LEFLANG CLAIM TO COURT Omaha The mystery of Arthur C. Lofang's trip to Europe last sum mer and the subsequent addition of about $75,000 to the estate of his father, the late E. M. F. Leflang, will be cleared up next week when he pre sents a claim aeainst the estate in county court for $4,000 expenses. At the hearing, Leflang will pro duce complete records of purchases of bonds in France, Norway, Sweden and Denmark made by his father over a long period of years. The testi mony and exhibits will settle owner ship of the bonds, which had been a subject of controversy between Ar thur and his stepmother, Mrs. Anna Cole Leflang. Their previous contro versy over the estate, which is worth about $1,500,000, was settled when she signed an agreement giving him a full halt or tne property. Mrs. Leflang claimed the foreign j""" " V.r""7 ."l.l It ' . ed the purchases to have been made by E. M. L. Leflang himself, Arthur said Friday. He traced them down bv serial and coupon numbers in a six-weeks' visit. As a result of his findings, a sup plemental inventory covering nearly $50,000 worth of bonds was filed sev eral weeks ago in county court. In addition, Mrs. Leflang has withdrawn a claim for $20,000 against the es tate and she has given the estate a note for $2,546.38 to cover bond3 she sold and interest she collected.

Side Give Sen iority to the West and Alters Whole Makeup. Washington The loss, within a few weeks, of three regular Repub lican Senators confronts the Admin istration with a complete re-shuffling of party leadership in the chamber that is believed certain to have far reaching influence upon legislation in the coming months. The party still preserves its nomi nal numerical majority in the Sen ate, although in the case of one of the Senators, Francis E . Warren (R.), Senator from Wyoming, an un usual angle in the state law requires a special election and a Democrat may succeed him. At least six vitally important com mittee chairmanships are now open. In filling these places, with seniority as the guiding rule, the insurgents and Western Senators now consider ably in the majority on the Repub lican side of the chamber will en hance their influence and position in strategic places still further. No more significant development has taken place in the Senate within the last year or so than the ascend ancy of the western members, par ticularly the insurgents. Some of the most veteran members on the Repub lican side are to be found among the insurgent bloc, such as William E. Borah (R.) Senator from Idaho; George W. Norris. Nebraska; Kiram W. Johnson, California. Scene Shifts to West. Until a few years ago it was among the regulars from the East that the party seniority was to be found. Now it is among the westerns that the veterans arc to be found, with prac tically all the latest comers from eastern states. The passing of Mr. Warren, who served in all 37 years in the Senate, throws open the highly important chairmanship of the Appropriations Committee. Reed Smoot (R.), Sena tor from Utah, chairman of the Sen ate Finance Committee, is second ranking member of the committee, and in line for the chairmanship. Next to him comes Wesley L. Jones (R.), Senator from Washington, chairman of the Commerce Commit tee. For Mr. Smoot to take the Appro priations Committee place would open the Finance Committee chairmanship to either James A. Watson (R.), Sen- ator irom rnaiana. or uavia a. tu (it.), senator rrom i-ennsyivania, neither of whom is particularly in- timate with the President, although both are party leaders in the Senate. Senator Smoot has headed the Fi nance Committee for a number of years, and the Administration, it is believed, would like to see him re main there. However, the Appropriations Com mittee is of great importance to a western Senator and Mr. Smoot may insist on his seniority rights. In any case the problem it presents the Ad ministration is a difficult one. Mr. Jones has been put forward by the Administration as its candidate for the vacancy on the Senate For eign Relations Committee, caused by the resignation of Walter E. Edge, (R.), Senator from New Jersey, to become Ambassador to France. The Administration is anxious to get a staunch supporter to fill Mr. Edge's place on this committee, as several highly controversial issues, adherence to the World-Court under the new Root-Hirst formula and the hoped for London naval conference will have to go before this committee for consideration before going to the floor of the Senate. If Mr. Jones goes to the Foreign Relations Committee, his elevation to the Appropriation Committee is like ly to be opposed as he is already chairman of the Commerce Commit tee. Mr. Jones's withdrawal from the Commerce Committee puts Mr. John son in line for this place. Edge Opens Several Holes. Mr. Edge's retirement from the Senate caused more than one per plexing committee problem for the Administration. Besides being chair man of the Inter-oceanic Canals Com mittee, which now goes to Thomas D. Schall (It.). Senator from Min nesota. thus adding another chair manship to five already in possession of the insurgents, Mr. Edge also held important places on four other corn mittees of the Senate Banking ana Currency, Finance, Foreign Relations and Privileges and Elections. In determining his successor on the Finance Committee, the insurgents are contending that R. M. LaFollette (R.), Senator from Wisconsin, is en titled to a place on the committee and if not him some other member of their group. In any case, it is be lieved likely that the East will lose this place. The passing of Theodore E. Burton (D.), Senator from Ohio, caused va cancies on two such important com mittees as Commerce and Judiciary. This last committee is already dom inated by the insurgents through the chairmanship of Mr. Norris and the membership of Mr. Borah, and John Blaine (R.), Senator from Wiscon sin, who are in close alliance witn the Democratic minority. The possible combinations of changes as a result of the loss of three veteran Republicans are numerous; one thing is certain, that the West gains still further predominance in strategic places, and that the insur gent group also extends its position of power by at least more more chair manship and places and advances in eencrity on iraportant committees. Preliminary to taking the problem under consideration Charles McNary! (R.), Senator from Oregon, chairman of the Committee on Committees, has asked each Republican Senator to list the committee places preferred by him. With this information before it, the committee places preferred by him. With this information before it, Delicate Apparatus Will Be Installed the committee, already predominantly! at Grand Island, According western (only a few days ago Arthur in VI T) Terrell Capper (R.), Senator from KansaB,!

Rosenwald Aids Federal Survey Into Education $100,000 Kade Available to Study the Government's Duty in School Matters Washington The Julius wald Fund has made available to the National Advisory Committee on Edu cation $100,000. to conduct a survey of the duties of the Federal Govern ment toward education. At the same time Dr. Ray Lyman Wilbur, Secretary of the Interior, an nounced that Dr. Henry Suzzailo, for mer president of the University of Washington, would be the director of the survey. Dr. Suzzailo is now mak ing a study of graduate education for the Carnegie Foundation for the Ad vancement of Learning. The groundwork is being laid so that the National Advisory Commit tee on Education may meet Secretary Wilbur's challenge in appointing it to provide the Government with "tbe proper chart to steer our educational course. The chairman of the Advisory Com mittee. Charles R. Mann, has revealed that it will seek to obtain reliable information "concerning the 20,000, 000 young people who are out of school." He said much data was available concerning the 16.000.000 in school, and their problems also will engage attention. The informa- tion will be used for conclunior.3 "concerning the degree ana Kina growth young America is getting from present experience." 'Every corner of the United States will be touched by the committee in its comprehensive endeavor." President Hoover has directed all Cabinet members to appoint repre sentatives in their departments whose wcrk touches upon education, to confer with the advisory commit tee. A committee named by the Na- tlon!Ll Association of State Universi ties to co-operate, includes F. L. Mc Vey, president University of Ken tucky; W. A. Jessup, president Uni versity of Iowa, and David Kinley, president of the University of Illi- rioi. A resolution indorsing the pro ject has been adopted by the Associa tion of Land Grand Colleges and Uni versities, which also will appoint a co-operating committee. A basic outline for the study for mulated by the advisory committee showed five educational functions for the Federal Government were agreed cn unanimously, as follows: "Gather, compile, interpret, and disseminate adequate statistics of na tional scope at all levels of educa tion. "Conduct researcli on basic educa tional problems of national signifi cance. "Maintain an adequate library or education works and make it acces sible to the public. "Maintain a legislative digest and information service to which state legislatures could look for informa tion concerning the laws of othe states and of foreign countries con cerning education. "Furnish experts on request to co operate in state or community sur veys in education. WEAVER AIDS SALE OF SEALS Lincoln. Nov. 2 6. There can b' no armistice in Nebraska's figh against tuberculosis. Governor Weav er declared Tuesday, lending his en dorsement to the annual Red Cress sale of Christmas stamps with a rub- lic proclamation. Designating the "white plague" as a constant, insidious menace to the health and welfare of millions, the governor described its inroads as "ravaging in every community." "And the dread total is al most unbelievable. Eeternal viligance on the part of the in dividual and the public is indis pensable if we would success fully attack this relentless enemy of health and happiness," he as serted. To that. Governor Weaver added: "This state subscribes to the sound public policy of maintain ing a hospital for the cure and treatment of patients afflicted with this disease. In this insti tution as elsewhere, it has been definitely determined that tuber culosis is preventable, is com municable, and yet is curable if treated properly in its early stages." "The Nebraska Tuberculosis association is enlisted in the hu mane and commendable enter prise of combating this dread affliction. It is financed in part by the sale of Christmas seals which gives the public the op portunity of helping with little or no sacrifice in a good cause. During the holiday season tons of Christmas seals are used in sending remembrances to friends. The seals can be used for tnis purpose at small expense, and when so used they be come not only messengers of good "will, but of relief to humanity, the governor said. U.

With a holdup man seated beside him and pressing the muzzle of a revolver against his ribs, Harry Finney, employe of a dry cleaning establishment, drove his delivery truck along highways of northwestern Omaha for more than an hour Wednesday night under or ders of his captor. Finney later re ported to police he was robbed of $6T, which he had collected during the day for his employer. Finney told police that a roadster containing two men sped alongside his truck and gave him a curt com mand to step. Under the impression the roadster was a police car, Fin ney complied with the order and a few seconds later one of the men from the bandit car was covering him with a gun. The man seated himself in the delivery car and ordered him to 'keep moving." Finney related. Af ter driving several miles Finney said his kidnaper gave a command ta stop and a minute later the robber's com panion drove up in their car. One of them kept him covered while the other searched him and took the $65, he told police. NEW CORN PRICES DROP SLIGHTLY Fremont, Nov. 26.
