From a United States car at the head of the procession, Gen. Stack emerged. He and Goering went to the second floor of the building to await the arrival of Maj. Gen. John E. Dahlquist, divisional commander. Aide Accompanies Goering was accompanied by his aide, Col. Berndt Brauch itsch, son of a German general.

District Attorney Clarence A Humble said today that he con. frrred with Justice of the Pracc Flovd Peters and Special Indian Officer John Arkell, and Ad vised that he wished the case referred to the FBI and federal adpnts in Portland.

The four are said to have broken a four-by-six plate glass display window early Tuesday morning, gaining entrance to the store. The loot included four cases of beer and four cases of wine. A portion of the stolen property was recovered later in the day by Deputy Sher iff Dale Mattoon who investi gated and arrested the four in volved.
