TYDINGS AFTER BROOKHART
Washington In reply to criticism
of his own recent attack on prohibi
tion. Senator Tydings, Maryland,
took occasion to inform the senate
Tuesday that Senator Brookhart, the
republican dry from Iowa, "really
is a remarkable man."
Tydings referred to the Iowan as
"Police Chief Brookhart, Agriculture
Secretary Brookhart, Secretary of the
Treasury Brookhart. Director of the
Census Brookhart, and Attorney Gen
eral Brookhart.
Brookhart had found fault with
statistics given on a series of charts
with which Tydings had lined the
walls of the chamber for his prohi
bition speech. The Marylander said
the Iowan had corrected them from
his "own statistics which he did
not show us," and had asserted the
charts were based on information cir
culated by the Association Against
the Prohibition Amendment.
In fact, Tydings declared, he per
sonally secured the statistics from
the government departments. Then
he saluted Brookhart with the titles
of the department heads.
"It seems futile," added Tydings,
"to try to controvert such empty,
imaginary statements.

Rid Nation of
Communism is
Flea to House
Representative Sirovich Demands
Chil3 .Labor Abolishment; ;
' Urges Aged Pensions
Washington, April 8. In a blister
ing attack -upon communism, Repre
sentative Sirovich (D. ), cf New York,
in the house Tuesday, urged the na
tion to 'put its own house in order,"
that it may better meet the danger
of communistic propaganda.
Four requisites for "improving the
temple, of. democracy in the United
States," he said, were:
1. Abolition of child labor.
2. Scientific treatment of the un
employment situation.
C. Establishment of old-age pen--sions.
4. Counteract the effect of great
industrial mergers.
Defends Children.
"Children unaer 16 years of
age should never be compelled
through the force of economic
circumstances to work in the
mill, the mine, the loom or fac
tory," said Sirovich.
"Capital has no right to of
fer their humble bodies in the
quarries of industry, to compete
with labor that justly and right
fully belongs to the older men."
In a land of plenty of prosperity,
he said, 5,000,000 people without
employment is a tragedy. It is a sad
commentary upon the civilization of
our day that men and women with
families and children dependent upon
them, willing to work, should be un
able to find employment.
Pensions Are Urged.
"If patriotism inspires us to
pension the soldier, how much
more patriotic is it to pension
the old fathers and mothers.
, "Most important, we must
counteract the effects of mer
gers, concentrations and combin
ations of big business, which are
threatening to exterminate , the
middle class."
In Russia it is the bullet, whereas
in America it- is the ballot; Sirovich
said. He condemned the anti-church
and anti-religion drive of the Soviet
regime as contrary to justice. Oma

Falls City Fire
Takes One Life;
Loss $250,000
Business Block Swept; Explosion
Menaces Courthouse 3 Chain
Stores Suifer Damage
Falls City, Nob., April 7. Fire
which bmke out here at 4:15 p. m.
today took the life of one fireman
and caused loss of about a quarter
million dr-llars. The flames swept
nearly all of a block of business
buildings on the principal street, and
threatened for a time to damage the
Richardson county courthouse. Cus-e
of the blszo had not been determin
ed early tonight.
The fire wr.s not checked for sev
eral hours. Fire equipment from Au
burn, and from Hiawatha, Kans.,
was hastened h-re to give aid to the
two local trucks and calls were sent
for r.id to Nebraska City and Ham
burg, la.
The man killed was H. 11. Kemp
Ira,' 48, a blacksmith, and member
cf the volunteer fire department.
While fighting the fire in the J. C.
Fenney department store, he col-
la r.sed. He died about 10 minute.-
later. Doc-tors Bocse and Green,
who attended, said he haa breamed
flame into his lungs.
The fire was declared under con
trol at f) p. m. though firemen were
to continue on duty all night, the
debris still burning steadily. No
further danger of spread of tne
flames was feared at that hour, how
ever.
Penney Store Ruined.
The Penney store, in a two story
building owned by a firm of which
John N. Morehead and Governor
Weaver arc members, was the heav
iest loss, estimated at 50 thousand
for stock and fixtures, rjid GO thous
and dollars for the building.
Next dcor on the north, ihe Piggiy
Wiggly store :.r.d building, one story,
was destroyed, with total of 30 thcu
sar.d dollars' loss.
To the south of Penney was the
McLcllan five ard 10 cent sirre. two
story, a total loss f-et at 40 thousand
dollars fcr stock, fixtures and build-
i V T
Damage to the Paul Hessler shop,
a landmark in Falls City for nearly
four decades, was estimated at 30
thousand dollars.
Schock's department store, cue cf
Fall.- City's largest, suffered unesti
niated damage, chiefly from water
and smoke. It is a two-story Luild
irg. A cafe at the north end of the
block, next beyand the Piggiy Wiggly
store, also was damaged.
Fl:e Store in Panic.
The fire was discovered by Autie
pii r.i.n employe cf the Southeastern
Nebraska. Telephone .i. company ex
change. He wtrs -walking in the alley
and saw flames coming out the ' Mo
ment window of the Penney store.
He turned in the alarm.
-Almost at the same instant the fire
br-kr1 through from the basement
r,nto the first floor of the store. Clerks
jir.d custom rs fied in near panic.
M. C. Isham. manager, escaped by
leaping from his mezzanine balcony
office, running out the door just be
hind the last of the clerks.
Some of the customers who fied
hr.stily carried babies in arms.
Hardly had the Penney store hpp.
emptied when an explosion eocurrod.
Flnmes r-hot to the very deers of the
courthou.-e, across Store street to
the east, witnesses said. Within a
few seconds the flames had rpread to
the adjoining stores, and three build
ings were blazing when firemen ar
rived. Several automobiles in the
street also caught fire. One explod
ed r.s the gas tank was fired.
Origin is Unkncn.
Mr. Isliam. who occupied the home
of Governor Weaver, said he had
no idea of the cause of the fire. Fire
inspectors have surveyed all Falls
C'tv buildings recently, he said, and
eallod the Miier-Morehead-Weavcr
structure in which his store was lo
cated one of the cleanest in the city.
At an errly hour Monday night
estimates of loss were near the quar
ter million mirk, with more than
100 thousand dollars' worth of build
ings and stocks still menaced.
All local telephone communic'-ticn
was crinpled. Long distance lines
were still in use, however.

the assisting firemen, had a narrow
escape when he fell into the base
ment at the McLellan store. He sav
ed himself by holding to the fire
hose.' Other firemen hauled him out
with the hose line. Another man
was reported to have fallen into the
basement and to have been saved in
the same way.
Ed Coatney of Falls City suffered
injuries to his head when struck by
falling brick.
Fire Chief John Mosiman at 7:30
p. rv; was still unable to offer a
theory on the cause of the fire nor
on the cause of the explosion which
occurred in the Penney basement.

DENY MASONIC TAX FREE PLEA
Lincoln, April 8. An appeal ask
ing exemption of the Scottish Rite
temple from taxation on the grounds
that it is used for religious, chari
table and educational purposes, was
denied by District Judge Broady
Tuesday.
. Pointing to the fact that a statute
governing exemptions pecifies exclu
sive use of a building for religious,
charitable or educational purposes,
Ljudge Broady held that the use of
the local building could not be so
construed. The' supreme court, he
said, had rendered similar opinions in
previous eases.-

Higher Grades
for University
Entrance Urged
Dean Sanford of University of
Georgia, Advocates Competi
tive Procedure.
Athens, Ga. "Our institutions re
cognize that they must increase the
severity of the standards for entrance
and for graduation and they must in
sist that competitive procedure shall
receive recognition," declared Dean
S. V. Sanford in explanation of new
regulations adopted at a recent meet
ing of the University of Georgia fac
ulty. Under a new regulation, high
school graduates entering the uni
versity by certificate must have
grades "at least one step above the
passing grade when letters are used,
or above the passing percentage grade
by at least one-fourth of the differ
ence between the passing grade and
100 per cnt" in 10 of the required
15 units. A year hence this require
ment will apply to 12 of the required
15 units. Students who cannot meet
these scholarship standards will be
required to take entrance examin
ations in the subject in which they
have inferior high school records.
Another new requirement defines
the status of the special student, and
is designed to limit the enrollment of
those who are not candidates for de
grees. "It is specifically emphasized
that mere attainment of any given
age does not constitute adequate
qualifications for admission as a spe
cial student, but no student less than
20 years of age will be admitted to
this status," the rule states.
Under the new rule, special stu
dents are not eligible to take part in
student activities or to be initiated
into a fraternity or a sorority. Chan
cellor Charles M. Snelling told the
university faculty that not only do
many students come to college with
a view only to admissioji to a frater
nity, but many parents are motivated
to send their children to college with
only this end in view.
A third new regulation of the uni
versity provides for a six-year course
leading to both an undergraduate and
a law degree. By enrolling in the
specified combination courses, the
student completes the major require
ments of his arts degree during the
first three years, and at the end of
his first law year receives the arts
degree. Two years later he is award
cd the law degree.
Perhaps at no time since the thir
teenth century has the desire for
knowledge so nearly reached a mass
movement, and while much of the
demand for education is genuine, per
haps much of it is spurious. The mo
tives which lead people to seek edu
cation divide students into three
types: (1) those who are preparing
for a professional degree; (2) those
who love learning; and (3) those
who think a bachelor's degree is a
social necessity or that it is necessary
to have college contacts."
Smoke Veils
Auburn After

i Mysterious Fire Levels Four Busi
ness Buildings; Ten Barrels
of Oil in Explosion
Auburn. Neb.. April 6. Fire of
(Undetermined origin Sunday after
noon wiped out a portion of the south
business section here, with damage
estimated at $50,000.
Four buildings were totally de--rtroyed
by the flames, believed to
have spread to three of them from
an implement shed used by the coun
ty for storing tractors and equip
ment used in county highway work.
This was among the structures de
molished. Firemen were hampered in their
work by a high wind which carried
sn.'olco from the fire for many mil?s.
The town was darkened by a heavy
black veil of thick smoke which arose
from the implement shed after 10
barrels of tractor cil had exploded.
Hesidence Bums
So rapidly did the flames gain
headway after the blaze once started
that the fire fighters found it im
possible to confine their attention to
the blazing buildings and contented
themselves, for the most part, to ex
tinguishing minor conflagrations
when a dozen residences caught fire.
One of them was burned to the
ground.
The heaviest loss was suffered by
the Fred Schiefer blacksmith shop
and by the building occupied by H.
Bellas, local contractor, all of whose
business records were lost in the
fire.
No one was injured by the flames,
which were brought under control
before 6 o'clock. Fire officials are at
a loss to dtermine the cause of the
fire. Bee-News.

Rent Scandal
Cbaxges Corruption 'to the Core;
Says U. S. Mulcetd of Millions
in New 'Eacket'
"Washington, April S. A new rac
ket renting postoffices to the gov
ernment costing the nation millions
annually, was aired in the senate
Tuesday.
In sponsoring a resolution for a
sweeping senatorial inquiry into the
government's contracts for postofflce
rentals, amounting to $18,000,000 a
year,. Senator Blaine of Visconsin,
charged that "fraud, misrepresenta
tion and corruption" reeked in the
contracts.
The system was denounced by
Senator Nye fo North Dakota, who
said it hid a scandal that "smelled
to high heaven" and would "rival
the Teapot Dome scandal."
He revealed that $150,000,000 in
securities had been sold to the public
on postoffioe lease3 which, he charg
ed, were worth only one-third that
amount.
Centers in St. Paul
The center cf attack was a $63,
000 item for the rental of the St.
Paul (Minn.) postoffice building ia
the post office appropriation bill.
The houre struck out the provis
ion hut the senate committee restor
ed it ard the fight was to once more
knock it out of the bill.
Representative Mass of Minnesota,
who first called attention to the St.
Paul posiolfice scandal, charging
"fraud and corruption," listened to
the debate, as did Tostmaster Gen
eral Brown.
Dun'ng the debate, Nye made the
startling statement that Alexander
Fisher, an investigates for the sen
ate committee, "died two years ago
under what I consider suspicious cir
cumstances while he was investigat-
I ing postofSce leases for me."
Nye g.ve no details on Fisher's
death nor what leases he was in
quiring into at the time.
Float Bonds
Declaring that the St. Paul situ
ation v;ai "a fair reflection of the
situation throughout the country,"
Nye asserted that "everybody who
Las looked into it has found it wis
rotten to the bottom."
Nye charged that the promoters
of the St. Paul postoffice building,
which has been assessed at $317.
00 0 and for which the government
pays an annual rental of $120,000,
floated a bond issue of $750,003
through the firm of Jacob Kulp &
Co. of Chicago, before they had th
government contract.
The North Dakota n aLo charge I
that the securities were sold on tie
representation that the lease was
"noncancelable" when, in truth, it
was cancelable. Later, he said the
promoters secured a noncancelab;-j
contract by slightly reducing the
rental . Bee-Ne ws.
