It was too late for either driver to do anything then, and the cars came together, according to Kellogg. Kellogg, explaining that he had slowed down to pick up a hitchhiking family, estimated his speed at not greater than 12 miles per hour, officers said. This was verified, by Frank Beach. 40, 1026 street, who was riding with Kellogg. Larson told County Attorney Towle he was on the right side of the road all the time and was not confused.

He asserted Kellogg's machine came across the road and struck the Larson car. Albert Hollyman. 31, Quincy, who was waiting with his wife and 9-year-old son, Eugene, for a ride from Kellogg, gave a similar account of the accident.

"If we were free to assume that the national industrial recovery act is Intended merely as the com-mencent of what we may term an Inching along process toward a somewnat more desirable condition, then we might assume that the code as offered by the cotton tex tile industry Is acceptable," Mc Mahon said. "We are not free to assume that. "On the contrary. It must be ac cepted as fact that the national in dustrial recovery act is Intended to create a prosperous nation of pros perous people wno nave work from which they may earn at least a sustaining wage and from which they may derive a purchasing power sufficient to continue all American industry in full and prosperous opera tion. One of his objections to the code as it stands was it contains no limitation upon working hours for women.

He also protested exemptions of certain classes of labor from ths code. Of the proposed southern minimum wage, McMahon said "surely common sense cannot accept or condone a wage of $10 a week and It must find abhorrent a learning period at no wage." condemned the theory that southern workers should not be paid as highly as northern. McMahon contended the 40 hour week would not bring about re-employment of all those norma'ly engaged in the Industry, and that such a schedule was inconsistent with the government's public works program wherein 30 hours was fixed as a maximum. Challenges Statistics. He challenged statistics given by manufacturers yesterday to show 100.000 workers would bs re-em-ploved under the 40 hours clause.

"We contend that the adoption of a 35 hour schedule will more nearly permit the re-emDloyment of the approximately 100,000 unemployed," he said.

"County workers," she said, "are beginning to recognize the necessity for a positive health program that will seek to prevent, rather than to cure." Mrs. Clavton said as far as known no county now is giving aid for food in cash, although some use scrip. some food orders and some central ized public stores.

Les than half the counties are paying' rent for indigent families, Mrs Clayton said the rent was a dintcuit prooiem as "me county cannot Day rent for all who are un- aDie to pay it ior memseives. un the other hand people must nave an abiding place, and ir tne county pays tne grocer, the merchant, the physician and the undertaker, there is no particular reason why the landlord should not be paid occas tonally." Some unusual plans have been tried out. she said, to reduce rent costs. In Bridgeport, an apartment house remodeled from an old school building, was used to aaccommodate eight families. In another county a house sold for non-payment of the taxes, was oouunt oy tne county and used by a dependent family for whicn long time aid must be given.

Senator Thompson Says Postmasters May Retain Posts (Continued fron Pace One.) recommend three persons for that post, and I have not discussed the matter and do not know whom he may have in mind. The final appointment is to be made at Washington from among the three recommended by th governor." Thompson thinks it likely there will be something doing soon relative to naming officials for the Nebraska home loan bank, which la to be located in Grand Island, his home city.

I hav recommended Clovd Stewart for manager afid Phil Tomek for attorney of the home loan bank, and you may say I feci quite hopeful that the appointments will De maae in tne near luiure in accordance with my recommenaa he aaid.

No recommendations have been made by himself, the senator stated, for deputy Internal revenue collectors either at Grand Island or elsewhere. Until George CMalley of Greeley receives his certificate as collector for Ne braska and takes charge of the office, which will probably be soon after July 1. Thompson thinks nothing will bs done about chang ing1 the subordinate personnel. The deputy collector and mar shal at Grand Island, as well as the postmaster for that city, will be named on Thompsons rccom mendatlon, rather than Congress man Shallenberger's, as the cus torn is that a senator has the patronage for his home town.

I like my work in the senate very much and have had very fine treatment from my colleagues," ne told press interviewers. "Al though I worked night and day much of the time I did not find the job an Irksome one, but en Joyed every minute of the time. have a very efficient secretary in Mr Geil, and my office force of five persons at Washington is equal in capability to any similar group oi tne same size." senator Thompson will be in Nebraska for a couple of weeks but has made his plans no further ahead.
