to the Kansas penitentiary 10 report on
the state binder Irvine plant, fayorS and
will recommend the establishment OF
such a plant at the Nebraska peniten-
tiary, already Il movement has been
launched to block such an enterprise.
Warden Beemer himself is opposed to
the establishment of the plant. The bill

Casebeer's anti-cigarctte bill passed the
house Friday morning without Il dis
senting vote. Seventy-twO votes were
