Relief Administrator Hopkins Says
When Congress Acts, More
Kay Be Allotted.
Federal Relief Administrator
Harry L. Hopkins Thursday advised
officials at state relief headquarters
at Lincoln that Nebraska was grant
ed a partial allotment of $581,000
for February relief work, approxi-
mately one-third of the amount re-
Quested. The grant received in Jan
uary was $1.761,lo0 and Adminis
trator Haynes had asked for $1,
509,466 in his budget for February.
Officials said the partial allotment
was due to a lack cf funds at Wash
ington and indicated that if congress
appropriates more money, additional
grants to Nebraska may be made for
the remainder of the month.
Hopkins notified the relief head
quarters that $200,000 of the Febru
ary grant i3 earmarked for general
relief, $350,000 for drouth relief and
$17,000 for transient care. No funds
for special programs were available
at Present.
Haynes sent word from Washing
ten that Frank Throop of Lincoln,
"--aairiiiau oi uie siate reiiei commu-
a ""as i e group
fcr next Tuesday in Lincoln. A Ne
braska delegation including Haynes,
Throop, State Senator John S. Cal
lan of Odell, Rep. George E. Nickles
of Murray, is now in Washington and
is expected to return late this week.
The $1,509,466 Haynes requested
for Nebraska in February was divid
ed in his budget as follows: Gen
eral relief, $913,476; transient re
lief. $51,267; drouth relief. $361.
528; rural rehabilitation $140,995;
emeigency education, $22,700; stu
dent aid, $13,5C0.
Following announcement cf the re
duced February grant, relief officials
here revealed that the "case load"
In Nebraska is increasing steadily
and that the peak is expected In
March. Harry D. Elmore, state di
rector of the FERA relief division,
said:
"Last week our case load was in
creased by 978 families, while the
week before it increased 1,037 with
an increase of about the same num
ber during the week that preceded.
This brings our present case load
up to 48,607, which means that one
out cf every five persons in Nebraska
is receiving federal relief.
"Suit for $21,600.00 damages was
filed in District Court by Nathan Za
lot against John G. Junker, Ed Ken
ning, Walter Junker and Junker
Brothers on account of an automobile
collision, two miles south of Lincoln."

For Uniformity
in the Extradition
Laws of Nation
It.-'! TT A r -
j.v.eui ai.a no use auv anccs ifieastzre
in Force in Other States
Beclinss to Aincnd.
j After sidetracking several proposed
j amendments, the house Friday, in
committee of the whole, advanced to
third reading H. R. t5. Hanthoru
uniform extradition bill following
laws in force in a dozen ether states.
Adams, member of the Omaha dele
gation, tried unsuccessfully to insert
in several places an amendment pro
iding that a person in this state
charged with crime in seme other
state shall not be subject to extra
dition unless the offense also is de
fined as crime under the laws ot
this state.
Hanthorn and others opposed any
such tinkering with the bill, on the
theory that since it is a reciprocal
bill, the reciprocity feature should
not be endangered. Adams explain
ed that what he proposed to do is
already part of the existing law. One
argument against his proposal was
that difficulties might arise as be
tween wet and dry bordering states.
Final verdict was to respect the laws
of the sister states as well as those
of Nebraska.
Steele tried to amen" the mileage
feature for officers on extradition
business. The bill allows maximum
cf 5 cents per mile. Steele proposed
that where it is more economical to
go by auto, the maximum be 8 cents,
otherwise actual cost. Ke said the
western counties pay small wages to
their sheriffs and the latter cover
many miles for which they receive
no pay. Lack of train service, he
added, at times makes auto travel
advantageous. His proposal was
smothered. Hanthorn reminded that
under the terms cf the bill where
the crime is punishable by impris
onment in the penitentiary, the state
and not the county shall foot the
expense of extradition.
The committee on education re
ported for indefinite postponement
II. R. 184, providing that where
children are transported more than
three miles to school, the charge
shall be 5 cents for each quarter mile
instead of each half mile traveled,
for each family per day.
Revenue and taxation committee
killed H. R. 119. providing that the
value of real estate in excess cf the
valus of any mortgage taxed to
mortgagee shall be assessed and tax
ed to the mortgagor or owners.
Privileges anfd election reported
cut to general file H. R. 221. with
amendments. The bill provides that
nothing shall prevent a defeated
candidate from becoming the candi
date of his political party for the
office for which he shall have been
defeated if he shall, have been de
feated if he shall, by the campaign
committee of his party, be selected
to fill vacancy cn the ballot at the
general election. The committee
struck the provision that candidate
receiving next highest vote at the
primary shall be eligible to fill va
cancy. SWITCH THE ICC UUOPPOSED
Washington. The posteffice de
partment evidenced no opposition to
the proposal of President Roosevelt
and his special aviation commission
that control of air mail rates be
turned ever to the interstate com
merce commission. Postmaster Gen
eral Farley, wii now controls the
rates, declined comment.
From Harllee Branch, his second
assistant postmaster general, came
assurance that the department would
not eppese the transfer of authority,
especially as it might apply to cases
in which rates under present con
tracts are considered unreasonably
low. Branch said, however, that air
mail contractors should be required
to carry out their present written
agreements.
