BY WILLIAM J. CONWAY

CHICAGO, March o. up The
Chicago mayoral election April l
provides the first big city test
since the 1916 congressional vote
of how things are shaping up be-
tween republicans and democrats
in the push toward '48.
Republicans, who punched the
democratic organization back on
its heels in the autumn bout, are
striving for a knockout blow. They
won IA of II offices in the county
in November. They figure domin-
alton of the city, coupled with
their normal advantage down
state, would shift Illinois % cleo
toral votes to the COP. column
in the presidential race.
Democrats. who have retained
a grip on the city for IS years
and helped swing the state to
Franklin D. Roosevelt four times,
are seeking to hold the fort as
their party's citadel in Illinois.
The race pits Martin H. Ken
reilly, democrat, a business man
making his first bid for elective
public office, against Russell W.
Root, a lawyer who zoomed up
from the ranks to direct republi-
cans to a humping triumph in
Cook County (Chicago) last fall.
At stake is a four-year position
with an $18, 900 annual salary, rule
of the city hall and it's 10000 jobs,
and political control of Chicago.
Carroll Reece, republican ma
t;onal chairman, has termed the
fight for the mayoralty an "im.
pcrtant preliminary engagement
in next years presidential battle.
Kennedy carried the endorse
raent of Edward J. Kelly, demo
cratic national committeeman who
is stepping out of mayors suite
after a 14-year tenure, and of the
Chicago democratic organization
Root has the backing OF Gov.
Dwight H. Green, and the Chlca'
90 units of the republican state
organization.
Because the duel involves poll
teal prestige and power. and may
produce omens of national signifi-
canoe, increasing attention IS TO
cusing on the candidates.
They are cast in the midwestern
mold. Both are big, friendly, III
formal and plain-talking. Both are
veterans of World War I. Botf

all-around improvement. They

brought savings FOR the people of
Nebraska, but that he did believe
the same thing could have been
accomplished under private own
ership.
The average cost per klloWatt
hour in Nebraska is 1922 cents
The national average is 3.24. Ten
years ago the Nebraska figure
was sos and the national figure
4.30. Progress toward cheap
power has been more rapid in Ne
braska, and spokesman here claim
this is only a beginning"
Harold Kramer. general manag-
er of the Loup Public Power dis
trict with headquarters here,
says:
''We're way behind Canada,
where rural rates are only one
cent a kilowatt hour. But Cana
da's public power system is about
40 years old. We're much younger.
What Canada has done, we Will
dc, and faster"
To that end, a progressive rate
reduction schedule is in effect.
As rates are reduced, the state
is using more and more power.
Little more than a decade ago Ne
braska had a surplus of 500, OOO,-
900 kilowatt hours a year. Now,
one of the grestest problems is
to keep up with consumption.
Ten years ago. the average Gus
toner in Nebraska used 1888 kilo'
watt hours a year compared with
8O5 for the nation. Now the Ne,
braska figure approaches the ma
tional average of 1900. Just as
Nebraska power rates are falling
faster than the national average
so consumption per customer is
increasing faster than the nation
al average.
During the war there was
heavy drain on power supply. The
government built four huge ord
nance plants and depots in Ne
braska. Army air fields sprang w
IL more than a dozen places. A
Omaha there was the giant Glenn
L. Martin bomber plant.
Not once did these essential wa.
installations have a power failure
although power consumption
srowballed to new highs.
Wars end brought fears of
power surplus. Instead, the de
mand increased.
These demands eall into severa

More than 10 years old now, Ne
braska's public power empire
grew in a hurry when the big

The prices paid for privately

financing the purchases have been
beyond what is fair to the public.
There's been too much financing

too much money paid out for COM

will have to pay back in rates."

2. Life is becoming more pleas

Hate Is Described
As Militant Force
.MCub Address
Bv Frances Lide

A warning that hate is a more
militant force than brotherhood"
was sounded by Mrs. M. E. Tilly OF
Atlanta, Ga, member of the Presi-
dents Committee on Civil Rights.
in an address yesterday before the
Women's National Press Club.
The speaker also warned that
leach denial of civil rights, whether
it takes the form of violence or
suave refusal Of Pullman accommo-
dations, drives a wedge deeper in
betraying America to its enemies"
"The United States is not so
strong, and the final triumph of the
democratic ideal is not so inevitable,
that we can ignore what the world
thinks Of us and our record" she
asserted.
Mrs. lilly said she had been en-
couraged by the publics reaction
since publication of the committee
report. Estimating that she re-
ceives from 6 to 18 letters a day on
the subject, she reported that only
about per cent is critical.
In answer to question, she said
she was not familiar with protest
made by the District Federation of
Women's Clubs which criticized sec
tions of the report dealing with the
District of Columbia for "inaccura-
cies.' She told reporters later that
she has received four or five pro-
tests mailed from the District of
Columbia, but that they were
anonymous.
She expressed the view, however,
that Washington is the hope of
the world" and the District, "the
show window of the Nation" I'm
it, the world should see only the
practice of all principles of democ-
racy," she declared.
Mrs. Tilly emphasized her belief
that hate is Americas No. COM
munity problem and said 1t Is not
confined to any one section of the
country. Its missionaries are per-
sistent and there are lot OF them"
she declared.
Citing steps being taken in the
South for its eradication, she re-
called that a group of Mississippi
church women made drive to elm
mate the racial issue in the last
election. II cannot say how far the
church groups were responsible, but
you know the results" she added.
Giving suggestions for implement
ing recommendations of the civil
rights report, the speaker pointed to
the section calling for "a long term
campaign of public education to in
form the people of the civil rights to
which they are entitled and which
they owe to one another"
Mrs. Tilly, VINO is secretary of the
Social Relations Department of the
Women's Society of Christian Serv-
ice of the Methodist Church, was
introduced by the club president,
Miss Ruth Cowan. The luncheon
was held at the Mayfower Hotel.
