"Now my friends, we have met
at a time when the world is under
going great stresses and strains.
There is world wide economic and
social chaos and political disorder,
and intellectual uncertainty in the
world today. Everywhere Mankind

the eastern section of the world,
you will find war; a great nation of

Poi is Named In Presidents Call

New York, Nov. As the date
for the special session of Congress
draws near, efforts are being made
in Warrington to limit the program
of the special session and postpone
action on the anti l~nching bill
and other controversial measures
until the regular session convenes
in January.
Administration leaders are e
ported to be working on a five
point program for the special SEES

and hour regulations, government
reorganization, regional, and re
vision of the ANTITRUST laws.
If the program of the special

session is held to these five points,
it will mean that the anti-lynching
bill will be passed by until the re-

The principal objective of these
moves to limit the program is to
get the anti-lynching bill out Of
the way as the second item of bust

ZIP to the age OF so, Nicholas
- Loewenbrugger lived a simple
family life in Switzerland. Ir
1867, inspired by a vision, ane
with the consent of his wife, he
quit human society and became 9
hermit on a mountain called the
"Flue." Thus he became known
as Nicholas Won der Flue, OF
Brother Klaus"
For 20 years, it is said, he re-
manned secluded in the mountain
Businesses. He became famous for
his gift of prophecy, and many
civic leaders sought his advice.
AT that time the eight cantons
that formed Switzerland were al
most constantly at war. In 1880,
war again seemed inevitable.
Brother Klaus advice was sought,
and bloodShed was averted. For
this and other great deeds, Mich
olas was beatified in 1869. Today
he is the patron saint of the orig
inal Swiss cantons, and savior Of
the Swiss Confederation. His por-
trait appears on Swiss stamp is

BREAK SYSTEM
MAY CUT COST
Find Measures Reduced By
Half Through One House
Legislature
By ROBERT KELLY
United Press Staff Correspondent


LINCOLN, Neb., March /. &C.,
CUP. 49, The Nebraska ne-house
legislature has accomplished one
Of the detectives Of its sponsors
reduction in number of bills intro
Guced.
81 the end OF the Both legisla-
tive day, the dcadlinc for prescn-
tGt'on Of new measures under the
scn$te's self-impCsed rules, only
SOL bills had fallen into the hop
rcr a. cOntrastea with 1856, bills
introduced at the 1885 session Of
the twO-hOg2c legislature.
toug ILLS later we're withdrawn
because their sponsors discovered
duplicate measures had been in
tycdUccd on The last day before
the dcaGline.
The bills covered subjects rum
ming the gamut of human activity.
There was proposal to legalizc
cuthanaSia, commonly known rs
"mercy DEATH" bill to make 1t
unlawful to use profane language
in the presence Of the dead, and
other unusual measures.
NO NEW TAX BILLS
The surprising development was
that there were no bills for new
forms o. taxes, such as income
taxes, sales taxes o. cigarette
taxes.
Nebraska has refused to follow
other states in obtaining new
kinds of revenue to supplement
its property tax, except that it has
scent gasoline tax, small part
Of which is used for the states so
cial security program.
Cost Of operating the unicam-
eral legislature during its first
month, including part payment of
salaries to members, was $780,
90&.SI The chairman Of the leg
islativc administration committee
said he believed total expense
would not exceed $4,000 and pos
sibly would ran as low as $780,
coo.
The last two-hOuSc regular Soc
sion Of the legislature cost the
state $IGO,l6.&5.
The legislatures policy Of d2yOt-
ing every afternoon to committee
hearings has evoked unpreccdent-
ed public interest in The processes
of lawmaking. Open sessions have
attracted crowds up to 500 per
sons.
CID SENATE CHAMBER
USED
The old senate chamber, which
observers feared would fall into
disuse with the adoption Of the
unicamoral system, is being used
for committee hearings.
One bill was introduced to pro-
vide machinery, for holding annual
instead Of biennial sessions of the

25Go Reduction Could Be Made By Application of
 Known Preventives

Hartford, Dec. l4-Traff1c deaths and accidents would be reduced from 25 to 50 per cent If present knowledge and available methods of prevention were given general ap- plicat' on, declared Norman Damon, director of the Automotive Safety Foundation, here today addressing the annual meeting of the Con- necticut Automotive Trades associa- tion. His conclusion, he said, was based on actual records of states and cities using effective pro- cedures whose fatality and accident totals are 25 per cent below the na- tional average and SO per cent be- low the totals of states and cities having the worst records.
 Tn other words" MT. Damon said, "any state or community can have as much or as little traffic safety as It's public officials and citizens determine upon. Public officials know what should be done and are alert to their opportunities. but they can proceed no faster than the public understands the problem and allows them to go."
