THURSDAY, JANUARY 30:1 1953 HERALD AND "NEWS. KtAMATH FALLS. OREGON PAGE THREE Hitler's Rise To Power Recalled On Anniversary BERLIN (ff-Twenty-five years ago today, Adolf Hitler and the Nazi party took power in Ger many and the "Thousand Year Reich" was born. The thousand years ended 12; years later atter World War 11, the murder of six million Jews, the division of Germany and the spread of Russian power. "Today after 25 years one pon ders again and again whether the Hitler catastrophe was avoid able," Socialist Sen. Paul Hertz wrote in one West Berlin paper. "One asks whether readiness at the right time to resist and sacri fice could have headed off the catastrophe." On the night of Jan. 30, 1933, more than 150.000 enthusiastic Germans packed Berlin's Wil helmplatz in front of the Reich Chancellery. A cadenced roar swelled up: "We want to see our Fuehrer! We want to see our Fuehrer!" The roar became a hysterical scream when a tense figure in a dark suit appeared, right hand up raised and a lock of hair plastered over his forehead. This was Adolf Hitler, 43,,ex-Austrian house paint er, former army corporal, and now the new chancellor and mas ter of Germany. ' From 7 p.m. until 1 a.m. legions "of jubilant Nazis marched past the chancellery balconv, chanting "Heil Hitler." The Nazi Brown Chicago Cops, Cohen 'Chat' CHICAGO Wl Chicago police met West Coast hoodlum Mickey Cohen as he arrived at Midway Airport yesterday and asked him downtown for a "chat." No charges were filed against Cohen, police said, and he went to police headquarters "of his own volition." "We just brought him in for a that," Police Lt. Maurice Higgins said, "and we plan to keep him under surveillance during his stay here." - Cohen, an ex-convict and a big time West Coast gambler, told po lice he was in Chicago for three or four days of personal business. He is no stranger to Chicago police. Last May,- he wrote Police Com missioner Timothy J. O'Connor, complaining about special treat ment the said Chicago police were giving him. "Instead of wasting the valuable time of your men in watching me, may I make a suggestion," he wrote. "I will send you a daily itinerary of my goings and com ings, etc., and if you wish I will call your office very hour to in form you to my whereabouts." Two police squad cars waited for Cohen at the airport. When he emerged from the airliner be hind about 35 passengers, three detectives met him. The police escort apparently had nothing to do with a Hollywood night club brawl earlier in which Cohen tangled with a waiter. The waiter, Arthur M. Black, 30, said he was knocked to the floor and beaten. He signed a bat tery complaint against Cohen and two John Does. Cohen denied, to Chicago news men that he beat the waiter. '' "Nothing to it," he said. "Ab solutely not." Shirts went nut to clash .with Com munist strung arm squads patrol ling the workers' districts. Hundreds of thousands of anti- Nazi Berliners staved at home that nisht. But abolt a million of their fellow citizens turned out to see and cheer as the Nazis tri umphantly paraded through the Brandenburg Gate, with drums rolling, trumpets sounding and flaming torches held high. At a darkened window in the old chancellery, not far from Hit ler's balcony, a sick, aged man silently watched. He was field .Marshal Paul von Hindenburg, president of Germany. A few hours earlier the elder statesman and national hero had handed over the chancellorship to Hitler. Now he stood there won dering what the future held for his beloved Germany. Von Hindenburg, only three days before, had reassured an army friend: "You do not expect me to call this Austrian corporal to the chancellorship?" Twice Von Hindenburg had spurned Hitler's bid for control although the National Socialists had become the most powerful single political party in the land. It was only after caretaker cab inets headed by Franz von Papen and Gen. Kurt von Schleicher col lapsed in quick succession that Hindenburg was persuaded to em power a coalition cabinet headed by the man he despised. Hitler. Only four days after becoming chancellor, crying for "new living space in the East," Hitler set out on the road to World War II. For the ex-house painter the road led to what is now a rubble covered field in Soviet-run East Berlin. In the closing days of the war, as the Russians thrust into the heart of Berlin, Hitler and his new bride, Eva Braun, committed suicide in the big air raid bunker behind the chancellery. Their bod ies were carried outside in blan kets, soaked with gasoline and burnt. There today remain the ruins of the Fuehrer's air raid bunker, jut ting up like some prehistoric relic. The Russians have blown up Hitler's chancellery and carted away, the marble to decorate their embassy in East Berlin. But along the edge of the field, where Hitler was cremated, red benches have been set up. Here Germans come to sit, and think mi doubt about what happened there on Wilhelm platz 25 years ago today. Airport Hangar Razed By Flames CHICAGO IB-Flames 150 feet hifh swept through a Midway Air port hangar yesterday, destroying six small airplanes and causine damages estimated at $350,000. Firemen said the blaze may have started aft- a gas tank in one of the airplanes exploded. Oil was also stored in the hangar. GOOD POTATO NEWS RIVERHEAD. N.Y!.

School Heads Suicide 'EW YORK 1.41 Top school of ficials say a junior high school principal may have killed himself because a grand juror threatened him with indictment. The foreman of the jury denies the charge. The accusation came yesterday at funeral services for George Goldfarb, 55. principal of Brook lyn's John Marshall Junior High School. On Tuesday, Goldfarb leaped from the roof of his apartment house at the time he was to make his third appearance before the Brooklyn grand jury. The panel is probing crime and juvenile de linquency in the public schools. Charles H. Silver, president of the City Board of Education, told newsmen at Goldfarb's last rites that the school principal had been threatened with indictment and "this probably caused him to take his life. He was very worried." As School Supt. William Jansen listened and nodded approval Sil ver said: "Several hours, before Mr. Goldfarb appeared before the grand jury last Thursday (for the second lime) he came before the Board of Education. "In discussing with us his grand jury interrogation, he said that a juror had warned him he might be. or could be, indicted." No indication was given on what charge Goldfarb could have-been indicted. Grand jury foreman A. George Golden immediately issued a de nial, terming Silver's statement "a deliberate lie'." . adding that Silver "made that up out of his own mind to befuddle the public."
