Le Vander, state chairman of the Re publican central commitee and campaign manager of Harold Stassen, as he spoke before the Stassen-for-President Club at the Y.M.C.A. building Tuesday night. Discussing the program and possibilities of the Republican party and Harold Stassen in 1948, Mr. LeVander epitomized his re marks with the words of a popu lar song "Accentuate the positive, eliminate the negative, latch on to the affirmative, don't mess with Mr. In-Between." In other words, the youthful campaign manager explained, the Republican party must present a positive program, eliminate their negative approach to crucial prob lems, bring about a definite af firmative program, and avoid the wishy-washy politics of the Mr. In-Between. Stassen Qualified. The speaker discussed the Quali fications of Stassen which would enable him to carry through suc cessfully such a Republican pro gram. He declared, "Stassen has always stood for a clearly de fined program." "Stassen's work in Minnesota," g he explained further," proves that this presidential candidate is a man of action." He pointed out that Stassen has always stood for "constructive opposition." Possibilities In 1948.

H ' 1 9 Seed Crop varieties averaged more than 50 per cent oil content, also above the national average. (3) The Nebraska varieties test high enough in protein content to make sesame meal equal to cot tonseed as a livestock feeding supplement. Chief problem' fn the breeding program, Dr. Staker said, is de velopment of a sesame variety with non-shattering pods. This may be achieved "within a few years," he said. It will permit harvesting sesame with combines. Sesame must now be cut with binders. The crop matures in a shock and then is combined for the seed. Brings 12-13 Cents. Sesame is a row crop which currently brings a price of 12 to 13 cents a-pound. The chemurgy department has seed available for only experimental work in 1948. Sesame is not grown commercially in Nebraska at present. The oil seed crop is used for flavoring baked goods and con fections, for salad and cooking oils, for use in making lard sub stitutes, and as a "carrier" for penicillin and other medicinal products. The stalk of the plant can be made into paper. Notice to Veterans No books or supplies for the current semester will be issued to veterans at government ex pense after Saturday,. April 10.
