Last week I mentioned the fact that I had been trying to find the word genocide in our oflicc word books and couldn't do so Well, ever since the mail has been pouring in to inform me that the writers have had no trouble finding the term in their books I shall straightaway go down and demand a new dictionary, A card in the mail from frank and Ruth Adams who are cur rently in Alamos, Sonora, Mexico, enjoying a stay with our friend there, the genial innkeeper AI Gor don and his charming wife, Dar ky. A pretty short card but they gaid they were enjoying a fine time and I assume that the sun is shining, the cool pool is a wel come thing in midaflernoon and the doves are still raising a merry racket at daylight. I suppose the same old buzzards are still nerched on the tower of the church, the same donkeys nibbling grass in the plaza and the same cop keeping a sleepy eye on things. It's a nice place to be about this time of year. Dropped in on Ralph Phillips the other day over at his gunshop next to the fire station. He dragged out the latest cut-down gun he had made for a fan. The type used on the program Want ed, Dead or Alive. This one is much like the one pictured in the paper a few months back and which Phillips also made. This one is made up on a Winchester Model 92 action and is a beautiful job if you go for that sort of thing. Amazing thing about it is that it is going to a fellow who lives in St. Paul, Minnesota. Seems he was out here traveling for his firm, saw the picture of the first gun In our paper and ordered one made up on his own action. My, niy, how the word does spread.

Printing Week By FLORENCE JENKINS Last week was Printing Week. Benjamin Franklin, patron saint of the printing industry, was born at Boston 254 years ago on Janu ary 17. For 15 years, a nationwide ob scrvance of the anniversary of his birth has been spearheaded by members of the printing industry The purposes of Printing Week are well stated by the sponsor ing organization of Philadelphia, the city Benjamin Franklin called home: "Promote the skills and versa tility of the various Graphic Arts crafts. "Excite Ihc interest of all mem bers of the industry in an ever improving cycle of quality and performance. , "Seek to interest talented, quali fied young people in the career and employment advantages that the industry has to ofler. "Impress on the public at large the impact of the Graphic Arts industry on the community as a vital cultural and economic force." Oregon's observance honored an outstanding typographer this year Paul O. Giescy, who has won na tional recognition for 50 years of work in typography, was a special guest at the Printing Week ban uuet at Portland. The banquet is sponsored each year by Oregon Printing Industry Inc., of which Glen Cruson is sec retary manager and which includes nearly all of the commercial print ing employers in the slate: the Portland Club of Printing House of Craftsmen, and various other allied groups in the City of Roses. It has been our privilege of know ing Paul Giescy for some 20 years. The strides he has made in Im proving standards of excellence in printing are unquestioned. To our mind, however, Mr. Gies ey's contributions to his chosen field have more signilicanco be cause of ths man's personal con tacts. The number of beginner print ers he has encouraged and helped during their early days in the in dustry is legion. New printing and lithography firms have been established in Portland and become outstandingly successful because of his assistance. His aid to the neophytes was usually a combina- lion of cold, hard' cash coupled with grutf words of advice. Be- cause of his example of hard work in an exacting craft, he has never been an easy task-master, But we never knew a youngster in the business who would dare let Paul Giescy down. 'Hie Mglilcr Side By DICK WEST WASHINGTON (UPIl-The way I sec it, the lolks in St. Joseph, Mo., ought to get up a posse and the folks in Sacramento, Calif, ought to get up a posse. Then I hey ought to shoot it out at high noon. That would settle the matter ac cording to the code of the West and lend an air of authenticity to the 100th anniversary of the Pony Express. The idea of a two-city, six-gun duel came to me as I was check- ng into a dispute that has devel oped 'over plans for celebrating I he Pony Express centennial this year. As I get it, the folks in St. Joe arc sore because the Post Office Department picked Sacramento as the place to issue a special stamp commemorating the first Pony Express ride. St. Joe claims the department picked the wrong city. Further more, they claim the department picked the wrong date. I must have seen 100 cowboy movies and TV shows with Pony Express riders leaping on and off horses and galloping, galloping over the plains, mail bags swing ing from the saddle. . But I didn't know until I looked t up that the first ride originated at St. Joe on April 3, ltttiO, and that the last delivery arrived at Sacramento on Nov. 20, 1861. History would seem to support St. Joe's contention that the stamp should be-issued there next April 3. But postal officials con tend there are valid reasons for pulling it out in Sacramento on July 10. It seems thjt sponsors of some of the centennial celebrations fear they wouldn't draw much of a crowd in April. They would rath er wait until July when the sum mcr tourist season is in full swing. Besides that, a feature of the centennial will be a recnactment of the Pony Express ride. The planners figure the weather in those parts is a little too chilly m April for modern horsemen By way of appeasement, the de partment has decided to issue a commemorative stamped enve lope at St. Joe. But the St. Joe folks consider this a poor substi tute for a special stamp. Rep V. R. Hull Jr. ID-Mo.), who is carrying the ball for them here, intends to lay the matter before Congress. I hesitate to take sides, which is why I would like to see the dispute settled in the traditional way on a dusty street with drawn revolvers. And if Postmaster General Ar thur E.

Last spring the West proposed an interim agreement in which an Allied troop reduction in Berlin and a curb on anti-Communist propa ganda broadcasts would be con sidered in return for Soviet agree ment to preserve the status quo between West Berlin and Commu nist East Berlin. West German Chancellor Konrad Adenauer now has vetoed that plan and the United States, Britain and France have failed to come up with a substitute. The task of persuad ing Adenauer to yield on the is sue may fall to President Eisen hower when he meets the Chancel lor early in March. Kalian Hods By PHIL NEWSOM UPI Foreign Editor From the foreign editor's note book: Italy's big Communist Party will give a loud sendotf to Presi dent of the Republic Giovanni Gronchi when he leaves for Mos cow next week. The Italian Com munist Party Congress starts on Jan. 30 and winds up the day Gronchi leaves for Russia on an official visit, Feb. 5. Claiming al most two million card carriers, the Italian Communist Party is I he largest outside the Iron and Bamboo curtains, and second only to the ruling Christian Democrats as a political force in Italy. It has been losing membership and prestige, however, and party boss Palmiro Togliatti is expected to use Gronchi's Moscow visit as a springboard for an attempt to restore party fortunes. He will stress that Gronchi is going not a partisan head of govern ment, but as a representative of all Italians including the Reds Vah'iif hies By HAL BOYLE NEW YORK (AP) Things a columnist might never know if he didn't open his mail: Some 500 million Valentine cards will be sold next month, and wom en will buy more than men.

Jacques Massu, darling of the rebellious French settlers in Algeria, he served stern notice that there would be no change in his "liberal" policy to ward Algeria and his promise of eventual self-determination. Last week, De Gaulle remarked to a vicitor, "you can even send para troops to the Elysee (his official Paris residence), that will change nothing." De Gaulle has a radio- TV address scheduled for Jan. 29, and in it is expected to reiterate his "self-determination" policy and his assurance to French set tiers that they will not be "sold out." But he is expected to have little success persuading the colo nisls who once more are saying it is only a choice between "the suitcase and the coffin" mean ing get out or die. The Western Allies , still have Itull M.iikct By SAM DAWSON AP Business News Analyst NEW YORK (AP) The stock market has been turning a deaf car of late to good business news. And as usual, when the price av erages stumble, Wall Street is wondering out loud if the bull market is finally at or near its end. And if so, what was it that did the bull in? The talk was rife after stock prices had hit their - peak last Aug. 3 and then taken a long slide. But a year-end rally brought them back, and all seemed well again. Then much of the zip went out of the market. The Dow Jones industrial av erage started January at a rec ord high of 686. After 15 trading days this month it closed Friday at 646, down 40 points in the three weeks. The Associated Press 'price in dex of 60 stocks fell in 10 of the 15 trading days. A modest' rally at the end of last week gave cour age to the optimists who think the fall is leveling off, or may even be reversing itself. But the drop in the index for the month was eight points. The news has been mostly good: corporate earnings up and W60 profit prospects even better, div idend payment? increasing, indus trial production rising, retail trade on the upswing. Why, then, have investors been keeping their money in the bank, or taking it out of the market by selling their stocks? Some caution that .both the rise and the fall of the market in re cent months has been largely selective individual companies or industries getting the trader's at tention rather than the stock list as a whole. But others point out some spe cific factors that might be affect ing investors' judgments. Bond yields have risen so high tliey are more attractive as in come than stock dividends. This particularly appeals to the big investors, like the pension funds, or educational and financial in stitutions. It also appeals to those who live on tixed incomes. President Eisenhower's plans for a balanced budget and his stressing of the need to stave off further inflation may have led some investors to lose interest in stocks as a hedge against a fur uicr innauon mat may never come.

Master ber- geant Richard Bugdalle walked into the courtroom flankea Dy (wo policemen he looked normal enough. Dressed in a dark business suit, with a trim black mustache and swept-back dark hair, he didn't look like one of Hitler's most old-blooded butchers. Only his eyes gave him away. "He looks almost like a gentle man today, but his eyes are the same just like a wild and crazed animal," a witness said. Bugdalle was sentenced last week after only three days pro ceedings to 16 times life imprison ment at hard labor. Evidence in those three days was enough to brand him a sordid murderer. What- turned Bugdalle, born the son of a respectable working-class family, into a torturer, killer and sadist? The most simple explanation was given by a court doctor who said: 'Bugdalle is an untalented, lim ited and primitive man. The roots of his atrocities can be found in his sudden change from a nobody to a man with power who felt himself bigger than harmless pris oners." Bugdalle was born Sept. 11 1907, in Pommscn, Saxony. His father Wilhelm and mother Emma both worked in factories. After smuggling through school he be came a wheelwright's apprentice at 12. As in school, his limited intel ligence prevented him from learn ing a great deal. In 1931, when Germany's eco nomic crisis was at its worst, Bugdalle became one of the thou sands of unemployed. Nine months later he joined the National Socialist Party, and the Nazi S.S. Elite Guard. In 1037, Bugdalle was posted, in his new rank as S.S. Sergeant, to guard duty in the Sachsen- hausen Concentration camp. There he became, as trial wit nesses unanimously testified, "the most dreaded guard of them all." What Bugdalle did to earn that title went into trial records as one of the most brutal records of atrocities ever committed in the name of the Nazi sense of per verted justice. He beat, whipped and kicked prisoners to death, suffocated 15 at a time in a broom closet, shot and hung them and tortured and froze them to death. Despite his limited intelligence, Bugdalle was clever enough to keep out of the hands of the war crimes courts. By some means he became an American prisoner of war and in 1946 was released as a non commissioned officer in the 4th Infantry Regiment. Until 1948 he worked as laborer for the U.S. Army and from 1948 until his arrest December, 1957, lived and worked in Munich under his own name with a floor manufacturer and a railroad goods car maker. Police said he managed to live so long undiscovered because for mer Sachsenhausen prisoners knew him only by his nicknames. "Brutalle," "Brutalla," or "Bug dalla." It was a man of one of these three names for whom police searched, not knowing they were only nicknames. The University of Illinois has conferred advanced degrees since 1680. ...
