The growth of the Behlen Manufacturing Company of Columbus, and the growth of that city’s over-all industrial economy are parallel stories of success. Started as a one man, one product machine shop in 1936, Behlen today is one of Ne braska’s larger industries. It employs ap proximately 900 people in the production of grain conditioning equipment and farm and commercial buildings. Since moving to the Columbus Industrial Site (as its first occu pant) in 1946, Behlen has made five major plant additions. The last two were on a new 93 acre site developed by Behlen three miles east of Columbus. I The Behlen Manufacturing Company’s new plant east of Columbus. •s At the time Behlen moved to the Industrial Site, the city of Columbus had only three manufacturing industries with a payroll of less than $50,000 per year. Today, Colum bus is the home of approximately 20 ^indus tries with more than 3,000 employees. This phenomenal growth combined with the fact that most of Columbus’ industries, like Behlen, are “home grown” is another dem onstration of the power of people working together.

Report from Washington By Congressman Dave Martin Fourth District, Nebraska Last week I was privileged to go to Gettsburg and spend the day with former President Eisen hower. Due to the Jewish holiday, the House transacted no business Monday and Tuesday, so I did not miss any votes by going to Get tysburg. It was a welcome res pite from the legislative grind. The 42 “freshmen” Republican Congressmen were invited by General Eisenhower to visit his farm and tour the Gettysburg bat tlefield area, and 38 of us were on hand for the trip. We left Washington by bus at 7 a.m. for the two-hour drive, accompanied by two bus loads of press people. First, we were shown a reenact ment of the battle on an electric board, which graphically por- - trays in detail the three days of this decisive battle. From there, we joined General Eisenhower on the battlefield, and he personal-; ly took us over most of the area, giving us, at the same time, a detailed account of the action which took place. He is one of the foremost authorities on this1 great battle, and he is conver sant with its most minute de tails. Also, as the top General in the European theater during World War H, he has an appre ciation of the battle from the pro fessional soldier’s viewpoint. After a two-and-a-half-hour t<«ur of the battlefield, we visited his farm, inspected his Angus cattle, and were photographed with him outside his barn. General Eisen hower raises registered cattle and has won numerous prizes with them at shows in the surround ing area. The land was greatly run down when he purchased it, but lie has made it an ironclad rule that nothing is to be sold from the farm except the cattle. The soil is being built up through the use of lime and fertilizer, and rotation of crops. How well he is succeeding is evidenced by the fact that last year his corn yield was 95 bushels to the acre, in comparison to 60 bushels per acre in 1959, and about 35 bushels per acre when he first purchased the farm. He is a true conservation ist. Following the tour, the Con gressmen and members of the press had lunch with the former President at the Gettysburg ho tel. The General stayed on after lunch, and wae were allowed to ask him questions for 20 minutes. The press representatives wore given 10 minutes. One of the most interesting questions con cerned the division of Germany and Berlin. The State Depart ment recently put out a release stating that General Eisenhower was responsible for the present division of Germany. The former President stated that this was untrue. The facts, as related by General Eisenhower, are — that he was called back secretly to Washington during wartime by President Roosevelt, at which time Eisenhower objected to the proposed division of Germany on the grounds that it was impracti cable and would not work. Pres ident Roosevelt informed him that the decision had already been made and that he had agreed to the division in conferences with both Stalin and Churchhill. This was a political decision for the President to mane and not with in toe bounds of the military. General Eisenhower’s duties, as head f the Allied forces, were to crash the German army and end the war as quickly as possible. Thus, you can see, General Eisen hower was neither consulted be fore this partition was agreed upon, nor was he in favor of the same. * • * Adjournment still seems to be an elusive goal. This dragging legislative cycle reminds me of the story of the farmer who was driving his horse and wagon laboriously along a dusty road when he came upon a man sitting on his porch overlooking the road. Palling his horse to a halt, the farmer called out, “Say, stranger, how mucn longer does tais hill last?” The stranger smiled, “You’re not on a hill, “he re plied, “Your hind wheels are off.” Shop 8:30 — 5:30 Week Days Saturday 9:00 - 9:00 O'Neill, Nebr. ifH Lay-Auxiy Buy!
