Attorney General Ccoa said Thursday a 1933 tax law had made it virtually impossible for most of the state's counties and school dis tricts to operate when they have any bonded indebtedness. His statement followed a conference with County Attorney Ecal of Omaha and Robert Smith, clerk of the Douglas county di.-trict court, seeking a solution for Douglas county's pn dicament. The law, which caused the trouble, pro vides that delinquent taxes shall be applied first to di.-charge any unpaid obligation cf the year for which they wc-re levied and then be paid into a bond sinking fund. "That means in the case of coun ties," Coed r.a::l, "that ail the real estate taxes levied lust year, which ordinarily are used to pay this year's running expense-, can't be used un less paid before they be-ccme delin quent March 1." He said if a taxpayer waited until March 2 to pay his tares, the money would have to go to the bend sinking fund. In the case of schools, delin quent taxes paid up to Juiy 1 could te used, but any paid after then would have to go to the bond fund. Good said he had found no solu tion as yet but would study the mut ter to see if there is any way the law might be held unconstitutional. Seek Court Test. Scottsbluff, Neb. Tiie Scottsbluff board of education has invited a num ber of other school boards to share the cost pro rata of instituting a court test of the new rtate law which stipulates that back tax collections cannot be used for current operating expenses of schools but must be ap plied to outstanding bonds or other obligations. Local board members declare the rxkcol systems are threatened be cause of the high delinquency rate. MoFt of the taxes being paid now, they assert, are on delinquent taxes and threaten to deprive districts of necescary operating funds. Norfolk and several ether cities have been approached cn the proposal of join ing in a test suit and sharing the expense. Fund of 950 Million for CWA Given Approval Bill Passes the Senate and Measure Goes to Conference Between the Two Houses. Washington. Feb. S. The senate tonight passed the administration bill appropriating 950 million dol lars additional for civil v.orks and relief grants to the states after ad ministration forces had defeated over whelmingly republican independent efforts to boost the total. It now goes to conference with the house. The decision was reached with out a roll call after Senator Cutting (rep., X. M.) had lost 57 to 10 an amendment to raise the fund to $2,- 500,000.000 two billion dollars of it for civil works and Senator La Follette (rep.. Wis.) had been de feated 52 to 14 in an effortto increase the total to $1,500,000,000. Seven and a half hours of spirited debate preceded passage, members being held several hours after din ner so as to leave tomorrow free for a special aviation contempt trial. Instructions to Conferees. Senator McCarran (dem., Xev.) won by 42 to 19 an amendment re quiring all state relief and civil works directors to be appointed by the pres ident and confirmed by the senate. He obtained a promise from Senator McKellar (dem., Tenn.), in charge of the bill, that the senate conferees would come back to the floor for an other vote before giving in on the proposal in conference. McCarran raid he offered the amendment in view of the wide pub licity given charges of "scandal and fraud" in connection with adminis tration of the two relief projects. He thought the senate should scrutinize those who are selected to spend the huge sums. Opposition of La Follette. La Follette opposed the amend meent on th ground that some of the relief grants in states have to be matched by state funds and he did not believe presidential appointees should be permitted to dispense state moneys. McKellar said Harry L. Hopkins, civil works and relief administra tor, had told the appropriations com- Clover Seed White Blossom Sweet Clover $3.50 per Bushel (Bags Included) FREDERICK SEED CO.

State Offers Kansas Truce in Truck War ITebraskans to Ask Governor Lan don'? Executive Order to Allow Eeciprocal Agreement. Tcpeka, Kan., Feb. 7. An execu tive order to permit full reciprocal agreement for truckers between Kan sas '.nd Xebraska, now barred by Kansas statutes, will be asked by Governor Alf Landon by Xebraska highway officials and truckers Fri day at 10 a. m., it was agreed at an informal conference here Wednes day. Xebraskans meeting Wednesday with the Kansas corporation commis sion, highway department and ve hicle commission, included A. C. Til ley, Lincoln, representing Governor Bryan in the highway department; former State Senator Kenneth S. Wherry, Pawnee City; J. A. McGuire, Wymore. Gage County Truckers as sociation; Bayard Clark, Falls City, Richardson county truckmen; E. F. Armstrong, Auburn, and W. H. Kaths, Lincoln. Tilley's Suggestion. Others m the conference were L. D. Ferguson, secretary-treasurer, and Stuart Simmons, attorney for the Contract Motor Carriers association; Floyd Shield, attorney for the motor carrier department, and Carl New comer, Kansas vehicle commissioner. Tilley suggested Xebraska trucks, complying with Xebraska laws, be given unmolested entry into Kansas and the Kansas trucks be given the same privileges. Newcomer, however, said it would be impossible to waive the port of entry or ton-mileage laws. The statutes require trucks to enter through certain ports to be checked for proper licenses, and if not reg istered, drivere are required to pay a fee for use of state highways in lieu of the ton-mileage tax. "Clearance of trucks at ports of entry is setting up the sov ereign right of one state over another and therefore is con trary to the Constitution," Clark said. Part of Revenue. Former enator Wherry urged all additional license fees be eliminated, pointing out that in Xebraska a com mercial license fee is the sole charge while in Kansas the license fee is only a part of the revenue, the rest including ton mileage tax, permit fees and similar assessments. "If full reciprocity agreement is not worked out between these two states," declared Ferguson. "Kansas is going to be in the unfortunate situation of refusing its own citizens the privilege of the road as offered by one of its sister states." GROOM INJURED AT PARTY Omaha. Alfred Zimmerman, Her man, will have ample reason to re member Lis honeymoon. He's spend ing it at a hospital, his broken right arm trussed above his cot as the re sult of a fall suffered on the evening of his wedding day.

At the height of the party several guests started pulling his bride out doors and Alfred, dashing to the res cue, slipped on an icy patch. His injuries included a compound frac ture and a torn elbow joint. He was brought to a hospital immediate ly and was released three days later only to return for an operation to re move splinters. 'Semi-Skilled' PayforCWA is Protested Labor Leaders Say That There is No Basis for Classification Ask Interpretation. Xebraska CWA and state labor of ficials Thursday agreed to seek an intei pretation from Washington au thorities cf "semi-skilled" wage rates, chief xoint of controversy between the officials and union leaders. Federal Relief Agent Haynes was instructed to ask for ari interpreta tion, after an afternoon conference in which Xebraska labor federation heads voiced strong criticism of any semi-skilled rates and charged that even if such a basis were justified, it was being flagrantly abused by coun ty CWA directors thruout the state. "Of all the plastering, painting, welding, brick laying, carpentering that has been done under the CWA in Lincoln," said Frank Coffey, coun sel for labor groups, "only five men have been pid the ?1.20 an hour prescribed for skilled labor." Rcy M. Brewer, Grand Island, pres ident of the State Federation of La bor; ,Britt Fryer, Lincoln Central Labor union, and Fred Eissler of Lincoln, former state labor president, attacked the whole principle of semi skilled rates. They said the unions never had recognized such a classi fication, that the federal government intended the semi-skilled wage to ap ply only to helpers to skilled labor ers and that the application of this classification in Xebraska had de prived workers of the wages due them under federal orders. Haynes explained that the semi skilled wage rates had been applied under what he believed were prop erly interpreted instructions from Washington. He offered to ask a fur ther interpretation to fix responsi bility for wages. George Hodge, federal re-employment officer, raid in most cases in Xebraska, semi-skilled wages had been fixed at the prevailing rate of union labor in that community. Cof fey said, however, there were many exceptions 1o this. He said county CWA directors arbitrarily limited the skilled classification on jobs. Labor representatives at the con ference also included Paul R. Chap man, A. X. Delhay, Charles Simon' and Charles Maycock of Lincoln. STOCK BROKER CONVICTED Hastings, Xeb. George E. Boggs, 59, securities dealer here, was con victed by a district court jury on a charge ofembezzling stocks valued at 12,308.50 in dealings with Dr. J. V. Beghtol, pioneer Hastings physician. Boggs, a former business college executive and veteran of the Spanish-American and World wars, was charged with failure to return to Doctor Beghtol stock which he re ceived and was to have sent to Xew York to exchange for a modified form of the same company's securities. His defense was that he was hand ling stocks for a large number of clients, was caught short and was unable to get sufficient stock of the modified form to meet the obligation to Doctor Beghtol. He admitted he was indebted to the doctor in the amount he was charged with em bezzling, but contended this was the result of a shortage in buyer and seller transaction. His attorneys in dicated they will seek a new trial. FIND TEXAS MAN SLAIN Zavalla, Tex.
