When th crashed through such Berlin environs as Nauen and ite of the traniimltters, that gagged the short wave voice.

School Consolidation i Ueiendea in riearingri I MADISON. May 4.

(UP) I School Consolidations ordered by the State Department of Public In structlon In the last two years were defended yesterday at a senate education committee hearing Assistant Public Instruction Su-psrintendent V. E. Kimball said the department had made only about a dozen errors in the 1.060 districts it had consolidated. However, Kimball supported a bill to appoint committees in each county to review consolidation orders. Stven assemblymen from rural areas appeared before the committee to demand senate passage of the bill.

They said it would give "the jjeople back hems something to say about their schools." and would prevent unwise consolidations. The assembly bill called for three-man committees, appointed by county Judges, to pass upon the Public Instruction department's consolidation orders. However, the County Superintendents association suggested that the committees be increased to five members to give a more impartial review. Stamp of Iwo Jima Flag-Raising Made WASHINGTON. May 4.

(AP) A three-cent stamp featuring Associated Press Photographer Joe Rosenthal's famous Iwo Jima flag raising picture will be issued soon. First suggested by Senator Ma-honey (D-Wyo), the post office department is now preparing such stamp. No date has been set for its release. Rep. Woodruff (R-Mlch) added his endorsement of the stamp today.

"Such a stamp." said Woodruff In a letter to the post-office department, "would be a proper tribute not only to the men who actually took gart in the immortal flag-raising, ut also to the branches of the service they represent." Calling the picture one that has "gripped the heart-strings of every liberty-loving citizen." the congressman said lt will take rank with the scenes at Bunker Hill, Valley Forge and Gettysburg.

Panqu'ts Get-Togethers Here No Meal Served Fridays No Will Be r.rJ oa Mondays Assembly Passes Lobby Curb Bill MADISON. May 4. AP) The assembly passed by unanimous vote today a measure that would require lobbyist to file reports of dally expenses and their lobbying activities after rejecting an amendment that would have required Itemizing the expenditures to reveal if any legislator benefited bjr them. Aasemblymaji Bcggs 'Prog-Madlson) oifered the amendment and led a fight for its adoption, declaring that lt would determine "if the legislators were sincere in their desire to pass legislation to curb lobbying as requested ty Governor Goodland.

He won one roll call on the question when the house refused by 37 to 37 vote to kill the amendment but on the vote for adoption he lost 35 to 42. Repunblican Floor Leader Thomson of Richland Center, led the fight against the amendment, declaring that it was a move by Progressive forces to put the bill in a position so that it could not become law and then would give the Progressive party an issue to use in its next campaign. In his argument for the amendment, Beggs cnarged that members of the assembly were "willing to puss a loLby bill to regulate lobbyists but are not willing to regulate themselves." This lobbying question." he said, "has been kicking around here since January when the governor Drought it up. The Republican majority succeeded in burying the bill the governor wanted and now comes forward with a bill that is meaningless." Thomson said that the bill had the support of Governor Goodland and was the most stringent offered in any legislature of the country. "What the Progressives are trying to do," he said, "is maneuver this bill so it can not become law and they then can have' an issue that can breathe life blood into their dying organization.
