State Capitol News . . . Table-Pounding Forecast LINCOLN — An October 25 hearing by the board of control over the firing of George Morris, men’s reformatory superinten dent, will be stormy and of the table-pounding variety. Last week, the board, which governs state institutions, detail ed reasons why it fired Morris and set October 25 to hear the ousted reformatory head. The board said Morris made statements “derogatory” to the board. The statements, the board said, “created a situation which hampered the efficient operation of the state reformatory and other penal institutions.” Further, the board charged Morris “refused to cooperate or even consult with Penal Director B. B. Albert with reference to the operation of the state reforma tory.” Then came a flurry of strong statements from Frederick Wagener, Lincoln attorney who is representing Morris, and the board. Wagener said he will not “tol erate a kangaroo hearing” by the board. The attorney said the hearing will determine “whether, by st&tehouse standards, the right of free speech is automatically and involuntarily taken from one ac cepting state employment” The board replied that Wagen S _ MILLER THEATER — Atkinson — FrL-Sat Oct. 14-15 9 * Sun.-Mon.-Tues. Oct. 16-17-18 O Wed.-Thurs. Oct. 19-20 er is attempting to “pre-judge the hearing”. In a statement, the board said it is “not interested in mak ing a political fanfare of this hearing and wiH conduct it in accordance with the office of attorney general”. The board statement also made note of the fact that Wagener “was the defeated republican can didate for governor at the last election. Further the board said, “mis conduct, which has been used in the case of Mr. Morris” is one of the legal reasons for dismissing a board employee. It said it feels there is “ample evidence to sub stantiate this charge.” Contacted at FaUs City, Morris said since his dismissal the re formatory has been converted in to a “junior penitentiary”. Meanwhile, the new superin tendent of the reformatory, M. L. Wimberley, said all inmates in volved in the September 9 riot at the institution have been cleared from the segregation building. » • • Anderson Announces— State Senator Lester Anderson of Aurora says he is very much in the running for the Congres sional post now held by Rep. R. D. Harrison of Norfolk. The 60-year old Anderson, a hotel owner, presently is serving his fifth term in the legislature. Anderson said he is a “conser vative republican” and that he will run against Harrison in the GOP primary next year. Says Anderson: “I’ve always been interested in national poli tics, and I believe in the Taft policies and Taft principles.” In 1952, Anderson was a dele gate to the national GOP conven tion and said he favored nomina tion of the late Sen. Robert Taft for the presidency. Anderson said he opposes foreign aid, favors national and civil defense and has nothing against Harrison personally. “He’s a nice man,” Anderson said. But the Aurora senator said Harrison did not go along with bills in congress for better high ways. * * * Autopsy Law Inadequate?— Dr. E. A. Rogers, Nebraska’s health director, says a bum, al coholic, drifter or person without a . solid background “could be bumped off without too much difficulty in Nebraska.” Rogers said lack of law to re quire an autopsy into deaths un attended by physicians make it possible for “many possible mur ders to go undetected.” Death certificates filed with the state division of vital statis tics often are open to question, Rogers said. He said, “We can many times give examples of deaths that might have been caused by foul play.” Autopsies are expensive, Rogers said, “and a person who is found lying dead in an alley is often pronounced dead by law enforcing authorities, who make no attempt to determine the cause of death. “Such deaths are often merely attributed to old age, a bad heart, exposure or something else,” Rogers said. The health director said autop sies are highly desirable” when there is question on the causes surrounding a death. “If a medical examining board could be set up to perform autop sies more inexpensively,” he said, “we would be able to more accurately determine the cause of death in questionable cases.” * * * Anthrax Drops— Recent rains in Nebraska have not only benefited crops. They have also helped stop the dread ed cattle disease, Anthrax. That’s the report from Dr. J. L. George, state veterinarian. George says as soon as the rains become general throughout the state, re ports on the incidence of anthrax began to drop. Cattle can get the disease, George said, when they are forc ed to eat short vegetation. The disease is caused by a soil-borne organism. Ten cattle herds in Nebraska were reported infected before the rains came, George said. Anthrax kills rapidly, George said, “and that’s why we like early reports on all animals that die suddenly, for no apparent reason.” Often, he said, it will not be known that an animal has the disease until it is found dead and an autopsy performed. Symptoms of the disease in clude high fever at the outset of the attack, loss of appetite and then death. Card Club Meets— Tne Delta Deks met Thursday evening with Mrs. Frank Froe lich.
