He had been ill a ear.

Morton was born in Omaha, the son of J. Sterling Morton, territorial governnor of Nebraska, first secretary of agriculture, and founder of Arbor day. His mother, Mrs. Caroline Joy Morton, was the only white woman present at the signing of the Indian treaty paving the way to Nebraska's statehood.

Giving the Red Version of the first year of the Korean conflict, the editorial bitterly reiterated the familiar Red charges that the United States started the war, rejected frequent peace overtures, threatened to invade Manchuria, and withheld Formosa from the "just" possession of the Chinese Reds.

As far back as last Aug. 20, it said, Peiping Premier Chou En- lai repeatedly had made sugges tions for peace in Korea, but "the unscrupulous U. S. government repeatedly refused to accept them" and instead "continued to extend the aggressive war in Korea." The broadcast neglected to mention that these peace proposals called for what amounted to total cattle and sheep from England 'or his Du Page farms.

These unacceptable terms were significantly omitted from the cease-fire suggestion made on the U.

S. radio June 23 by Jacob Malik, Soviet delegate to the UN. The Peiping account, however, did not mention Malik's omission. Instead, It simply said, "on June 23, Soviet delegate to the United Nations Mailk again put forward proposals for the peaceful settlement of the Korean question. "The Chinese people fully en dorse his proposal.

This is another test for America, see whether she accepts the lessons of the past and whether she is willing to settle the Korean question peacefully." Then, several thousands words down in the rambling review, the editorial stated: "It is obvious that at present it is beyond America's strength to expand the war as she wants to do." Chinese Reds Show Fight Tokyo (AP) Chinese Reds fought fiercely for every inch of Korean ground Tuesday and even gouged out some gains while the Peiping radio guardedly endorsed a Russian proposal for a cease- fire.

The Arkansas, fed by the worst Pawnee overflow in history, still rising Monday night at Great Bend despite an earlier report from tha Wichita weather bureau that the stream had crested early Monday. At 8:30 pm the reading at Great Bend's South Main gauge was 10.65 feet.

They were successful but it was touch and go for a while.

The Monday morning forecast that the Arkansas would crest here by early Tuesday which was issued by the Wichita office definitely was erroneous and it appeared the big load will not reach here until Wednesday afternoon, since it is a 36-hour flow from Great Bend.

The horses sank belly and shoulder deep.

Both men worked their way forward, keeping the horses moving. They finally reached firm footing but only after horses and were near exhaustion. Schmidt commented the old quicksand rule of lying flat and wiggling forward is no good when the water over the sand is a foot deep. He observed he and Keith were sure they could make it but were afraid they would lose horses and "Next I'll pay at tention when the heifers miff at the sand.and get bullheaded," the rider declared.
