$1,800,000 in 1929, is indicated in
the provisional estimates for the year,
neenrdinir to. an announcement to-
day by J. II. Agee. general manager
of the company. This compares with
nearly $1,200,000 expended in 1928.
These expenditures," Mr. Agee
states, "are planned to provide ade-
quately in advance ior xne conim-
ued growth in the telephone require-
ments of the public in the twenty-
two counties in southeastern Nebras-
ka served by the Lincoln Telephone
and Telegraph Co. The estimates
cover the necessary gross outlays in
1929 for land, buildings, switch -
boards, cable and various other equip -
ment which make up telephone
plants.
As in the case of larger business
institutions, the telephone company
has for several years prepared annual
budgets and estimates of construction
needs both for one year and for five
years, basing these on careful fore-
casts throughout its territory.
"The construction program must
reflect not only the current prospec-
tive growth in telephone needs but
the continuous progress that is be-
ing made in telephone science and
engineering and is therefore planned
with full regard to utilizing such
new or improved devices and meth-
ods as well contribute to the effi-
ciency of telephone operation and
transmission.
Many Replacements Planned,
"In the progrant both for 1929 and
for the flve-yea,r period now begin-
per-laine.' conspicuous- place is given, to
the replaeementfand continued lm-
provement !of central office equip-
ment, the erection or enlargement of
telephone building to house this part
of the general plant, and additions
and improvements to long distance
facilities. -
: "Outstanding among the construe-
tion projects will be an addition to
miles of long dintance lines. 2.884
miles of which will be coDDer wire,
and the replacement of old copper
wires in the long, distance lines be-
tween Lincoln and Hastings with
larger size new copper wires. Also
the completion of the reconstruction
of lines west from Lincoln to Em-
erald. In this section a l.irce cable
is being erected which will carry all
the rural lines in that direction, and
remove a large number of wires from
the poles. Also a new pole line is
being completed between Lincoln and
Seward, with an increased number
of poles in each mile. All these sub-
tstitutions will provide more security
to service, both long distance and
exchange, especially when the weath
er man releases one of those sleet
storms which frequently visit us
"The Lincoln Telephone and Tele

telephone building and installed new
common battery central office equip

bate Along with Ku Klux Klan
Exchange Sharp Words
Washington, D. C, Feb. 5. A,
proposal by Senator Heflin (dem...
Ala.) to prohibit the flying of a
church pennant during services at
sea above the American flag on the
United States warships resulted in a
heated discussion in the senate to
day in which the Roman Catholic
church and the Ku Klux Klan were
mentioned.
The Alabama, who a year ago
assailed the flying of church pen
nants above the American flag, today
oflered an amendment to the cruiser
construction bill to prohibit such ac
tion. The proposal was objected to
by Senator Bruce (dem., Md.), as
one inspired by the klan.
The discussion gained headway
and progressed to vuch a sharp in
terchange of words that Senator
Moses lN. II ), who was presume.
knees of one senator to anoint r.
The upshot of the affairs was tnat
the senate was torceu to !,o on m-
ord by a roll call vote as to its views
on the question.
Ten Are for Bill.
Onlv 10 senators voted for the pro
posai ."among them Hale (Me.), who
had accented the Hetnn amendment
h,efore the verbal storm began. He
announced that for himself he did
not consider the vote one of religion,
Ls tiie naVy had already decided to
make the chance. Numerous other
senators, however, including Borah
i Idaho) . Reed ( Pa. ), Heflin and 'l yd-
hngs (Md.) called upon the senators
UQ vote on the religious issue raiseu.
Just before the roll call was tak-
er Senator Tydings declared that
"under our constitution every man
has the right to make a damn fol
cf himself whenever he sees fit."
"I. hope," he added, "we will settle
this question today and now and
for all time. I hope wc will put our
God ahead of our country. If that
be unpatroitic then make the most
of it."
Among those who objected to the
proposal was Senator Gerry (dem.,
I H. I.), wro was defeated for reelec-
tion last fell. He spoke after Senator
Walsh (dem., Mont.), and Senator
Hefflin demanded to know "why
these two senators object to tnis
measure when the navy had consent
ed to the change."

Declaring. that he is not a Catho
lie, ' Tydings asserted, he -is "ready
as a frotesiani, to siana nere uuu
demand that that religion be not
villified, be not insulted, and that
those who inherited' the faith at
their mother's knee shall have tne
same right to practice their reii
gion in this country as anyone else."
"I welcome the issue. While I am
not fond of casting aspersions on
groups of men, if ever the day should
come when the men who wear the
nightgowns send me my orders ana
dictate my vote. I nope the people
win take me irom tnis oody, oe

Jews Flocking
into Palestine;
Trade Reviving
Warsaw Said to Have Waiting
List of 10,000 Approved
Candidates
Jerusalem After a lull of nearly
two years there has been organized
a large-scale Jewish immigration in
to Palestine and a fresh batch of
150 pioneres arrived toward the end
of January in time to join their com
rades working on large Jewish plan
tations in Judea. Their arrival is
said by Zionists authorities here to
be proof that the economic depres
sion which set in toward the end of
192C is past and that Palestine is
entering a period of expansion which
! mrv equal the rapid development of
the boom years preceding the crisis.
Permits for new imigrants were
obtained by the Zionist organization
toward the end of 1928. and immedi
ately afterward the Zionist offices of
central eastern Europe began se
lecting suitable candidates from long
waiting lists. In some places, especi
ally Warsaw, the number of appli
cants approved as fit for early im
migration into Palestine is said to
reach more than 10.000.
Some 500 pioners. or haluzig as
they are called in Hebrew, are ex
pected before the end of February,
the first group of 50 being from the
training farms of Germany. Poland,
Lithuania, Latvia. Galicia, Austria,
Czechoslovakia, all had quotas as
signed them from Jerusalem. Al
though immigration was not actually
suspended by law. there is only a
very small trickling of immigrants of
the laboring class with no means of
their own during the time of depres
sion. Prospective settlers with means
are at the same time subjected to
very severe control, and there have
been loud complaints against the
policy of the immigration authorities,
which was said to divide families as
well as keep potential wealth out of
the country.

From Wednesday s Dally

place and were given a surprise in
the little known Iowa team who pre
- ceded to hang up their tenth victory
when they won 29 to 25 from the
Platters
I The Platter reserve was started in
the game and the battle raged fast
and furious and led to the first string
Platters being hurried in to the bat
tle to stop the scoring spree in which
Fitzgerald and B. Keren hung up
seven field goals against the locals.
At the half the score was 20 to 10
for the Bluffmen, but the Platters
opened a heavy attack that almost
swept away the lead of the foe and
bringing them within striking dis
tance of victory but the time was
too limited for the rally to bring
success to the blue and white.
The tabulated score of the game
was as follows:
