Truck License
Action Viewed
as Necessary
Making Nebraska Truckers Buy Mis
souri Plates to Be Expected,
Says Governor Weaver.
Nebraska officials were not par
ticularly alarmed Friday over a re
port from Jefferson City, Mo., that
all truck owners from this state oper
ating there would be compelled to
buy Missouri licenses nor were they
apparently surprised at the edict.
In fact, they said, the truck re
ciprocity problem between states has
assumed more than a Missouri com
plex for Iowa truck operators and
owners were recently informed of
the same determination upon the
part of Nebraska officials.
Governor Weaver, as head of the
department of public works, tho not
officially advised of the Missouri ulti
matum, expressed the belief there
was no other way out of the situa
tion. "The new law," he said, "is very
clear and concise and there appears
to be no loop hole for any recipro
city." He said he expected to investigate
all angles of the situation, however,
with Roy Cochran, secretary of the
department, and Attorney General
Sorensen. Cochran, author of a Ne
braska ultimatum which stirred Sec
retary of State Becker of Missouri to
action, was not in Lincoln to discuss
the situation, tho he is known to
have assigned road patrolmen to the
task of confronting the truck situa
tion. Iowa became embroiled in the
truck controversy Just recently. Gov
ernor Weaver pointed out, author
ities bringing the situation to a head
when southern Iowa cattle truckers
were halted at the Nebraska City
bridge. The law, revised by the 1929
legislature, compels the licensing of
all foreign trucks for commercial pur
poses in Nebraska, and altho one
clause exempts buses in interstate
traffic, another paragraph includes
them under the license order.
Enforcement of the new law, Sor
ensen said Friday, is entirely up to
Governor Weaver as head of the pub
lic works department.
"There is apparently nothing to be
done. The law is very plain and pre
cise and the action on the part of
Missouri officials is easily expected."
In each Instance where the law has
been called into action, he said, the
case at hand involved the use of
commercial trucks or buses.
NOT DICTATOR, WOODS STATES
Lincoln, Nov. 15. George W.
Woods, state banking commissioner,
accused by County Attorney Kelligar
of Auburn, of being a "dictator" In
handning affairs of the closed Julian
bank, Friday sent a verbal volley
back at the county official.
"Why, I had scarcely heard
of this fellow until he barked
out through the newspapers. His
assertion is scurrilous and un
founded," Woods retored.
In a dispatch from Auburn Kelli
gar was quoted as accusing Woods
of forcing the dismissal of Deputy
Sheriff Peterson following a tangle
in which the latter served a writ of
replevin in a transaction between tho
bank and a group of farmers who
wanted to recover sight drafts in the
hands of the bank when it closed.
Commissioner Woods, Kelligar
held, directed the deputy to refrain
from levying on the drafts but that
he did so anyway and was later re
leased from duty. 1
In defense of the state depart
ment today, Attorney Skiles of the
legal department, declared the com
missioner had the law behind him in
ordering officers to refrain from serv
ing the writ.
Property in the hands of a depart
ment examiner in charge of a closed
bank, he said, was Immune from any
legal processes, according to a strict
interpretation of the law.
Inferences that he was instrumen
tal in the dismissal of the officer
were discounted entirely by Mr.
Woods who declared he had nothing
to do with his discharge in any way.
FOOTBALL GATE SETS RECORD
of This Movemenet Urge Sup
port of Local Library
From Saturday's Dtlir
This week was originally called
Children's Book week but was
changed "by the National Library
Association to Book Week, and is ob
served in all our public libraries to
a greater or less extent. The Na
tional slogan is "More Books in the
Home." And the hope of the library
workers is that there may be more
boks in our homes, not only in Book
Week but all through the year. That
parents may have an Interest in and
a knowledge of what their children
are reading, and that they may give
a iielpful co-operation. These are
Konie of the things the observance of
Book Week will help to bring about
Our Library is fourth in size in the
state, but is near the first in cir
culation and the work is heavier now
than it has ever been. Often more
than 200 books a day are given out
for home use. In addition to this
tluie is a very large amount of ref
erence work and supplementary read
r.g for our schools. The public
schools of Plattsmouth have no ref
erence library, depending entirely on
the public library for the necessary
reference work and supplementary
reading, which Is obsolutely indes-
pcn&ible if the pupils do the required
voik of the schools of today. The
hist-ny classes often have 20 to 25
bcKk out at one time, for the nec
esaiy reference work. English Lit
erature requires almost as many
and all departments must have many
boks not furnished in the schools
Our library has far less money to
use for the necessary supplies than
any library of our class in the state
Therefore, we are asking each per
son who can do so, to Rive magazines
in good condition, a good book, or
its equivalent, to the library, this
Book Week. Thus helping this busy
place to be even more effcient than
it is now. Library Committee of

ladies became interested in art work
and when a national contest was
staged by Louis E. Meyers of Val-
Daralso. Indiana, the young ladies
decided to enter the contest and
were supplied with the material by
the Hy-San Paint Co., of the In
diana city and their completed work

The Burlington railroad Is to is
sue a new time card on its passenger
service by the first of December and
in which a number of important
changes are reported as contemplated
on the lines that operate in this sec
tion of the west.
One of the changes that will be

teh routing of train No. 12 which
now leaves Omaha and goes via the
Council Bluffs line and which will
leave umana ror the east at 8 or

posed plan be made a through pas
senger train in addition to the ex
press and make a "hot shot" be

important points along te line.
SEEKS A DIVORCE
From Thursday's Dally
Action was filed in the office of
the clerk of the district court today
by Mrs Nellie V. Estelle in which she
seeks a decree of divorce from Jack
Etstelle, a former restaurant keeper
of this city. The petition states that
the parties were married on July

192S, the defendant deserted the
plaintiff and their infant child. The
petition alleges that the defendant

Tne Holy Rosary church in the
west part of the city was the recip
ient in the last few days of a beau
tiful work of art especially made
for this church In Moravia. The art
work comprises a wooden carved
statue of St. Wenceslaus, patron saint
of the Czechs.
The statue has been placed on the
altar of the church which was pre

electric lights. All of these have been
the donation of one of the members
of the Holy Rosary church.

This year is the thousandth anni
versary of his death, and it is being
celebrated in a manner befitting the
national hero of a people. The cele

eagle that was the national symbol
of his day, his armor and helmet, his
bronze shirt of self-discipline, his
hair-cloth garment of chastity. There
are also many paintings of him that
have been done during the centuries,
besides a diamond crown that Charles
IV made to place upon the fleshless
skull of the four-centuries-dead saint.
During the month of August the
anniversary took the form of special
Masses in the City of Prague and in
the hundreds of St. Wenceslaus
churches scattered all over the coun
try.
The height of the celebration took
place during September 26 to 30.
There was a grand illumination of
the city of Prague and a nightly dis
play of fireworks. On September 26
there was a solemn oratorio, in the
ancient but just completed St. Vitus
Cathedral of Prague. This was fol
lowed the next day with a govern
mental religious celebration in front
of the monument of St. Wesceslaus
in the St. Wesceslaus Square in
Prague. The president and other of
ficials took part. On September 28,
the anniversary of the death of the
saint, the Cathedral of St. Vitus was
consecrated.
The government issued a series of
commemorative postage stamps with
pictures of St. Wenceslaus.
