HITLER'S BIHTHLACE A horse-drawan
cart itandi in front of the unimposlng li
brary building at Braunau, Austria, which
formerly was a much visited shrine of
Naiism. 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.

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

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.
