Vol 19, No 44 The County Seat Paper NEVADA CITY, CALIFORNIA The Gold Center ; MONDAY, JUNE 4, 1945 _ GERMANY A CRIMINAL NATION By EDW. C. UREN Germany has proven to the world that ag a nation she is a splotch on the map of the civilized world. From mow on, in order to safeguard ,what remaing of enlightened humanity: it will be necessary to police this country just as we do our most hardened criminals. Without honor even in the first world war, she was unashamed to discard a treaty as a ‘“‘mere scrap of paper’’ when it suited her convenjence to break it. In this war she has disregarded all the conventions of civilized warfare to treat human beings worse than dogs, yes, far worse than dogs, for who ever heard of even a savage starving and beating his dogs to death. We used to look with abhorrence on pictures showing Dantes conception of hell’s inferno. But Dante should have lived until 1945 when he could have seen some real hell on a wholesale scale; of human beings murdered and cremated, their clothing and belongongs, even to children’s dolls, sorted out as in a massive bargain sale for the world’s chosen Aryans to pick over. , Dante should have _ seen what Life’s reporter, Sidney Olson, saw at Dechau prison camp. Here he counted 39 gondola cars on _assiding entering the camp, each ,stacked like. corded wood with the naked emaciated and whip marked_bodies of slaves who have been beaten, worked no more. starved and until thes spirit could take racked with) remorse and shame, who lived near-. by, told the reporter that these cars. had laid on the siding for four days and that the victims had moaned and and night and day until death relieved them. We can hardly place beasts the same class with people. who would do these things, for God never put breath into any beast that had such savagery. We think the Japs . are barbarians, but the nazis are worse. They are the devil’s brew of asdism. Both are imbued with the idea that anyone they can conquer is unworthy of any role but slavery. of what earthly use is it to make any treaty or sign any agreement with such beings? In the role of robber Germany is in a class by herself for our army has found in the castle of the former king Ludwig, near Munich, “some 21,000 rare paintings; tapestries and jewels, worth at least 200 million dollars which have been stolen from the French, the Poles‘and the Russians. They are seeking another eache which may contain even greater loot. It. will take years to return them to their rightful owners. The look of hatred and brutality stamped upon the faces of the socalled Hitler youth and the female overseers of prison camps, who were said to be even worse than the men, fg enough to show us that this element will have to be ruled with an jron hand for many years to come. The German people as a whole seem never to be satisfied unless they are goose stepping to some war monger. They are happiest when then can wear a uniform and either order some one eise around or click their heels in obedience to a superjor. ; William Schlamm, writing in Life, says that practically every German broods over his own pet ideas as to how the rest of the world should be run. Then, along comes Hitler, sym. bol of hatred. As devoid of humor as! is the desert of green grass. He nev. er knew how to smile. His best efA German Civilian, in Rainfall at Downieville 62.16 Inches DOWINIEVILLE, June 4——Ag the month of May passes, the automatic rain gauge at the Downieville ranger station, records 5.83 inches of rain fell during the month, with 1.18-~inches falling within two hours during a local thunder storm the afternoon of Tuesday, May 29. The seasonal total to date, is 62.16 inches, against 44.42 inches recorded ‘this date last year, fire assistant Nelson reports that the recent © lightning storm of May 29, brought the first fire to the Downieville district, in the head of Ben Polly Ravine, opposite the county hospital. The fire was reported by James E. Newcomb, from his residence in the north end of Downieville. Fire prevention officer Clarence T. Johnson, suppression foreman Raymond N. Pratt, and Frank G'askill went to the fire and found the lightning had hit and set afire a large dead tree. : They. are all good Germans, although they express no regret for the mags murders and butchery that has been exposed but are sore as hell at Hitler and his gand because they didn’t succeed, To change the nature of these people; to bring them down to-earth and destroy the delusion: that they are a superior race entitled to ride rough shode over the rest of humanity is a task that is almost impossible without dividing the country up and giving They will never be satisfied with republican form of government. That was tried after world war when Elbert was dent, to be followed by Hindenburg, who died in 1924 after Hitler, chancellor, had given a one been almost ing Hindenlburg a mere figurehead. Democracy had had its test for 14 years, but the Germans couldn't take it; it was too tame for them. thinking for them—sorhe. one to tell them just 'what to do and when do it. Organized murder of those who wanted to change Germany into a country different from that envisaged by the Junkers was carried out incessantly after the defeat they suffered in 1918. The republic had too to nived in every way to scuttle it. Erzberger, who signed the 1918 armistice, Rotherman, (Stressman,_ all prominent Germans who were sincere in seeking to create a new Germany were assassinated ‘by the military ruffans who make up the nazi ‘party. The allied nations must see to: it are punished as they deserve. After the last war they were _ foolishly turned over to the German _ civil courts for prosecution—some 890 of them. Six were .convicted, out of which two were allowed to escape and the other four soon released. One writer has made a good suggestion and a most sensible one. It is to weed out all nazis and keep them away from home for at least five years in rebuilding what they have destroyed in other countries. In this way the decent citizens of Germany may be able to place her once more in’ the ranks of civilized nations. Let us just ponder a few moments td think of what this human devil and his cohorts have done to it piecemeal to the; -nations they have-raped. BOMBER CRASH KILLS FOUR .

The flash of the explosion was seen from many parts of Grass Val-; ley, in fact a number of spectators . witnessed it close at hand. In a mat-. ter of minutes a huge throng had gathered, all the fire forces of Grass Valley, the State Division of Forestry from Nevada City, and scores ‘pines. Air force officers and ground crews arrived on the scene from MecClelland Field and military police from Camp Beale. The first crowds were gradually pushed back from the explosion area in order to give an investigating board, which visited the charred area yesterday, an opportunity to gather such evidense as remained after souvenr hunters had carried away many bits of the debris. McClelland Field ambulances gathered up the battered bodies of the flyers. Albert Richards, whose house was last hit before the explosion said: “T had just taken an armful of groceries out of the car, when the plane hit. You can see what’s left of the car pointing to the burned and smashed vehicle. We had just taken my wife, dn invalid, out of the east ‘bedroom to the sleeping porch, a few hours ago. A briek carried from the neighbor’s chimney next door smashed through her bedroom window and scattered glass through the room ghe had just vacated. ” . man, .

William Durbrow of Grass Valley, vice chairman, presented the committe’s report. The committe’s report states ‘‘that . the question of state aid to local. gov;ernments has provoked much con. troversy in the present session of ithe legislature and there appearg to ‘be a need for a better understandjing of this problem. There are some 4500 local governments in Califor,nia and sthey derive most of their direct tax support from property taxes aggregating $315,000,000 a year. . This local tax rtvenue is supplemented out of state tax revenues to the extent of some $200,000,000 a year. In fact 61 per cent of the proposed state budget consists of aid to local governments, Despite this apparently generous amount of state. aid there appears to be need for addi‘tional financial assistance to supplement property tax revenue. Various subsidy proposals are pending before the legislature, including in\ereased aid for schools, local building construction, flood control, old age pensions, county roads, etc. Our —committee proposes to give this suba great deal of study in the next year and we hope to develop some recommendations pointing to a proper solution to the problem.” The tax committee also recomfended that the state chamber oppose legislation in congress appropriating $300,000,000 to assist in the support of public education and that it urge control of public schools be left in the hands of the states. Another recommendation made by the tax committee was-that the state chamber urge the legislature to restrict the passage of special appropriation bills to those of the most essential character and that stepe ibe taken to conserve the state’s surplus for necessary purposes. President Elks Association is Speaker Stephen A. Compas, president of the California Elks Association was a guest of the Grass Valley Lodge of Elks Wednesday night. He wag in‘troduced by Exalted Ruler Ray Pengelly. ‘Compas was chairman of the California War Commission and he gave an inspiring address on the work the Elks of the state in caring and aiding returned war veterans.’ In the Sixth War Loan Drive president Compas set a state quota for the “IT should like to know what came of my canaries, The aviary stood about here.

His . ravings were of such scope that they dneluded all the brooding ideas of the masses and so they rallied to his banner like flies to carrion, and in August, 1933 he polled more than 93 per cent of the vote.

Customers, where local war price and rationing boards aided them, were given refunds totaling $54,429 57. A total of 1757 customers obtained refunds where the local board did not exercise the administrator's claim. A customer must act within 30 days of the overcharge, else the OPA will press action in behalf. of the United States treasury. Baird explained. Sale of used cars at over ceilings topped the violations where purchasers obtained a refund. Four hundred and eighty seven customers received $216,978.56 back from 482 dealers. The treasury was paid $3,840.22 by 78 car dealers.

They stayed at Bret Harte Inn, and were royally entertained by Grass Valley and Nevada City individuals and groups; Whenever they have had leave they come back, usually in planes, to salute the citizens, sometimes at low flying levels. , As yesterday's accident is reconstructed, it is ‘believed that the bomiber group kilied yesterday, had taken out a plane equipped with a new engine at McClelland Field for a trial flight. They had come to Grass Valley, passed over the city, went on.to Town Talk, where the John Beckers live, and where they had. paid $23,547,28. B.

In a mat-. ter of minutes a huge throng had gathered, all the fire forces of Grass Valley, the State Division of Forestry from Nevada City, and scores ‘pines. Air force officers and ground crews arrived on the scene from MecClelland Field and military police from Camp Beale. The first crowds were gradually pushed back from the explosion area in order to give an investigating board, which visited the charred area yesterday, an opportunity to gather such evidense as remained after souvenr hunters had carried away many bits of the debris. McClelland Field ambulances gathered up the battered bodies of the flyers. Albert Richards, whose house was last hit before the explosion said: “T had just taken an armful of groceries out of the car, when the plane hit. You can see what’s left of the car pointing to the burned and smashed vehicle. We had just taken my wife, dn invalid, out of the east ‘bedroom to the sleeping porch, a few hours ago. A briek carried from the neighbor’s chimney next door smashed through her bedroom window and scattered glass through the room ghe had just vacated. ” . man, .

William Durbrow of Grass Valley, vice chairman, presented the committe’s report. The committe’s report states ‘‘that . the question of state aid to local. gov;ernments has provoked much con. troversy in the present session of ithe legislature and there appearg to ‘be a need for a better understandjing of this problem. There are some 4500 local governments in Califor,nia and sthey derive most of their direct tax support from property taxes aggregating $315,000,000 a year. . This local tax rtvenue is supplemented out of state tax revenues to the extent of some $200,000,000 a year. In fact 61 per cent of the proposed state budget consists of aid to local governments, Despite this apparently generous amount of state. aid there appears to be need for addi‘tional financial assistance to supplement property tax revenue. Various subsidy proposals are pending before the legislature, including in\ereased aid for schools, local building construction, flood control, old age pensions, county roads, etc. Our —committee proposes to give this suba great deal of study in the next year and we hope to develop some recommendations pointing to a proper solution to the problem.” The tax committee also recomfended that the state chamber oppose legislation in congress appropriating $300,000,000 to assist in the support of public education and that it urge control of public schools be left in the hands of the states. Another recommendation made by the tax committee was-that the state chamber urge the legislature to restrict the passage of special appropriation bills to those of the most essential character and that stepe ibe taken to conserve the state’s surplus for necessary purposes.

He wag in‘troduced by Exalted Ruler Ray Pengelly. ‘Compas was chairman of the California War Commission and he gave an inspiring address on the work the Elks of the state in caring and aiding returned war veterans.’ In the Sixth War Loan Drive president Compas set a state quota for the “IT should like to know what came of my canaries, The aviary stood about here.

Customers, where local war price and rationing boards aided them, were given refunds totaling $54,429 57. A total of 1757 customers obtained refunds where the local board did not exercise the administrator's claim. A customer must act within 30 days of the overcharge, else the OPA will press action in behalf. of the United States treasury. Baird explained. Sale of used cars at over ceilings topped the violations where purchasers obtained a refund. Four hundred and eighty seven customers received $216,978.56 back from 482 dealers. The treasury was paid $3,840.22 by 78 car dealers.

They stayed at Bret Harte Inn, and were royally entertained by Grass Valley and Nevada City individuals and groups; Whenever they have had leave they come back, usually in planes, to salute the citizens, sometimes at low flying levels. , As yesterday's accident is reconstructed, it is ‘believed that the bomiber group kilied yesterday, had taken out a plane equipped with a new engine at McClelland Field for a trial flight.
