EDITORIALS Furse s Fresh Flashes "TUESDAY IS YOUR DAY Every two years residents of this com munity have an opportunity to express their opinion in approving or disapproving the way their affairs of city and school dis trict have been handled. Tomorrow, Tuesday, April 6, is your day. Polls here in Plattsmouth in the five voting precincts will open at 8 :00 a. m. and remain open until 8 :00 p. m., which should give ample time for every man and woman to mark a ballot. To be eligible to vote you must be 21 years of age, resided in the state 60 days, lived in the county 40 days, and been a resident of the precinct' in which you vote format least 10 days. Numerous issues have been raised in the present city campaign and some heated arguments have resulted. Some are con troversial in nature, others have no foun dation for fact, and to be fair, there have been some grounds for criticism. But, as we have pointed out before, we're all resi dents of Plattsmouth and interested in the welfare and progress of our city. We know of no other city in this area that has a brighter future, has made more progress in the past six or eight years, or will be faced with more serious problems in the next two to four years. Vote for what you think is for the best interests of Plattsmouth. Vote your own convictions. If in doubt, investigate. But what ever you do make plans right now to go to the polls and VOTE. it - it it INVESTIGATING THE INVESTIGATORS The current squabble in Congress over the investigation of Senator Joseph Mc Carthy's investigating committee is reach ing circus proportions. Whereas the Wis consin Senator thinks it proper to sit as a member of the committee investigating his committee, other senators have voiced contrary opinions. McCarthy also suggested, some time ago, that lie detectors be used on all wit nesses appearing before the committee, in cluding himself. Then there was the ef fort to get the President of the American Bar Association to be the major investi gator, but ABA President William J. Jame son after a serious consideration of the request declined. He pointed out that regardless of his efforts, and the thoroughness of the in vestigation, there would be a number of people in the United States who would dis agree with the decision and said it-was not likely to conclude speculation, argument and further sensational bickering. There is much to what the ABA presi dent says. The committee McCarthy's investigating, sub-committee has become such a controversial issue in the country that it would be almost impossible for an investigator, or another investigating com mittee, to reach a conclusion which would be shared by anything like a unanimous majority of the people. And since the committee investigating the sub-committee is composed of both Democrats and Republicans, there is the highly-likely possibility that the commit tee itself will be split on the decision. The regrettable thing is that the time of Con gress and the attention of the people must be focused on this circus performance when there are other pressing matters at hand. it it it klEW MINERAL FOUND The United States Geological Survey announced recently that a new mineral has been found in northeastern Arizona.

William Benton, Con necticut Democrat, who drew up a twelve-point' indictment ac cusing McCarthy of unethical and dishonest conduct. McCar thy never answered the charges but he bombarded the senate elections committee investigat ing him with .fiery epithets. He charged that the commit tee was engaged in an effort to "discredit and destroy any many w7ho fights Communist subver sion," suggested that "several United States senators have known Communists on their staffs," and set his own staff loose on the trail of one of tne investigating senators. McCar thy also challenged Benton to repeat his charges without sena torial immunity, which Benton did. McCarthy sued, bi;t recent ly dropped his libel suit. Reluctant Senators With this past history in mind, no senator was anxious to take on the army-McCarthy probe. The White House originally sent word to Republican leaders tijat the senate armed services com mittee should investigate the army-McCarthy wrangle. But this was the last thing Sen. Lev erett Saltonstall of Massachu setts, chairman of the commit tee, wanted. He is up against a heavy Boston Irish vote in his re-election campaign this year, and he remembered how Sena Smith & Lebens, Attorneys, Plattsmouth, Nebraska NOTICE OF HEARING Estate of Maggie Wolpert, de ceased.
