REPORT ON CONTRIBUTIONS


THERE OUGHT to be introduced in the Senate a bill
requiring an accounting Of funds raised by public subscrip-
ton. At first reading, such a suggestion might raise the nd1g-
nation of some who think that the present system is all right
and should not be disturbed, But on second thought it will
be seen that such a bill is for the protection Of one and all.
AT ONCE IT should be seen that such a measure places
the raising of funds from public subscription on an accepta-
bic business basis, and Immediately encourages subscribers
end the public in general to make more generous contribu-
tons.
NOR IS IT necessary that the minutest detail be ac-
counted for. That is for the groups, clubs, or associations
involved to see after. What contributors would ike to know
is that their contributions, made for a given purpose, were
used for that purpose and nothing else, or # circumstances
and conditions dictated otherwise, then the funds were used
for the new purpose.
THE BILL U require that the treasurer report
such funds to the Department Of Finance with a statement
Of the uses and purposes, and a breakdown And It might
provide that collections beyond a given amount be banked
or that the officials involved provide affidavits, or that there
be an auditing.
FRANKLY, THE idea is by no means new. Many States
have laws along theses lines, and with much more stringent
provisions and requirements. Some OF them even make it q
penalty to solicit and collect funds without prior permission
or registration. 1t will also be noted that the collecting Of
ficiaS are often among the most responsible persons IN the
community, and the reason for this is two-fold; first, that
stature be given to the project, whatever it is; second, that
there be available the necessary personnel, since these men
and women often already have office stats who undertake
the added responsibilities.
WE BELIEVE that should such a bill as here suggested
be passed, everyone will stand to gain, and it will be easier
to solicit contributions for popular causes.

PUBLIC SEEKS
REINSTATEMENT
OF DR.. HORNE

Washington, D. C. (CNS) The
clamors are on for the rehiring of
DR.. Frank S. Horne, former Gov
ernment adviser on race relations
in the Housing and Home Finance
Agency. DR.. Horne was let out
unceremoniously by the Republi-
cans with the excuse that a budget
cut had been ordered.
Americans for Democratic Ac-
ton is the latest organization to
ask that DR.. Horne be reinstated.
Their statement came when it was
disclosed that he had rejected an
other Federal job at $500 more
than his former salary of $12,500.
Explained DR.. Horne: ga transfer
would be reputation of my eff
forts to end racial discrimination
in housing-a goal to which l have
dedicated my entire public service.
A veteran of nineteen years of
Government service, DR.. Horne
has revealed that he's appealing
his dismissal to the Civil Service
Commission. ADA on rallying its
membership behind him stated
that it ''calls upon President Eisen-
hover to make clear that the civil
rights policies proclaimed by him
and the Republican National Com
mittee are not just political over
lures. To this end we urge the
President to direct Administrator
Cole both to rehire DR.. Horne in
his former capacity and to Ad-
mister the housing laws in the
non-discriminatory fashion to
which his Administration is pied

pheasants in Nebraska without
the special stamp. The stamps
are non-transferable; cannot bt
loaned or borrowed and can be re-
voked for the same reasons that
hunting permits may be.
In the original conception Of
the upland game bird stamp ideas
were borrowed from similar plans
in other states. Michigan and
Missouri both require special
stamps for trout fishing; and
Kansas requires a special stamp
for quail hunting.
Revenue obtained by the Game
Commission from the sales of the
S1.OO stamp are to be used for pro-
pgation and restoration of upland
game birds, according to the new
state law.
The stamps will be available by
September 1st from regular per-
NIT vendors and Game Commits
sion offices in Alliance, Bassett,
Norfolk, North Platte and Lincoln.

NINE MILLION NEW JOBS

American business has created
close to nine million new jobs
since World War II, nearly keep
ing pace with the demand. accord
ing to the Chamber Of Commerce
Of the United States.
That, says the Chamber, should
throw just about the last spadeful
of earth over the grave of the no
tion that improved technology
causes unemployment.
The nine million new jobs cover
all industries except agriculture.
Government jobs are also exclud-
ed During the same period, the
Chamber reports, the number of
persons Of working age has also
increased by about nine million.
These events took place during
an era of expanded technology the
like of which the world has never
seen, the Chamber points out. New
machines, new production methods,
new sales and management
skills exploded all over the in
dustrial landscape.
The biggest boost in jobs came
in the retail trades, in manufact-
uring, construction and the ser
vice industries. And while the
number of farm jobs decreased
due to increased productivity,
these workers found jobs else
where, the Chamber points out.
The lesson these figures teach
the Chamber suggests, is that the
net effect of better ways of doing
things is to create rather than to
destroy jobs.

TRAVEL HINTS

At the height of the travel sea
son and while summer is at its
hottest throughout the country, a
few pertinent questions seem to
be in order.
To the traveller: Will you re-
turn to the same place next year,
and if not, why? Did you find
your hotel, motel or resort, just
like you pictured it before you
left? Were you surprised or dis
appointed? Did the advertising of
the place mislead you? Did you
pay too much for food, services
and facilities? Did the employees
treat you as guest should be
treated, or were you ignored or in
suited?
To the employee: How have the
guests treated you? Did they
have champagne tastes and beer
pocket books? How many 'skips'
did you have? Did they Lord
over you and treat you like a
peasant, or were they considerate
and kind? Frankly now, are
pleasure-bent Negroes hard to get
along with?
To the owner: How's business
better or worse than last year? Are
you planning any innovations for
next year? How much of your
equipment will have to be re-
placed, due to pilferage? Did you
lose many sheets, towels, etc., this
year? Do you welcome family
groups? What was the average
length of stay at your place?
We welcome answers to the a.
bove questions and in future
columns will attempt to analyze
them in order to get cross sec
ton of opinion.

terviews with the hundreds OF
automobile dealers by Universal
G. I. T.
Our survey disclosed that the
major reasons behind the pur-
chase of a second car" said vice
president Harold d. Wetzel Of O.
maha, "are the trend to suburban
living and the need for second
car for shopping and taking child
rem to school when the husband
uses the car to get to work"
Another important reason. he
said, is that millions of teen-agers
are attaining driving age and an
increasing number are able to af-
ford automobiles. This factor will
become even more important, he
pointed out, when the huge "war
baby" population reaches driving
age in the 196O's.
There are about 4,5O0,0OO two
car families in the United States
The credit executive estimated
that about 13 per cent of Neb-
raska's car-owning families have
more than one car. The percent
age probably will double over the
next five years, he declared.
Most of the states two-car FAM
lies are white collar or profession
al workers and farmers, although
two-car ownership is widespread
among skilled workers, the sur
vey showed.
Average annual income of two
car families is about $1,000 in Neb-
raska, the survey showed.
About two-thirds of the new
cars bought by two-car families
are bought on installment credit,
the survey showed, and more than
three-fourths of the used cars are
purchased on credit The Univer-
sal CIT. executive rated the
credit standing and financial re-
sponsibility of the states typical
two-car family unusually high.
In general, the states families
graduate" into the two-car class
by keeping their "old" car instead
of trading when they get the new
one. A smaller proportion buys
a used car as second car.
Another result of the trend is a
surge in the popularity of station
wagons, "small" cars and CONVEX
tibles, the survey showed.

Nebruskuns
Give $733,642
TO Fight Polio


Final Audit of 1866 March of
Dimes receipts reveal that Neb-
raskan's contributed $733,642 this
year toward the bill for Americas
accelerated fight against polio, it
was announced today by Ted R.
Hughes, Seward, State Chairman
for the March of Dimes.
This figure was $14,079 less
than the total for 1854, but Neb-
raska continued for the third con-
secutive year to hold fourth
highest rank in the nation in per
capita giving. Hughes said. Neb-
raska's per capita record was ex-
ceeded only by the three less popu-
lated states of Nevada, Wyoming
and Idaho.
"Our volunteers, partly because
they were inspired by the bright
promise Of the Salk vaccine and
partly because of devotion to those
for whom any vaccine comes too
late, did a great job and deserve
the highest credit" Hughes COM
mented.
Although total national contri-
buttons in January ($52,511.185),
following upon the heels Of an
Emergency March of Dimes last
August, were almost as much as
in January 1854 (S54,841,213),
the amount fell nearly II million
dollars short of increased needs in
1856, the State Chairman reported
He drew attention to the fact
that Nebraska had it's highest po-
lilo incidence in history (721 cases)
last year and that the resulting
load Of polio patients has, or will
soon make it necessary for many
chapters to seek emergency aid
from National Headquarters. A
similar picture is found in many
other states, he said. Because OF
the unprecedented drain upon
National Headquarters in the con-
duct of its usual program COM
bined with the cost of the vaccine
project, however, there are nc
funds at National Headquarters
to be advanced except as addi-
tional amounts are made available
by Individual chapters having al
least limited, unobligated funds ir
their treasures.
'It's going to be touch and
co." said Hughes, "to pull through
to the next March of Dimes in
January. But in keeping with the
early American tradition of NUT
ual aid in time of peril, you car
be sure all county chapters a.
cross the nation not already facing
deficits will contribute the maxi
mum possible to assure care anC
treatment to every polio victim
anywhere regardless of age, race
creed or geographical location
"We are not going to let the
unfortunate victims of polio
down." Hughes concluded, "anG
we will be back in January fol
additional support that they may
continue to have medical anC
other care upon which their flu
ture depends"
