WASHINGTON, Dec. s1.-The
American farmers won't get any re-

in the White House, Senator Norris,
Nebraska, Republican, predicted to-

bloc in the Senate and chairman
of the Senate Agricultural Commit
tee.
Taking this view. the insurgent
Senator has refused to become ex-
cited or hopeful over the "revok of
the farmers" in the Middle West
and the program for farm relief pro-
posed at the Des Moines conference.
There's no use being hopeful be-
cause of the coming senatorial cleo

insanity, constantly repeating the
words bump, bump, bump; that's
the way it sounded when we

There were two motives. One,
gray-haired Mrs. Nusbaum said, was
to obtain for VIM and herself her
husbands estate Of thousands Of
dollars. She recently had his hold
inGs transferred from under his own
name to a joint tenancy, which
would enable her TO claim the entire
estate Immediately on his death.
And 1 wanted to marry Winn,"
she said. II love him"
There is a secondary motive. police
point out, with the discovery that
fifteen years. ago Nusbaum caught
Winn with his wife and shot Winn
over the right eye. The scar still
shows, the widow says. And, shortly
before he became paralyzed in
March, Nusbaum accused Winn of
being ov%er-friendly with Mrs. Nus

widow declared.
