UNICAMERAL IN
SPECIAL MEET
Lively Scrapping Seen;
Dean of Legislature
Ending Career
The state’s Unicameral legisla
ture convened at 10 a.m. today
(Thursday) in special session at
Lincoln in what is expected to re
sult in lively scrapping over Gov.
Dwight Griswold’s request that the
legislature reenact the merit sys
tem bill adopted by the 1945 ses
sion.
The bill placed all offices under
the governor under a merit system,
j and provided that any other elec
tive offices could participate if the
elected official desires. There
have been no other elected officials
who "accepted the invitation.” The
hill was sponsored by Sen. John
Mekota, of Crete, now the Demo
cratic nominee for the U. S. Sen
ate. The bill is now under court
attacking, based on the contention
it is unconstitutional.
Another subject facing the spe
cial session is the proposed revi
sion of the board of control post
war construction fund. Some ob
servers see “dynamite” possibili
ties in this matter.
There is a proposal to raise the
ceiling on old age and blind pen
sions in Nebraska from $40 month
ly to $50, and to exclude medical,
surgical and hospital care from the
maximum amount.
On hand for the opening of the
special session was O’Neill’s D. H.
Cronin, 77, the dean of the state
legislature. Mr. Cronin, who re
centy disposed of The Frontier,
which he edited and published for
56 years, will terminate his legisla
tive career with the close of the
special session. He served in the
state house of representatives dur
ing the 1911, 1913, 1915 and 1917
terms, and in the state senate dur
ing 1920 and 1921. This is his first
and only term in the Unicameral.
He was not a candidate this year
for reelection from the 28th Uni
cameral district.

HAY CROP 66% I
NORMAL YIELD
Quality Good but Dry;
Corn Prospects Are
Fairly Bright
RAINFALL IS SHORT
Holt county’s 1946 hay crop,
most of which is already “put
up,” is yielding about two-thirds
the normal output, according to
County Agent A Neill Dawes.
The quality, however, ia good, al
though some upland hay is dry.
Meanwhile, farmers in the O’
Neill territory are looking for
ward to a fairly good corn crop,
which has successfully weath
ered the July-August drouth thus
far. Unless an unseasonal
stretch of dry weather and in
tense heat intervenes, there will
be nearly an average crop
Most small grain has been
thresh, d, although several out
! fits are still operating.
Portions of Rock and Brown
: counties, west of here, are "ter
ribly dry,” observers have re
ported. Ainsworth has had but
■ one shower since July 3. Even
| sorghum is burned, and the
young trees have a sickly ap
pearance.
High Winds Reported
Weather Observer Elmer Bow
en reports that the rainfall for
the growing season is more than
two and one-half inches below
normal ifor the north-central dis
trict of Nebraska. The normal
since April 1 is more than 14
inches, while the station here has
recorded 11.45 inches since that
date. Nearly a dozen threats of
rain have characterized the
month of August, but little mois
ture has been received.
Nearly three-fourths of an inch
of rain fell in Chambers, while
Inman reported a nice shower
and light hail. High winds in
southwestern Holt county did
some damage.
The week’s weather summary,
based on 24-hour periods ending
at 8 a m-, daily, follows:

POLIO VICTIM

Donald Lindquist Writes
Letter to Parents with
Afflicted Arm
Holt county’s lone polio victim,
Donald Lindquist, 12, of O’Neill,
is "recovering satisfactorily” in St.
Joseph’s hospital in Omaha. At

with his right hand, which had
been affected by the attack.
His parents will visit him Sun
day, when the restriction wall have
been lifted.
Meanwhile, Nebraska is suffer
ing its worst outbreak of infantile
paralysis in 10 years, and the total
for the year may exceed the 218
cases reported in 1937. The total

and state health officials predicted

the August and September “polio
season.”
Boyd and Knox county each
have one case of polio.

War Crimes Evidence Is
Sought from 3 Ex-POWs
Holt Countyans May Fur
nish Information for
Tokyo Trials
•——— •
Three Holt county World War
II veterans, Capt. Madeline Ul
lom and Ralph J. Young, 30,
both of O’Neill, and Robert G.
Gaylor, 24, of Atkinson, are
among the 2,661 former Ameri
can prisoners of the Japanese
from whom the War Department
seeks to obtain depositions con
cerning war crimes and atroci
ties to be used in war crimes
trials in Tokyo.
All three were Army person
nel spending virtually the entire
war in Japanese hands.
Capt. Ullom, of the Army
Nurse corps, served both on Ba
taan and Corregidor before she
was taken prisoner by the Japa
nese. She spent 32 months in
Santa Tomas prison.
Young was captured on May
6, 1942, on Corregidor and he
was liberated September 16,
1945. He weighed only 110
pounds when he was freed by
friendly forces. The lack of
proper food was affecting his
i
eyes and his heart. However,
he is now in good physical
health.
Gaylor, a member of a coast
artillery unit, was captured dur
ing the seige at Corregidor.
During his internment he was
frequently shifted about the
Japanese homeland. He, too,
suffered from malnutrition and
had to combat several diseases.
Both the Veterans’ admini
stration and the attorney gen
eral’s office will cooperate with
the War Department in taking
statements from the ex-POWs.
Todate neither Young nor
Gaylor have been directly ap
proached for evidenciary state
ments, but their relatives told
The Frontier that they un
doubtedly had personal knowl
edge of war crimes and that
this information was of poten
tial value as trial evidence.
Young eft O’Neill last week

been residing with his sister,
Mrs. Lynus Howard.
Capt. Ullom is now stationed
at Brooke general hospital at
Ft. Sam Houston, Tex.
