Senate Lines Up with Norris on Muscle Shoals Assents to Nebraskan's Plan for Government Operation of Project Washington Once more the sen ate Friday voted to turn over the government's $150,000,000 nitrate ad power project at Muscle Shoals,. Ala., to a government controlled cor poration for experimentation In fer tilizer production. It was the second time in the ten years controversy over disposition of this gigantic war time property that the resolution of Senator Norris. Nebraska, for gov ernment operation has been , approv ed. The vote was 45 to 23, with the republican regulars in opposition. Two attempts to modify the reso lution were rejected in the closing hours of the three day debate. The measure was sent to the house in practically the same form as it was adopted by congress two years ago. President Coolidge pocket vetoed It then. House Action in Doubt. Considerable doubt covers the fu ture of the Norris resolution in the house. Leaders there have given no asurance for its consideration. Like wise there is some uncertainty at the capitol over the attitude of President Hoover toward the pro posal. It was opposed by adminis tration leaders in the senate. Senator Norris led the drive for his resolution in the senate. He suc cessfully staved oft every attempt at serious modification. Senator Van denberg. Michigan, sought to strike out the provision allowing payments to the states of Alabama and Ten nessee from proceeds on the sale of surplus power. That lost on a tie vote. 33 to 33, with Vice President Curtis ahpent. Later Senator Walsh, Montana, an nounced he had voted under a misap prehension and changed his vote. which made the record 34 to 32 against the Vandenberg proposal. .-After assailing the general terms and principle of the bill Senator Fees, Ohio, sought to eliminate the provision for construction of a $34,- 000,000 dam on the Clinch river in Tennessee at Cove Creek. This was turned back without a record vote. How The Senate Voted.

World-Herald SENATE CONTEST IS HEATED Chicago Rivalry among the re publican candidates for the United States senatorial nomination became further embroiled in county politics Friday. Howard W. Elmore, presi dent of the sanitary district of Chi cago, in a public statement declared he had broken with Senator Charles S. Deneen on the sanitary -iistrict of patronage. Elmore and Deneen spon sor opposing tickets of candidates for the district board of trustees, and while Elmore was giving out his ptatement, Ruth Hanna McCormick, Deneen's principal rival for the sen atorial nomination, was reading the statement at a noonday mass meet lng. . The election fraud Inquiry mean while moved along with the return ing of indictments against twenty five persons named in true bills In the last few days. The indictments grew out of charges that many per sons were illegally registered. SCULPTOR PRIZE IS WON BY LABORER Glasgow, Scotland, April 3. A Scottish iron molder startled ' Glas gow art circles by taking honors at the Socialist art exhibition with his jplaster statue called "The Runner." Well-known sculptors, unaware of the artist's identity, declared - that 'The Runner" must be the work of a great foreign artist. John Longden, the laborer sculp tor, has never attended an art school Urges Steps to Beautify and Im prove the City Mrs. F. G. Coryell, . Local Better Homes Chairman Active in Suggestions as .to Work Miss Jessie Baldwin of Weeping Water assistant county extension agent and county chairman of Better Homes,' has called a meeting of the local chairmen of which Mrs. F. G. Coryell is one, April 8th at Weeping Water, to discuss the possibilities for promoting an outline of definite cam paign to be followed. Mrs. Coryell would value highly any suggestion from the heads of or ganizations or individuals to add to the list she has gleaned from the Woman's club and from articles read from the Journal, in regard to plans for the betterment of our surround ings in the city. We have reasons to call the year 1930 an outstanding year, the new bridge over the - Missourf river and the Livingston road, opens another entrance to Plattsmouth, In which a much larger area of the city is in full view. Heretofore, strangers must pass over Washington highway on the north, Chicago avenue on the south or pass the entire length of Main street over the low road to the ferry. all of these approach are on low level. . The Livingston road on the contrary, leads you to the higher points' where almost the entire city is in view. Let us make the year 1930 an all-'round city campaign. A building not worth painting should be taken down, the alleys swept of all unused buildings. Care should be taken to fill up all unused wells. The mayor and council's attention should be called to watch the fine growth of our new Automobile Grave yard between 3rd and 4th street on Pearl. There are six families living on the same one-half block. This ground should be used for a beauti ful court, with flowers and playthings for the children in these homes. This is also the back view for . the many families living in upper apartments over the business buildings in that block, some of them among the first families in town. Also this misused ground is the first glimpse the stranger receives of our Main street, as he comes over the Livingston road. To allow this half block to be so ruined is in sharp contrast to last year when on the other side of the street Messrs. John and August Cloidt made a beautiful green terrace out of the ground In front of their lum ber yard. Let us all do our part in making the 1930 campaign a success. - MRS. F. Q. CORYELL, ; : Local Chairman Better Homes CHECKS UP DELINQUENTS Mrs. Lottie Rosencrans, county probation officer, was out in the county Friday to check up a num ber of cases that had been reported of children not being in attendance at school, there being a number in various sections that were inter viewed and arrangements made to have the children back in school on Monday. One especially distressing- case was found by Mrs. Rosencrans where a girl of some fourteen years was found out of school and her condi tion such that she was unable to attend school owing to the lack of proper clothing and the inability of her relatives to assist her in-, this re gard. Mrs. Rosencrans was able to secure some clothing here and with the assistance of W. G. Kieck, head of the local Red Cross, enough money was secured to provide other needed articles and the girls can now at tend school. Mrs. Rosencrans is kept very busy with her work over the county and has secured some very fine results of her tactful handling of the office and understanding and appreciation of the conditions which are to be handled in the different cases. - CAMP FIRE NOTES .

Miss Mapes gave fitting devotional for opening of meeting after which regular busi ness was taken : up. Departments were urged to bring reports of work done that It might be learned how near the goals .-on the "Uplifted Cross" were to , completion. One of these was successfully reached when on Saturday March 22 the auxiliary held the anniversary of Founder's Day program and party. The Stand ard Bearers and their mothers were invited as special .guests, their Coun selor being Mrs. E. H. Wescott, also a member of the auxiliary. That program opened with piano solo by Marjoria Arn after which Mrs. Arn gave devotionals on "Mothers' re sponsibility for daughter's under standing the Bible" with duet by Jean Hayes and Marjorie Arn, Break Thou the Bread of Life. Miss Mapes read the poem on Founder's Day and a number of the' Standard Bearers gave a playlet "Florence's Decision," Christ call to youth. This was fol lowed by a demdristration on "The Next Step" given by members of the auxiliary. This step is the work to be accomplished this next year after the Sixtieth Anniversary and is the support of education and trained workers in the foreign field. The pro gram closed with a solo "This Is My Task" by Jean Hayes. Then the party began. Four large cakes were placed upon the center table bearing all told, sixty candles, for the years passed and from the center of the table rose the tall white cathedral candle representing the year of onward, upward, forward, to know Christ better and make Him known around the world. After the candle ceremony, cakes were cut and guests were served with coffee and Ice cream during a social half hour. Thus was reported one of the pleas ant events of a busy year. To return to the regular meeting of the month Mrs. C. C. Wescott then gave the lesson in her interesting way on the "Jew in this country, compar ed to his life in other lands." Mys tery box questions were then dis cussed led by Mrs. Ella Kennedy, while the ' hostess served refresh ments. Miss Shawhan having arriv ed, a very interesting letter was read by her from her former school In Forchon, China, where the Standard Bearers and Auxiliary had sent a Christmas box.

The re sult was very close with forty-seven voting for the plant and forty-six against the proposition.
