DEYS DIFFER OVER PLANK Chicago. A sharp difference of opinion among dry elements over the acceptability of the republican pro hibition plank came to the surface with the statement of the woman's national committee for law enforce ment: "It i3 by no means a dry vic tory." Earlier in the day Alonzo E Wilson, executive director of the American Business Men's Prohibition Foundation, had branded the plank definitely a triumph for the drys. Mrs. Henry W. Peabody, head of the women's law enforcement group denied any intention to form "women's prohibition party" but made it clear that if the democratic candidates or platform fail to saisfy "a further solution must be sought.'

Byron Clark of Omaha, pioneer Xebraska railroad employe, and Dr. George E. Condra of the University of Xebraska were principal speakers here today in the golden anniversary celebra tion of the founding of McCook. The days of 50 years ago were re vived as the men and women garbed themselves in the style of dress in vogue in the early eighties. Today was railroad day, and a parade de picted the type of rail locomotive equipment used in early days. Clark, in discussing politics and taxation, said if the nation was on a cash basis and dollars were in cir culation, other problems could easily be taken care of. Likes to See Calico. He said it was worth while to see mothers in calico gowns and to see beards of other days. "I have been trying for years," he said, "to get young people to see how their par ents came to Xebraska and the trials they came through. "Here today they can see and are trying to understand. The trees of this beautiful park were planted by our forefathers on barren prairie. It is time for us to look back and see how our grandparents lived. It is a lesson to us to see we have been going too fast to catch the pioneer spirit of equality and frendship. That is what will restore democracy." Wagons Replace Trucks. Here today cowboys and their mounts took the place of automobiles and ox teams and wagons substi tuted for trucks on the streets of the city. Plainsmen rode in as they did a half century ago for supplies, and calico clad, sunbonneted women rode beside them. Both men and women, long in preparation ior the occasion, added the necessary color in their garb, culled from attics particularly for the event. The men wore boots and bagging pantaloons; gaudy handker chiefs were about their necks, and their faces, long since covered with, especially cultivated whiskers, re sembled the countenances of the set tlers of 50 years ago. The celebration continues through Friday. Officials estimated fouir thousand visitors were in the city. World Herald.

Lincoln post ha3 a membership of around 000 with a quota of 1,400, and Xebraska City post is also way below its assigned quota.

Burgoyne Hamilton, president of ;the Blue Cockade, Inc., an organization for the repeal of the eighteenth amendment, invited Dr. Xicholas Murray Butler, president of Columbia university, to head a lib eral party featuring prohibition re peal. In a Ulegram to Butler, who is in Chicagb as a delegate to the republican convention, Hamilton said the invilation was issued as the result of "straddling" of the prohi bition repeal! question by the repub lican convention. Membership in the organization is gained by taking the pledge not to vote for any candidate for public of fice "who ddes not clearly and un conditionally commit himself and his candidacy to j the rereal of the eight eenth amendment."

Name of Cyrus Eaton Figures in U S Inquiry Cleveland Man Is Accused and De fended at Senate Stock Hearing. Washington. Charges that mil lions of dollars invested by the pub lic in Continental Shares, inc., of Cleveland, were used to "further the personal ventures" of Cyrus S. Eaton, its organizer, were made in the sen ate stock market investigation. They came from David Stock, investigator for the senate banking committee conducing tho inquiry, and George Li. Gugle of Columbus, O., a Contin ental Shares stockholder. Testimony also was presented by Stock and Wil liam A. Gray, the committee coun sel, concerning Foreign Utilities, which they described as Eaton's per sonal holding company in Canada. Referring to the transaction which they described, Chairman Xorbeck of South Dakota said it "has the ap pearance of being a plan to get away from the income tax. W. R. Daley of Cleveland, attor ney for Eaton, said some of the state ments made at the hearing were false and that others led to erroneous in ferences. Eaton himself did not ap pear, altho Chairman Xorbeck said he did not expect Eaton would ap pear. "I don't think a man has a chance to build up a defense and present that defense before a senate commit tee," Daley said. "I don't think any body in the world could defend these charges before a senate committee. They would have to be fought out in court. Daley said one of the incorrect statements was an assertion by Stock that Otis & Co. had "unloaded" up on Continental Shares a quantity of Inland Steel stock at a price consid erably higher than it could have been sold for in the market. Earlier in the day, the committee sought to take up the operations on Fox Film and Fox Theatre corpor ations, but was balked by the illness of William Fox, their organizer, who was scheduled to take the stand. He is expected to testify Friday. Gray told the committee he intended to show that the corporations were "wrecked" by Fox and that he also would present evidence of a gigantic income tax evasion. The committee sent two doctors to check up on the story of Benjamin Reass, attorney for Fox, that the film man was ill in his hotel room and unable to ap pear. Stock told the committee the Con tinental Shares case "involves mani pulation and use of public money to further the personal ventures of per sons in control of the public money.' State Journal.

Plan to Send Large Delegation to 'Ak' Show For First Time in Several Years, a United Attendance to be Urged on Plattsmouth Night. Omaha Ak-Sar-Ben den shows frequently attended by large groups of Plattsmouth men, ofttimes going on chartered trains in the days before autos became so plentiful, but given the "go-by" insofar as a united at tendance has been concerned, during the past several ycar3, will again be made a point of objective this year for perhaps the largest group of Plattsmouth and Cass county citizens ever to attend a "den" show. The Chamber of Commerce yester day approved acceptance of the invi tation to attend this year's show in large numbers and will fc-e that it id made an occasion of Lett r acquaint ing Omahans with Plattsmouth, as well a3 enjoying the hospitality of the Ak-Sar-Ben organization and sit ing their 1932 show, tald to be one of the best of the many produced in the long ycar3 of Ak-Sar-Iitn activi ties. Plattsmouth used to tend large del egations to Ak-Sar-Ben shows Lark in the days when the "den" was located at 20th and Lake streets, chartering a special train and being assigned a group of street cars on arrival in the metropolis that took them direct to the scene. Xow, with autos supple menting rail service, it i3 planned to organize a caravan of well nigh one hundred cars, traveling in a proces sion direct to the Ak-Sar-Ben coli seum. The date has been tentatively set for Monday night, July ISth, but on account of that falling on regular meeting night of the city council and preventing some fifteen of the city of ficials from attending on that date, a change will probably be made, eith er to July 11th or 25th. Further announcement will be made concerning the date and the show, and all Plattsmouth folks who ten will be urged to attend. A spec ial committee on transportation will endeavor to arrange passage for those not having cars of their own, with others who do, but part of such ar rangements will have to be worked out by car owners themselves inviting neighbors and friends whom they may desire to have accompany them. orensen Dees Defeat in GOP Straddle Plank 'Will Cost 50,000 Nebraska Votes" Says Attorney General Says Wets Won't Be Fooled. Lincoln, June 16. Attorney Gen eral C. A. Sorensen, republican can didate for re-election, today scored the action of the republican national convention in its attitude toward the liquor question. Sorensen asserted the adoption of the majority plank on that issue would cost the party 50 thousand votes in Xebraska, and that it spell ed defeat for the national adminis tration next Xovember. "The drys," Sorensen asserted, "will be disgusted, and the wets won't be fooled." The attorney general also' was of the opinion those favoring absolute repeal were more honest in express ing their demands than the advo cates of the majority plank favoring resubmission to the states. The plank adopted, in the esti mation of the state official, himself regarded as a bone dry, is nothing more than a joker. World-Herald.
