Co-Ordinator of Transportation Jo
seph B. Eastman Bids Fair
to Lose His Job.
Washington. Unless President
Roosevelt brings direct pressure on
congress democratic leaders agreed
that the office of federal co-ordinator
of transportation, one of the new
deal agencies, would be permitted to
expire June 16, Joseph B. Eastman,
the co-ordinator, also said that if
congress did not pass his bill for the
reorganization of the interstate com
mission his office probably would be
abolished.
"My Job as federal co-ordinator of
transportation is fast nearing the
end of its appointed life on June 16
next, and whether or not it will be
given a new lease of life I do not
know," Eastman said. Eastman has
recommended the reorganization of
the interstate commerce commission
anu the creation of a permanent co
ordinator of transportation, but J
majority of the commission is opposed
to the legislation.
Most of the railroads are opposed
to continuation of the co-ordinator's
office, which was created two years
ago by congress to produce economy
and facilitate reorganization of the
rail carriers. Motor bus and truck
operators, however, generally favor
the reorganization bill and continu
ation of the co-ordinator. Legisla
tion to put them under regulation of
the commission appears likely of en
acentment at this session.
President Roosevelt has been in
formed by congressional leaders that
with the interstate commerce com
mittees handling the utility holding
company legislation and other press
ing matter enactment of his program
to .place ' all transportation systems
under ttie interstate commerce com
mission at th(s session would be dif
ficult, particularly in view of opposi
tion to the reorganization bill. 'East
man has proposed -that the commis
sion be divided into sections to han
dle rail, ? waterway, air and motor
types of transportation.
J. R. Carnahan, state director of
the federal emergency relief admin
istration work division, and L. A.
White, state director of the federal
emergency rural rehabilitation divi
sion, Monday at Lincoln were map
ping details of a soil erosion control
program on the basis of a possible
$100,000 Nebraska grant.
Rowland Kaynes, Nebraska federal
relief administrator, returned from
Washington with an unconfirmed
promise of the' grant which awaits
verification.
Tentative plans indicate the use
of extension division county agents
and county work relief directors to
handle the soil erosion control or
ganization. The work probably will
depend largely on listing of fields, a
method which authorities said has
often proved successful.
Dean W. W. Burr of the University
of Nebraska agricultural college
said $100,000 was not adequate, but
would be "a great help."
Haynes said he expected definite
word from Washington by the middle
of next week.
No indication he might be shift
ed from Nebraska to some other re
lief post was noticed in Washington,
Haynes said. He reported May allot
ments likely will be reduced in many
states, but that he was attempting
to have Nebraska reductions post
poned due to already decreased funds
which necessitated withdrawals from
the state surplusses.
FIGHT TO BAR DUST DEATH
Beaver, Okl. Physicians fought to
check the spread of respiratory ill
nesses in the southwest-drouth re
gion with dust blamed by Red Cross
official as a contributing cause to six
pneumonia deaths in a week.
"The persistent dust laden air,"
said Dr. E. A. McGrew of the Beaver
hospital, "is causing more and more
infections of the respiratory tract
and the more serious cases are surely
the most fatal lunch infections I have
ever seen."
Three persons were dead and a
dozen hospitalized here. Another
dozen were dead in other parts of
the Oklahoma panhandle; two were
dead in Seward county, Kas., and one
at Walsh, Colo., as silt clouds blew
fitfully over the area.
One of the , most critical cases in
the hospital here was that of Miss
Sadie Bonendlust, a nurse, who was
ordered to bed ten days ago by phy
sicians after she had cared for dust
patients for several weeks.
Physicians said the disease is un
like the ordinary form of pneumonia.
The three who died here breathed
naturally until they succumbed and
each Avas ill for several days before
death.
Cloth dust masks, scoffed at by
some, worn gratefully by others, were
turr.d out by the hundreds at Red
Cross headquarters in Wichita and
Topeka, Kas., to be shipped to strick
en communities of the high plains
wheat and cattle country.

of neighbors. It was the occasion of
his birthday. In fact it was rather a
group birthday party, Mrs. C. D.
Geary having a birthday on the same
date, and Mrs. Fern Topliff only one
day earlier. Most of the evening
was spent playing pinochle, after
which the beautiful birthday cakes
aad refreshments were served from
the filled baskets.
The following were-present: Mr.

HOPE TO CLEAN UP THE
"150 CLUB" DRIVE SOON
Although response has been rather
slow and only a few canvassers have
turned in completed lists, it is hoped
to clean up the "150 club" drive by
the end of the present week, or early
next week, at the latest. Nearly every
other town in the Arbor Lodge dis
trict has turned in its Scout dues to
the Cornhusker area headquarters at
Lincoln, and Plattsmouth, which was
among the early ones in last year
cannot afford to lag this week. The
annual dues are $1 per member, out
of which is paid the Plattsmouth ap
portionment of $90, insurance on tho
Scout cabin, telephone service during
the summer season and other over
head expense.
Canvassers having lists out are be
ing urged to get them in as quickly
as possible. Members of the club may
also make payment of their dues for
the current year to E. H. Wescott.

Truck operators registered under
the code of fair competition for the
trucking industry will be given pref
erential treatment in the granting of
certificates and permits by the inter
state commerce commission when
that agency assumes jurisdiction over
highway transportation operations.
A bill proposed by Joseph B. East
man, federal transportation co-ordin
ator, and which has passed the sen
ate, provides that code registration
"shall be evidence of bona fide oper
ation to be considered in connection
with the issuance" of a certificate,
permit or license. The bill further
provides that operators must have
been in business in 1934 and con
tinued in business prior to the effec
tive date of the act, in order to be
entitled to a permit or certificate.

Grain Sorghums
to Replace Many

Growing Atlas Sorgo.

E. F. Woodward, Thayer county
commissioner living east of Chester,
is one Xebrakan who believes in
growing grain sorghums. They are
largely replacing corn on his farm
for livestock feed.
Woodward's example is being fol
lowed more extensively than ever, as
more farmers now are thinking of
putting in sorghums within the next
few weeks. A grower of kaffir corn
for more than twelve years and an
enthusiast about Atlas sorgo, this
farmer will increase his plantings.
"Under present conditions, we've got
to do something like this," he says.
Production records for the past
few years prove that Woodard's
plantings have been highly success
ful. Last year where corn failed to
make any feed' at all, Atlas sorgo
made 1 1-2 tons of fodder per acre.
In other years it has also outyielded
corn. In 1929 in o variety test held
on the Woodard farm, thirteen acres
of kaffir corn produced 420 bushels
of grain while corn in an identical
field did not make more than eight
bushels.
In growing his sorghums, he us
ually planted at the rate of five acres
for every bushel, or about 10 to 12
pounds per acre. Ke puts it in with
a lister and plants usually about
May 20. The Atlas will ripen in that
section, and give fairly good grow
ing conditions, will produce large
tonnage of roughage.
Tests conducted by the Thayer
county farm bureau in recent years
point to the practicability of grow
ing more sorghums in that area and
Agricultural Agent W. R. Wicks, an
