GOP Caravan Out
Capitol Is Dull
LINCOLN— With the Repub
lican caravan stealing most of the
capitol’s news-making officials,
the week was dull at the state
house.
The campaigners wind up their
tour of the Second congressional
district this weekend, then next
Monday will hit the home stretch
with a tour of the first district
On Wednescday, October 11,
the caravan was to be in North
Platte, Gothenburg, Cozad, Lex
ington, Kearney, Ravenna, Loup
City and Broken Bow.
Today’s (Thursday’s) schedule
calls fo rappearances in Ord, Bur
well, Bartlett, Greeley, St. Paul
and Grand Island. The candidates
will take Friday off and on Sat- j
urday will visit Nebraska City,
Plattsmouth, Papillion and Blair.

day, October 16, are Crete, (
Friend, Exeter, Fairmont, Gene
va, Sutton, Clay Center, Harvard
and Hastings.
Next day, stops are slated at
Minden, Holdrege, Elwood, Cur
tis, Hayes Center and Imperial.
During the first week of the
tour, Sen. Kenneth S. Wherry
grabbed most of the headlines j
with his attacks on the adminis
tration’s foreign policy and his
denunciation of Secretary of State
Dean Acheson. Rep. Karl Stefan
lashed at government spending
and Gov. Val Peterson detailed
the accomplishments of his ad
ministration, with a heavy accent
on roads. Most of the state candi
dates did not make speeches, but
were introduced to the street
corner crowds.

Governor Peterson was the car
avan’s first casualty. He joined
the GOP faithful in Wahoo after
speaking to a Presbyterian gath
ering at Bellevue.
As he mounted a truck to give
a talk at Wahoo, he missed a
step, fell and suffered a long cut
on the inside of his arm. He also
. ruined a new suit.
After treatment by a Wahoo
I---1
doctor, he continued with the
barnstorming.

A 10 percent drop in Nebras
ka's agricultural income last year
pulled the state’s income pay
ments and per capita income be
low 1948, but the totals still were
the highest ever recorded. The
figures are contained in a com
merce department report publish
ed in a current bulletin of the
Nebraska resources division.
Per capita income, while below
the national average, was high
er than the average for this dis
tricht and was topped by only
Wyoming and Colorado in this
area. The Cornhusker state's per
capita income for 1949 was $1,
294, compared with the peak in
1948 of $1,468.

Higher costs of health services
for Nebraska’s needy accounted
for 70 percent of the increase in
the state assistance program’s
cost during the 1949-50 fiscal
year, according to an official
board of control report.
The cost of health services —
diugs, hospitalization and med
ical care—shot up 27 4 percent
during the year while the assist
ance program as a whole in
creased by only 8 percent. The
cost of the program rose $1,320,
000 while the cast of the health
services was up $613,460, to $2,
818,131. , ,
(Nursing home costs for the
present quarter will be about
double the $220,000 they cost ear
ly in 1948, the board said. The
boost is in the cost per case,
rather than in the number of
cases.

Bad news for several Nebras
ka towns planning to build hos
pitals came this week from the
state hospital advisory council.
Dr. Frank D. Ryder, state
heealth director, said the coun
cil has withdrawn its prelimina
ry approval of projects at Ogal
lala, Loup City and Schuyler
and recommended deferment of
all new hospital construction
under the federal aid program.
Ryder said a cut in federal
money aUocated to Nebraska for
the 1050-51 fiscal year made the
action necessary. The Cornhusk
er state received $680,245 this
year compared to $1,£67,920 for
the 1949-50 fiscal year.
The director said recent price
trends require a “realistic" atti
tued toward the cost of con
structing a hospital and the
council will keep the $177,930 re
serve to “assure full federal par
ticipation in construction of hos
pitals approved for federal funds
during previous fiscal years. ’
Highway bids on an estimated
$1,190,000 worth of work will be
let October 20, the state high
way department has announced.
Proposed projects include:
State 51 east of Bancroft; state
91, Taylor-Burwell; West of Win
nebago; east of Thurston; Edi
son-Beaver City; Brady - Moor
field; state 23, Maywood-Curtis;
state 9, Wakefield-Alien; state 67,
east of Brock.

The state game commission is
history, a total of $2,555,990. Sec
sp ui }a8pnq isa83iq aqj Sui^aas
retary Paul Gilbert said the in
creased costs and construction
programs accounted for much of
the increase over the last bien
nium’s $1,920,964.
For the first time, federal funds
are available for fisheries and
must be matched by state funds.

Corn Estimates Up—
Favorable weather in Septem
ber added nearly seven million
bushels to Nebraska’s 1950 corn
crop, the department of agricul
ture indicated Tuesday.
The anticipated yield, based on
conditions Oct. 1, is 238,608,000
bushels, compared with an esti
mate a month ago of 231,890,000
bushels. The estimated yield per
acre has been hiked from 35
to 36 bushels.
Two months ago a yield of
33 bushels per acre Was indica
ted.
The 6,628,000 bushel increase
reflqrcts 'the cooperation which
the behind schedule corn crop
tetnber and precipitation was
about average. But the first 10
days of the month saw a lot of
sunshine which mature the crop
and forestall heavy damage from
the first big freeze which came
this way.
There was no change in the
estimate of a 83,578,000 winter
wheat chop for the state. The
spring wheat estimate likewise
remained at 10 bushels per acr «
or 520,000 bushels.
For all kinds of wheat, Ne
braska's production was placed
at 84,098,000 bushels or 21.8 per
acre.
WHO STEALS WHICH?
“The law locks up the man or
woman
Who steals the goose from off
the common;
But leaves the greater villain
loose
Who steals the common from
the goose.”
It is apple time again with
some new varieties shown at the
markets, but what has become of
the old reliable Ben Davis?
The supreme court has the un
j usual privilege of reviewing a di
: vorce decree granted in Hall
county to the judge of a district
court, the appeal action brought
by the divorced wife.
P.an now to give phoiopraphs

Great Spiritual
Film Showing—
‘The Prince of Peace,'’ new
$2,500,000 Hallmark Production,
in cinecolor, which has been
'oreaking attendance records
everywhere, is now showing at
the Miller theatre in Atkinson.
This unusual'two-hour attrac
tion is a complete unit in itself,
according to Mr. Miller being act
ually 2 stories in one. Scenes film
ed in the breathtaking beauty of
the Wichitas are the background
for the powerful, moving story.
It is because the Lawton story
of “The Prince of Peace” is so
tremendous in scope, so beautiful
in color, so sweeping in grandeur
and so human in its theme that
it is breaking boxoffice records
from coast-to-coast. Its glorious
and thrilling musical score and
strong senmon-on-film has caus
ed clergymen of every faith and
educators at all levels to call the
film the most important motion
picture ever to come out of Holly
wood.
“The Prince of Peace’’ is a mov
ie for the entire family. Father
and mother will thrill to its ma
jestic beauty while little broth
er and sister will delight in the
new six-year-old child star, Gin
ger Prince, making her first
screen appearance.
Film will play today (Thurs
■r-« - - ----.

day) and Friday. f
