An amendment has been pro-
posed in Nebraska directing a
change in the two-chamber
Legislature into a small, un-
cameral body of well paid law
makers who would sit until
their work is completed. Pro-
ponents of the amendment
argue that the present system
of two chambers is intricate,
scatters responsibility, permits
selfish interests to dominate
control of committees, and is
too expensive. The idea ex-
pressed in the amendment may
be a creditable one but the
system of government is not so
important as those that are IN
trusted with directing its
course. If creditable changes
were made in the latter de-

FEENEY FIRES
STATE COPS
DiSmiSSaIS Widen Breach
Between Police Head
and Greenlee.

Dismissal of two state policemen
by Al G. Feeney, state safety di-
rector, today appeared to have
brought to a climax the problem of
who shall control the state police
force.
Mr.. Feeney fired patrolmen John
Hamilton, Sullivan, and Guy Engle,
Carbon, for neglect of duty. Their
neglect, according to Mr.. Feeney,
consisted in allowing an auto theft
suspect to escape from the lavatory
of Calumet City Gll) beer resort,
while the two policemen sat slipping
beer.
The suspect, Glynn Wolfe, Bick-
nell, was being brought from Terre
Haute to Hammond. Calumet City
is a few blocks across the state line
from Hammond Manacled, Wolfe
nevertheless, managed to raise the
lavatory window and flee.
Both Hamilton and Engle denied
at hearing that they had been
drinking beer in uniform
Hamilton is one of the two state
policemen ordered into Sullivan
county by Pleas Greenleee, execu-
tive secretary to Governor Paul v.
McNutt. to do political work there
Mr.. Feeney ordered Hamilton out
of the county and refused to dis
miss Claude Dozier, another officer,
who had disregarded Mr.. Green
lees orders.
The refusal to fire p iceman Doz-
Ter and Governor McNutt's failure
to back Up his patronage secretary
is said to have engendered the con-
f1ict between Mr.. Greenlee and Mr..
Feeney.
The former thus far has remained
silent in the present situation, but
has been keeping in close touch
through the medium of Captain
Matt Leach
Captain Leach has remained
officially" silent, but has said pri-
vately that the mere escape of
prisoner is not sufficient evidence
for dismissal
Mean while, some move, or lack
of one, by Mr.. Greenlee is a waited.
