SALAD DA YSARE HERE!
"-
By MARYE DAHNKE,
Kraft Cheese Institute
Fashion's official opening for
salads comes in April! Spring
showers may not be the best
thing in the world for spring
bonnets, but there's no doubt that
they bring out the full beauty of
those tempting salad beauties,
rosy radishes, ruddy baby beets,
richly ripe early strawberries.
Even white new onions are in
nocent enough to bring tears of
pleasure to the eyes of any salad
lover.
Dressed in their very best,
salads of . vegetables, fruits or
chicken or fish all have their dis
tinctive style, and their special
goodness. A preview of the salad
parade shows that dressings make
the salad as surely as clothe3
make the man.
The newest style trend in salad
dressings for spring is the mild-
flavored, all - purpose dressing
which is a cross between mayon
naise and old-fashioned boiled
dressing. Neither too sharp, nor
too mild, neither too tart nor too
oily, this dressing epitomizes
American tastes for a large num
ber of salads. Both fruit and
vegetable salada respond dc-
KEPOST OF ACCIDENTS

struck trains which were standing,

Hopkins Halts
Relief Pover
of Talmadge
Action Follows Order by Eoosevelt to
Keep Politics Out of Program
Close Restriction.
Washington. Fresh instructions
from President Roosevelt to keep poli
tics out of relief Friday night pre
saged new moves by the administra
tion to nail the lid on public works
and relief coffers in several states.
Although he declined to comment
on various federal-state tangles over
relief and work funds, the president
reiterated hi3 stand against mixing
relief and politics.
Heznoves Connection.
Harry L. Hopkins, relief adminis
trator, removed the last connection
Governor Talmage cf Georgia had in
the handling of relief money. Coin
cidentally, Secretary Ickes was con
sidering cancelling public works proj
ects in Louisiana.
The Georgia development climaxed
a series of hot encounters between
the governor and both Hopkins and
Ickes. Ickes action hinged upon a
measure enacted by the Louisiana
legislature, called into session by
Senator Long, with whom he has
been engaged in an exchange of dis
putacious words for over a week.
Hopkins already had taken over the
handling of relief in Louisiana.
His action in Georgia amounted
principally to cutting Talmadge off
from all matters pertaining to relief.
Hopkins sent Georgia $1,500,000
through Miss Gay Shepperson, state
relief administrator, for its April
needs and arranged to supply money
to Pennsylvania and Missouri.
Close Restriction.
The PWA administrator also has
laid down a close restriction upon
the amount Georgia may get for pub
lic works because that state failed to
enact legislation which would im
prove the type of securities given for
public works loans.
Hopkins is negotiating with the
governors of six other states to secure
from them the contributions for re
lief which he argues they should
make. These states are Tennesssee,
Florida, North and South Carolina,
Virginia and New Jersey.
Annual Allowances.
Annual allowances of $3,234,S22
for state departments and $3,770,
777 for board of control institutions
won the approval cf the state sen
ate at the completion of its first day
of work on he 1936-37 Biennial ap
priations bill.
There remained for disposal the
appropriation for institutions under
the state board of education, for
which the senate appropriations com
mittee recommended $6,681,226.
An amendment to reduce the ap
propriation for the state university
of Iowa from $2,350,000 a year as
recommended by the committee to
the $1,960,000 proposed by the gov
ernor and state comptroller was un
der consideration.
Total appropriations approved for
state departments as the bill was
taken up section by section repre
sented an increase of about $5,500
over the amount proposed by the
senate appropriations committee. The
recommendations for board of con
trol institutions were approved with
out change.
7,758 Decrease.
The allowances lor state depart
ments, as they stand, also represent
ed a decrease of about $7,75S from
the total recommended by the gov
ernor and comptroller in submitting
the Biennial askings to the assembly.
Reductions from committee recom
mendations effected through senate
actions constituted the paring of
$6,285 from the department of agri
culture total, $6,200 from the animal
health allowance, and $2,500 from
the county achievement shows appro
priation. Boosts in the salaries of several
state officials were included among
the increases agreed upon over the
figures recommended by the commit
tee. Advances also included $1,500
additional for mine inspectors, $10,
000 for handicapped children, $5,750
to cover itcm3 omitted from the ap
propriation for adjutant general's de
partment, and $2,500 for education
al aid for World war orphans.
TRUCK III DITCH, TWO HURT
Fairbury, Neb. Bernard Minton,
30, and Manzell Rico, 23, suffered
injuries the extent of which were
not determined immediately when
the Junker brothers oil truck In
which they were riding plunged into
a 14-foot ditch near Chester. The
men were brought to a Fairbury hos
pital in an ambulance, and it was be
lieved they were not injured serious
ly. Apparently defective mechanism
caused the truck to hurtle into the
ditch and turn over. The truck was
wrecked.

Change in State
Relief Head Due
Soon is Report
Nebraska Congressmen Seek to Have
liebraskan Appointed to Place ;
Eanning: Is Suggested.
A report was current at Washing
ton Friday that Rowland Haynes,
federal relief administrator for Ne
braska, is to be transferred and a
Nebraskan named to direct tho state's
joint state and federal relief setup.
Haynes has been criticized by dem
ocratic leausrs in the state, by Ne
braska democrats at Washington, and
much pressure is known to have been
placed on Federal Relief Administra
tor Hopkin to make a change. The
criticism has been chiefly that Haynes
had too many republicans in admin
istrative position and that a Nebras
kan, more familiar with the state's
people and background, should be in
charge.
Arrival in Washington of L. E.
Williamson, former NRA director for
Nebraska, who was replaced this
week by John Rine of Omaha, added
fuel to the reports curren in Nebras
ka democratic circles that a change
was immient. His position was view
ed in some quarters as having been
somewhat similar to that of Haynes.
Senator Burke, one of those who
in the past has directed criticism at
Haynes, said he tid not know of any
thing in the making which would
lead to a change.
"If there should be a vacancy in
that office," Burke said, however, "I
would think that a man cf the type
of George Proudfit of Lincoln, W. B.
Banning of Union or A. C. Shallen
berger of Alma might be named, or if
a woman was to be given the place
that someone like Mrs. Howard Sax
ten of Omaha would be suitable."
Proudfit is treasurer of the dem
ocratic state central commitee in Ne
braska. Banning, a former state sen
ator and prominent orchardist, was
an unsuccessful candidate for gover
nor in the 1934 democratic primary
but has been mentioned frequently
as a possible appointee by Governor
Cochran to a major state govern
ment post. Shallenberger is a for
mer congressman and governor. Mrs.
Saxton was one of the leaders in the
Eurke campaign in Omaha last year.
Frank D. Throop of Lincoln, chair
man of the state relief committee,
has an appointment with Hopkins
in Washington April 2 6 cn his return
from newspaper meetings in New
York. Whether this would affect
Haynes situation was not known.
v7A2TT MARTIN INSULL BACK
Washington. Reversing an earlier
:atemcnt at a press conference, At
torney General Cummings announced
the federal government will attempt
to return Martin Insull, for a second
trial at Chicago on federal charges
resulting from collapse of the Insull
utilities.
A few hcur3 before, the attorney
general said Martin Insul's second ex
tradition would not be asked. He
was returned from Canada for the
first trial at which he, his brother,
Samuel, and other Insull associates
were acquitted on mail fraud charges.

cents a short ton on binder twine
