cago Avenue.
A great many subjects were on the

the various matters.
An application of William "Gorder
for permission to place a gas tank at
his garage at Sixth and Pearl streets
was received and permission grant
ed with the tank to be placed five
feet underground and to be done
under the supervision of the streets,
alleys and bridges committee.
A communication was received
from the Plattsmouth State bank
' stating that under their sales con
tract with the city they did not pro
pose to turn over to the city the 1 16,
000 of bonds which ith as been pro
iosed to refund. The letter was re

end interest will be stopped until
r.pw refunding bonds are issued.
There was some discussion of the
matter of the Chicago avenue pav
ing and also the sewer. Mayor Lush
insky stated that the sewer work
could be carried on through the
colder weather while the work on
the paving probably would not start
until spring.
The question of reck surfacing of
the city streets as requested by a
number of the residents over the
city and which will surface a great
many badly needed roadways. These
applications are being received and
will be divided into projects for the
carrying on of the surfacing. The
surfacing of Pearl from Tenth to
Thirteenth and Locust from Eighth
to Seventh are among the proposed
districts.
Chairman Tippens of the streets,
alleys and bridges committee, re
ported that street work now was
very well caught up south of Wash
ington avenue as the county main
tainer had been used to assist in
surfacing up of the roads. The de
partment had been busy in cleaning
up after the street programs and
carnival. Mayor Lushinsky com
mended the street department for ex
cellent work in this line.
Chairman Vincent of the license
committee reported that an applica
tion had been made by George J.

sale beer business In the Hotel Platts
mouth building at Sixth and Main
streets. This was referred to the li
cense committee to investigate and
also to see as to the advertising of
the application.
Bids were received for the pur
chase of 200 feet of double strength
fire hose. The Anderson Co.... -and
United Rubber Co., were bidders and
the matter referred to the fire and
water committee for checking, a re
cess being taken. The committee
recommended that the bids be reject
ed and new bids be secured for the
meeting on Monday, October 10th.
Mayor Lushinsky stated that it
would be necessary to have exten
sion of heat to the new fire station,
that also the heating plant and water
heater should be overhauled and
placed in first class shape. This was
referred to the parks and improve
ment committee for action.
Mayor Lushinsky stated that he
had been asked by several to urge
the .creation of a parking space at
the south of the Hotel Plattsmouth
for the use of getting in and out of
the hotel by patrons with their
baggage. This was discussed at some
length by a large part of the mem
bership. It was decided to postpone
action and also to have the lot at
Seventh and Main on Pearl street
from Fourth to Third' fixed up as
regular parking spaces for the cars.
Councilman Vroman reported that
the police had handled the King
Korn Karnlval situation in excel
lent shape and that the force was

them out of the yards yhere i they
are now located.

$1,355.
City Attorney J. Howard Davis
told of a meeting at Lincoln with
the legal representatives of the Iowa
Nebraska Light & Power Co., and
that of the city of Lincoln. It had

FIRST AUTO CASUALTY
The accident in which Keith Ost,
19, of Nehawka was fatally Injured,
was the first auto, fatality: in Cass
county in 1938. the office of SherifT
Homer Sylvester announced today.
While other years have made many
white crosses along the highways of
Cass county, the record has been
clear until the unfortunate accident
that brought death to this young
man.
When the accident .occurred Ost,
Orin and Raymond Pollard and Kent
Balfour were riding on the outside
of the car of Oscar Brandt, who had
as his passengers two teachers en
route back to their school work, mak
ing seven that were riding in and
out of the Brandt car.
A passing car had stirred up dust
on the roadway that obscured the
view and Donald Campbell and
Brandt, drivers of the two cars were
unable to see through the dust and
sideswiped with the result that Ost
was caught between the cars and
crushed.
The Injured boy was taken to Om
aha by members of the Hobscheidt
family and placed in the hospital
where he died a few hours later.
Keith Ost was a son of Mr. and
Mrs. W. A. Ost and was born near
Nehawka in June 1918. He is a
graduate of the Nehawka high school.
Surviving are his parents and a sis
ter, Betty.

John C. Metcalfe Exposes Many Al
leged Activities of "Bund"
in United States.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 28 (UP)
John C. Metcalfe, agent for the
house committee ' investigating un
American activities charged today
that Nazi adherents have obtained
possession of secret construction
plans for U. S. battleships. Metcalfe,
former Chicago newspaper man who
became a committee agent, disclosed
activities of German-American bund
members, charging:
1. The bund already is advertising
an October 2 celebration of Adolf
Hitler's acquisition of the Sudeten
land, although the Sudetenlands have
not yet been acquired.
2. The bund members consider
themselves the same type of minority
as the Germans Inhabiting Czecho
slovakia's Sudetenland.
3. Nazi agents have acquired se
cret battleship plans and even have
been assigned to go on tritl runs of
the latest type battleships of the
United States navy.
5. That the German - American
bund can muster 5,000 storm troop
ers within Its own ranks and plans
to draft . such men "for a sabotage
machine' and a spy net" in event of a
German-United States war.
Metcalfe said that storm troopers
revealed that several of them "are
aviation mechanics and hinted that
they were employed by the Douglas
Aircraft corporation and also Boe
ing aircraft."
"Information has come to this com
mittee," he said "that this organiz
ation is growing and it is reported
that already a second force has been
established In Los Angeles. This fact
lends credence to the belief that the
United States may expect to see Ger
man storm troop units established
throughout the country.
