PKCTEST FROM DEMOCRATS
Democrats buzzed with criticism
of the state board of educational
lands and funds as a result of its
appointment of Van L. Taylor as old
age assistance supervisor under the
new social security program.
Taylor was bus supervisor for the
Nebraska railway commission prior
to 1935 and democrats insist he was
a republican. His salary as old age
assistance supervisor was fixed at
$140 a month.
Leo Swanson, state land commis
sioner and secretary of the board,
said Taylor was elected unanimously
Governor Cochran, Secretary of
State Harry Swanson, Attorney Gen
eral Wright and the land commis
sioner all voting for him. State
Treasurer George E. Hall, the other
member of the board, was absent.
All are democrats except Leo Swan
son. "Boy, it's a prairie fire," Secretary
of State Swanson said. He said he
did not know who Taylor was when
he voted for him and said he received
many telephone calls from democrats
protesting the appointment.
"One apple won't spoil the bar
rel," Leo Swanson, the only republi
ca nmember of the board, said, grinning.
PASTORS AT GRAND ISLAND

public meeting at the church Wed
nesday evening.
A. F. Buechler, editor of the Inde
pendent, addressed the pastors in the
afternoon, on the subject of "The
Pres3 and the Pulpit." Rev. F. A.

Dont
Guess But
Know
Whether the "Pain"
Remedy You Use
is SAFE?
Don't Entrust Your
Own or Your Family's
Well -Being to Unknown
Preparations
THE person to ask whether the
preparation you or your family
are taking for the relief of headaches
is SAFE to use regularly is your
family doctor. Ask him particularly
about Genuine BAYER ASPIRIN.
He will tell you that before the
discovery of Bayer Aspirin most
"pain" remedies were advised
against by physicians as bad for the
stomach and, often, for the heart.
Which is food for thought if you
seek quick, safe relief.
Scientists rate Bayer Aspirin
among the fastest methods yet dis
covered for the relief of headaches
and the pains of rheumatism, neu
ritis and neuralgia. And the experi
ence of millions of users has proved
it safe for the average person to use
regularly. In your own interest re
member this.
You can get Genuine Bayer
Aspirin at any drug store simply
by asking for it by its full name,
BAYKR ASPIRIN. Make it a
point to do this and see that you
get what you want.
Bayer Aspirin
Criticized by Medical Society for the
Handling of Epidemic of bcar
let Fever in Metropolis
The Omaha-Douglas County Medi
cal society, in a public statement
veiled criticism of the manner in
which the city health department!
handled recent spread of scarlet
fever in the .metropolis and request
ed city commissioners to "organize
and staff the health department with
a personnel to co-operate with phy
sicians of the comr.iur.iti'." More than
CCO rases of scarlet fever were re
I crted during December.
Criticism voiced in the medical
society's statement, issued over the
signature of Doctor Herman Jahr,
secretary, wns directed at Dr. Millard
Langfeld, public health director.
Two weeks ago. Doctor Langfeld,
in zti appearance before the council
board of the society, suggested that
many of the cases described as scar
let fever might really be duke's dis
ease, a form cf German measles. The
council referred the matter to its
preventive medicine committee, which
in turn railed the problem to the
attention of the Nebraska pediatric
society, a group of child specialists
within the medical society.
The public statement said "the
pediatric society was of the unani
mous opinion that the disease which
has been of unusual prevalence dur
ing the past two months is scarlet
fever."
The statement continued:
"Calling the epidemic duke's dis
ease, scarlatina or German measles
does not help in its control, but rath
er add3 confusion to both physicians
and public and creates a tendency
toward lax Quarantine."
"City health department through
its director was entirely unjustified
in announcing that the disease in
many cases is not scarlet fever. Such
methods of publicity tend to under
mine the confidence of the family in
its physician and creates antagonism
in the physician toward the health
authorities. The situation further
more endangers the health of the
community ," the statement read.
JIMMY DALE WINS PAROLE

FILINGS AT BROKEN BOW
Redrafter Farm
Bill Favored by
Congress Chiefs
"Everybody Happy," Says Secretary
of Agriculture Wallace of New
Agricultural Program.
A new stop gap farm bill, de
scribed as retaining the principle of
individual subsidies for soil conser
vation as a stepping stone to a per
manent federal - state co - operative
plan, emrged from another round of
fast moving congressional develop
ments.
While President Roosevelt was tell
ing his press conference at Washing
ton, his ultimate goal was to make
agriculture "as productve as it was
100 years ago," the all-democratic
senate agriculture subcommittee,
which Thursday rebelled against the
original Jones-Bankhead bill, unani
mously agreed on a redraft prepared
overnight at the agriculture depart
ment. Its details were withheld by Chair
man Smith (d., S. C.) until after its
presentation Saturday to the full
committee. Senator Bankhead (d.,
Ala.), whose original draft Smith op
posed vigorously on constitutional
grounds, told newmen: "It is satis
factory to me. Draw your own con
clusions."
Agrees on Modification.
Chairman Jones (d., Tex.) of the
house agriculture committee, after
going over the redraft with Smith,
said: "The modifications suggested
in the main, in my personal Judg
ment, would be helpful." The house
committee also will consider the new
draft Saturday.
While Bankhead insisted the
changes were minor, other than the
major addition providing that after
two j ears grants would be made only
to states co-operating in a permanent
farm plan yet to be worked out.
Smith commented: "Wait till you
see the revision. '
Secretary Wallece, who appeared
before both senate and house groups,
merely said: "Everybody's happy."
The committee actively was accom
panied by these other developments
on the farm question:
1 President Roosevelt coupled his
long-time objective of making agri
culture as productive as it was a cen
tury ago with a hope that farm legis
lation to replace the AAA would be
possible without a constitutional
amendment.
2 Louis B. Ward, an adviser of
Father Coughlin, invited a score of
infiation-minded senators to a hotel
dinner to discuss informally what
some described as ways and means to
maintain far mparity prices thru a
further cheapening7 'ot the dollar.
Potato Control Stranded.
3 The house, without a dissent
ing vote, declined to appropriate
funds to enforce the potato control
act.
4 The house passed the deficiency
appropriation bill with an amend
ment carrying $295,185,000 to pay
farmei-3 a "moral obligation" for
carrying out acreage reduction con
tracts entered into prior to the su
preme court decision invalidating the
AAA.
5 Senator Smith said southern
senators had agreed to draft legis
lation calling for systematic feeding
of government-controlled cotton into
trade channels, with proceeds In ex
cess of the 12 cent loans and clearing
charges going to producers.
6 The agriculture committtee of
the chamber cf commerce of the Unit
ed States, met with farm organization
leaders, but made no recommenda
tions. The committee will report to
chamber directors next week.
BABY FREEZES IN ITS CRIB
Milwaukee. Raymond Russell
Harling, two months old son of a
WPA worker, froze to death in his
crib because there was no coal to
heat the house. Earl Harling, rush
ed into a police station, his nose
frost bitten, and shouted that hi3
baby was stiff in his bed. Detectives
dashed to the house and took the in
fant to an emergncy ehospital but it
was pronounced dead on arrival.
District Attorney Zabel said he
would investigate after hearing
Harling's story that he had run out
of coal a week ago and the relief
department refused to give him more
because he was a WPA worker earn
ing ?60 a month.

Telephone 128
Washington. Controversy oyer
the broadcasting of Governor Tal
madge's address to a conference of
anti-new deal "Jeffersonian demo
crats" at Mason, Gs., next Wednes
day was at least partially ended when
officials of the Columbia Broadcast
ing company agreed to broadcast Tal-
madge's speech Without, charge over
a nationwide hookup.
Involved in the controversy was an
attempt by Morris A. Bealle, pub
lisher of a magazine to make ar
rangements for Talmadge's speech to
be "piped" to Mexico by telephone
broadcast from Macon. The Georgia
governor previously had failed to get
radio time on United States net
works.
A permit from the federal com
munication commission was necessary
to send the speech across the Mexican
border and Bealle, believing the com
munications commission intended to
plgeon-hiole hi application, pre
pared to petition the District of Co
lumbia supreme court for a writ of
mandamus this week.
Ord, Neb. Heading a petition
