Outlay for Expanion Program Dur
ing the Year to Exceed Three
Million Dollars.
F. II. Brooks, vice president and
general manager of the Iowa-Nebraska
Light & Power Co., issued the fol
lowing statement Wednesday morn
ing: "The president of the United States
has recently called into conference
representative business, industrial
and labor representatives from all
parts of the nation. The object sought
is to make all capital expenditures
possible, employ labor and generally
to stimulate and expand business and
business activity.
MIowa-Nebraska Light & Power
company, serving approximately 300
cities and towns in the middle west
anticipates the future of this section
of our country with confidence. We
expect usual, normal progress and
growth and in this behalf are pre-
I narinr accnrlinplv fnr 1930 nnri sub

"We already have under way In
Lincoln the construction of a new
and modern steam plant. In addi
tion we are rebuilding the entire dis
tribution system in the city and re
placing old poles with new and larg
er facilities; removing duplicate lines
and poles which are unsightly and
otherwise modernizing and improv
ing the service and F3"Stem. These
improvements are now under way
and during 1930 will give constant
employment to many men. A large
part of this money is being and will
be spent at home.
"Surely this is the bst proof of
oui- confidence in the present and fu
ture of this city.

"The same general program is be
ing followed all over our territory.
Distributing systems and lines are
being rebuilt and extended in approx
imately one hundred cities and towns
New power plants are being erected.
New store-s are being opened, New
facilities are being installed. Rural
electric lines are being built over th
entire territory. All or tnis means
labor and money and lots of it em
ployed and spent in this territory.
"We are pleased, therefore, to be
doing our part in reviving and stimu
lating confidence, employing labor,
spending large sums of money, and
adding to the business progress and
prosperity of eastern and central Ne
braska, western Iowa, and northwest
ern Missouri. Our complete confidence
in this territory will continue to be
unshaken.
"The money beirg expended and
to be expended in the next year for
our entire territory will exceed con
siderably the sum'of $3.000,000."

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.

Shift in Senate
Changes Power
on Committees
Losses on G. 0. P. 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

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.
