An old feud be tween two brothers, which began in a dispute years ago over a 12-foot strip of land, is expected to be set tled soon by the generosity of Nor folk city council. The brothers are Henry and David Busch. Years ago they quarreled when a surveying error gave one of them 12 fet of property the other thought belonged to him. City Engi neer H. H. Tracy offered the solution. He suggested the city give David Busch without cost 12 fet of the street in front of their place. The street, he pointed out, is 14 feet wider than the regulation width of Norfolk streets, anyway. "The city would be giving away 12 feet of a street it doesn't want," said Mayor J. R. Carter, who favors the idea. A survey is to be made within a few days when a final de cision will be made. WHAT RELIEFERS BELIEVE New York. Approximately half the persons on federal relief rolls believe that politics plays a part in the handling of money they receive, according to an announcement made by the American Institute of Public Opinion here. The institute has just finished sounding out opinion on the subject in a nationwide poll which covered a cross section of all classes of voters in every state. The question asked was: "In your opinion does politics play a part in the handling of relief in your local ity?" The vote of persons on relief fol lows : Yes 49 percent. No 25 percent No opipion 26 percent The national weekly poll of the in stitute of public opinion has been described by Time magazine as "prob ably as accurate a sample of public sentiment as is available." TAKE $1,469 PAYROLL New York. Three robbers held up Miss Augusta Kerman in an ele vator and escaped with a $y,469 pay roll. Miss Kerman was returning from a bank to the offices of her employer, the Weingartens Dress company. illll " a" - TI.U. l.mM HL II- LIIJ I Plattsmouth, Tues., Wed.

Filled Milk Law Attacked in the Courts State on Defensive Claims Proper Ex ercise of Its Powers Brief of Medical Assn. Presented. The appeal 01 Secretary Banning of the state department of agricul ture from a decision of Judge Dineen of Douglas county declaring uncon stitutional the state law prohibiting the sale of milk to which has been added any other fat or oil other than butterfat, was argued and submitted to the supreme court Wednesday. The action was brought by the Carolene Products company, a Michigan cor poration, which manufactures a compound of evaporated skimmed milk with 6 percent coconut oil. The company, maintains that its products are wholesome and nutri tious and not deleterious to. health; that the law violates constitutional guarantees and is an unlawful exer cise of the police power, which can be invoked only to protect the public health, whereas it is attempted to prevent the. sale of proper food products. It is also claimed that the law is discriminatory, and an arbi trary and unreasonable interference with private business. For the state it was argued that the legislature may enact laws of ab solute prohibition if deemed neces sary to adopt such measures to guard against and suppress what it is free to regard as a public evil, and that in this case the act is a proper exer cise of the police power because it seeks to prevent the sale of a prod uct lacking in vitamin A, a dietary essential. It was insisted that this results in a deficient diet from which a train of physical evils may follow. The possibility of fraud was em phasized because it is difficult for purchasers to distinguish between filled and evaporated rnilk as these are canned and marketed. A brief of the Nebraska State Medical association in support of the state's position was presented for the court's consideration. In it the claim is made that where a product lacks essential elements for proper nutri tion it is a harmful one to the public health and welfare, and this is es pecially so where it is advertised as being better than milk and sold by stores for whole milk products. RULES FOR PRESS FREEDOM Pierre, S. D. Holding that the "need for a free and unfettered press is perhaps more urgent in this coun try today than ever it has been be fore," the state supreme court over turned the conviction of two Aber deen newspapermen on a contempt of court charge resulting from edi torial criticism of a circuit court judge. While it reversed the lower court in the four year old case, the supreme court held the contempt pro ceedings were "proper and entirely justifiable" with sufficient authority to sustain "conclusions and judg ment." It concluded, however, the reversal would "best promote the public welfare." POSTHUMOUS MEDAL Washington. Award of a post humous congressional medal of honor to the "late Brig. Gen. William Mitchell who resigned from the army after being suspended on half pay for criticism of aviation standards, was provided in a bill passed by the sen ate and sent to the house. Mitchell, one time chief of the army air corps, died Feb. .19 last. Republican Delegates to the Co. Convention Convention ol 144 Delegates to As semble Kere Thursday After- C'Clock.

COMMITTEE WANTS FLEET Washington. The construction of 54 new naval auxiliary vessels in the next ten years at an estimated cost of 175 millions was approved by the house naval affairs committee. Its action on a program designed to raise auxiliary ship strength to needs of a treaty navy game on tne neeis or proposal by Adwmiral Standley, chief of naval operations, that two new battleships be built. Admiral Stradley's request for au thorization to proceed with laying the keels of the battleships is now under consideration by President Roosevelt. It has not been submitted to congress. The 54 auxiliary vessels will have a total displacement of 221,000 tons. The navy department, which has en dorsed the program, favored a blan ket tonnage authorization rather than authorization for specific ships on the ground that changing condi tions might require revision of plans. Chairman Vinson (., Ga.) assured members of the navy high command his committee would give prompt at tention to any changes needed. He contended, however, the bill would be pushed thru congress more read ily if authorization for specific ves sels were carried in the bill. Inflated op ornnarv dollars either kind will still buy most if expended in your home commun ity, where a part is retained .to help meet the tax ouraen and other community obligations.
