PARTY LINES FALL
IN 51 TO 37 VOTE ON
FILLIBUSTER RULE
Washington. I). C.. Feb. 3—In
th first voting test on the anti
lynching bill here today, the Re
publicans in the Senate joined with
south’, rn Democrats from the
worst lynching states and with
seme northern and western Demo
crats in defeating the motion for
cloture which, if carried, would
lave shut off the filibuster and
brought the (iavagan-Wagnvr-Van
Nuys ant’-lynching b’U up for a
vote in sh< rt order.
Tho vote was 51 against cloture'
and 37 for it.
When analyzed. th:s vote does
not mean that the bill, if voted
upon, would have been lost. S>. na
tter McNary, Republican minority
leader, stated his party would vote
for the bill. bu,t not for cloture.
In addition, there are numerous
Democrats and Independents who
voted for cloture who will vote for
the bill when and if it comes to
a vote. The bill will pass with at
brought
Senator Arthur Capper, of Kan
sas, was the only Republican who
voted for cloture. He said he would
stand by tho bill through thick
and thin and he did so.
Another remarkable thing about
the cloture vote, was that Senator
Robert M. LaFollette (f Wiscon
sin. voted for the first time in his
lit', for cloture. Senator LaFollette
■iid the filibuster against the. anti
lynching bill was the “most dis
graceful ever s'i.en’’ and a “break
d< wn of democracy.’’ Two others
of the most famous Senate liberals
wtrtt back on their records and
voted against cloture. They were
Morris, of Nebraka, and Lundeen,
, f Minry.'solt-i, S etna tors Thomas
and La* of Oklahoma and Chavez
of New Mexico also voted for clo
ture, going down the line for the
bill. Senator John Milton, newly
appointed senator from New Jer
sey, voted against cloture, hut said
he would vote for the bill. Sena
tors Barkley and Logan of Ken
tucky both voted for cloture,
t was reported that the announ
cement that the hoc of Republican
votes would be against cloture pro
bably swung a dozen weak-kneed
Democratic votes against cloture
also.
Not only did Rebublicans, vote.

For the first time in history,

Nebraska network next Sunday
afternoon. The first of a series of
Nebraska “White Hip t1' musical
variety programs will be presented
simultaneously from these stations,
Clark Standiford of Keamety, pre
sident of the Nebraska Broadcast
ers Association, announced today. !
The half hour programs, to be
presented rai-h Sunday at 2:30 p.
m.. Central Standard Time, are
the contribution of the Nebraska
Broadcasters Association and the
Junior Chambers of Commerce of
the state to the national Nebraska
advertising campaign. They will

Omaha and be picked up by seven
others stations over special anten
’ae erected for wireless reception.

“The Nebraska Broadcasters As

as a means of informing the thou
sands of listeners throughout the
middle west about the wonderful
opportunities and advantages Ne- |
braska offers to industry,’’ Mr. i
Standiford said. “Our state has an
interesting and valuable, message
for the world. We want the world
to know about Nebraska’s resour
ces, its abundance of raw materials
for manufacture, its unexcelled
transportation facilities, its mar
kets and adequate, labor—in short,
the opportunities this state offers
new industries to thrive here.
“We want to tell the world, too,
about our state's unique and whole
some financial situation,’1 Standi
ford added. “Nebraska has an equ
ally interesting story to tell th
world in regard to to its freedom
from state debt which has made it
unnecessary for us to resort to
any of those new forms of taxa
I tion such as sales, income and lux
ury taxes.

Quick Methods Cpok
Vegetables Hotter
'New cooking methods have re
duced cooking tint: to _a marked
degree,' according to T. A. Le.isen,
general manager of the Metropol
itan Utilities District. ‘ These new
niethi ds result in a two way ec
onomy because the valuable min
erals of vegetables are preserved
and less fuel is required.
Each type of vegetable and the
amount to be cooked on trp of the
gas range exacts a different de
gree of heat to cook it properly.
Yet no matter what the method a
I'ccipe calls for. the job must be
done by heat—a flexible, depend
able intense h at.
“When the housewife adopts
short cut cookery she finds the in
stantaneous heat andquick simmer
adjustment of the modern auto
matic gas range more than e"er im
portnnt because the flame may be
adjusted to the point where a
gentle boil is maintained to cook
the vegetable without breaking
down its fibers.
‘Two methods for boiling veget
ables in ordi r to retain the highest
percentage of vitamins and min
erals so necessary to health, as
Will as that fresh color and flavor
are suggested:
“Waterless method: use any
saucepan provid d it has a closely
fitted cover. Add water to about a
half inch in depth and when it
boils, drop in the vegetable. Cover.
Once steaming begins, reduce the
flame to the simmer stage—or six
tiny points of flame within the
burner cup.
“Low water method: add veget
able to the saucepan, pouring over
enough boiling water to almost
cover: when boiling begins turn
the* cock of the burner t sim
mer flame in order t. ;n a
gentle boil. Veget"'' ' •> b*
salted either at ’ ' g n : g or
end of "o'king.’’
