A THRIVING INDUSTRIAL. ECONOMY
The Behlen Manufacturing Company’* plant
at the Columbus Industrial site.
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.
Interested in the growth and development of each
of the 355 communities it serves and of the state
as a whole, Consumers Public Power District satis
fies every electrical power need of industry'. . .

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.”
