was killed instantly. MAIt, TKIIUNI, Msdlsnl, Or.

Lack of Loving Attention Said Possible Cause of Alcoholism is., j y-aT ii'i Del os bmlUi By DELOB SMITH -UPI Science Editor New York -IUPD- During the first 10 years of their lives It low-down alcoholics got &:mme.vm much less lov ing attention from their parents than 19 habitually sober men got from their parents. - The parents of the alco- coholics play ed with their sons less than the parents of the non-alcoholics, and they indulged in fewer displays of affection. They were less inclined to impose restraints, thereby failing to show a loving in terest. And in other ways, they made themselves seem different from other parents. Regardless of how much or how little this has to do with the cause of the disease, alco holism, Drs. G. R. Pascal and W. O. Jenkins were able to separate the alcoholics from the non-alcoholics by these differences alone. Sludy Real Alcoholics To be sure they were study ing real alcoholics, they took 19 inmates of the Knox Coun ty (Tennessee) Workhouse. All were serving sentences for public drunkenness and each had been arrested at least five times before for other of fenses. These 19 common street drunks they "matched1' with 19 men who had unblemished reputations for sobriety, the matches were made by age, education, I.Q., and vocation al skills (or lack of. them). All 38 men had the common environmental background of Knoxville and environs. Psychological investigators of the University of Tennes- see, where Pascal and Jenkins are members of tne faculty went to work on them. All 38 were "scored" by what they got from their parents In the way of loving interest - lov ing interest which a child could recognize. Regular Church Attendance When the time came to make- something of these scores, Pascal and Jenkins were able to pick out the scores of the alcoholics on the basis of scores alone since they had no idea of which score belonged to which man. Both parents of each alco holic scored low, comparative ly, in active play with their son, in displays of affection, in restraints, in doing what other parents did. The meas urement of the latter was reg ular church attendance. In eastern Tennessee that is an PURE PHOSPHORUS New York-IUPD-The Ameri can Agricultural uo. is pro ducing ultra-pure phosphorus worth approximately $100 an ounce to be used in semi-conductors for high temperature electronics systems. London - The Volga is the longest river in Europe with a course of 2,400 miles. accented norm. The mothers of the alco holics scored low in frequency of contact with them when they were kids and the fathers scored low in imposing pun ishment for childish delin quencies. Scores for contacts from father and punishment by mother didn't differ signifi cantly from those of the fath ers and mothers of the boys who grew up into sober men, Animal Behavior Similar Pascal and Jenkins were conservative in making some thing of these suggestive con trasts in their report to the Yale University Center Jor Studies on Alcoholism. The alcoholics had been deprived during the first 10 years of their lives, and it was interest ing tht experimental animals who are deprived in infancy also exhibit strange behavior as adults. Their contribution to some kind of understanding of the causes of alcoholism repre sented the approach of the be havioral sciences. They ac knowledged there were other scientific approaches which produce suggestive leads, too. They said they did not believe their findings applied only to alcoholics. "Preliminary studies with duodenal ulcer patients and psychotics of the same socio economic class as our alco holics, using the same pro cedures, indicate that early stimulus deprivation made by pervasive across several kinds of behavorial deviancies," they added.
