GOP administration is practicing
“true liberalism.’’
The Nebraska, congressional
delegation members spoke at a
luncheon. McKay was a ban
quet speaker.
Sen. Roman Hruska said. “The
r eal vice of Yalta was that three
men sat down around a table and
decided who would get this coun
try, who would get that harbor
end what islands would go to
Joe.” He said he would vote
against the Clay administration
sponsored road plan, then added
“as much as we might oppose any
one or two or three or four of the
president’s plans, taken as a
package his program is par excel
lence.”
Sen. Carl T. Curtis. “About 10
percent of tne next year’s nation
al budget will go for interest on
the national debt." He said $6,400,
000,000 had been earmarked for
interest and only $2,300,000,000
goes for general administrative
costs of government.
Rep. A. L. Miller: “I have
heard complaints that President
Eisenhower is ‘being a little new
dealish,’ ” and he added, “much
of his program dealing with na
tional health will be watered
down.” Miller declared there is
room in the GOP for both con
servatives and liberals.

Baring Agreements
An Old Tradition
Sen. Roman Hruska (R-Nebr.)
and Sen. Minority Leader William
Knowland (R-Calif.) agree that
publication of the Yalta docu
ments followed an Amercian tra
dition almost a century old.
The senators discussed state de
partment release of the Yalta
conference record in a Washing
ton, D.C. interview.
Under the American system
of frequent elections, Know'
land said, if political repercus
sions were to be avoided, such
documents never could be re
leased.
The Californian said the nation
has continually published all its
official papers, for a long time
within a year or two after the
event occurred. After World War
II, the process lagged as much as
18 years.
Hruska commented that wheth
er the documents were released
or suppressed, there still would be
political implications. Knowland
pointed out that the release of
the records was not impulsive,
but was discussed and announced
two years ago. In 1953, congress
appropriated funds to continue
publishing documents, he said,
and appropriation committees held
full hearings and made a report
on the subject.
Publication of the Yalta doc
uments, he said, is “not for acri
mony or opening old wounds,
but to prevent repeating old
mistakes.”
The minority leader said, “I
doubt if the big world powers
nave a moral right to divide ter
ritory and peoples.” And he em
phasized that Poland and China
were allies, not enemy countries,
in World War II.
Hruska added that the reaction
of foreign governments should be
considered in publication of such
documents. “But,” he concluded,
“we must also keep in mind 160
million Americans who do not
want similar meetings in the fu
ture to repeat old mistakes.”
‘Sweet 75 Contest
Is Launched—
A nationwide search to find
the “most photogenic and charm
ing woman” now 75 years of age
has been launched by the Photo
graphers’ Association of America

jubilee year celebration.
All women who were born in
1880, the year the Photographers’
Association 6f America was
founded, are eligible to join the
“Sweet 75 Contest.” All a woman
has to do to enter the country
wide contest is to have a photo
graph taken at the studio of a
member of the association. She
must be in good health, able to
travel and prepared to establish
proof of her age.
O’Neill Photo Co., of O’Neill is
participating in the national
“Sweet 75 Contest” as a member
of the PAA.

Nature does not give anything.
It lends. It will continue to lend
as long as the loan is returned.
When nothing is paid back, noth
ing is lent. Nature keeps a con
stant balance between its income
and loans. When the loans are not
repaid, the borrower, man, and not
the lender, nature, is eliminated.
Anyone who ignores the balance
of nature does so at his own peril.
Nature will maintain its balance
by overthrowing him. — Ayers

Revenue Committee
Robinson Sponsor
The Nebraska unicameral leg
islature’s revenue committee
agreed Tuesday to sponsor two
proposed Ft. Robinson bills in the
legislature.
One of the measures would ap
propriate $94,000 to the state
game commission for development
of tourist accommodations at the
historic northwest Nebraska spot.
The other would give the State
Historical society $36,600 for es
tablishment of a branch museum
at Ft. Robinson.

at this stage in the session re
quires at least 22 votes, under the
rules of the legislature.
Sen. Monroe Bixler of Harrison
asked the committee, of which he
is chairman, to support his re
quest to introduce the measures.
The revenue committee agreed
to sponsor the bills just 24 hours
after a similar request to the ag
riculture committee had been
turned down.
General Alarm
Thwarts Blaze
PAGE — A general telephone
alarm about 4:30 o’clock Sunday
afternoon brought a quick influx
of fire-fighters to the farm oc
cupied by Mr. and Mrs. Matt Mc
Cabe, located two mills northeast
of Page. A bucket brigade and
water conveyed in five-gallon
cans extinguished the hay fire
which was started by the exhaust
of a tractor.
Mr. McCabe was scooping hay
when the tractor backfired. He
didn’t notice the fire that had
started until after considerable
headway had been made in a brisk
wind.
In short order after the alarm
was sounded, neighbors gathered.
Mr. McCabe’s father, M. P. Mc
Cabe of Boyden, la., was visiting
at the place and helped save the
nearby cultivator. A barn was
only lot) leet irom tne naystacK
that was destroyed.
The fire occasionally flared up
and it was 7:30 p.m. before the
crowd dispersed.
Power Line
Resolution Tabled—
The state central committee of
the Nebraska republican party de
cided to take no action on a reso- :
lution calling for construction of
a power line to Grand Island. ::
The resolution called for con- :
struction by the federal govern- ■
ment of a power line from the Ft. ■
Randall, S.D., dam to Grand Is- |
land. The Nebraska legislature has J
already passed a resolution on the g
subject. g
Former Gov. Robert Crosby g
suggested the resolution and Jo- g
seph Thye of Kearney read it. g
But Herb White, Omaha attor- j
ney, protested the “sudden’’ sug- j
gestion, contending the committee j
members should have been given J
prior notice. i
By an 18-8 vote the committee
approved White’s motion to table j j
the resolution. <

Prison Guards Are
Released Unharmed
LINCOLN—A 65-hour prisoner
revolt at Nebraska’s state peni
tentiary ended early Wednesday
when eight rebel convicts released
three unharmed hostages and
Jien surrendered themselves.
Since Sunday forenoon, the
convicts and hostages, including
two captured guards, had been
barricaded inside the square,
tnree story maximum security
building or prison “jail” on the
penitentiary grounds.
Surrender on terms laid down
by Gov. Victor E. Anderson came
after personal interviews during
the night with four of the rebels.
At 5:15 A.M. the two guards
and an inmate who had been a
prisoner of the prisoners walked
out of the building’s lone exit into
the glare of flood lights that have
bathed it for three nights. Thir
teen minutes later the subdued
convicts began trooping out, one
at a time.
ALL got hot meals-their first
since Sunday breakfast.
The guards, Eugene Swanson,
34, and Warren B. Miller, 43, told
newsmen they were well treated
by the insurgents, who were arm
ed with knives and pipes.
A meager supply of bread and
sugar was shared with scrupulous
fairness among captors and cap
tives alike, they said.

Legislature Holds
Pheasants Bill—
The legislature’s agriculture
committee Monday held a bill to
place a special $1 hunting fee on
pheasants after a bill to move the
bill to the floor fell short by two
votes.
The bill would require persons
over 16 years of age to purchase
a stamp to hunt, take or kill
pheasants.
J. Robert Mullin of Ralston,
representing the Missouri Valley
Hunting club, favored the bill. He
said if it passed, hunters would be
contributing $350,000 each year
to the game commission for rais
ing and releasing pheasants.
He said the pheasant popula
tion “has reached an all-time low
in Nebraska and something should
be done about it.”
The bill was introduced by Sen
William Moulton of Omaha.
Sen. Frank Nelson of O’Neill is
chairman of the agriculture com
mittee.
