SoIons Spar for Votes
During Special Session

THE Truman stock has
Il climbed again. The Presi-
dents precedent shattering
challenge to the Republican
controlled congress has Wash
ington in a other as the lawmakers
battle the campaign issues out on
the floor of congress.
AS this reporter pointed out in
this column several weeks ago, pre-
dieting the special session call, it
may be the first time in political
history that political parties enact
their platform pledges prior to the
election.
Both platforms pledge almost the
same reforms on the domestic front:
Federal aid to education, civil
rights, extension of social security,
a national health program, halt
to the high price situation, increase
in minimum wages, public and low
cost housing.
The big question Is: Will the
Republicans have accepted the
challenge by performance, rath-
err than by promises when the
curtain rings down on this spe-
cial session?
Already there is strife over the
controversial issues. Democrats
pledge repeal of the Taft-Hartley
act-Republicans want to strength
en- it. Democrats want to repeal
oleo taxes-Republicans are silent
on that. Democrats want to go back
to the original reciprocal trade act
Republican do not. Democrats
want no change in the tax exempt
status of farm cooperatives-Repub-
icans differ among themselves.
Democrats want a new displaced
persons bill, one that is not "anti-
Semitic and anti-Catholic" as brand
ed by the Observation-Disclosures
generally are satisfied with the
hodge-podge bill enacted at the reg
ular session.

Home Votes Count

There is some indication among
both Republicans and Democrats
in this special session that mem
bers Of congress have had some
contact with the home folks in the
home towns of the country since
the Both congress adjourned. They
have been asked why so much un
finished business was left undons
and they are a little more amenable
to the demands of their constituents
and less ready to listen to the paid
lobbyists.

A grave digger, absorbed In his
thoughts, dug grave so deep he
couldn't get out. AS the chilly night
came on he became more and more
uncomfortable, and started shouting
for help. At length a passing in

"Get me out Of here" shouted the
grave digger. I'm cold"
The inebriated gent regarded him
with surprise. mo wonder you're

Private Power

This reporter took a trip recently
to look over a successful private
power hydro-electric set-up on the
Susequehanna river in southern
Pennsylvania. Here the private
power interests have two efficient
water power plants producing cheap
electricity.
They also have developed rec

showing that private industry
can do the job If it wants to.
But what struck this writer is that
it is necessary also to have a steam
generating plant nearby to firm"
power to customers because of rise
and fall of waterpower in the river.
Yet private power objects to and
defeats appropriation for steam
plant for the same purpose in the
IVA system.

TRAFFIC NEWS

death was forced to take
several holidays during the
month of March insofar as the
traffic fatalities were concern
ed because Of Nebraska driver
continued alertness. This en-
abled the State to establish an
all-time low for deaths due to
traffic accidents E. P. Tin
ker, Executive Director of the
Nebraska State Safety Coun-
Gil said today.
Nebraska recorded just 6
traffic fatalities for March as
against 26 last year for the
same period.
In establishing this all-time
record, a previous low Of z
traffic fatalities in March Of
1941 was substantially better
ed.
At the same time, other ma
rks were established during
the month of March. One OF
these was the longest period
in post war recording with
out a death due to a traffic
accident. This record was est
ablished when the State went
II days without a fatality
from March 2 thru Is. Also
recorded during this month
and the latter part Of Febru-
ary was a 25-day period with
mark was established from
February26th thru March 21.
At present the State is real
ling a saving of p lives for
the first three months in 1913.
AT the present rate, this will
give the State 88 lives saved
for the year nearly realizing
the State Safety Councils pie
to save 100 lives.

as many of the vital nutrients
as have peanuts. They are high

In addition they give us a fair

from them-as peanuts or as
