Tuesday is convention day!
Pay your dues and save a buck!
,,
All members are urged to turn out
Monday night to help get the hall3
ready for convention day.
It would be difficult to even haz
ard a guess of the number of visiting
Legion and Auxiliary members who
will be here that day.
Offhand, we would say, three to
four hundred if the weather is at all
favorable. Plattsmouth has created
a fine reputation as a host city as a
result of the splendid way it enter
tained the old First district conven
tion in 1926, and many who are not
in the habit of attending district con
ventions a3 they are now conducted
will be here.
Post cards have come In from four
of the nineteen 12th district posts
asked to report not later than Mon
day the provable number of their
members who will attend. The lowest
estimate on the cards so far returned
is seven, while Greenwood is high,
with 44 promised.
It ha3 taken a lot of work and some
money to put this year's convention
over, but there has been splendid co
operation among our post members
tc the end that the task may be suc
cessfully achieved and with any kind
of a break from the weather man, a
real crowd may be looked for. It is
up to us, as Legionnaires and to the
business men and citizens of the town
to see that they do not go away dis
appointed in the entertainment and
general good time provided.
Our own membership situation
which it in the "red" as the banker
would say should be greatly bene
fited a3 a result of the action taken
at Thursday night's pest meeting, to
wit: Every member who has his dues
paid up for 1933 by convention day
will be relieved from payment of the
$1 registration fee. In other words
r-av your dues pronto, and get this
$l's worth of food and entertainment
thrown in at no extra cost. Every
one will want to attend the stag din
ncr. floor show and dance and can
do so without cost by paying his dues
now. Card3 will be made out for
everyone paying dues up to Monday
night, and those who still want to
get "under the line" Tuesday, can
nay their S3 dues to the registration
committee instead of paying a $1 reg
istration fee and take advantage of
this opportunity.
Chairman Soennichsen of the feed
mmmiitee (who. by the way. had
charge of the feed in 1926) Is ar
ranging a real treat, with plenty to
eat. and will again provide "A pie
apiece in Plattsmouth" as part of the
menu. Baked Virginia ham and es-
calloped potatoes will comprise some
of the other portions of the menu, a
regular banquet, if you please, served
in style, instead of the barbecue or
buffet luncheon so often dished out
at gatherings of this kind.
Committee members appointed to
look after some of the detail work in
connection with the convention are:
Registration Leo Boynton, George
Conis and Maldon Brown.
Reception A. H. Duxbury, W. G.
Kieck. John Turner, Joe Capwell and

Reed and C. B. Ledgway.
Roy Holly is general convention
chairman.
The assistance of every member of
the post is needed, whether on com
mittee or not, in order to make the
convention a success.
The delegates and alternates to the
convention from our post are: Com
mander Albert Olson, Adjutant Elmer
Webb, A. H. Duxbury, Supt. L. S.
Devoe, Leslie Xiel, W. D. Tincher
and John Wichman, delegates; Frank
Barkus. John Hadraba, Tom Wal
ling, Frank Aschenbrenner and Ray
mond Larson, alternates.
At our meeting Thursday night it
was voted to ask the business men to
display their welcome banners con
vention day and co-operate in every
way possible "toward making the con
vention a grand success and sending
the visitors home loud in praise of
Plattsmouth's hospitality. This is the
first convention held here in recent
years at least, where the Chamber of
Commerce has not been ask for fi
nancial backing.
We are pleased to give the follow
ing space to announcements concern
ing the Auxiliary convention, fur
nished us by Mrs. Herman Thomas,
president of the local unit:'
"Plattsmouth American Legion
Auxiliary unit is ready for the en
tertainment of the 11th annual con
vention of District 12 next Tuesday.

ship rooms of the Presbyterian
church. This luncheon is not only
for members of the Auxiliary but for
any others who care to be served a
splendid meal for 25 cents.
"Dinner will be served by the same
organization at the same place, at
6:30 to delegates, guests and all mem
bers of the American Legion Auxil
iary. An Interesting program is plan-
toed, with Mrs. Lottie Rosencrans

both luncheon and dinner may be
procured at registration desk at the
library.
"Committees have been appointed
and everyone is eager to show our
visitors a real pleasant time, such as
Plattsmouth 'is known to always pro
vide for her guests.
"This Is an opportunity for all
Auxilary members of Plattsmouth to
attend a district convention. There
will be interesting and instructive
talks by men and women well known
in Legion and Auxiliary circles, and
we are sure to profit by these talks.
Unit members, please plan to at
tend not only the meetings at the
library, but both the luncheon and
dinner, and help entertain the vis
iting delegates and guests."
Programs of both the Legion and
Legion Auxiliary conventions will be
published in Monday night's Journal.
Watch for them!
Parting Shot: Remember all dues

m. next Monday night will be in the

for distribution to him when he comes

Surrenders Peacefully.
Omaha. An alleged business
"squeeze" by which he was Lr?ing
"beaten out of my life's savings,
Friday night was given by Jule
Rachman, thirty-eight, Omaha the
ater manager, as the reason for his
fatally shooting Harry Goldberg,
fortv-two. treasurer of the Omaha
amusement company, and seriouly
wounding' Sam Goldberg, forty-eight,
president of the company .
The shooting occurred in the of
fice of the amusement company
Harry Goldberg was almost instant
ly killed and Sam wa3 believed dying
at a hospital after an emergency op
eration. The three men were cousins
Rachman surrendered peacefully to
police officers, who, answering an
emergency' call, met him as he was
leaving the office. He greeted them
with the words:
"I'll shoot their heads off if they
don't quit crossing me."
Rachman then lapsed into silence
and did not speak again until po
lice headquarters were reached and
he was taken before Detective Cap
tain Franks for questioning. He
spoke freely then, saying:
"They were trying to ease me out
of the company and beat me out of
my life's savings. When I kicked they
started to get rough and I thought,
they were trying to beat me up. I
had to shoot them to protect myself."

He said he was "squeezed" out of
the company three day3 ago.
At a hospital police attempted to
question Sam Goldberg, but could ob
tain from him only one brief state
ment. That was:
"Jule must have been crazy."
He said he would rather not
talk about it any more now." As he
was being wheeled into the operat
ing room, Sam asked about his bro
ther. "How's Harry?" he asked weakly.
"I don't care about myself. L wish
you would take care of him. He's
such a white guy and ha3 a couple
of kids."
He said Rachman shot' him first,
then turned the gun on Harry.
When police entered the office they
found Harry's body lying on the floor
under a chair. Sam was sitting on
a chair at the opposite side of the
office, gasping for breath.
Sam and Harry Goldberg were pio
neers in the motion picture industry
in Omaha, starting in business in
1909. Their holdings were gradu
ally extended until in 1921 they con
trolled practically all of the local
business. Five years later the hold
ings of the brothers had grown to a
point where . they controlled fifteen
theaters in Omaha and thruout the
state. In late years they had gradu
ally cut down their holdings, selling
many of the theaters. They were re
puted to be wealthy. Sam is unmar

Lincoln, Neb. Warden W. T. F
ton of the state penitentiary said 1
day he had been unjustly criticiz
a3 a result of a story which appear
in print inferring that taxpaye
money had been ur.ed to equip evci

block with a radio.
Warden Fenton was quick to
plain that while the new cell blol
has a radio in every room, that li
one rent of taxpayers' money was q
nended for them. The radios wd
purchased out of the prisone
amusement fund, which is derivj
from prison plays at which the puj
lie pays admission and also from t
profits of the prison cigar stand,

a number of other prison emu

of the amusement fund which tod
still totals about two thousand di
lars.
"Never, since I have been ward
here, has one penny of. taxpaye

sort," said Mr. Fenton. "The pr
