PASS FIVE BILLS

The House passed five measures today and sent them to the Sen- ate. Four of them carried defi- ciency appropriations and the fifth makes a change in the statute OH legal rate of interest and usury.
 The latter provides for reduc- ton of two per cent, from 12 to 10 in interest charged on contracts, notes, etc, where the interest spe- cified exceeds the legal rate of eight per cent. The bill at first sought to reduce the legal rate to six per cent but that was eliminat- ed by amendment from the floor of the House.
 The deficiency appropriations covered in the four money bills were: For special schools, $500; for bounty on hair seals, $1O,000; and on eagles $3,0O0; for conting- ent expenses for the office of Con- missioner of Education, $125; for extra clerk hire in the Auditors office, S22282, and for U. s. Com fees for recording vital $1,000.

BIG TOWN STUFF BY LITTLE TOWN FOLKS

Baldrige, Herman and Dennison-The little Denni-
son, Baldrige machine trying out the Pengergrass system,
through the Lynch way. Where is Johnnie Lynch? Will
the evils of his sins, send him first to Fremont for a long
rest? Now they tell me he is on a vacation in Kansas City
taking a post graduate course in the Pendergrass political
system. Every once in a while we see the name of Lynch
in Omaha, with it is Baldrige, Herman Freidlander, Paul
Holiday. It is alleged that one Of Their reporters Pete
Rooney made a house to house canvass to see what Oma-
hans thought Of the Ems and Outs who had filed for city
commissioner. We have been told that out Of $40 homes
where they made inquiries, 800 said for God sake give us
a new Stew" We have been eating the old ones long
enough. In other words 800 citizens of Omaha said clean
up the city hall. The 20 said, well my brothers got a job,
save his job please.
When did Mr.. Herman Freidlander first became a CO.
worker Of the Dennison machine? Well we don't know
the exact date, but we know when he was running for the
nomination Of county commissioner, he went down on 18th
St. for high political instructions and the arm Of the po-
litical lawd was just put around him and he was told,
your a fine fellow and we are going to see that you are
nominated for county commissioner at the same time, Mr..
Freidlander was saying to the good government people Of
Omaha, $50 help me, God, I am not anyways connected
with the Dennison machine" This is the kind of material
that is putting forth efforts to keep the old Dennison ma
chine alive, through the Voters Economy Council headed
by Malcolm Baldrige; Alleged co-workers, Herman Freid-
lander, Paul Holiday, Pete Rooney and all the weak mind
ed sisters who are easily led by a sinister influence before
they make any investigation.

the Youths Idea Of a City Commission
By David Slobodinsky

Young men are always impressed by honesty and
ability, and it is certain that they will vote this time for
men Of good faith and honesty, who will k~eeptheir prom
ises to reduce taxes and refrain from interdepartment
chickering's.
earlier days, and not SO easily deceived, and it is to this
practically, that this group of men look with confidence
and assurance of being chosen as the leaders of this city
for the next three years.
The younger generation of voters are interested as
never before in good government, and in getting rid of all
forms Of political trickery and sham in public offices, and
it is on men like Carmichael, Hopkins, Trustin, Young,
Jepsen, Towl, and Westergard, that the young people can
and do pin their hopes and condolences
Young people look with respect, and have a great re-
gard for people of business ability, integrity, and educa-
ton, and if they should vote for no other reasons than
these, they might go far and still not find a group, such as
is endorsed by the Douglas County Voters League, as meri-
torious as this one.

CAMPAIGN CARD

We note from one of our would be City Commission
es campaign card on the reverse side. One line that reads
He was born and reared i nOmaha, too bad that Omaha
must admit her guilt. Another line says, "Exservice man
Air service. That accounts for the hot air we got from
him in the city council last Tuesday in person instead of a
written statement Of facts. Another line says, IL years as
manager Of the Storz Electric and Refrigeration CO.
Proud Of his name-A fine way to be. But it would be
well for the voters Of Omaha to check up on the success Of
the Company under his management and see for them
selves if the Hot Air Merchant has been ~budgeting his
own business and they will know if the Hot Air Merchant
is capable of ~budgeting the City's business. Another line
says, a business administration and harmony in the city
hall. Well if he finds reason to raise the He'll he attempted
March s and he is out trying to get in, God help us if he is
elected city commissioner. We will leave it to you as what
to expect if he gets into the city hall.

WHAT IS H INDEPENDENT VOTERS LEAGUE

group of the Dennison machine outs, assisted by the
Klu Kluk Klan and their sympathizers trying to steal the
prestige and influence of the Douglas County Voters
League, a political organization that works the year
around organized in 1924, by taking a part of this organ
ization's name. Believe it or not, this is from one who
has made an investigation Of every member Of the execu-
tive board Of the Independent Voters League. Yes, they
have endorsed Roy n. Towl and Harry Trustin. These are
two good men and should be elected. For what reason did
they endorse these men? AS a blind to get four other Of
Jews on their executive board-yes, that is true. The
Catholics are a group of ex-Dennison associates who are
out at the present time for first one reason and then an
other and the Jews are those who leap before they make
an extensive investigation.
This community and all Omaha will do well to ex-
clude the recommendation Of this organization with the
exception Of Roy N. FOWL and Harry Trustin.

After making a, careful investiga-
ton and talking with the following
parties; Mr.. Paul Haze and a friend
of his that was at the party, | do not
remember his name, Mr.. James H.
Ross, Mr.. Art Westergard, Mr.. Bell,
Miss Arrisa Richey, who did not care
to make a statement for publication,
but | was perfectly satisfied with
what I got out Of my talk with Miss
Richey about this affair. l talked with
Mrs. Grace Stanley who, / believe,
gave me a true statement very freely
Of what happened. l talked with Mrs.
Blanche BLAZE, a very short time and
felt that what | got from her in fact
she stated that she did not care to give
any statement for publication. One
Of my reporters interviewed Mrs
Blanche Buford and she stated that
she did not remember much about it
as it had been so long and she did not
care to make a statement for publica-
ton. Mr.. Paul Haze gave me a very
fine statement Of the whole affair,
also Mr.. Ross. Mr.. George D. Wes-
tergard was very reluctant to talk,
but answered every question l asked
him with a willingness to give me the
truth about what happened.
| also find that Mrs. Bell had made
the same statement to Mesdams Jones,
Wright and Bush of the south side
that she made to me three years ago
in writing to the fact that she did not
believe she could identify the man
who talked to her at the club.
In conclusion, I am positive that Mr..
Paul Haze is the man that done the
most Of the talking to Mrs. Bell and
that Mr.. James H. Ross is to be given
credit for leaving the impression that
Mr.. Westergard vas talking to the
girl by making the remark as follows
"This is Westergard's party and l am
his guest and my wife has lost a
p~ocketbook." l double checked this
statement unbeknowns to the parties
concerned and | firmly believe that Nj
Arthur Westergard has been falsely
accused by public opinion as the mar
who insulted n of u group. l found
Mr.. Arthur Westergard, Mr.. George
Westergard, Mr.. Ross and Mr.. Paul
Haze perfectly willing to cooperate
with me in giving these girls an OPP
portunity to identify the two men
that done the talking at the time of
the pocketbook affair. But, with the
exception of Mrs. Grace Stanley, I got
no cooperation whatever from any of
the girls that were present in my eff
forts to make an engagement at my
office to clear this matter up as
thought it should be.
At this time I feel positive that Mr..
Westergard is innocent of any wrong
doings to our group and should not
be prosecuted by public opinion any
further.

was a yer, regretable affair. My wife

was a vers regretable affair. My wife
and | got up from the dinner table to
dance. My wife left her ~pocketbook
lying on the table and when we re-
turned to the table the pocketbook
was misplaced. | called Paul Haze's
attention about the pocketbook being
misplaced and Mr.. Haze questioned
the girl that served US about the poe
textbook. Its been so long until it's
hard for me to remember in details
everything that happened. l do re
member, however. that Paul and both
were talking to the girl, not in an
aggressive way. for the pocketbook
was a gift of my wife's mother to her
and we were very anxious to get the
pocketbook returned. 1t seems to me
/ said to the girl, this is Mr.. Wester-
CARDS party and | am his guest. The
irl answered and said something, but
| do remember she s~teadfastly denying
nav ng the p~ocketbook.
While we were talking, Mr.. Wester-
gard had the orchestra stop playing
ard announced that a pocketbook had
been lost and requested whoever found
4 to please return it to my wife.
Shortly after that George Westergard
who is a brother to Mr.. Art Wester-
gard. returned to the table and said
he had the pocketbook in his pocket
and that he picked it up just to have
a little fun as he passed by the table
when no one was sitting there at the
beginning Of the dance and he re-
turned the pocketbook to my wife. My
wife Immediately went to the kitchen
to apologize for the mistake that had
been made to the girl questioned by
Mr.. Haze. Finding that the girl had
gone she asked the hostess to make
an apology for her to the girl as soon
as she saw her. This is about what
happened as | remember it.
CUES. Mr.. Ross, do you remember
as to the fact as to whether Mr.. Yves
tergard had anything to say to the
girl during the time the pocketbook
vas lost and found or anytime.
Ans. No. Art Westergard did not
say anything to the girl. Paul Haze
and did the talking. The only thing
/ remember that Art said was to the
orchestra to nou that a pocket
book had been lost.
Dues. Then Mr.. Ross, could you
say positively that Mr.. Westergard
did not say anything to the girl about
the loss of the pocketbook?
Ans. Which one of the Wester-
CARDS have you reference to?
Dues. Art Westergard.
Ans. No, Pm sure that Art Yves
tergard did not have anything to say
to any of the girls because he was not
on that side of the room when we
were talking.
Ques. Mr.. Ross, did Mr.. George
Westergard say anything to the girl?
Ans. Well, I'm not sure about that.
If my memory serves me correctly,
the girl was gone from that part of
the room when George returned the
pocketbook. l remember Paul saying
to George you should go and apologize
to that girl and my wife thought it
was his duty to apologize to the ac-
cused girl and Immediately went
down stairs for that purpose.
Ques. Then, Mr.. Ross, you are in a
position to state that it is a fact that
Mr.. Westergard did not at any time
say anything to any Of the girls about
the pocketbook affair.
Ans. Yes, Pm sure that Art Yves
tergard was not at anytime in that
part of the room.
The above statement was made by
The Omaha guide., 1933-04-01

L walked into the office and asked
for Mr.. George D. W~estergard. I'm
mediately he came forward and intro
duced himself to me. / asked Mr.
Westergard if he remembered the in
cldent of a lost po~cketbook at the
Prettiest Mile Club New Years. 1880.
Mr. Westergard said yes, he was the
one that had the pocketbook in his
pocket. l was not at my brothers
table that evening and when the music
began to play l passed his table on
the way to dance. | saw this pocket
DOCK lying on the table and | said to
my wife, I'm going to have some fun
out OF Arts party and l picked the
pocketbook up and stuck it in nv
pocket and proceeded on across the
room to dance. After sometime I was
informed that there was some trouble
about a ~pocketbook being stolen by a
girl and | went over to Mr.. and Mrs.
Ross where they were talking about it
ana told them that | had the pocket
book and returned it to Mrs Ross
Someone said something about an
apology and Mrs. Ross went to the
kitchen to make an apology. l do not
know as to whether she saw the girl
or not.
You know, Mr.. Galloway, this has
been a long time ago and its very
hard to remember the details. How
ever, | feel that if there is ANYBODY
hurt, 1t was my fault and / am indeed
sorry this thing happened. It looks
Ike there is no end to this affair. I
felt then and feel now that I should
apologize to all concerned for what
| did,. l did it all through fun not
intended to create any hard feelings
and | would be tickled to death to
apologize to the lady at this late day
for / would not hurt a~nybody's feelings
for anything on earth wrongfuHy.
Cues. Mr.. Westergard, do you re-
member as to the fact as to whether
Mr.. Art W~estergard said anything to
any of the girls at anytime about the

The Life Story of New York's
Communist Candidate for Mayor

This is the second of three
articles dealing with the his
tory of Robert Minor in Sc
ries discussing the three lead
ing candidates of the Commu-
mist Party in the approaching
municipal elections.)
DOBERT MINOR has for twenty
~ five years been writing, organic
ing and agitating against the en-
slavement, jim social in
equality and persecution of Negroes.
He began to do this shortly after
joining the Socialist Party in 1907
But, he says, the Socialist Party
policy made it impossible to accom-
plish anything in this direction. Real
work began only after the Commu-
mist Party was formed and had clari-
fled its policy.
For five years he was head of the
Negro Department of the Communist
Party's Central Executive Commit
tee of which he is member.
Absently and necessarily drawing
the Roman letter S, habit retained
from his old sign painting days, Mi
nor sat at his Uttered desk and re-
viewed his early interest in the liber-
alton of the Negro masses from their
position as the most cruelty exploited
section of Americas working class.
The present situation in New York
City has stimulated this inter-
est anew. Relief, public health and
medical facilities and improved hous-
ing for the joblesS Negroes of New
York are to him and his party ma
jor campaign issue and major mu-
nicipal problem.
Minors Error"
Minor relates that during his early
days, riding back toward home from
the railroad bridge-gang job he had
quit, in box-car he made the &C
quaintance of three white bootleg
gers, oldstyle. Three or four Negro
workers hoped onto the same box
car and when Minor produced some
cookies from his pocket he commit
ted the error (for the white mans"
South of offering the cookies to the
Negroes first. A quarrel followed in
which Minor saved himself from the
Bowie knives of the bootleggers only
because he was able to unlimber his
six-shooter quickly enough.
