District Heights. Mrs. Brashears
said her library circulates about
400 books a week, of which 1875
are children's books.
No Love Stories
Connie likes fairy tales anc
animal stories. Phillip reads
everything he can get, except
love stories. Both have other
interests and neither could be
described as a book worm. Both
are above-average pupils in the
District Heights elementary
school.

of what happened:
"On January II or 10 Nefi

Leader building. He said he had
been to Washington but was un-
able to see the Senator,
"Neff told me that many
people in Nebraska considered
Case an able Senator for the

the contribution to the cam :
paign. He asked me to turn the
money over to John Griffin

did"

much money was involved he
said he wanted to think about
it a while
With his announcement of be-
ing the man. who received the
money from Mr.. Neff, Mr.. Kahler
released parts OF two letters
bearing on the incident.
One is a letter'of December IA

it actually came up for decision
on the floor"
Mr.. Griffin recounted his role
this way:
Senator Case called me and
advised that a sum of money
would be left with me as Gus
todian of campaign funds for
Senator Case in Sioux Falls. He
advised me to accept the en-
velope, place it in safe keeping
and await instruction.
The envelope, which I assume
contains the funds. is in safe
keeping in local bank. 1t has
not been deposited with, OF
mingled with, other campaign
funds. The deposit was handled
as instructed by Senator Case
and with the knowledge of prop
ler Government authorities.
The money will remain in the
bank, until proper handling is
advised by Senator Case, and
governmental authorities.

with me. I told him that it was
