ON OPENING OF CONGRESS
The last session of the 76th con
gress opened with crowds of peo
ple waiting outside the capitol try
ing to get in to hear the opening
gavel and also to hear the president
deliver his message. There was an
additional number of Metropolitan
police in and around the building.
Every precaution was taken by the
police and Col. Starling’s secret
service police to guard the presi
dent and his family.
Mrs. Roosevelt had a grand
daughter on her knee while she
listened to her husband speak to
the house and senate members. The
people in the crowded galleries
joined in the applause given to Vice
President Garner when he entered
the chamber with the senate mem
bers.
Following the president’s ad
dress members discusses various
points of the speech. Special stress
in these conversations was regard
ing “how far can the United States
go into helping European govern
ments becoming as democratic as
the democracy of the United
States?”
Beileve it or not, the president’s
health appears excellent. Far bet
ter than a year ago when he open
ed the 76th congress. His smile
came as frequently and his ges
tures toward the minority side of
the chamber had a lot of punch and
humor. His reference taxes to pay
for more spending money caused
plenty of frowns among both the
republicans and democrats.
Former members didn’t like his
reference to reciprocal trade agree
ments. This question will bring
many fights in this session.
Unless the prairie states mem
bers are guaranteed that recipro
cal trade agreements with South

PARENTS DON'T HAVE TO GUESS j
The respectable ho6t of Nebraska s licensed beer
retailers obey the law’s injunction against selling to
persons under 21.
Sometimes, in order to be able to refuse to sell to
minors, proprietors ami their employees have to
guess the ages of their patrons.
Parents don't have to guess ages . . . they know howr
old their young people are.
Parents can cooperate with a legal and responsible
Nebraska industry, paying annually more than
$175,000.00 in taxes, by instructing their young peo
ple not to trade on their appearance or conceal
their age.

American countries will not work a
detriment to American farmers, the
entire committee may vote against
the extensions of these agreements.
Industrial and factory district
members, both republicans and
democrats seem to favor the ex
tension of these agreements. They
say it will mean they can sell more
automobiles, tractors and machin*
ery.
The army and navy lobbyists
were in the capitol in full force.
They will be given the lion’s share
of money this year because of the
war in Europe and because of the
popularity of national defense.
House Represented at Heinke
Funeral
Death has hit the house a severe
blow since the close of the special
session. Six deaths have occurred,
including that of Congressman Geo.
Heinke of Nebraska City. Mr.
Heinke died following an automo
bile accident in Arkansas. He was
driving to Washington to be pres
ent at the opening of this session
when the accident occurred. Speak
er Bankhead appointed Congress
men Curtis, McLaughlin and Stef
an of Nebraska and Gwynne of
Iowa to represent the house at the
funeral services. Mr. Heinke serv
ed with distinction during the first
session of the 76th congress and
was unusually active on the com
mittee on Labor. During his short
service he made many friends in
the house.
Whole Country Icy
The snow and ice is general from
Nebraska to Washington. The
Third district member made the
trip by automobile, but most of the
highways were passable providing
care is exercised. Many automo
biles were found in ditches along
the way. Highway patrolmen all
•along the route were rendering
valuable service. In many places
cinders are being used on all icy
curves especially in the mountains
where the use of cinders has elim
inated a large number of car acci
dents.
Hard Work For Appropriation
Committee
Appropriation committees have
been working since December 4.
They will be the committees which
will carry on while the house does
general debating. The budget di
rector talked to ranking members
for two hours before the new ses
sion opened. He showed figures
somewhat lower in many cases
than n year ago. But the money tc
run the government in 1941 will
climb far into the billions. Just
where to cut and what to cut out
are questions facing these appro
priation committees. Hints of cuts
in relief funds and road funds have
started quite a stir among members
who want to continue federal road
work and also continue relief ap
propriations.
