UPI Telephoto Race Tension Ease Seen Legacy Of Hitler Studied ITERALD AND NEWS. Klamath Falls. Oregon Thursday, July 18. 1963 PAGE 1-C MUNICH. Germany UPI I Adolf Hitler's artistic legacy is the object of a "treasure hunt" in the chilly cellars of the former Nazi party's national headquarters. The heir to the treasure the West German Government is still undecided what to do with the 3,700 paintings, drawings, prints, sculptures and old books and coins which Hitler and his top aide, Hermann Goering, amassed for themselves and the glory of the Third Reich. Only Chancellor Konrad Aden auer has suggested a solution. He proposed to exhibit the ob jects in Bonn, but this has found little support from his ministers. Treasury Minister Werner Dol linger. who is directly responsible for the art collection, said art experts conduct the "treasure hunt" to separate the valuable from the worthless. "We will probably make the valuable objects available to the public." he said. Dollinger referred to nearly 800 paintings considered valuable by the treasury, including works by Kembrandt, Raphael, Boticclli Rubens, Titian, Wattcau and Cra- iiach the elder. A treasury spokesman said the paintings might be exhibited as a group in West German art gal leries or be distributed as loans to museums. Some 200 less valuable paint ings are destined for "represen tative purposes," the spokesman said, and may wind up decora ting embassies and government ofliies. What causes all the headaches for the art inspectors, however, is a section of some 700 "blut und bodon" i blood and soil I paintings by Nazi artists patron ized by Hitler and Goering. The West German government has obviously no interest in pub licizing these works or the many mediocre paintings by minor 19tii Century Germans who struck a response in Hitler. Some business-minded art deal ers who investigated the collec tion have boasted they could make an extra 4,008 marks ($1,0001 on even the poorest ob-! jects if souvenir hunters could be assured they once belonged to Hitler. This is exactly what the gov ernment wants to avoid. To sound out the market for "blut und boden" paintings and other mediocre art, the govern ment has made some test sales without mentioning where the pieces came from, the spokes man said. Tentative plans call for grad ual and inconspicuous transfer of the paintings to art dealers. Many of tile paintings first have to be restored, however, be cause they suffered in the post- war period when they passed through countless hands before arriving in the basement of the' former Nazi party headquarters. I The upper stories of the build ing now house the Bavarian State Gallery. But the Nazi collections lie in racks, row upon row, next to other Third Reich remnants such as Hitler's 10-foot long writ ing desk which he never used. The cellar collection was trans ferred to the treasury Jan. 1 of this year by the expiring Trustee Center for Artistic Property, it self a successor organization of the Allied Central Collection Agency, which w as created in 19-15 to round up and return works of art illegally confiscated bv tile Nazis.

Demurrer Filed In Freeman Case SALEM (UPD-A demurrer to the appeal of convicted child slay er Jeannace June Freeman was filed Tuesday in Marion County Circuit Court. The demurrer questions if there is sufficient legal evidence to war rant a post-conviction trial of-the murder case. It was filed by -As sistant Atty. Geo. Coins Marsters. Miss Freeman had been sched uled to become the first woman to die in Oregon's gas chamber, but her Aug. 1 execution date was stayed when her attorneys filed the post-conviction suit. If Marion County Circuit Judge George Jones sustains the demur rer the post-conviction case would be dismissed. Should the demurrer be turned down, arguments on the post con viction appeal would be heard later. Post - conviction proceedings were instituted in Oregon to pro vide a hearing for convicts who claim they haven't been given a fair trial or that their legal rights have been abused.

By AL KL'ETTNER United Press International There appears to be a slight if temporary easing of tension on the racial demonstration front de spite flareups at Charleston, S.C., and Savannah, Ga. There was no cause for op timism yet but these develop ments were encouraging: A 24-hour truce was called in Cambridge, Md., after days of demonstration that had put the area under limited martial law. Despite widespread continu ing acts of vandalism from a fringe group, major demonstra tions appeared to have eased off at Savannah, Ga., one of the Dixie tinderboxes. A local leader of the Na tional Association for the Advance ment of Colored People (NAACP) called for a 60-day moratorium on racial demonstrations in Co lumbus, Ga. Negroes apparently were playing a wait-and-see game in Jackson, Miss. Negroes postponed for one week a scheduled demonstration for better job opportunities and New Approach Underway On Teaching Of English A revolutionary new approach to the teaching of English gram- Awards Contract The Southern Pacific Railroad announced the award of a con tract for about $7' 2 million to the Gundeison Brothers Engineer ing Corp., of Portland, for con struction of 750 new flatcars, as part of an expanded, multi-million dollar program to meet the freight car requirements of in dustries in Oregon. The award is the second to Hie Portland firm this year by SP, which only last January or dered 400 cars for approximately $4 million, making a total of 1,150 flatcars at about $ll'i million. E. C. Ordway, traffic manager for Southern Pacific at Portland also announced that SP is con verting this year 750 standard, single - door box cars to wide door design, especially for ship ments of plywood and packaged lumber. "Our stepped-up order for flat cars represents a significant con tribution by Southern Pacific to the economy of the state of Oregon, both in dollar volume and in use of Oregon materials (and manpower,'.' Ordway assert ed. This is the largest rail equip ment order ever awarded to an Oregon company, he pointed out. "The flatcars will not only be built here," he continued, "they toselhcr with the new wide- rlrtor I'ars will hp nlarpd in serv ..... , irp here as nail of our continu ing effort to provide Oregon in dustries the special kinds of equipment they need to move products of this state to mar ket." Some 1.350.000 board feet of Oregon lumber will be used in the construction of the flatcars. which measure 53j feet long and are capable of handling 70 tons of freight, including shipments of lumber and unitized loads o.' plywood and roll paper. The converted wide-door cars for plywood and packaged lum ber loading, to be turned out un der SP's own car upgrading pro gram, arc 40 feet long and are being equipped with doors 10 feet wide to provide the door open ing large enough for plywood shippers and otliers who employ mechanical loading and unload ing techniques. The 750 converted cars, togeth er with 1.300 king-sized, hydra cushion models being delivered this summer and fall, will in crease SP's fleet of wide or double-door cars, long the nation s largest. Ordway said, to more than 20.000 cars. Nearly all of the 1.300 larger cars, which are suited for paper products, canned goods and olher cargo loading, are 60 Icet long and equipped with double doors Nine hundred of these cars will be insulated and each is lined with more plywood than used in the construction of an average icw home today. mar is among the subjects under discussion during the first Ore gon Curriculum Study Center Summer Institute at the Univer sity of Oregon. Thirty junior high school teach ers from various communities in Oregon make up the institute, which is the first formal step in Project English, the half-million- dollar project aimed at reassess ing and rewriting the curriculum in English language, literature, and written and oral composi tion for grades seven through 12. The national, five-year project is being supported by a grant from the U.S. Office of Educa tion and is headed by Dr. Albert R. Kizhaber. professor of Eng lish. The project was estab lished almost a year ago with the first months devoted to ad ministrative and preparatory work. The current institute is being held during the regular Universi ty Summer Session which ends Aug. 9. In addition to the grammar class, the teachers are attending regular morning lectures on ap plied criticism and written and oral discourse. The classes are designed to acquaint teachers, who will be teaching the new curriculum in pilot classes, with the latest in formation in their field so they can handle the material "with real confidence and competence," according to Dr. Kitzhabcr. The course on grammar is be ing conducted by Dr. Wayne A. O'Ncil. assistant professor of English. It is called "transforma tional grammar" and is based on .the theories of Dr. Noam Chomsky of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology who lec lured on the Oregon campus last spring. equal booking of persons arrested in East St. Louis, III. Seek Financial Security The respite coincided with for mation of a group in New York which hopes to raise $1.5 million this summer to finance the cam paigns of six leading civil rights groups. The thinking of the group was that financial security might slow down the aggressiveness of the integration groups, What does it all mean? A prominent Negro leader put it this way: "Don't read too much into what has happened. It is largely coincidence that there was an easing off in several places at one. time. But it is true that Negro groups are in a period now of re-assessing th situation." A spokesman for Dr. Martin Luther King's Southern Christian Leadership Conference 'SCLCi. one of the more militant of the racial organizations, said there definitely was no spirit of "re treat" on the part of SCLC. The NAACP, one of the domi nant leaders in the racial field, recently has taken a double route on strategy. It has encouraged direct demonstrations and at the same time has taken one of the strongest stands against violence. The NAACP spoke forcefully against the trouble in Savannah. where its organization was in competition for leadership with King's "non-violent" group. A top NAACP spokesman in New York said a rule of thumb for the current racial picture is to "treat each situation individu ally." "A lot depends on tlie white posture in each separate situa tion," he said. "We are willing to discuss and negotiate as long as it is useail. Responsible or ganizations want to win objec tives, not trouble. Unless the hot heads take over, we can have peace so long as there is a wi lingnetf to negotiate. "One main reason for these surges of demonstrations is that the Negroes mainly the young adults have pretty much lost faith in the white power struc ture in these communities to de liver on their promises. "The older adults are often willing to be a little more patient than the younger Negroes but then they get embarrassed when the business and political leaders fail to live up to promises. "Unless we can gel some negotiations in good faith, I don't know where this is going to end because that is the thing that produces these huge unruly demonstrations." p,, 1, Store closed Friday morning until u vftv f SALE STARTS AT 12:00 NOON 19 ..-fMfeJ ii yV KAf V I ,.... .
