LUBY Butler Explains Reds-in-Govemment __ U. S. Sen. Hugh Butler (R. Netor.) stated he has received for some weeks past several letters from Nebraskans, asking ‘ Why persons who refused to testify about communist party affilia I tions should be continued in em ployment by the federal govern j ment.” Butler pointed out that several months ago President Eisenhower issued a ruling, in effect, that any federal employee who in voked constitutional protection to avoid testifying about com munist affiliations would be im mediately discharged from feder al employment. Eisenhower stated that working for the federal gov ernment is a privilege and not a : right. Senator Butler said, “In all de partments and agencies of the government, security cases hand led by previous administrations are being reexamined by Eisen hower appointees. Many hun dreds of employees have been dismissed under this program of reexamination, and dismissals will continue wherever the slightest doubt exists about the loyalty of any federal employee to the United States.” Butler stated that this is a very rigid policy which will resolve all doubts in favor of the federal government.

Santa Sees 1,099 Kids in Visit Here Or Santa came to town Satur day by jet plane, traveling a wee bit light. There was only one sack of goodies leftover after he had talked with 1,099 small fry from these parts. His helpers had one single sack leftover after hordes of kids had filed past the long counters in the O’Neill public school. Santa attempted to talk with as many of his star ry-eyed admirers as possible. The whole thing was arranged by the Chamber of Commerce. John R. Gallagher, chairman of the Chamber’s reception com mittee, declared after the party: “If the number of small fry visiting Santa during his annual visits continues to increase, it’s possible an extra airplane will have to be put into service from the North Pole to O’Neill.” Gallagher said Santa would have felt “miserable” if the sup ply of goodies hadn’t gone around.
