Nebraska legislature By Senator Tony Asimus L. B. 379, the Teacher’s Retire ' ment Bill, was debated and argued for the past six days. Numer ous amendments were attached to it and some of the amendments were amended. The sponsors of ! this bill had hard sledding holding their lines, and some amendments were disastrous. The correspon , dence coming to the Senate is about equally divided pro and con. ! In the final shift this bill was re ferred back to the standing com mittee for further consideration. Much gossip has been engaged in by senators, lobbyists and spec tators in relation to any teachers retirement bill at this time of pending war and general economic distress. Several teachers ex pressed themselves as unfriendly to such legislation on various occasions. This bill was later kill ed in committee. L. B. 470, gasoline tax exemp tion for farm power, now appears to be safely headed for third read ing and passage. This bill has been stubbornly contested all along the line in this session as in previous sessions, but public sentiment has steadily grown in strength to the advantage of the bill. This is the ninth session this bill has tried to make the hurdle. L. B. 135, known as the Chadron j bill, mentioned in last week’s let ter, was passed on third reading Friday. The Legislature gagged considerably at swallowing this legislation but finally did so by one vote. During the voting the official lobbyist for the Nebraska League of Municipalities was or dered from the Senate Chamber. The inscription over the north door of the Capitol “The salvation of the State is Watchfulness in the Citizen,” is the fundamental mainspring of Constitutional gov ernment. The “watchfulness in the citizen” not only moulds pub lic opinion, but also promotes or blocks pending legislation. There is ever minority groups and spec ial interests seeking selfish advan tages by legislation that should arouse the watchfulness of the citizen. Harry Bridges may n:ver be de ported even though a deportation warrant may be issued. Australia appears unwilling to take him back. Congress passed a law a year ago requiring all foreign controlled political organizations to register with the State Department and to give Uncle Sam information on their finances, personnel and mem bership. Since the passage of that legislation none of these organiza tions have registered and Uncle Sam is powerless ■to do anything about it because no funds were pro vided for enforcing the law. The other day $150,000 was appropriat. ed for such enforcement and the Department of Justice expect* most of these organizations to re gister now.

MAKE SELECTIONS EARLY The Federal Bureau of Investi gation started with annual appria tions of around $!5,000,000. This year appropriations will be over $10,000,000 which includes $8,750, 000 for special defense activities. After the present emergency de fense activities will cease and the F. B. I. will go back on a budget of around $7,000,000 a year. It is widely contended here that the President as Commander-In Chief of the Army and Navy has the power to provide escorts for convoys in England. Some, how ever, dispute that power. The lend lease bill practically guarantees aid to Britain. The next question is how to get those supplies over. Some mebers anticipate orders for escorting convoys most any day. These members believe this would mean war, and that is why many members opposed the lend-lease bill. Nebraskans coming to Washing ton for the first time are amazed at the war hysteria that prevails in this town. They tell members that while folks at ome are worried about the war, there is no war hysteria in Nebraska yet. It is not uncommon on the crowded streets of Washington for groups of Nebraskans to meet and talk about hoipe. Nearly everyday Nebraskans goihg to or coming from work meet friends or fellow Nebraskans who are here working for the government or here visit ing. George Kile of Wayne is one of the Nebraskans working in the F. B. 1. **■•" 'I i ? 0*11 > 1 Non-Defense Expenditures High Just now we are hearing a great deal about the tremendous step-up in our governmental defense due to our eleventh hour program and ad option of the all-out aid to Great Britian plan. In view of the mili tary situation in Europe this is only natural. Thirty-five billions is now the tentative mark placed on ! the amount of our expenditure dur- i ing the coming fiscal year for de-! fense-aid in its various phases. At the same time, however, we I must not lose si^iit of the fact that our non-defense expenditures are | increasing. Nov when there have | been pledges that non-defense ex penditures would be cut down in order to make up, in a slight way, for the increase jn military costs it is said that 4>urtcivilian federal ex penditures are £ nicreasing in the same old way. .Few people realize how steady thik increase has been during the past eight or nine years.! The National Association of Manu- j facturers recently made a study which disclosed the fact that the increase in our non-defense outlay in 1942, as compared with the year 1932, just ten years ago, is mfire than three billion dollars. This in crease of course has been steady in the past decade. Breaking this in crease down in various depart ments the survey indicates the fol lowing increase in 1942 as com pared with 1932: Executive office and independent estab ments . $1,542,132,000 Department of Agri. 1,053,180,000 Interest on public Debt 625,277,000 General public wks. 223,549,000 Treasury Dept._ 116,635,000 Dept, of Commerce _ 42,102,000 Dept, of Interior . 22,403,000 Dept, of Labor _ 21.854,000 Dept, of Justice 12,736,000 Legislative establishment 3,587,000 Dept, of State 1,742,000 Total increase 1932-42 $3,665,197,000 If wc are to havj real national defense it must be economic as well as military. If we do not preserve our sound econom c fabric then sooner or later we are going to suf. fer whether or not we have to un ^nlpr Go Burlington This year see those noted East ern historic and scenic spots you’ve read and heard about— fascinating Washington, D.
