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

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.
