EDITORIALS An American Custom It has long been recognized that Americans are a youthful people, full of vim and vigor, and uninhibited, relatively, when compared with, say, Europeans. This is still true, today, for the United States and its people are still a young nation. One of the traits of youth is to know all the answers. We Americans, especial ly the GI abroad in World War I, World War II and the Korean War, certainly knew all the answers. We may not have been good diplomats, as a result, but we knew the answers and we let the other countries of the world, and their inhabit ants, know that the American way of life was best. The conduct of Americans abroad is an important factor in our foreign rela tions. Attention has been given to it in the military and by the State Department. The idea is now to teach Americans not to ri dicule everything "foreign" and not to always be loud-talking big-Ikes when a mong Europeans or Asians. This situation has a parallel in our everyday life in the United States. We are often too eager to critcize the fellow in an other section of the country because we don't understand the problem he faces. There is a lesson to be learned in all this. The lesson is simple. Here it is: There is a majority of good people in every sec tion of the country, who try to do what is right. No soction, state or county has a monopoly on virtue, brains or intelligence. It would be well for us to always re nrsmber that we do not have the facility for understanding everyone's problems, and certainly we cannot expect to solve problems about which we know little, or on which we are only half-informed.

ASVAVWAVAVWiV.v.v1ViV.v....y.v.v. Capitol News By Melvi.i Paul SUtehouse Correspondent Jilt! Nebraska Press Association LINCOLN The Legislature cut this week's work short for an Easter vacation and will re convene Tuesday. March 31. The break is traditional for the lawmakers and allows them to catch up on rest and the sent iment of the home folks before returning for the final 3 months of the session. Backed up on general file is a flock of legislation, awaiting initial debate. ' Committee work was light his week, also because of the va cation. Three afternoons were devoid of public hearings. Tuesday, the senators made an inspection trip at Beatrice, and Thursday and Good Friday are part of the vacation. Well past 100 bills are await ing first debate. Many still have not been set for public hearing. Tempo of the session is ex pected to pick up considerably after the Easter recess. Law makers will be refreshed, at least as far as handling legis lation goes, and the end of the session will be in sinht. which psychologically will cause great er activity. Work hits the fever pitch as the summer sun begins to beat down on the legislative cham ber, which, like the entire state house, is not air conditioned. More than 100 bills have felt the axe from either committee or floor action. Well over 160 bills have been passed and some of them are law. Total bills introduced Is near the 700 mark. Rouehly. the law makers have about 300 to pro cess during the final three mon ths. Budget Committee The Legislature's budget com mittee is one of the forces push ing action of the lawmakers. Sen. Otto Llebers of Lincoln, committee chairman, presents periodic reports to the entire body urging earliest considera tion of proposals that affect state, spending. These must be disDOsed of be fore the budget committee can come ud with its recommend ations on finances for the 1959 61 period. Liebers told the lawmakers that at the first of this week there were 91 bills Involving ap propriations in one form or an other that had not been dispos ed of by the solons. This is delaying work of the budget committee, Liebers said, noting that the committee still will visit institutions and has much calculating and Henry Donat was center for the Blues while Armstrong served for Tarkio. The Tarkio lineup included Donald Cotner, Joe Case, '35; Stuart Porter, '33; Kenneth Armstrong, '84 ; Wayne Falk, '37. The five played the entire game. The Blues com prised, Henrv Donat, '32; Robert Rummel, '33; "Dusty" Rhodes, '31; Ronald Rebal, Robert Hayes, John Jacobs of the 1938-39 team.

Guests were Patty and Helen Lewis, Phyllis Hoffman, Dale Eled ge, Marjorie and Clifford Kennell, Doris and Patty Wood, Kenneth Henry, Joan and Evelyn Henry and Betty Henry This was the 26th anniversary of the great tornado that swept over the east part of Nebraska, leaving a loss of millions in its wake in Omaha where several were killed. The storm swept south of the city , a branch of the storm that struck Omaha, the tornado coming from the vicinity of Avoca, just skirting Nehawka and north west of Union.. The storm struck the George W. Shrader farm south of Flatts mouth, causing the death of Mrs. Shrader who was caught by the force of the storm in the yard of the farm home. Q( YEARS ACO JV The county oratorical and declama tory contest was held at Weeping Water.

A .'! Lieber urged that all spend ing bills be, disposed of by Ap ril 20 or the budget committee will be hard-pressed to get the budget bill into final form in time for the start of the fiscal year July 1. Traditionally, and because of the work involved, the budget bill is the last to be passed in a session. Once this is done, the axe comes out and all remain ing legislation is killed. Pass age of the budget bill signals a motion for the Legislature to adjourn for two years. Spending bills still on the board, if all were passed, could add some $18 million to the state's two-year budget which for the current period totaled a bout $338 million. . . Way Resigns J. Cecil Way, state account ant In the State Auditor's office has resigned to enter private business. Way has been with the office for the past 14 years. He will be succeeded April 10 by P. Merle Humphries, a 12-year em ploye under State Auditor Ray C. Johnson. Way said he had received an offer to take charge of fiscal procedures for a Lincoln con struction firm and although he regretted leaving state employ ment he could not turn down the proposal. State Spending The state government has sp ent $221 million in the current biennium, which ends June 30. According to the monthly re port of the State Tax Commis sioner, government spending in February was $9.3 million, slight ly under the $9.7 total for Jan uary. Bank Bill A bill introduced involving state money on deposit in banks drew considerable controversy on the floor of the Legislature. Gov. Ralph G. Brooks propos ed the legislation which would set up a three per cent interest rate on the average daily bal ance of state funds on deposit in Nebraska banks. The state now receives no in terest on money it has pliced in banks throughout the srate. Sen. J. O. Peck of Columbus, a banker, said his bank has no state funds in it and never did but he thinks the three per cent interest to be required of banks under the Brooks bill is too high. Sen. Terry Carpenter of Scotts bluff echoed that remark. Car penter went further and launch ed an attack on Democratic State Treasurer Richard Lar sen. After that. Carpenter with drew his bill which would have taken off the $6,500 per year ceiling on the salary of the de puty state treasurer, a Repub- 782,594 Cwt. Of Sorghum Sealed in Co. Information of interest to farmers in Cass County was re leased today by Cass ASC Coun ty Committee chairman, Ivan G. Althouse. He informed producers that as of this date 782,594 cwt. of 1958 grain sorghum had been placed under seal, while 31,654 cwt. of grain sorghum is protected by purchase agreement. A total of 1,368,555 bushels of 1958 corn is presently under price support with an additional 30,900 bushels protected by pur chase agreement. A total of 635,460 bushels of 1958 wheat was sealed during the availability period ending Jan. 31, 1959, with an additional 4,700 bushels of wheat protected by purchase agreement. " Producers are reminded that care must be exercised in the care of grain placed under price support and stored on the farm, to prevent loss of quality which will eventually result in loss of capital to the producer. In the case of corn, care of the grain can result in a sub stantial profit to the farmer by delivery of No. 1 or No. 2 corn carrying less than 2 foreign material and less than 13.5 per cent moisture which can result in premiums over and above the loan rate. Wool and Lambs Producers interested In ob taining incentive payments on unshorn lambs or wool sold be tween April 1, 1958, and March 31, 1959, are reminded that April 30, 1959 is the final date for submitting applications to their local ASC County Offices. lican appointed by Larsen. Of Larsen, Carpenter said the new treasurer should "spend more time being treasurer in stead of running around the cap. itol and the state." Carpenter charged that Lar sen had said he would take some $5 million in idle state funds and invest it in securities, but has failed to do this. The Scottsbluff Senator said he understood Deputy Treasur er Frank Ullstrom was pushing for investment of the surplus funds in securities, but this has not been made. Carpenter commented he with drew the pay bill because of th "advice" Ullstrom apparently was giving the new treasurer.
