The Outside World By WILLIE DESCH Staff Writer Amendments Suggested LINCOLN After the Sixty-Sixth Extraordinary Session of the Nebraska Legislature was officially opened by Lt. Gov. Charles Warner, Gov. Robert Crosby laid out a program of six constitu tional amendments which he said are necessary so thatthe Legis lature will be free to pass laws to improve he state tax system. There were indications that the senators intend to fight any proposal to place the sales tax question on the ballot next November. Sen. Dwight Burney of Hartington said that levying new taxes is the function of the Legislature and therefore it should not be passed on to the electors. However the Legislative Council Committee on Taxation has proposed a constitutional amendment which if passed by the voters would force the Legislature to pass a sales tax at its next session. On the other hand sales tax advacates fear this proposal, because they say that if it is defeated, any hope of taxes other than property taxes would be impossible forever.

U.S. Information Agency Described By Sorensen 6 Media Carry Out American Aims The United States Information Agency furnishes information to the nations of the world on a people-to-people level, not a government-to-government level. Thomas C. Sorensen, information officer at the American Embassy in Beirut, Lebanon, said Tuesday. This propagation of ideas sub mits evidence to other peoples that the policies of the United States will advance their interests and attempts to counter hostile Russian broadcasting of Commu nism, depressions ana war.

THE WASHINGTON Press Serv ice, the center of the press and publishing operations of the USIA sends information to field posts in 77 countries and these field posts in turn distribute information to 75 million people. Telling of this phase of his work in Lebanon, Sorensen said the newspapers there were similar to those of the US at the end of the last century. The USIA publishes bulletins in Lebanon six days a week in four languages: English, French, Arabic and Armenian. They con tain public events showing US of ficials, photographs and feature matter translated from Washing ton. THE BROADCASTING medium used by the USIA directs 70 per cent of its broadcasting efforts toward Communist-dom i n a t e d countries. Sorensen said the USIA projects motion pictures in 22 languages, primarily in countries where illiteracy is high and radio usage is low. Information centers consisting of halls for lectures, exhibits, and cultural programs and libraries throughout the world containing 200,000,000 tvxiks is anohter me dium used by the USIA, Sorensen said.
