Senator Adams’ amendment!,* pleaded for on grounds the governor’s estimate of social security needs is three to seven million dollars too small, ga thered a 20-to-20 vote and lost for want of n majority. The amendment was recon sidered in the Senate Wednes day morning and voted down 28 to 13. Senator Adams said that there was not much like lihood of his amendment being voted into the gasoline tax bill but that the forthcoming Li quor tax bill would perhaps ab sorb the deficiency by the de duction of the .fi of a cent levy for additional highway use. Apparently taking cogniz ance of statements that Dou glas county presents 37 per cent of the relief burden al though containing only 17 per cent of state population, all Omaha Senators supported the Adams amendment. Needed by Poor “In 1935 and 1936 roads got 12 million dollars, or two mil lion more than they anticipat ed, yet now they are seizing two millions more that belong to and are sorely needed by the poor and aged," Senator Adams declared summing up an all morning floor fight on his amendment. On February 15th Senator Adams memorial to congress to pass the federal anti lynching bill was unanimously adopted by the legislature. This resolu tion was as follows: Now therefore be it resolved by the Legislature of the State of Nebraska assembled: 1. That this legislature does most earnestly petition ' and memorialize Congress and the President of the United States to enact a Federal Anti Lynch law for the prevention of lynch ing in this Nation. 2. That the Chief Clerk of this Legislature be instructed and directed forthwith to for ward a copy of this Resolution properly authenticated and suitably engrossed to the Pre sident of the United States, to the Vice President, to each of the Senfitors and Representa tives representing this state in the National Congress and to the Secretary of the Judiciary Committee of the Senate.
