MEMBER FEDERAL DEPOSIT INSURANCE CORPORATION CONGRESS AS SEEN BY 1 KARL STEFAN Federal Reserve Bank Ownership About 100 Congressmen have joined behind a bill to make the Federal Government the real owner pf the Federal reserve banks. A bill to that effect is in the hopper and several meetings have been held by these members to start some strat egy which would give the bill real power. The strategy is first to get an organization on the democratic side and then follow up with an or ganization among the progressives on the minority side. This new movement is soon to get some im portant political publicity. Favor Anti-Lynching Bill Southern Congressmen are wor ried over the anti-lynching bill which the House*will get very soon. Southern representatives admit that the bill is embarrassing to them. One such bill passed some years ago in the House but died in the Senate. The new bill will undoubt edly pass both houses this year. The new bill is creating unusual attention and its presence in the House is taking away some of the importance of the supreme court legislation over which the Senate is fighting today. Head Gardner Former Nebraskan John Bardsee who traveled around Nebraska and different states as an oddinary gardner, has become the head'gardner of the Botanical Gar dens here. He is the producer of the American azalea. John has 120 varieties of these azalea on display in the Botanical Garden and they have attracted unusual attention. Old Inn on Site of House Building Just outside of the window of the third congressional office is a plaque which bears this inscription “site of hotel of Conard and McMunn, where boarded Thomas Jefferson and from where he went to be in augurated President, March 4, 1801.” Prior to the time the New House Office Building was con structed, an old inn occupied the ground spjtce, being torn down when excavation for the present building was started. It was in this inn where many notables in Washington lived. The name of the inn was changed in later years to Congress Hall Hotel, where once lived the Vice President of the United States, as wall as many con gressmen and Senators. However, we are advised that it was the or iginal structure knoSvn as the hotel of Conrad and McMunn, and from where Thomas Jefferson left to take his oath of office as President of the United States in 1801. Proposed Public School Aid Hearings on the bill to give fed eral aid to the various states for public school education have taken up most of the week by members of the House Committee on Education. The bill calls for an“butright grant of one hundred million dollars to the various states for education the first year, and to this fund is to be added fifty million dollars a year until the total amount has reached three hundred million dollars. Un der the proposed legislation, the Federal government would have nothing to say about the expendi ture of the money except that it go to public schools and be spent by the state governments. The bill is sponsored by the National Educa tion association and many school boards and school teachers. It is given the endorsement of the Ne braska superintendent of public In struction and many Nebraska ed ucators. The proponents of the measure are here in large numbers and are led by high officials of the N. E. A. Many state superintend ents and many eudcational experts have already testified ip favor of the bill. The claim is that many states, especially those in the south, where there is a large negro popu lation, can no longer raise enough money by taxation to meet the needs of education. The committee is giving many hoOrs to heading the proponents of the bill and the record which undoubtedly will be printed will contain valuable infor mation regarding the educational condition of our entire country. Distinguished Visitors in Capitol The British captured Washington today. The Governor General of Canada is here visiting high officials and today he was introduced to members of the House and Senate. He was accompanied by a large number of distinguished Britishers including the British ambassador, Sir Ronald Lindsay, who is inter ested in the reciprocal trade agree ments. For many days the town has been filled with foreign visitors, many of them high diplomats and representatives of foreign industry. Members who spoke among them selves following the Canadian Gov eruor’s brief talk in the House, wondered if the British are here to talk about paying us what they owe us or whether they are here to open negotiations for larger loans. Sev eral of the foreign nations have made,advanees recently for Amer ican money running into the bil lions of dollars. THE NEBRASKA SCENE , By the*Lowell Service Lincoln, Nebr.—The prologue of the democratic campaign of 1938 has been briefly sketeched in the blowoff which whisked Bill Ban ning and Tom Grass from the Gov ernor’s official family. The release of Mr. Banning as chief of the department of agri culture had been expected for some time. He will be succeeded on May 25 by Louis Bucholz of Falls City. Floyd Atkins, the hu man dynamo that whirred in the gasoline division of the department of agriculture may be recalled. Banning ordered Atkins out when the latter commanded Ed Dosek to “take your big feet off my desk.” Dosek had been employed by Ban ning as a quasi-investigator. Governor Cochran and Banning have clashed from time to time. Banning may seek the democratic nomination for governor. It is believed that Tom Gass of Kearney, who has been chairman of the liquor commission, wishes to re tire. He will be succeeded by Theo Osterman of Central City, now pri vate secretary to. the governor. There is a regiment of aspirants for the private secretaryship. Among those in the cavalcade are Howard Holtzendorff and Paul Halpine. Many staunch supporters of the unicameral look askance at the legislative council idea. They fear that another wheel within a wheel is being created; that a machine is being set up to elude responsibility to shield certain members from publicity. As for the planning board, there have been few kind words said from the ranks of common people. It is feared that this board will squander enough money in the next biennium to erect a good building somewhere that might house the state’s wards. Under the planning board scheme, the money would be frittered away and the taxpayers still have to foot the bill. The idea that seems to meet the most favor is to make a levy for building and place the responsibil ity for the planning on the state board of control, the regents of the university, and the normal board. A bill for this purpose has already been advanced. The Sutherland Tri-county water fight is assuming a more threaten ing aspect. At a meeting in Lincoln last week the public power forces decided to let Senate File 310 alone and pass separate bills to make suggested changes. LB318, to in tegrate the hydroelectric plants of the state, has the stage center. The real test of the political careers of State Auditor Price and Treasurer Jensen will come when the state board of equalization meets. Both officials have been cited as “horrible examples” of the operation of the primary law. As a matter of fact both men have been working zealously in conduct ing their offices. In the case of Jensen the bonding companies in terfered and dictated the appoint ment of H. J. Murray as deputy. Mr. Jensen had selected a man of unchallanged ability. It was this interference with the management of the office that led Governor Cochran to reintroduce the two bills for state bonding of public officials. One of the minor fights that will soon attract state wide attention is the effort to clean up and deodorize the bar. There are groups of at torneys in Lincoln and Omaha that have needed discipline for years. Attorney General Hunter has been petitioned to give legal circles a much needed spring cleaning. During the last two years State Engineer Tilley has put in much time presiding at hearings. After the long drawn out Tricounty af fair, the title of “Judge” was con ferred on the state engineer. su,d”ra ... .trd.
