House ponders revoking tax; Johnson answers charges by John Dvorak Junior Staff Writer "President Johnson An swers Charges Against Him," glares the Mar. l newspaper headline. "House Considers Abolishing the Income Tax," ays another. These headlines, typical of newspapers today, are from the Omaha Daily Herald, March 1, 1868. That was Nebraska's first birthday; Friday the state is 101 years old. Johnson's Impeachment President Andrew John son's controversial impeach ment was to take place soon. The Omaha Daily Herald noted that Johnson was thor oughly preparing bis defense and acting in an. optimistic fashion." Drafts were coming from congressmen of both parties, either supporting or opposing the President. In Washington, one resolu tion supporting President Johnson urged him to remove Secretary of War Stanton from office, proclaiming Stan ton as the seat of the conflict. President's innocence The Om aha newspaper, time and again, proclaimed the President innocent of any wrong doings. The House of Representa tives voted to delay the bill which would have abolished the income tax. Several Ne braska newspapers favored the action, especially consid ering that 1868 was an elec tion year. However, the bill was for gotten in the midst of Presi dent Johnson's trial. Close parallel In politics, real estate or weather, present day Nebras ka closely parallels the Ne braska of Mar. 1, 1868, the state's first birthday. Plans were being made in Nebraska for the State Demo cratic and Republican nomi nating conventions which were to be held in July. An election was to be held in Omaha on March 2. The ultimate outcome the "ra dical" Republicans won office, much to the dismay of the Omaha Daily Herald. The capital city Lincoln, the new capital city, was experiencing a build ing boom in all directions. The lfiiftiiiiitiiiiiiriiiiiiiiiiiiifiiiiiriiiitiiiriiijf it iifiiiiiftiitiifitiiifiiiiitfiiifiiJiiiiiiiiiiiiifiiiiiiiKfiiiKiitifiiiiirs Campus Review A night long riot at Alcorn A & M College in Lorman, Miss, left at least six students injured and two hospitalized this week. Police in Lorman were forced to use tear gas and gunfire to put down the riot, which began as a student dem onstration to protest the dis missal of three students. Student leaders say the stu dents were dismissed because they passed out campaign li terature for Charles Evers, a candidate for Congress from Mississippi and one of the state's top Negro leaders. The college president, however, says the students were dis missed after he accused one of them of being drunk, and they cursed him. 111111111111111111111111111111111 lllllllllllllllllllllllllNlllllllllllllllillllllfllimil muni MllllHi I World Review Washington A call-up of Army or Marine reservists would not provide an easy solution to strains placed upon the Defense Department by the war in Vietnam. The President has called to active duty about 14,700 mem bers of the Air Fore, Naval Reserves and the Air Nation al Guard. Since the dispatch of an ad ditional 10,500 soldiers and Marines to Vietnam on a rush basis, many military men are more convinced than before that a call-up of soldiers or marines will be necessary to fill the ever-widening gaps in the nation's military line. One Well-informed source said the Army would be hard pressed at present to provide even one division for an emergency outside Europe, such as in Korea. Christian Science Monitor fr ir -k Paris France announced this week that they are en tering the space race with a boost from Russia. As a Tesult of an eight- day discussion in Moscow be tween French and Russian experts, it has been decided that France will launch a satellite stop a Russian rock et in 1971. Christian Science Monitor a ft . Manchester, Mass. Rich ard M. Nixon said Thursday there would not be a "plot among the governors to stop me" and all but challenged Gov. Nelson Rockefeller of New York to enter the Re publican presidential race. In his first extensive com ment on the withdrawal of Michigan from the presiden-i tial race, Nixon said, "We have very substantial support among the governors. Rockefeller had said earlier the wishes of his fellow Re publican governors would be a major influence on his fu ture course. Romney, in with drawing, had challenged the GOP governors to forge a consensus around some other candidate. Lincoln Journal ft ft ft Atlanta The logistical status of the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.'s planned this spring in Washington is this: j Staff members of Dr. King's Southern Christian Leader ship Conference (SCLC) are now on the job in all but one of 15 areas from which they hope to recruit 3,000 core campaign participants. Some of the approximately 40 staff members are SCLC veterans; two or three were hired specifically for this program. Field staffers have begun recruiting the participants, who will be in the banguard of demonstrators protesting conditions of the poor. SCLC says it has no estimates of the number of persons re cruited thus far. The precise date of the first demonstra tion will be announced in April. Dr. King has met with local community leaders in Phila delphia, Washington, and Ala bama, in behalf of his cam paign. Within the next few weeks he and several top lieutenants plan to visit the other 12 areas, in order to encourage moral support, re cruits, and money. Christian Science Monitor j Police officers said that the rioting students were firing guns, throwing bricks and chairs, and that they set one building on fire. Dr. John Summerskill, president of San Francisco State College resigned after a blast at the state administra tion of Gov. Ronald Reagan. Summerskill said that high er education in taiiiornia is "being eroded by political in terference and financial star vation" and asked Reagan to "give higher education the constructive leadership it re quires and des- es. Summerskill said that he didn't blame Reagan for all of California's higher educa tion problems, but said that the governor is not particular ly interested in strengthening higher education. About 60 University of Colo rado law students have signed a Vietnam statement which declares that the signers are opposed to the present U.S. policies in Vietnam. The petition has been cir culated from Harvard Uni versity to about 100 Law schools in the United States. According to a spokesman at CU, only about half of the law students and professors at Harvard signed the state ment. The circulated statement says in part: "We do not be lieve that our nation has any controlling commitments which require us to continue to pursue that policy. We believe that the United States cannot by acceptable means succeed in its attempt to secure and maintain the control of the Saigon govern ment over the territory of South Vietnam by miltiary force, and that the continuing expansion of our military in volvement in the service of that end creates an unaccep table risk of world war." I Nebraska Advertiser said, "There is now a respectable number of frame houses and buildings in Lincoln City." In Omaha, rain and snow transformed the streets into giant sloughs. Planks were distributed so that the citi zens could transverse the mud wallows. One was placed on a ridge in the street, thus forming a springboard. A neatly dressed man stepped onto one end of the planks, and without his knowledge, a team and wa gon drove over the other end. The resulting action, as re ported in the Omaha Daily Herald, caused the man to be thrown over the wagon and against the First National Bank building. He was sev erely injured. Other items In other items gleaned from newspapers of 100 years ago: The formation of an institu tion of higher learning at Lin. coin was being considered. A hospital for the insane was also to be established at Lin coln. Talk of forming a newspa. per in the capital city was be gun. A daily stage line was now running between Lincoln and Nebraska City. Cure for baldness An advertisement in the Omaha newspaper proclaimed a revolutionary cure for bald ness and the luxuriant growth of new hair. And finally, an Omaha newspaper ad gave notice that a new brand of whiskey, Four Ace Whiskey, was now on the market. The ad said that the whiskey was' "hard to beat" and "available in anv quanti ty."
