In Nebraska Expected
To End in Photo Finish
Sentiment of Voters
Has Switched Three
Times, Polls Indicate
BY oouId Lincoln
stor Sfoff Correspondent

OMAHA, Nebr., June 1.-THE
Griswold-Butler race for the Re-
publican senatorial nomination
is pretty much of a horse race
with few bets laid either way on
the outcome, so close does the
contest appear on the surface
A poll taken by the World Herald
of Omaha. gives a scant lead, very
scant, to Gov. Griswold Out of q
total of 800 answers to intervieWers
Gov. Griswold received 400 votes, anc
Senator Butler 391. On percent.

SLIPS per cent and Senator Butler
48.875. A month ago similar pol
gave Gov. Griswold 5188 per cent
an6 Senator Butler ALL, and two
months ago. the same kind OF poll
showed Senator Butler with SO pei
cent and Gov Griswold with 48 per
cent
Despite the result of the poll, the
Butler supporters today are express
ing great confidence in the probable
success of their candidate, while the
Griswold proponents are much less
willing to predict success for the
Governor.
Beaten Three Times.
Three times Gov. Griswold was
nominated for Governor by the
Republicans and three times he was
defeated, before he won his first
victory in 1910. Since then he has
neen twice reelected. Senator But
Ter, on the other hand has won
once in a Statewide contest-when
he was elected to the Senate in
1910.
What rankles in the minds OF
many OF the regular Republicans is
the fact that Gov. Griswold is in
viting the voters to dump Senator
Butler out of the Senate-when in
their opinion Senator Butler has beer
an entirely satisfactory Senator for
Nebraska. They insist that Senator
Butler is entitled to second term
and that Gov. Griswold is merely
seeking personal political gain. This
Is vigorously denied by the Griswold
people, who say that the Governor
has demonstrated grasp of both
State and National affairs during his
pnblc career and that men of his
type, young, aggressive and forward
looking, are needed in the Senate.
Gov. Griswold during his three
terms has undoubtedly trod on the
toes of a number of people, who

support him if he had re-entered

White House Press Secretary
Charles G. Ross, in announcing the

accepting Admiral Souers' resigna-

White House statement said that
Admiral Souers had taken a sub

Senators Told Action
Would Aid Equitable
Breed Distribution
By Malcolm Lomborne, Jr.

Sterilization Director Bowles
revealed today the Government
was considering "preconsumer
rationing of wheat to millers and
flour to bakeries and some form
of controlled distribution of
bread loaves to retail outlets, in
move to bring about equitable
distribution of the Nations grain
supplies after deductions have
been made for famine relief
shipments.
Testifying before the Senate Small
Business Committee, Mr.. Bowles in
sisted, however, that actual ration
ing of bread to consumers would
be pretty impractical" The pro-
gram under study, he said, would
end at the retail level and would
be designed, among other things,
to give small business operators
a fair share of bread supplies.
He said that if every store was
assured of rs per cent of its normal
supply, then proper distribution
could be achieved and the need for
consumer rationing eliminated.
La Guardia Plan Similar.
Mr.. Bowles' statement followed
a somewhat similar proposal from
UNRRA Director General La
Guardia, who said he would favor
rationing at the professor level"
with so much grain going to millers,
distillers and others normally buy
ing wheat.
Mr.. La Guardia gave members of
the committees series of photo
graphs of Washington stores, dis
playing either empty bread shelves
or shelves piled up with cake prod
ucts. He said the pictures were
taken yesterday and commented:
I'VE should make less cake and
more bread
THE'UNRRA chief, asked by Sen
ator Wherry, Republican, of Ne
braska to comment on the food col
lection program headed by Secre-
tary of Commerce Wallace, said he
was not particularly pleased to learn
that the program was concerned
with food collections since this en-
tailed expenses in packing and get
ting the contributions to ports for
export.
He revealed that the public an
nouncement of the drive was made
without his or Mr.. Wallace's knowl-
edge and that as a result at least
one person had been fired.
Don't Need Water.
Mr.. La Guardia pointed out that
people out of the goodness of their
heart" contribute all kinds of can
ned goods much of it of the type
with a high water content. He
added: Il don't want to ship water
overseas. They've got water"
In the meantime, a Geographic
survey conducted by the OPA in 81
of its Sc districts shows that SO per
cent of the areas reporting have
noted a worsening of the bread
shortage in the past two weeks.
Seventy-nine per cent of the dis
tricts have informed the national
office that the bread situation was
serious or acute"
In the IS per cent of the areas,
according to the OPA, merchants
are employing various methods of
distributing bread supplies, such as
limiting one loaf to a customer,
selling only to regular customers and
selling from under the counter"
The check was made by the
agency to determine the extent of
a reported bread black market. It
showed, however, only four scat
tered communities selling bread at
over-ceiling prices.
