Senate Journal Is Cited Against
Dwight G ris wold in Cam
paign Blast.
Lincoln, Neb., Oct. 2S. The dem
ocratic state committee issued a
statement olfering the evidence de
manded by Dwight Griswold, repub
lican governor candidate, for demo
cratic claims that he sought to re
peal the primary election la.v while
a member of the state legislature.
The statement quotes Griswold as
saying Friday, "They say I sought
the repeal of the primary law. It is
untrue and if they can prove it, I am
willing to withdraw from the repub
lican ticket."
The statement continues with pur
ported references in the official Sen
ate Journal of the 192S legislature,
showing that Griswold introduced,
sponsored, voted for and moved for
overriding the governor's veto of a
bill numbered Senate File 105,
which proposed amendments to the
primary law.
The statement then quotes the
veto message of the then Governor
"Weaver, a republican, in part as fol
lows: "We now know that Senate
File 105 would have destroyed the
presidential primary preference in
Nebraska, would have provided for
the election of delegates to the state
and national conventions by secret
vote, would have taken from the peo
ple - thoir Tight to elect-their dele
gates and national committeemen;
and later after these were all elim
inated would have repealed the pro
visions prohibiting the convention
from either indorsing or criticizing
candidates, which provision is indis
pensable if we are to maintain a fair
and open primary."

Bald.

Accident Toll
Seen Lessened by
Housing Act
High Percentage of Misnaps Occui
Around Eome, Figures Show;
Hazards in Garages.
Success of the Federal Housing
Administration's Better Housing
movement is seen as materially re
ducing the heavy annual toll in lives'
lost and injuries inflicted by com
mon hazards in homes and business
places.
Of the more than 100,000 fatal
ities and the 500,000 serious in
juries recorded annually, from one
quarter to one-third result from ac
cidents in or about the home, statis
tics of the Bureau of Standards, De
partment of Commerce, indicate.
The list of causes includes, gas
leaks, fires starting from detective
flues, heating apparatus, bad root
ing and accumulated rubbish. Loose,
poorly constructed banisters and
broken stair steps. "Blistered" oi
outworn linoleum, faulty ranges or
gas plates, explosion of combustibles
and improperly fused electrical cir
cuits. Hazards in Garages.
Garages in various stages of dis
repair present a number of hazards.
Broken walls and rotted steps, to
gether with warped porch Mooring
claim a heavy tell, particularly in
the winter time.
Many of the more common haz
ards can, and are now being elimi
nated at moderate cost to the prop
erty owner under the modernization
program. Others that are basically
a part of the structure are being
done away with under remodeling
projects.
Since the housewifa Is "safety di
rector" of the home, the field is one
for cultivation by the members o
women's clubs, parent-teacher asso
ciaiions and kindred organizations.
A tie-in of such forces with the Bet
ter Housing movement is seen as
certain to produce telling results in
abating this menace to women and
children.
Points of the home which, at this
season of the year, should be given
the most scrupulous attention in
clude stairs, both inside and outside.
Are they equipped with solidly af
fixed rails? Are the interior stairs
provided with adequate lighting?
Are they at all times kept free ot
movable objects?
Danger in Bathroom
Is the bathtub provided with safe
ty hand hold if the tub is built-in?
Is the bathroom floor free of danger
out sliding mats? Parenthetically
the bathroom which is outmoded and
illy maintained is the scene of an
appalling number of accidents each
year.
Are the porches, if raised, provid
ed with safety railings? Are the
floorings and steps leading to the
porches sound? Has the home a spe
cial closet fitted with lock for the
storage of combustible materials
such as gasoline, kerosene, stove
polish, cleaning fluids and the like?
Has it a cabinet where medicines
antiseptics and other poisonous com
pounds can be kept safely away from
the children? Are all gas cocks in
order and are the electric lights in
kitchen and bath controlled by wall
switches?
All of these suggested hazards and
many others can be eliminated at
moderate cost by including them in
the list of repairs proposed with a
loan obtained under the moderniza
tion credit plan. Neglect may lead
to an accident with resultant doc
tors' bills far in excess of the cost
elimination of these hazards would
entail.

the relief administrator, said relief

rural districts of North Dakota,
South Dakota, Arkansas, and pos
sibly some other states. He explain
ed he had decided to provide relief
money to keep rural schools open in
states and districts which could not
otherwise operate them. Already he
has decided the three states were
unable to meet the situation them

Disease War
Plans Drawn
at Washington
Relief Administration Aiming tc
Combat Poverty Death Rate
in the United States.
Washington, Oct. 2S. Confront
ed by a higher death rate among the
destitute than among others, the re
lief administration moved today to
tighten its defenses against disease.
Dr. Clifford E. Waller, newly ap
pointed medical director, was charged
with seeing that destitute families
share more fully in public health
advances.
Relief officials 6aid they hoped to
duplicate in other, fields the showing
already made against pellagra, the
dietary deficiency disease which
causes some insanity and many
deaths.
"Pellagra, the country's outstand
ing nutritional disease, has been
falling off rapidly since the depres
sion and relief activities began," Dr.
Waller said. "The national death
rate and the infant mortality rate
have been coming down, too, in
spite of economic conditions."
Employment of medical directors
by every state relief administration
is one of the steps proposed by Dr.
Waller. He believes, too, that more
emphasis might well be placed on
immunization against r.pccific dis
eases, community sanitation project?
and the like.
As to medical aid for persons on
relief, Dr. Waller made it clear that
the relief program wa3 intended
only to supplement the care ordin
arily given by local and state health
authorities.

"Please, get out of the way,"
