Thieves Butcher Calves At William Ruthless cattle butchers slaugh- f prpl th roo ctoorc of f V a Wlllioni Galloway farm, near Cullom, rec- ently and also stole two small calves, it was learned here this week.

" Peterson Decrys Sorrell Stand On State Roads VaJ Peterson, Republican gub ernatorial candidate fired the opening gun as his party's cara van started on its second "week of tour Monday. And, Peterson aimed the gun at his Democratic opponent, Frank Sorrell. Speaking at ""Tiering, Peterson charged Sorrell with being a "new dealer." "Not only does my op ponent belong to the New Deal Party," he said, "but he is full of fanciful and costly schemes just like the starry eyed boys in Wash ington." Peterson articularly took issue with Sorrels proposal concerning farm to market roads. Petersen charged Sorrell with "trying to play on the emotions of the voters without regard for the reality of the situation. "The one and only thing stand ing in the way of expanding and improving Nebraska's road sys tem, is the New Deal's financial irresponsibility which has pro duced inflation and provoked scarcities" Peterson said. For his part, Sorrell questioned Peterson's standn forign policy. Noting that the American Legion Executive Committee at San Fran cisco had declared in favor of backing he strong foreign policy of Secretary of State Jame:; F. Byrnes at Paris, Sorrell asked Peterson to state his position. "Val Peterson boasts of his membership in the Legion," Sor rell said. "I ask fcis h. is follow ing the Legion in this matter, or fs he backing Senator Butler and the Republican congressmen who are advocating appeasement of Russia." The . Democratic party's agri cultural advisory commritee met at Grand Island and adapted res olutions endorsing President Tru man's and Secretary of Agricul ture Anderson's s'-and in main taining controls on meat. Three Steers, Steal Galloway Farm they may have been frintened V . . u j completed butcliering the third steer. The two small calves also di sappeared at about the same time and it is assumed that the same persons who killed the larger an imals also stole the calves. Since the calves were smaller they could have been easily loaded into a truck. Mr. Galloway reported that the thieves left no clues. It is thought that the "meat i bandits" ma,y have been part of a ring of slaughterers who have raided other farms in eastern Neb raska since the outset of the nation-wide meat shortage. McMurtey Faces Check Charge S. D. McMurtey, of Hamburg, la., was arraigned Tuesday after noon on a charge of issuing a no fund check in Plattsm uth. week in Sidney, la., and was re turned to Plattsmouth Tuesday by Sheriff Joe Mrasek.
