Carr Rules On Tax Collections
Amendment
Triples Reservoir
don B. Johnson State Park in
Gillespie County do not have to
be made public. Opinion Af-
firmed the position of State
Parks and Wildlife Commis-
sion Chairman Will E. Odom
who has declined to disclose
sources of the park fund.- Odom
is fund trustee and receives
donations for purchase of park
land.
Attorney General concluded
that park fund administration
is not an operation of the PWC,
and that it’s up to private ad-
ministrators to decide whether
to announce names of various
donors.
Attorney General Waggoner
C arr has held that when the
county attorney in a county of
20,000 or more population wins
a suit and collects delinquent
personal property taxes, he may
deduct a commission from the
taxes. County attorney, how-
ever, must pay that commission
into the county treasury for
the officers* salary fund, Carr
held in the opinion requested
by Harris County Attorney Joe
Resweber.
In anothe'r official opinion,
Carr held that names of con-
tributors and amounts of their
donations to buy land for Lyn-
keep the medals and pendants,
and several uniforms and pis-
tols as personal mementos. He
still has them, locked away
in a back vault.
The unsuspecting captain who
Was only trying to get decent
quarters for his exhausted men
is now a lieutenant colonel with
the Army Reserves in College
Station. He retired this sum-
mer.
He said he plans to give the
whole collection to the war mu-
seum at the U. S„ Military Acad-
emy one day,
' ' '
people and the world, the Third
Reich would last a thousand
years. It lasted 12. In two days,
it would surrender uncondition-
ally.
German forces still in the
field were being routed and an-
nihilated by the massive Allied
pincers.
The 19th German Army, com-
posed mainly of Austrian ski
troops, fled in chaos northward
across the Alps. It was ground
to pieces by American units in
southern Germany and northern
Italy. There was no place to
hide.
U. S. Army Capt. Howard E.
Goldsmith Jr., now a resident
of College Station, was com-
manding Company E, 71st Infan.
try, 44th Division, 6th Army
Corps, 7th U. S. Army.
His unit had pushed into Ba-
varia and was given the task
of swinging south to track the
fleeing Nazis through the snow
and glaciers of the Alps.
Company E reached Urn-
hausen, an Austrian village that
pre-war tourist brochures used
to boast of: Fresh mountain air,
beautiful waters and breathtak-
ing views.
A long war was coming to an
end. Goldsmith’s men hadn’t re-
laxed in months. Only half his
men were needed nightly to pa-
trol the icy slopes and peaks.
The other half, deserved warm
beds, clean sheets and good
food.
“It was a chance,” Goldsmith
said, “for my men to start liv-
ing like human beings again.**
He secured five hotels in Urn-
hausen, making sure there was
a bed available for every off-
duty soldier.
AH was in order except at the
Hotel Korne, one of the larger
establishments, where there
was only one bed for every two
men.
Goldsmith, a native of Poca-
tello, Idaho, began inspecting
the three-story Krone to see
what was wrong.
The English-speaking hotel
owner, accompanying Gold-
smith, broke into a nervous
sweat as they started up to the
third floor. He tried to block
the stairs but the captain, not
a small man, brushed him aside
and went on.
The third floor rooms were
filled with trunks, suitcases and
boxes. Goldsmith told the owner
to move it all to some other
location so beds could be set up.
But the owner refused. He
said he was storing it for some
people who would be most upset
if it were touched.
Goldsmith’s eye caught a glint
of sunUght off a gold plate at
one end of a room. He looked
closer and the plate read:
“Le Louvre, Paris.”
He turned to' the owner and
the man refused to say what the
coUection of trunks and luggage
cqntained.
“I put my submachine gun un-
der his neck and asked him
again. Then he told.”
Goldsmith had stumbled upon
one, of the greatest troves of
looted treasure to be found in
the war.
At his feet were the personal
possessions, many stolen, of
Joachim von Ribbentrop, Ger-
man foreign minister.
Frau Ribbentrop had fled the
third floor retreat only hours
earlier. She carried away what
goods she could manage but
the great bulk remained.
Goldsmith quickly put a detail
of guards on thefind and notified
higher authority. Then he in-
spected the loot.
Included in the boxes were

Congressional
Delays Slow
"Head Start"
28 OZ. THROW
AWAY BTL.
Approximately 60 Head Start
programs are being held up in
five Southwestern states be-
cause of Congressional delay in
approving appropriations for
the Office of Economic Oppor-
tunity, Regional OEO Director
Bill Crook reports.
Delay, said Crook, is proving
costly in both time and money
to the agencies which had ex-
pected to correlate the pre-
school readine ss pr ogr am s with
the rgular school term. In
some cases, he stated, adminis-
trators are serving without pay,
rather than hurt the continuity
of the program.
First priority on funds al-
located to Southwest regional
office is being given to those
projects which are already in
operation in the five states.
Crook*s office in writing let-
ters to local community action
agencies and school districts,
explaining that final action can-
not be taken on their applica-
tions until Congress comes
through.
