C. With the country as subversion-minded as it has been for the past decade, you would expect more indignation at the burning of fiery crosses before the homes of Chief Justice Earl Warren, Associate Justice Felix Frankfurter, former Solicitor Simon S. Sobeloff and other high government officials as well as an NAACP leader. Inci dentally, a partially burned sign in front of Sobeloff’s apartment house bore the words “Sobeloff..:_Jew.” President Eisenhower reportedly expressed personal in terest in the case. Eight D. C. police officers were assigned to work with the FBI on it. A young man confessed setting some of the crosses. He was charged with "kindling a bon fire between sundown and sunrise," forfeited $20 bond and was released. The whole business reminds us of the attitude toward the Con federate flag fad that swept the country a few years ago (except that this is worse). Why the Civil Rights Bills Failed By a series of parliamentary maneuvers southern senators, with the aid of Majority Leader Lyndon Johnson, have succeeded in block ing Senate floor discussion of civil-rights legislation for this session. One would hardly oppose the broad objective of civil-rights legis lation: to insure that every American can exercise his right to vote; that every American can expect a fair and speedy trial. One would hardly support as a general proposition the tactic of stopping legisla tion by bottling it up, not voting it down. Yet Senator Johnson and his followers probably took the only course they could under the circumstances of the moment. It has been apparent ever since the civil-rights bill came up in the House that such legislation either would be shelved in Senator Eastland’s Judiciary Committee or be filibustered to death on the Senate floor. In the latter event, as Senator Johnson has pointed out, no other legislation would be acted on in these closing days of the session. With these near-certainties writ large, it has been apparent also that the vote in the House was chiefly to allow a number of northern congressmen to go on record for certain of their constituents. As seen by the white South, what came out of Washington as the tension over desegregation heightened was not an effort to raise a i biracial leadership seeking orderly adjustments but legislative pro posals looking like further intrusion of federal action into what has been deemed the states’ domain. One could hardly rejoice over these developments. But to under stand them can help greatly in the long run. ■ Let's Stay in the Road If all the road construction planned under the 33 billion dollar bill approved last week were built in a single lane it would exceed the distance from the earth to the moon. The great economic benefits of the road building plan are ob vious. But there is a price to pay. And the motorist must pay it. Principal source of revenue for the new highways will be an addi tional one cent tax on each gallon of gas. Just one cent. Not much in itsself. But added to all the other pennies that have been tacked onto the cost of gasoline it comes to a considerable total. California drivers pay nine cents now on every gallon of gas — six cents state aiitf three cents federal. Naiu~d,yi the motorist hopes there will be no further increase in gas costs eitner «:a taxes or for f»thtr reasons. The gas tax, it would appear, has jusi about re_£ed the limif of what the traffic— and the motorist—can be. ~. *s to other costs, tire depletion of our oil reserves through waste could lead to greatly incre;~'5jed dependence on foreign imports and result in higher prices. ws, Effort are now being made to head off this possibility Jirough the Oil Conservaiton Act which will appear on the November b«Llot as Proposition No. 4. The elimination of waste and the use of ttu\ most scientific recovery methods which the act would promote could vastly increase our potential oil reserve. We must have better roe.ds. But we must watch that the cost of motoring doesn’t become so excessive as to drive us off the road. yp* The Crowded Skies The collision of the two giant airliners over the Arizona Grand Canyon has given dramatic and tragic emphasis to the fact that air regulations haven’t kept up with the growing volume of air traffic. Warnings have been sounded many times about the growing danger. The Civil Aeronautics Code governing air transportation was set up more than 20 years ago. Yet the change since then in traffic volume has been fantastic. In 1938, for instance, there were 22 certified air lines in tne United States. Now there are 56. In 1938 the number of passengers carried was about one and one-half million. Now it’s over 41 million annually Back in the 1930’s at many airports where planes arrived and departed about every half hour or 15 minutes, the traffic now moves 'r and out as fast as the control towers can handle it And even th«. control facilities are already overtaxed, the worst is yet to eome. ^fext year the first of the jet airliners will take to the skies carrying . rny more passengers and moving at greatly increased speeds. * There is nee<_ action now to modernize traffic control methods. Even while studies _ o being made for a complete overhaul of the control system, some in*. task of keeping these giant machines out of the way of one another." get with it. IT’S YOUR MOVE Here Are Money Savers News From Around Nebraska Up at South Sioux City this week the town was all worked up for awhile over the disappearance of two small boys. The boys had been playing in their yard Sunday and were first no ticed missing at about 11 a.m. When the parents of the boys could not find them at 3:30 that afternoon the fire whistle was sounded to organize a searching party. Shortly after the whistle blew the two boys came home and asked. “Is dinner ready yet, Mom??” The boys had thought the whistle was the noon whistle and decided they had better go home for dinner. The Dakota County Star reported that the boys got their dinner and a lecture. * * * Very few cities and towns in Nebraska are blessed with peo ple who really help cement the future of community projects. At Osceola, Nebraska the Osceola Record reports that Dr. C. W. Jeffery of that community did a top flight job of cementing a public School. Dr. Jeffery was asked to lay the cement and cornerstone for the new school. Previous to Dr. Jeffery’s actual cementing of the cornerstone of the new institution the Dr. cemented its financial success by his gift amounting to $140,700 representing approximately half the entire cost of the bonds. The gift was made by his decision to cancel all bonds, interest and principal after the year 1969. The Crete News related a freak accident that took place in Crete Sunday afternoon. Three teen-age girls were walking down one of the streets in the Crete Business District. One of the girls turned suddenly, stumbled backwards and crashed through a plate glass door of a doctor’s office. The girl was taken to the Crete Hospital where glass was removed from her arms and deep cuts stitched. The girl was released from the Hospital the next day. • * • Where ever there is a will there is a way. Out at Hartington, Nebraska a small kitten got itself into real trouble last week as it toppled into a deep well. The Cedar County News revealed that rescue efforts for getting the kitten back up to the surface were useless. The kitten would not climb into a bucket or jump onto a board tied to one end of a rope. Finally one of the on lookers had a thought. A small sparrow was caught. The sparrow was tied to the end of a rope and lowered into the well. Sure enough the kitten clamped its jaws arwind the sparrow and the rope. The kitten was pulled up to safety. The Cedar County News did not say whether the kitten got to keep the sparrow for dinner or not. * * * Bids will be let soon on a new addition to the Tekamah High School the Burt County Plaindealer revealed this week. The Tekamah School is being faced with the same problem most schools are experiencing—overcrowding. It is hoped the build ing will be started this summer. The new addition will include band, home economics, shop and vocational agriculture class rooms. * * * Every Chamber of Commerce seems to be constantly trying to think up new ways of creating business for their area. Some try “Pancake Days,” “Bargain Days,” “Frontier Days,” etc. etc. The Albion News reports that a new kind of day will be held in Albion for the second consecutive year. They have what they call “Stinker Days.” The merchants drag out all the old mer chandise that they couldn’t sell during the last year and offer the “stinkers” for sale at prices that will make them move. Last year the Albion Chamber of Commerce tried the stunt and found it so successful that they are trying it again this year. * * * Oil hopes in the Chadron, Nebraska area were darkened con siderably this week with the announcement oil rigs were pulling up stakes. Mr. Eban D. Warner, who has been trying to find oil in the Chadron area since the 1920’s pulled up stakes and headed back for Texas. Warner had several successful wells in Texas and was confident that oil would be as plentiful in the Chadron area as it is now becoming in other parts of western Nebraska. Chadron had great hopes for oil earlier in the drillings when one of the wells spouted gas that would burn directly from the well casing. The gas well did not produce enough marketable oil or gas. Mr. Warner said that there was plenty of oil in the Chadron area but that major oil companies were not ready to pay the price that it would take to recover the black gold at this time. * * * Just to show you that you can get into trouble no matter what kind of a conveyance you might happen to choose we refer you to the Chadron Record once again. Out at Chadron it seems the most dangerous things on the road are combines. The past week two combines loaded on trucks met on a highway. They stopped with a bang. Ore of the combines suffered $1500 damages. Later the same, week a combine was being moved from one field to another down another highway. The combine was going down a steep canyon road when a drive belt broke. The brakes would not stop the huge machine and the driver jumped. A truck followed the machine to the bottom of the canyon where it clipped off an evergreen tree and smashed against a bank. The truck clocked the combine at 50 miles an hour. * ik * The Papillion Times discovered this week that “Old Dobbin” is making a comeback. The Times hastily continued that the saddle horse riding hobby had caused the increase while the farm work horses are still on the way out. The Sarpy County Assessor 1955 and 1956 assessments indicate the horse and mule popula tion has advanced from 342 to 364. Riding horses moved from 115 to 168. This indicated the continued drop in work animals. * * * The old “before and after” way of selling someone on a thing was graphically shown in the Schuyler Sun this week. The Sun showed pictures of fields irrigated and in contrast a barren strip of land not irrigated. The Schuyler area is turning to ir rigation rapidly. Also pictured in the Sun were two cucumbers. The cucumbers were 23% inches long and weighed three pounds three ounces. The cucumbers were grown (you guessed it) in an irrigated garden. • * • All around the state just like this area the populace has had great trouble with persons stealing lightning rods and ground .Sables. The Ord Quis relates that a sharp eyed policeman in that arct ^caught two of the thieves with the goods this week. In the Ord an.0 the thefts were even made in broad daylight. The Ord policeman jgotted the strange car parked at Ord. The car had a minor mechani'al failure but the policeman investigated. The back of the car wj* full of lightning rods and cable. Later the two men admitted the* stolen the rods and cable from nearby rural schools. Sentences 90 days in jail and $100 fines were imposed on them. • • • The Wahoo Industrial Committee 4# faced with actual but not very polite ultimatum of “Either put up shut up.” The ultima tum came from the Commodore Mobile h^’Sjes Corporation of Omaha. That firm will move to Wahoo if the Wahoo Industrial Committee can raise $50,000 for a location and buUat&g, If Wahoo can not raise the money the firm moves to Fall City wi?#re the money is available. The Wahoo Newspaper stated that is going to be a real test as to whether Wahoo businessmen a£-d citizens want industry enough to pay the bill for it. It was point- ’ ed that the firm will employ 100 men with an annual payroll of $400,000. . 1 . DOLLARS SENT AWAY FOR PRINTING * Never Come Back* Let U* Do Your Printing Howard On Committee Of Gov't.

NEGRO DEMOCRATS TO DEMAND STRONG 'RIGHTS' PLANK SAN FRANCISCO. — More than 20 Negro Democrats leaders from various northern and border states, in attendance at the NACCP convention, today met in formally to discuss the necessity of the Democratic Party’ adopting a strong civil rights plank and nominating a presidential candi date who unequivocally will sup port such a plank. These leaders stated that they were convinced that if the Dem ocratic party is to win the presi dential and congressional elec tions in November, it must nom inate a civil rights plank which specifically sets forth that the Democratic party will utilize all its resources to implement the Supreme Court’s decisions de claring segregation unconstitu tional. It was further agreed that the performance and voting records of Democrats in the present Con gress on pending vital civil rights bills, including the Powell amend ment, would be evidence of the party’s good faith.
