Legacy Of Hitler Studied

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.

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.

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

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."
