County Judge Eryce' Crawford reserved until Friday de-j cision on a plea in abatement by J which attorneys for Omaha ucoiues sought to show the parimutuel bet ting legislation -constitutional be-j cause of discrimination. j Defense Attorney Dan Gross point-j ed out supreme court decisions in( Missouri and New Jersey, holding that high courts in indisputed de-j eisions had held that legislatures . could not permit certain groups,! such as charitable institutions, to conduct horse racing with betting,! and put bookmakers in jail for ac-j cepting bets on other tracks outside the race enclosure. j Judge Crawford told Gross ne would agree with this viewpoint were it not for tlie fact, as pointed out by Deputy County Attorney Paul Gar ratto, that the people hemselves had written the Nebraska parimutuel law for this fact, the court and prose cutor agreed, the act would be dis criminatory and therefore unconsti tutional. Garrotto seeks to prosecute the bookies under the common gambler statute. The court will rule follow ing further argument Friday.

That Nebraska grazing land is still showing the ill effects of the 1934 drouth and overgrazing in the past, is being demonstrated in pasture tours now going on in thirty coun ties. Arthur Peterson of the college of agriculture said Wednesday after holding a tour in Jefferson county. The Jefferson tour was one of two pasture programs held Wednesday. P. H.

For the second time the Nebraska liquor commis sion Thursday was enjoined from en forcement of its rule banning joint talc of beer and liquor over the same bar. District Judge Nisley is sued a temporary injunction forbid ding enforcement of the rule, at the icquest of H. A. Teller, liquor dealer here. Tho order was enjoined by an Om aha judge last month, a few days after it was issued, and hearing in that case has been set for Sept. 10. Teller had a retail license from the state and paid occupation tax to' t-o city and he contended the order constituted "interference." The 19Cf rnte law specified "it shall be against public policy" to sell beer and li quor on the same premises, but some httorneys claim that it is not a spe cific ban. The local representative of the commission Thursday night was sought in order that papers might be served on him. Sidney, Neb. Five residents of Cleveland Heights, O., were injured critically in an automobile accident ten miles east of Sidney late Thurs day. The injured. Mr. and Mrs. Adam J. Ross, head wounds and .cisternal injuries. Not expected to live. Mrs. Rowland A. :Vertell, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Ross, driver of the car. Internal injuries, serious cuts and bruises, condition, critical. Harriet Ross, 26, jaw injuries, ser iousness undetermined. Thelma Ross. 11, internal injuries, seriousness undetermined. The accident, which was blamed on a tire blowout, caused the car to overturn. The automobile was trav eling east at a moderate rate of speed and the blowout caused it to whirl across the road, careen wildly down a ditch and come to rest on its top. A large gap was torn in the oil pave ment by the spinning car. Altho farm work and hot weather cut attendance at the Jefferson coun ty tour Wednesday, farmers going from farm to farm saw many demon strations of how pastures can be "re juvenated." The tour was planned by Agricultural Agent Andreas of Fair bury. A demonstration on the Ernest Kriesel farm, near Gladstone illus trated the value of terracing pasture land and the use of delayed pas turing. On the Albert Zwcifel farm near Fairbury (Tie" touring farmers observed some Korean lespedeza pas ture planted last spring. It lias made a good growth and with fall rains will produce pasture yet this year. The possibilities of growing brome grass for pasture land were demon strated on the Earl Snyder farm near Jansen. Planted in 1932 anrt 1933 the brome survived the drouth ol last year and provided pasture this year. On the Charles Turner farm Fairbury, the palatability of brome and native grasses was demonstrated There it Avas found that livestock rel ished the brome and left the native grasses. The tour ended late in the day with an informal discussion of bind weeds and weed identification on the W. F. Cramb farm. Arthur Peterson spoke before the gathering. The tour was arranged by Andreas in co-oper ation with his pasture committee composed of V. F. Cramb, C. C. How ell and G. T. Boone. V NEBRASKANS' WORLD TOUR Falls City, Neb.

While stale depart ment officials are continuing a study of Ambassador Bullitt's dispatches reporting speeches and action taken at the third Internationale congress in Moscow, Secretary Hull said no de cision had been made concerning any possible action by this government. Questioned on Moscow reports that Bullitt had consulted with tho utato department as to whether he should file an official proest, Hull said lie knew of no such communication fn-m the ambassador. lie reiterated, however, that Bul litt was making comprehensive re ports on the communist congrer-.j and officials here are studying them to determine whether there has been any violations of the Itooscvelt-Lit-vlnoff non-propaganda agreement.

Civilian conserva tion corps jobs have gone a-begging and knocked the recruiting program months off schedule. Official circles disclosed difficulty in enlisting U28,000 men to bring the corps up to the 600,000 enrollment contemplated by President Iicosevelt when he mapped his new relief pro gram. The full 600,000 figure is not ex pected by officials to be reached until the cold month of January or Febru ary set unemployed to treking to the forest camps. Checking up on the recruiting de lay, which had resulted in only 13S, 2C0 enlistments up to Aug. 3, Unit ed States employment service officials said reports from state headquarters showed a corps of 500,000 was the probable maximum obtainable at the end of the enlistment quota on Aug. 31. The requirements laid down by Relief Administrator Hnnfcinn that all CCC recruits come from relief fam ilies was said to be the principal rea son for difficulties of the corps. TWO HELD IN BANK RAIDS Kansas City. Two bank bandit suspects and their women companions were held in jail here by govern ment agents who arrested them at an Ozark mountain retreat. The men were Virgie J. Milton, 27, known a3 "Red" Melton, and Red Reese, 42. Arrested with - tnem were Maxine Melton, 22, said to be "Red" Mel ton's wife, and Lucile Davis, 29. Gering, Neb. Sheriff Ramsey said he was informed Ray F.

Ramsey said his first Information came from Sheriff Jack Allen of Cas per, Wyo. This information, he said, was confirmed by a telephone conver sation with a federal department of justice agent at Deadwood. Ramsey said ha believed Dubois was arrested at Deadwood under another name and later identified as the man wanted In the bank robbery case. William "Pat" King of Alliance now held in Omaha after an attempt ed jail break at Hastings, is the only other person charged with the rob bery now in custody.

In addition, after the careful analysis and study of a group of women, Dr. Moreno came to the startling conclusion mat oniy zn per cent cf women find in their commu nity men who reciprocate their friendship. Of the rest, one-fourth do not wish to make acquaintance with any man in the community. Dr. Moreno, instituting his re search under the auspices of the New York State Training School for Girls, headed by Mrs. Fannie French Morse who has been for years an active pioneer in the fields of maladjustment and community organization, recently spoke before a large group of students from more than 20 colleges and uni versities, at which time he said: "The amount of unhappiness in the world, the psychological misery of the masses is proverbial. But it remained for sociometry, the science of human interrelations, to find a yardstick for it, to estimate the amount of misery more accurately than ever done be fore. "Of a population of about 2,000 pupils in a public school, only 30 per cent are able to find mutual partners spontaneously, inemseives. 70 per cent remain unplaced, i. e., they are unable to get the partners they want In the 70 per cent are included many degrees of maladjustment; 14 percent of them are totally isolated; the re malning 56 per cent being partly iso lated. They arc wanted by someone in the group, but by the wrong per son. A study or sexual attraction In groups of adults reveals similar fig ures." Girls Fear Spinsterhocd The causes of unhappy mating and misery in the various partnerships of life are numerous, says Dr. Moreno. In iv.any cases marriages are made because the girl desires a husband spinsterhood has an ugly sound and she dreads facing life alone while see ing those she considers more fortu nate thau herself accompanied by meu. Therefore, after a time, any man who can be "hooked" is accept- as well as leading thcr.i later to a Reno. There is no doubt that the extent of sexual and marital unhappiness has never been so great as today, due to modern civilization. The edu cational, labor and cultural unit3 which in the courso of social evolu tion were split off from the family organization, do not provide tho nicmbers with an equally satisfactory amount of mutual affection. "In more primitive societies, the family was more soundly organized and so a better shock absorber. The family organization was sufficiently flexible so that its members could shift their interests from a function in which they were least wanted and least efficient to one which they wore more wanted and more efficient. Family Ties Slight Today "The wife was," this authority as serts, besides a sweetheart, a moth er, a nurse, a teacher, and a bread winner on the farm. The modern family bond, in contrast, is getting thinner and thinner. It has given up most cf its early functions to tho com munity. That is why it breaks more easily. Either we must re-establish '.he family structure of old or socio r.ietric procedures must come to aid society in balancing its disrupting tendencies. "It is r.ot only in marital relations that women find their unhappiness. It is there, usually, that they dis cover the cactlcs they built of opti mistic hopes do nst exist," Dr. Moreno points out. "They so often live up to the mo ment of their marriage in the expec tancy tbat thoy will find the adjust ment and emotional outlet they see!c. Later they find that difrercnrc-3, lack of purpose, and too much leisure, Im properly used, rap.'dly cause tho mar riage to fall into the status of b-j many others, a condition where two people find it easier to continue with their "convenient marriage" than to break up and again attempt a tearch for happiness. In time, as children ar rive, and the home in firmly establish ed, the pair "become used to each oth er s presence, and the adjustment of convenience is brought about."
