Attorney General Brown
Says Probe Is Through

"There is only one statement am
ready to make. This is that when get
through with my investigation of the
penitentiary the job will be done as
thoroughly as it is possible for NE to
do it.'
That was the only comment Attorney
General Brown cared to make today rel.
ative to his investigation Of the peni-
Tertiary parole scandal
He has the investigation under way
and is being assisted by District Attor-
ney Walter H. Evans of Multnomah
county, District Attorney Gale S. Hill
of Linn and District Attorney Max Gehl
har Of Marion.
These officials are at the prison to-
day quizzing convicts who might be alb
le to shed some light ON the reports that
certain employees and officials connected
with the prison have been forcing con,
victs to pay them money on the pre-
tense that it would aid them in obatin-
ing paroles or pardons from Governor
Withycombe.
pluCe JHt NJ y. lTNlH case came u
light, precipitating the investigation
various other cases Of somewhat SINH
lar nature have been reported and are
being investigated.
II has come to light that a convict
by the name of Bud Stubler wrote a
letter to Parole Officer Joe Keller in
which parole and the payment of
money were linked together. Suspicion
was directed toward Keller as soon as
the Irwin case was made public.
stubler in his letter says he has been
before the parole board twice and fail
ed to get parole.
II am perfectly willing that you
should be appointed my guardian to look
after me,' Stubler's letter to Keller
then said in substance. "The $100 will
be ready for you in 80 days"
Stu Ter has been paroled.

America entered the war and probably
never will understand. Its one of the
first questions they ask when they find
an American who will speak to them.
No amount of explaining enlightens
the German Officers, to whom fighting
for a principle seems absolutely impos-

Germans, high and low, counted on

German-speaking doughboy sticks them
with bayonet in fight, German sol

Americans as anything but German. In
their conversation they speak of them
as "Germans in America" and when
you deny there are any Germans in
America, except those interned, they
