The $10,000,000 palace of stone and marble is now the crowded European headquarters of the United Nations. It is more crowded than during the Leagu's palmiest days. Earlier this year harassed UN officials even considered adding a "skyscraper" to the building to house overflow age ncies. They withdrew their plan after the Swiss objected that the 12 - story tower planned would be a regrettable "Amer ican" innovation which would ruin their landscape. Some 1,250 people work in the palace today, compared to about 400 in normal League per iods. During big conferences, their advisers increase the num ber to 2,500. More than 1,000 meetings took jjlace here in the first eight months of 1949, which compares favorably with the number held at Lake Suc cess during a similar period. Outwardly Unchanged Pre-war tourists who remem ber the stately League building, set in a park overlooking the lake would find it outwardly un changed. The same golden sphere of the Zodiac, a gift of the Woodrow Wilson Foundation, stands on the lawn beneath huge cedars of Lebanon. The same peacocks or their descendants roam the vast lawns and flowerbeds Buses filled with sightseers still drive up hourly. Inside the building the visitor is struck by the predominance of the American accent. The United States never joined the League. Today, Americans out number the other naitonalities in Geneva. The European headquarters of the UN and several specialized agencies fill the palace to over flowing. The International Ref ugee Organization, the World Health Organization, the Econ omic Commission for Europe and the United National Relief for Palestine Refugees have headquarters here. UNESCO Meets The UN Economic and Social Council, one of the major bod ies of the UN, has held its sum mer session in Geneva twice and will do so again next year. The palace's assembly hall, which seats 2,000 people, used to house the famous League as sembly. Today it is the scene of ILO's annual conferences. WHO meets here every other year. A world conference drew up three conventions on ' freedom of information here last year. The UN Palestine Commission wrote and signed its famous re port recommending partition in Geneva in 1947. Nearly 1,000 delegates repre senting 23 of the world's largest trading nations carried out the greatest tariff negotiations in history at a six months confer ence here in 1947. The most glamorous room in the palace, the former League Council Chamber, with murals by the Spanish painter, Jose Maria Sert, is closed most of the time. This seems to old-times here symbolic of a certain loss of glamour by Geneva in the post-war days. Ralph Buchanan To Pennsylvania R. Y. Buchanan, associated with the Raymond Concrete Pile Company of New York City, has been assigned to the Pitts burgh area for the completiticn of two foundation piling pro jects in that city. He left by au to Sunday morning, expecting to arrive there sometime Mon day or Tuesday of this week. Ralph has been vacationing the past few weeks at the home of his wife's parents, Mr. and Mrs. Don Seiver. Mrs. Buchanan is remaining with her parents for the present. -Mr. and Mrs. John Nelson, Jr. of Lincoln, were here Sunday to visit at the home of Mr. and Mrs. William Nelson and with the new niece that has just re cently arrived at the Nelson home. O NEB SKA i h IAMCS C OLSON, Superintendent TATE H1ITOBICAL IOCIITT Albinus Nance, 'Nebraska's fifth governor, was only 30 years old when elected, the youngest man ever to be chosen as the state's chief executive al- WA Group Visits County Attorney ov.uxi.j- ix.uxney vj.i.er .miLn, assisted by his partner, Har old Lebens, had a field day Wednesday when they took Boys and Girls County students through their offices reviewing procedures practiced by county prosecutors. This group had a wealth of knewledge to carry back to their respective schools. The group included: Ellen Crawford, Louisville; Kenneth Streich, Murdock; Norma Elliott, Alvo; Esther Jenkins, Greenwood; James Hall, Elm wood; Betty Simonds. Nehawka; Charles James, Union; Richard Norris, Avoca; Keith Bodaway, Eagle; Dick Tincher, Plattsmouth. Journal Staff Photo. though Keith Neville, Nebraska's World War I governor, was only 32 when first elected; and Thomas B. Cuming and J. Ster ling Morton, acting governors of the territory, were mere boys of 26 when first appointed. Governor Nance was born at La Fayette, 111., March 30. 1848. He enlisted in the 9th Illinois Cavalry when only 16 years of age and fought with the reeri ment in numerous Civil War battles. After the war, lie be gan the study of law at Knox College in Galesburg, 111., and though he left before securing his degree, he was admitted to the bar of Illinois in 1870, at the age of 22. Shortly thereafter, the young man responded to the call of the West, removing to Nebraska, where in 1871 he took a home stead in Polk County. For a while he tried combining the law and agriculture, but his leeal work prospered to such a degree that he decided to give it his full time, moving to Osceola where he opened an office. Indicative of th? rapidity with , which young Nan?? established himself in his new home was his election to the state house of representatives in 1874, despite the fact that he had. been in the state only three years an 1 was only 26 years old. He wa.s re elected in 1876 and was chosen speaker of the house of repre sentatives. Also during 1876 ho served as chairman of the Ne braska delegation to the Repub- lican national convention in Cincinnati. The next honor to be heaped upon the young man's head was his nomination for the gover norship by the Republican party in 1878. He defeated W. H. Web ster, the Democratic nominee, by better than a two to cne ma jority. He was re-nominated by acclamation in 1830, defcatini former Senator Thomas W. Tip ton in the general election. Governor Nance's administra tion was relatively tranquil. The state was beginning to shake off the effects of the bitter depres sion which had threatened to stunt its growth in the middle Seventies, and was moving into one of its greatest periods of prosperity and growth. The Gov ernor contributed to stability by a conservative and economical administration of the state's af fairs. At the expiration cf his sec- rirA form Cri cx-tt rv qttd ctill t not 35 years old, "retired" to hi? law practice at Osceola. A few years later he removed to Lin coln, and then to Chicago where he engaged in handling railroad stocks and bonds. He died Dec. 7, 1911.
