To Be
EXHUMED

CHICAGO, Aug. 2 G.N.SO.
Angered by reports that the brain
had been stolen from John Dill
fingers body while it lay in the
county morgue here, the outlaws
father, John Dillinger, sr., today
held a permit for exhumation OF
the remains.
At his home in Mooresville, Ind,
the elder Dillinger declined to say
when the exhumation would take
place, nor would he indicate what
action he planned should the
brain and vital organs be missing.
He consulted with attorneys, pre-
Sumably with a view to starting
court action.
Coroner Frank Walsh issued a
statement here in which he said
he doubted that Dillinger'S brain
had been stolen. He said special
portions of it and the vital organs
had been taken for the routine
autopsy in accordance with Gus
tom that has been followed by the

Hindenburg
Career One
OfServiice
BY Universal Service

Paul Ludwig Anton Won linden
burg, whose historians trace the
T1indenburg family tree back to
Emperor Charlemagne, was born
in 1847 in the city of Posen, in the
former German province Of the
same name which was ceded to
Poland in the Treaty of Versailles.
It is claimed that one Of the
daughters Of Charlemagne mar
ried a nobleman and that their
descendants played an important
role in Prussia's history. At the
time when Won Hindenburg was
born. his father. Robert Won Hin
denburg, was in command of a
regiment stationed in Posen.
AS a child, Paul Won linden
burg gave promise of nothing
likely to indicate future greatness.
He found his studies difficult and
q special tutor had to prod him
to keep up with his school classes
in mathematics.
In 1854, the family moved to
Glogau, Silesia, when young Pauls
father was transferred. For two
years, the boy attended the Evan
gelical Volksschule and spent two
years more at the local state gym
naSium.
Attends Cadet School
In accordance with the Hinden.
burg tradition in the military pro-
fession, it was decided in 1859 to
send young Paul to the Wahlstadt
Cadet School. The certificate he
received from the gymnasium on
entering Wahlstadt declared:
Ellis diligence. although at
first praiSewOrthy, has lately
lessened considerably. His be-
havior, outside of his tendency
to IOquacity, has been good"
What is most striking about the
12-year r-o1d boy was his tendency
to talkativeness, since in later
years he came to be known as a
silent man who disliked talkative
people.
Two aspects of the later-famous
character began early to show
themselves. One was tendency
toward economy; the other, help
fulness toward those who needed
assistance. Once his grandfather
gave him IL pfennigs. Paul bought
nothing for himself, but used the
gift for his grandmother, brother
and sister. A certain poor student
in Glogau whom he had been
helping was to receive food regu-
larly, due to arrangements Paul
made before leaving for VAIL
Stadt.
Frequently Hindenburg went
without food. The students had
to undergo privationS as part of
their training.

Austria. Then he was only 10.
Hindenburg distinguished him.
self for bravery in his first battle
and won himself the name OF
Hero of BoSSberitz."
The next four years Hinden-
burg spent in training men for
war. He developed a method for
drilling men in hand-to-hand
bayonet combat which was highly
praised by his superiors.
When the war with France
came in 1870, Hindenburg was at
first in command of bat
talon, and later became regi-
mental adjutant. He diStin-
guished himself at st. Privat and
Gravelotte, at the former escap-
ing death from a French shell.

appointed in 1871 to the War

the World War.
