Smart Bank Robbers Refuse To Steal Savings Bonds I This mute evltlonre of a rerent bank rohhery would lie just like hundreds of others except for one thing the robbers were smart enough to know that I'nited States Savings Itonds are worthless to anyone but the registered owner.

Left scattered on the floor are a number of Savings Hoods, a Ion with other oilicial documents. The boivln are clearly Idenliliable til the Inset, which is an enlargement of the floor area In the lower left corner of the picture.

Sorghum Applications Due July 10 LINCOLN Applications for certification of both hybrid and variety sorghums are due in the office of the Nebraska Crop Inv provement Association here on July 10. This reminder came today from Dean Lancaster, associa tion manager, who urged sor ghum seed growers to ensure that their fields are properly isolated before applying for cert ification. Combine grain sorghums must be isolated 40 rods from other grain sorghum; 60 rods from forage sorghums; and 80 rods from sudan grass. In addition to proper Isolation, Lancaster continued, all certi fied fields must be thoroughly checked to eliminate off-type plants. Fields should be check ed the first time just as the plants are entering the heading stage, the association official said. Off-type can be identified and eliminated in this stage, pre venting cross-pollinations with undesirable types. Applications tor other crops are due on the following dates: July 10 second crop alfalfa seed, Red clover. Aug. 1 warm-season grass es; Sudan-grass; soybeans; 3rd crop alfalfa seed; millet. Apllication blanks for certific ation may be obtained from all county extension offices or from the Nebraska Crop Improve ment Association, College of Ag riculture, Lincoln.

Glenn Cunningham Some of the oldtimers here in Congress were talking the other day about the "good old days" when sessions were much shorter. They feared those days were gone forever. buring the middle 1930's, the average session of Congress was nearly two months short er than it has been in recent years. Washington's summer heat and humidity had' a lot to do with the earlier adjourn ments then, but the summers are just as bad now. The troub le now is that the Federal Gov ernment has its nose into too many things ,and it takes long er to dispose of just the approp riation bills, let alone all the other laws being passed in more and more fields. Just another example of how Federal Government has grown in the past two decades. I have been appointed by the House Speaker, Sam Rayburn, as a "conferee" to represent the Hou e in a conference com mittee in the Panama Canal Zone, as set out in a treaty be tween Panama and the United States. Both the Senate and House have passed legislation on this subject, but there are some diff erences between the bills. The conference committee will work out those differences. I am verv pleased to hove this opportunity, since Congressman with more seniority are usually appointed by the Speaker to such conferences. Mrs. F. C. Shoemaker of Ne hawka, brother of Mrs. Henry Thiele, is in St. Mary's Hospital at Nebraska City. He is reported a little belter but will be hospi talized lor some weeks.

Mr. and Mrs. James Perry of Red Cloud are here visiting their daughter and family, Mr. and Mrs. Raymon McSliane for a Youth Hostelers Dollar-a-Day Tourists STUTTGART This has been the biggest year ever for Eur ope's dollar-a-day tourists -the Youth Hostelers. Upwards of five million for eign youths toured Germany in the Youth Hostel Way. ' This group is composed of young men and women from many lands. Thier hotel is a youth hostel. If you drive up to one of these places in a car, you haven't a chance in a million of getting a room. But if you are a hitch-hiker, bicyclist, or arrive on a motor cycle or scooter, it is "open ses ame." All are members of the Youth Hostel Federation, a world-wide organization which maintains these hostels for youth who tra vel for sightseeing or for study, j They are clean, attractive str uctures, carefully maintained, where a visitor can get sleeping accomodations for 12 or 25 cents a night, depending upon his age The big youth hostel in Stutt gart, Germany, for example is a large structure, located atop a hill in the heart of the city Designed to accomodate 358 guests, the hostel can take care of about 400, provided some use sleeping bags, which are avail able. This year 63.000 young men and women visited this one hos tel, coming from Italy, Austria, Holland, France, Belgium, U. S., Switzerland, Egypt, Yugoslavia, Denmark, Iran, Australia, Brit ain and more than a dozen oth er countries. The hostel, built by Stuttgart at a cost of $300,000, contains 44 bedrooms, each having from 8 to 22 beds, built Pullman style. Of the total visitors. 20 per cent came from countries other than Germany. When the average visitor ar rives, he parks his bike or scoot er in the rear and registers. He or she is allowed to spend only two days at any hostel ex cept in unusual circumstances. A lunch or dinner costs between 35 and 40 cents. The kitchen is exceptionally clean, and service fast. A 40-cent luncheon might include a bowl of soup for 6 cents, a main course like gou lash for 30 cents and a quart bottle of soda non for 6 cents. The Stuttgart Youth Hostel contains a large dining room, kitchen, library and a variety of musical instruments which any visitor can play is available. There is a kitchen where the Ticklers MARY, IT SE EM5 A IK YOU PlAYEF the fc "CELLC.'ABENTT you G0IMGT0 KEEP UF WITH Y0UFn MUSIC !l) r ' I 1 i Air. and Mrs. (jeorue hucrsole from Milwaukee are here visit ing their parents, Mr. and Mrs. Ralph Sullivan and Mr. and Mrs. George Ebersole. The younger Eber.sole attends engineering school in Milwaukee. Mr. and 'Mrs. Theodore Ptak were hosts Sunday evening to a going-away party for their son, Denny, and Dick Kalasek. In- vited friends enjoyed a fried i chicken supper. Ed Egenberger employed with Western Electric in North Da kola has been enjoying a vaca tion with his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Edward Egenberger, friends and relatives. Ed is in Kansas City today visiting. Miss Lillian White has return ed to her apartment here after spending 10 weeks in Omaha with her sister, Georgia White. Her sister was hospitalized but is now home and reported in better health. Attorney Francis M. Casey departed this morning for Wash ington, D. C, to look after some legal matters in that area. He expects to be i:i that section of the country the next 30 days. Europe's visitors may prepare their own food. Most of those who arrive by scooter are Italians, but there are many from overseas who, when they reach Europe, start hitchhiking. At least 25 per cent of the vis itors are from East Germany, a well - behaved lot. who, ac cording to officials of the hos tels, never discuss politics. Udo Hillen and Rolf Keller, both from Dortmund. Germany, were at the Stuttgart hostel re cently. Both are 18. They had visited Holland and were then touring Germany. They kept themselves to a 5 mark daily budget ($1.20). Udo made a 1,250-mile trip once that took 20 days. It cost him $18. Kamal Mohammed All, an E pyptian, is spending a month in Europe and has already visited Switzerland, Italy and Greece. The idea of youth hostels is 50 years old. Richard Schir mann, 83, who lives in Graeven wiesbach (Taunus) is the father of youth hostels. At 33, while a teacher, he put bundles of straw on the floor of Nette School in Altena, a town of Sauerland. It was the first hostel and attracted students from many places. The idea spread. Thus, with in Schirmann's lifetime, the youth hostel became a German federation and then grew into an international one. More than 12 million persons lodged in youth hostels last year. The figure this year is ex pected to reach 14 million. BOY TWANGS Toledo Eleven-year-old Ar thur Harris recently developed not a boyish lisp, but a twang! A coil spring, three-quarters of an inch long, was caught in his mouth. The spring was from one of his toys, and had become stuck to his tongue and jaw while he was playing. Arthur managed to keep his secret from his parents for a little while, by maintaining what was prob ably (for him i an unnatural sil ence. However, he could not evade talking to his teacher. When, with a little difficulty and a lot of pain, Arthur man aged to let his teacher know his predicament, arrange m en ts were made for removal of the offending object at a hospital, and Arthur returned to school, this time talking normally.

A new styling concept called "hand-span" design was announ ced by the Hot point Company, who introduced two new series of television receivers; the "Flair" group and the "Decor ator" group. Three of its new 17 inch "flair" table models have cab inet depths of just 7 inches, while two of the new 21 inch table models have cabinet dep ths of just eight inches. E'ven the company's new "low boy" 21 inch console television receivers have been cut in cab inet depth to only 10 inches. According to Hotpoint market ing and design experts, cabinet depths have been reduced in the past two years by as much as 73 per cent. It's all a part of the "trend of new designs" they say. "We are getting closer to, the picture on the wall concept with our 1059 models" says Don John ston, marketing manager of tele vision for Hotpoint. "It's what the consumer wants and is look ing for; a dramatic new slim TV set." The company market survey studies show that most TV sets end up as an item of additional decoration in a room. Consequen tly the "decorator" style TV set is more appealing to the con sumer. The 1959 line offers 14 new table and console models and 4 restyled portable television re ceivers. Deluxe models have such fea tures as automatic picture fo cus, remote control, high fi delity range sound chambers and power tuning. At least some of the new 1959 models will be on display at the Ray's Sales and Service Grand Opening. They will not be for sale however. Nebraska Retail Sales Set Record Retail sales are setting new records in Nebraska.

The July issue of Business in Nebraska, prepared by the Uni versity's department of business research, reported that construc tion activity also shows a 16 per cent increase over a year ago. However, manufacturing tra ployment was down 2.3 per cent, compared with a drop in the United States of 10 per cent. Farm eouinment dealers in May reported a 31.3 per cent increase, followed by variety stores, with a 13.2 per cent climb. The smaller cities are faring better than the larger ones, ac cording to the bulletin's unad justed city indexes, which in cluded bank debts, building act ivity, retail sales, electricty and gas consumed, water pumped, postal receipts, and newspaper advertising. Decreases were reported only by Omaha, down 1.3: Grand Is land, 2.2 and Hastings, 3.5.
