Only a Wall Remains Now Of Hitler's Bavarian Retreat
Berchtesgaden, Germany—(U.P.)—One wall is all that remains of Adolph Hitler's famous Bavarian mountain-top hideaway, the Berghof
That, too, will crumble under a blast of dynamite soon, if a strong Alpine wind doesn't get there ahead of the German wrecking crew.
A group of American newswomen touring military installations in Germany found demolition of the Berghof (House-on-the-hill) is almost complete. The razing was ordered to keep the Germans from turning the Hitler house into a national shrine.
Four miles up, on the crest of the Obersalzberg spur, behind an "off limits" sign, the Fuchurer's famed Eagle's Nest stands intact. It is better known to Americans than Berghog, but Hitler actually spent little time in that alpine retreat. It will not be destroyed.
The dozens of tourists who daily trek up the mountainside for a last look at Berghof are mostly American servicemen on vacation in the picturesque Berchtesgaden Valley.
The one wall now standing amid the rubble of the once-formidable citadel was the most distinctive feature of the Berghof architecture. It originally spanned the 70-foot front of the Fuehrer's luxurious conference chamber. There, Hitler planned the Austrian invasion and the Munich pact.
A gaping hole is all that is left of Hitler's huge 26 by 13-foot picture window through which he gazed into Austria and dreamed of conquering the world.
The nneal wrecking operations will take place seven years after the elite SS guard troops fired the house and fled into the mountains just ahead of the allied advance at the end of World War II.

Geological Survey Begins Test Drilling
Test drilling in connection with a series of studies to be started soon on the geology and ground-water resources in Gove, Sheridan, and other northwestern Kansas counties will begin this week, according to V. C. Fishel, in charge of the ground-water division of the Federal and State Geological Surveys.
Fishel said that the drilling crew will move into Gove and Sheridan Counties first and during the summer will be in several other counties—Rawlins, Graham, Decatur, and Trego.
The drilling, he said, is a necessary part of the field work involved in these studies. Samples are collected from test holes drilled through the near-surface water-bearing materials. When examined the samples are interpreted, facts are revealed about the extent of the materials and the quality and quantity of ground water that is available to wells in the area.
The studies are a part of the current ground-water program being conducted in Kansas to determine the availability of ground water for irrigation, industrial, municipal, and domestic use.
Twelve presidents have been nominated for the job in national conventions at Chicago.
Two Professors Receive Grants
Jan Chispusso, professor of piano and Phillip M. Mitchell, assistant professor of German, have received grants from the Kansas University Endowment association to assist them in doing research projects next year.
Professor Chiapusso will make a study of Bach's education in relation to his musical technique. This study will take him to eastern urban centers to study original materials in libraries.
Professor Mitchell will leave for Denmark early in June to prepare a history of Danish literature. It will be the only work of its kind in English.
Murphy to Give Addresses
Chancellor Murphy will give commencement addresses at various high schools throughout the state this week. Tonight he will speak in Chapman and Concordia; Wednesday, McPherson; Thursday, Newton; Friday, Junction City.
