Ox ford university, the British Broad People of Omaha e Have Right To Vote The people of Omaha are entitled to vote on the question of whether or not they wish the Nebraska Power Company and its present electric service turned over to municipal ownership. As the situation now stands, under the provisions of L. B. 204, the people do not have the right to vote on this question if Omaha’s electric service were taken over by condemnation pro ceedings. Unintentionally, no doubt—the people of Orriaha have been deprived of their right to vote on this important question— a right that has been carefully guarded for many years by Omaha’s cherished home rule charter. In order to restore to the people of Omaha their full voting rights, the Omaha on Guard Committee is now circulating peti tions. When a sufficient number of signatures have been secur ed to these petitions, either the City Commission will pass an ordinance giving the people full voting rights TO DECIDE FOR THEMSELVES as to the type of electric service they want, or the City Commission may refer this question to a Vote of the people. When a petition is presented to you, we hope you will sign it, and also help in getting other signers. PROTECT YOUR RIGHT TO VOTE ON THIS IMPORTANT QUESTION. ♦ Omaha On Guard Committee FRANK C.

Gov. Kelly also received a report from Dr. C. F. Ramsey, director, state department of public wrelfare, on interviews and pyschologic-al studies made of 340 persons arrest ed. Of the persons interviewed Ram sey said none were recent migrants to the city and 74 percent have liv ed here for five years or more. Most of them held jobs with more than two thirds in war plants with an average weekly wage of $54. Almost 40 percent of the prison ers had high school educations and 45 percent were married, the report, stated. About 25 percent were il literate and 13 percent displayed emotional qualities or psychopat hic tendencies. Eighteen percent had been rejected for military ser vice. “The interviewed men,” said r>r. Ramsey, “were not the instigators, nor did they seem to have any pre vious knowledge of planned action, but became involved mainly out of their individual reaction to the sit uation.” Meanwhile three Negroes ac«?us ed in the Dowling report with spreading inflammatory rumors are either being held by police for trial or are under sentence. They are Aaron Fox, 17, and Charles Lyons, 20, charged with the actual starting of the riot, “because they wanted to even the score for being ejected from Eastwood park five days be fore by a group of white youths.’’ The other person is Leo Tipton, (the Tipton referred to in the Dowl ing report) a check room attend ant at the Forest club, a hot spot ' Classified Ads 6et Resuits!
