Robert William Stewart, was born

April 7, 1933, at the age of 71 years,
2 months and 14 days. In the year

Clara Maston, of Alvo, and Mrs.
Ethel Williams, of Lincoln. Two oth
er sisters and three brothers of the
deceased died in childhood.
Mr. Stewart came to Nebraska

lowed until his illness, beginning on

LOWER LOCAL POSTAL RATE
Washington. j Immediate enact
ment of legislation to give President
Roosevelt sweeping authority over
postal rates was recommended by
Postmaster General Farley as a move
toward restoring two cent postage.
Farley said in a statement that re
establishment of the two cent rate on
local mail would be the first step In
the program, and indicated that if it
resulted in increasd revenue the re
duction would be ordered generally.
Under the program, Mr. Roosevelt
would be empowered until July 1,
1934, "to lower or increase postage
rates as increasing business or the
demands of the postal service may
make necessary."
The three cent rate on first class
mail was put into effect last July as
a revenue raising measure. Re
ceipts, however, have shown a de
cline. Farley said an investigation
indicated that local mail, that which
does not go outside a city, can be
handled without loss to the govern
ment for two cents.
PRICE TOR APPOINTMENT
Abilene, Tex. An applicant for a
Texas postmastership, who offered to
contribute 10 percent of his salary
to the national democratic campaign
fund and make a personal gift has
been turned down emphatically by
Congressman Blanton, who termed
the offer "an insult to me and the
democratic party." i In correspond
ence released to newspapers in his
district, Blanton said he had called
the matter to the attention of Presi
dent Roosevelt and the latter was
"astounded."
"Ha (the presidetn) is the head
of our democratic organization,"
Blanton wrote to the applicant, Hu
bert L. Turner of Roscoe, Tex. "He
will permit no contributions to be
received in return for appointments.
He will allow no offices to be
bought."
Turner declared he had acted in
noecntly and said, "I am sorry my
motive was misunderstood." He
charged Blanton with "playing poli
tics."
Hitler gels along so well because
he tells his followers that Germany
won the war, but was gypped out of
the fruits of victory. Of course, that
is inexact. America won the war,
but as far as the fruits of the victory
are concerned, Hitler is welcome to
all of ours.

Iowa Beer
Measure Clears
Last Hurdle
Permits to Be Issued in Order; Ex

Many Applications.
Des Moines, la., April 14. With
last legislative barriers to the re
turn of beer cleared away by house
concurrence in senate amendments on
the 3.2 per cent beer law, prospective
dealers made ready today to obtain
permits to handle the beverage.
State Treasurer Leo J. Wegman
said that ho had already received
more than 40 applications from
wholesalers for permits. Wegman,
who is designated as the official to
issue Class A permits to brewers and
wholesalers, said that he planned to
issue them in the order in which ap
plications are received. He said he
expected that all would be in readi-
moves were promptly blocked. One

Presiding officers of both houses
of the assembly had planned to sign
the bill late in the day after it had
been enrolled but the absence of
cuorums delayed this formality. It
was expected that the signing would
be completed Saturday so that it
might ba placed before the governor,
who will give his rrompt approval.
Acting quickly after receiving the
bill from the senate, the house today
voted 82 to 16 to concur in amend
ments made by the upper house. The
most important of these was the one
allotting state revenues from licenses
and the barrel tax to the sinking
fund.
Two Efforts to Amend.
House drys made two attempts to
amend the measure further and thus
dalay final legislative action, but the
by Representative Strachan of Hum
boldt would have changed the pro
vision for dividing revenues between
city and county governments in coun
ties where ,no municivalities have
more than 10 thousand population.
The other by Representative Bonn
stetter of Kossuth would have em
powered the state treasurer to de
duct . the cost of administration of
the act from monies received.
While city officials made ready to
enact legalizing ordinances in accord
with the mandatory provisions of the
act, federal and state officers explain
ed the procedure by which licenses
would be granted.
Gerald Jewett, collector of Inter
nal revenue, explained that before
beer may be manufactured or sold
under the federal 3.2 per cent beer
law, licenses must be obtained, three
different classes being available to
cover brewing, wholesaling and re
tailing of the beverage.
Early Sale Predicted.
The prediction that beer will go
in sale legally in Sioux City some
time Saturday was made by Mayor
W. D. Haye3.
The mayor, after conversing over
the telephone with state officials in
Des Moines, said that if the beer bill
were signed promptly by the gover
nor it could be published Saturday
afternoon and local licenses could be
issued at once.
The city council in Sioux City had
already authorized printing of form3
for Clas3 B and Class C permits,
which are issued by municipalities,
and these were printed today.

UNTERMYER ALTERS SPEECH
New Cork. Samuel Untcrmyer,
prominent lawyer, prepared an ad
dress for delivery in which ho call
ed on Jewry for a concerted world
wide boycott of German manufactur
ers in "reprisal for alleged anti-
Semetic activities in Germany, but
when the time came for him to speak
he made another speech. Asked why
he had departed from his prepared
speech, which he had sent to news
papers for publication and which he
had not countermanded, Untermyer
said he had been asked to alter his
remarks. He declined to say who
made the request.
Instead cf telling his listeners that
the world boycott should be "the next
thing we should do" as a step of re
prisal, which ho said in this pre
pared speech, Untermyer softened
this to say that Jews of the world
"would be justified" in following the
example of London Jews in refusing
to buy German goods. Untermyer did
deliver portions of his speech as he
had prepared it, merely toning down
phrases such as changing the word
"reprisal" to "defenses."
From April to November this year,
America's thirty important circuses
will move their 100 million dollars'
worth of animals and equipment over
a total of about 10,000 miles a week,
and all except five or six of them will
use motor trucks exclusively.

How to train BABY'S
BOWELS
Babies, bottle-fed or breast-fed,
with any tendency to be constipated,
would thrive if they received daily
half a teaspoonful of this old family
doctor's prescription for the bowels.
That is one sure way to train tiny
bowels to healthy regularity. To
avoid the fretfulness, vomiting,
crying, failure to gain, and other ins
of constipated babies.

to Help Labor
with New Jobs
Roosevelt Talks with Senators About
U. S. "Wage Boards To Halt
Undue Wage Cuts.
"Washington, April 14. A far-
reaching program for aiding Ameri
can labor was speeded today at the
White house with attention on pub
lie work for new jobs and establish
ment of federal wage boards to ad
minister shorter working hours and
stop undue pay cuts.
A plan to add to the 30-hour week
bill the proposal for wage boards was
discussed at a lengthy conference by
rresident' Roosevelt' with Senators
Wagner Cdem., N. Y.), LaFollette
(rep., Wis.), Cutting (rep., N. M.)
and Costigan (dem., Colo.).
LaFollette advocated a six billion
dollar bond issue for public construc
tion but no agreement was reached on
the extents of this program.
Meanwhile, Secretary Perkins ad
vocated attacks on the economic sit
uation through a "two or three bil
lion dollar public works program"
and by "fixing a bottom to wages
by some device."
Agree on Early Action
The White house conference agreed
to speed the labor legislation. Thru
separate wage boards of each indus
try, it is the intention to provide
some kind cf federal minimum wage
scale and also to administer the pro
posed 30-hour week legislation.
Modifications in the 30-hour leg
islation were favored at the White
house parley to allow for a range of
hours as may be needed in the var
ious industries.
It is understood Miss Perkins will
put before the house labor committee
shortly the administration's plan for
the wage 1 boards. Constitutional
problems in the way of providing a
federal minimum wage scale are be
ing explored.
A Slight Delay
The administration and congres
sional leaders, however, are deter
mined to'Tilock an undue slash in
wages at this time.
The chief concern is that, while
perhaps S5 or 90 per cent of the
employers in a given industry may
be willing to stand by agreements on
fair wages, their ground is cut from
under them by the other 10 or 15
per cent who attack the wage scple.
It is unlikely that the public work3
program will be completed for a week
or ten days, but the president does
Intend to propose one or probably
two or three billion dollars.
The public works proposal was
discussed with the president by Sen
ator Clark (dem., Mo. and Ch rles

tions involving human labor evin if
the cost were more. World-IItfald.
