Ending Racial Bias
The following is a statement on Civil Rights that Senator Hubert
H. Humphrey (D., Minn.) is making on the Floor of the Senate this
afternoon:
Civil Rights In Our Democracy
Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent to have printed in the
body of the Record a news report from The New York Times of May
29, 1955, reporting on the marked progress being made toward elim
ination of racial discrimination in the West. This news item report
ing on a survey undertaken in 13 far Western States is most reassur
ing because it reflects the marked decline in racial bias in our nation
and the growing realization that racial discrimination is incompatible
with our democratic principles and with our aspirations for a whole
some, healthy American society.
I want to add to the encouraging news reported by the New York
Times survey the information that my own State of Minnesota in this
past session of the Legislature adopted a bill to establish fair employ
ment practices in our State. This is added evidence that the true
spirit of America is a spirit of human equality.
These developments are a refreshing breath of fresh air in these
days of controversy over the implementation of equal rights for all
our citizens. The principle of human equality is the cornerstone of
political democracy Just so long as we tolerate conditions of second
class citizenship we weaken and jeopardize the fulfillment of the ob
jectives of a democratic society.
It is reassuring to see the steady progress which is being made in
the guaranteeing of civil rights to all persons regardless of race, color,
or creed. The force of events in the world and the spirit of liberal
democracy at home places increased emphasis upon the urgency of
eliminating all forms of discrimination, bigotry, and intolerance.
The Supreme Court in its decision declaring segregation in public
schools unconstitutional and calling for integration has fortified the
cause of civil righits in a most vital area.
In my judgment there has been too much irresponsible talk by a
small group of people who have been dissatisfied with the Supreme
Court decision. The task of responsible American citizenship is to set
about conscientiously and constructively to solve our Nation’s social
problems within the framework of our laws and our Constitution.
The fulfillment of the ideals and objectives of our Constitution
requires dedication, perseverance, and courage. The test of states
manship is the subordination of selfish political advantage for the
national good. There is a problem involved in the elimination of
segregation in our public schools. The Supreme Court has recognized
the proportions of this problem and has laid down a course df action
that is moderate but mandatory, reasonable but firmly declared. Let
us together as Americans recognize that problem by understanding it
and constructively helping to meet it We must get on with the job
and demonstrate effective and continuing progress.
The Constitution of the United States is the supreme law of the
land. The Supreme Court, under our Constitution, is the final author
ity in the interpreting and application of constitutional law. The
Court has declared that segregation in the public schools is a viola
tion of the supreme law of the land. The responsibility is, therefore,
upon all law-abiding citizens and on all levels of government to con
form to the Constitution. It is the responsibility of the Executive
Branch of the government to first seek observance of the law, and,
if need be, enforce the law. I am confident this will be done. Neither
the President, the Congress, any State or sub-division of government,
nor any citizen is above the Constitution.
Washington Report
By Congressman Jackson B. Chase, 2nd District, Nebraska
While America has varied tasks before it, large or small, it
seems to me that the jobs of first magnitude and overwhelming im
portance are relatively few in number. But they do directly affect
the very lives, safety, and economic welfare of all the people, as well
as closely bearing on the preservation of our traditional American
system of free government. Therefore, the proper handling of these
big jobs is of vital importance to all of us.
Those of us who are charged with the responsibility of participat
ing in this all important work to a greater or lesser degree must keep
an eye single on these problems and not permit ourselves to be de
tracted, swerved or sidetracked by considerations of minor, personal,
selfish, or partisan nature.
Some of these big jobs to which we must give our primary con
sideration are: (1) National security and adequate protection against
any potential enemy; (2) strengthening our domestic economy against
either depression or inflation by reducing as much as practicable all
unnecessary public spending and extravagance; (3) strengthening the
traditional American system of private enterprise and reducing to a
minimum governmental intrusion into and competition in this field;
(4) more decentralization of government by restoring to the local
levels many activities now inefficiently, but at great cost, carried on
at the national level; (5) more effective controls and curbs on all
monopolies which threaten to or have already attained such growth,
power, and wealth as to be in a position to disrupt the economy of
the nation and to dictate the very course of government.
NATIONAL SECURITY — I am convinced that the extension of
the Draft Act and passage of the Reserve Bill recommended by the
Administration should be completed as soon as possible. Both of
these measures are needed for the national security and overall
economy.
WEAPONS—NUCLEAR AND OTHER TYPES — Equipping our
selves with up to date weapons and letting all potential enemies know
we have them is the best insurance against attack. A number of
military experts have expressed the opinion that it is doubtful that we
would have used the big bomb in 1945 if at that time we had cause
to believe the enemy had the bomb and would immediately retaliate.
OPERATION ALERT — The evacuation of Washington a few
days ago by the Executive Branch of the Government and also the
engagement in this exercise by many other cities was worthwhile and
fully justified, even if the demonstration had done nothing more
than publicize to the world the possible horrors and devastating ef
fects of a nuclear attack. All persons of all countries must be made
to realize that perhaps their very existence depends upon the preserva
tion of peace and that any man or group who would start a nuclear
war is an enemy of all mankind. Val Peterson and other Civil De
fense leaders did a fine job in handling this exercise.
HOOVER REPORT — This report,-prepared by public spirited,
practical experts after many months of hard study and labor, points
the way to the saving of huge sums of public monies in the operation
of governmental activities. With a few exceptions, we can unhesitat
ingly follow the recommendations of this report to the benefit of the
American taxpayer.
TVA—GOVERNMENT IN BUSINESS — On June 16 the House
defeated—198 to 169—the proposal to let TVA spend 6y2 million dol
lars for the COMMENCEMENT of construction of a steam plant at
Fulton, Tennessee, to produce electric power. But it does not men
tion how many additional millions would have been required to
COMPLETE the construction plant. I voted against the proposition,
as I believe private industry, properly regulated, should be permitted
to furnish the steam power necessary for the generation of additional
electricity. If we continue to extend the operation of these govern
mental activities we might soon have a network of TV As spread over
the width and breadth of America. Should that ever occur we will
have gone far down the socialistic road.
News From Around Nebraska
The town of Seward, Nebraska has installed a city directory
in the business district which directs all visitors to the various
churches, the public buildings, hospital, pool, Concordia college,
etc.
The directory is a signboard about 12 feet high and of pro
portionate length. It directs the visitor to the various places on
the basis of blocks from the sign. The city hall, for example,
would be 1 block east, Concordia College 6 blocks east and 7 blocks
north.
Thus, even though a stranger knows nothing of the town’s
street, almost any public building can be found using the sign
board as a starting point.

Wahoo is about to announce that they have the only Chamber
of Commerce in the United States which is on wheels, the Wahoo
Newspaper revealed last week.
The men have secured an old railroad caboose which they
have placed at a selected spot along the curb in the business
section. The primary function of the old rail car is to serve
as an advertising piece for the coming rodea which is being plan
ned by the Chamber. However, when the rodeo is over, the men
plan to move it to a permanent location to be used for a Chamber
of Commerce headquarters.
It has been painted a bright yellow and has been completely
redone inside and out. •

Schuyler is going through an epidemic of light bulb break
ing. The Schuyler Sun revealed last week that on a recent date
twenty lights were out in the town. A check revealed that 14
of them had been broken. High powered air rifles or .22’s are
being used and in many instances the bulb is not only broken,
but the porcelain socket as well.

The Ord merchants put on a free circus Tuesday afternoon
of this week. The show had lions, elephants, pretty girls, trapese
artists and the whole works. The show was free and the Ord
Quiz, in last week’s issue, forecast a big attendance.

An Ord rancher, who lost a 1000 pound steer a month ago,
found him last week sandwiched into a deep ravine at a remote
spot on the ranch. The animal had been there without food or
water all of that time. It was alive, but weak, but was able to
run with the herd when it was extricated from its “living coffin.”
The critter lost 400 pounds of weight and was a little off feed
as a result of its starvation diet but was otherwise unhurt.

At Madison, Nebraska, the Madison Women’s Club plans to
conduct a series of telephone calls, urging drivers to “Slow Down
and Live.” The driving program, which is being put on over the
entire nation, is intended to save lives during the summer months
when traffic is the heaviest.

A photographer at Hartington has been sued for $30,000 libel
because an itinerant photo man didn’t like what the home town
man said on a handbill when he came to town.
The local photographer objected to the stranger coming in
to take pictures of the Hartington youngsters. On his handbill
he stated that “One of the kidnappers has set up shop in the
Hartington hotel building,” according to the Cedar County News.
Chadron has just completed a new $30,000 pumping station
located 2 y2 miles south of the city. Chadron is now using 1%
millioh gallons of water per day, the Chadron Record has reveal
ed, and the new equipment will be used to hurry the water along
through the mains, thereby increasing the amount that is deliver
ed. Plans are now underway for a new filtration plant which
will cost $48,000 and new water mains which are now on the draw
ing boards, will cost another $22,000.
» Chadron’s source of water is from a natural stream and dam
located in the hills some distance from the city.

The utilities department in Crete has been anxiously await
ing the arrival of a new Diesel engine which will supplement its
present generating capacities. But last week the department re
ceived word that their new engine would be delayed because it
had been caught on a low bridge while being shipped by truck
through Minnesota. It had to go back to the factory for re
pairs, the Crete News stated, and will be delayed 3 to 6 weeks.

Farm ponds in the vicinity of Central City are being stock
ed with bass and bluegills, the Central City Republican revealed
last week. The Fish and Wildlife Service Hatcheries from
Guttenburg, Iowa, are stocking the ponds.
Undesirable fish, such as carp, are being removed before the
bass are put in. The use of the chemical “rotenone” which
smothers the fish, took place some time ago.

Well it’s the same old story.
The cloud seeding project at Albion is all but forgotten since
it started raining out there. Proponents of the plan found that
they needed $25,000 to carry out the project and they actually
did collect nearly $13,000. But now that it rains every few days,
the ranchers and farmers are holding onto their cash.
The success of cloud seeding is always something open for
argument. The men who do the seeding point to the results
they get and tell of their wonderful successes. On the other hand,
the opponents to the plan always come back with the argument
that no one could prove it wouldn’t have rained anyway-and
that’s probably correct.
Anyhow, until it gets dry again, no one around Albion is
interested in the cloud seeding program.

Those who have traveled highway 34 across Nebraska may
recall a monument in the vicinity of Trenton. It is the Massacre
Canyon monument. However, a year or more ago when the high
way was rerouted because of the lake formed behind the Trenton
dam, the mounment became inaccesible to the average tourist.
As a result, a move is on foot now to move the monument
to a point near the new highway so that all may see it and recall
the historic events which it commemorates. The Public Mirror,
at Arapahoe revealed that the moving of the monument will cost
$3000.

N.Y. Below
Streets Alive
With Cables
Under New York’s surface are
its nervous and circulatary sy
stems — the maze of cables, pipes
and tunnels without which the
city could not live.
Recounting these little-known
aspects of the metropolis, in a
July Reader’s Digest article, J.
D. Radcliffe says there are 12
million miles of telephone wire,
44 miles of pneumatic tubes to
whisk telegrams about the city,
2,000 miles of TV circuits, water
tunnels sometimes 750 feet below
the streets, 726 miles of main
line subway trackage on which
8,700 trains carry four million
passengers daily, and 75 miles of
steam lines.
Besides these engineered mar
vels, there are such natural
phenomena as desposits of cop
per, lead and semi-precious
stones worth millions, hidden
swamps, forgotten streams and
beds of quicksand. But plain
dirt is so scarce that Madison
Square Garden must store its
supply—to be used over and over
again for circuses and horse
shows.
Ratcliffs article, condensed
from Cavalier, says New York
started going underground in
1799 when the city’s first water
company piped well water
through 12-inch logs. At inter
nals there were wooden plugs for
fire fighters — hence the term
I “fire plug.”
In 1870 New York’s first sub
jway —a 312-foot tube was a fail
ure. People decided then that
!New Yorkers would never ride
underground.

warned about people flicking cig

their dogs use the guardrails as

no one ever said anything about
being buried in oranges,” he said.

Beauty Secrets
By Rose Morgan Of New York
A Shining Crown Of Glory
One of the secrets of really
attractive, manageable hair is a
clean, dandruff-free scalp. At
tention to both the care of the
scalp itself and of your general
health are most important in
having, and keeping, a beautiful
coiffure.
Loss of sleep, nervous tension
and general ill health should be
taken care of by beauty conscious
women. If they do not, they will
find themselves losers in working
to be attractive
In addition to your health,
care of the hair should be part of
the daily ritual of your good
grooming.
j Brush The Hair
First in the list of what to do
, is to remember each day to brush
I your hair vigorously, 'working
1 outward from the scalp to the
jends with a rolling, even motion
1 of the brush. From the first
time you begin to really brush
the hair (at least 100 strokes)
you will feel the difference.
|Your scalp will tingle and glow
with the increase in circulation
of the blood, and you will be re
moving the clogging dirt which
settles in the hair and mixes
with the oil.
iDon’t be afraid to brush your
hair. No matter what you may
have thought about brushing
taking out your curls or wave,
this is not true. In fact, regular
brushing will help to preserve
your curls and improve the ap
pearance of your hair.
Massage The Scalp
Following your brushing, mas
sage the scalp, to loosen the
I of the WAtC and participate in
Operation Glamour.
Young women who are interest
ed in becoming part of this ex
clusive group should write or
call the U. S. Army Recruiter at
Room 703, Federal Office Build
ing, Omaha, Nebraska, in order
that an interview can be arranged
with Womens Army Corps pro
curement personnel and at the
same time reserve their space
for Operation Glamour and ob
tain their chance to train with
other young women from Iowa
and Nebraska.

scalp if it is too tight, and to in
rease circulation of the blood
to the roots of the hair. While
you are massaging, use a good
hair conditioning oil or cream,
taking care to rub it well into the
scalp, not simply along the strand
of the hair.
Remember, dandruff is usually
formed when dead outer skin
mixes with the oils on the scalp
and form a scale. When the
blood is not circulating and the
hair cells not performing pro
perly, the coating of dandruff
forms. It cuts off ability of each,
tiny hair to “breathe” and be
nourished as it must.
A little attention paid to the
hair and scalp daily will pay di
vidends in hair growtr, luster
and the stopping of split, crack
ing hair. For your crowning
glory, a few minutes a day in
brushing; and oiling the scalp is
time well spent.
