The principal characters, Janet Miller and Ernest Shippen as Mary, ann and Robert, did an outstanding job of singing and acting. Shar.

These two incidentally provided the fine comedy interest In last summer's "Rose Marie." Very outstanding also was the personable and talented Imogene Davis as Julie: Don Carlson a Philippe: and John William Wagner as Capt. George Duval. Mr. Wagner has a fine dramatic sense to put over songs and words.

The scenery was simple, easy to handle and very effective. Costuming was very colorful. Shining up the acts was a very fine pit orchestra. In general the music and words alternated between humor, and gay, witty romance keeping the show at a lively pace. ine snow is luucu jut grs and especially for families.

The Lincoln Singfest was -Record-Breaker- Houso Unitr Votes 12 Billions In New Taxes WASHINGTON The House public Works Committee voted 22- Friday for a biggest-in-history road-building program over the next 12 years, and recommended 12 billion dollars in new taxes to help pay for it. Approved for House action was a bill calling for 484 billion dollars worth of construction for pub lic roads, including about 35l billions to be put up by the federal government.

Most of this would go to complete 40,000 miles of superhighways across the nation. Higher Gas Tax The federal gasoline tax would be upped a penny a gallon for tie next 15 years from 2 to 3 cents and levies on several other automotive items would be increased. Hep. Fallon (D-Md), acting committee chairman, reported the measure will be redrafted over the weekend for technical purposes and brought before the House group for a final vote Monday. Democratic Leader McCormack (Mass) has listed the bill for early action by the House, probably by next week.

Senate Passes Owa Bill The Senate has already passed a multi-billion-dollar highway construction measure of its own, which doesn't include a method for financing. President Eisenhower's program for highway expansion called for financing through long-term borrowings but this was turned down in both the Senate and i- the House committee. Committee informants said to day's 22-6 vote included Democrats among the dissenters, but they did not say how many. IMtrhftS0jt Tat ITikpa In a day-long session, the committee gave its final approval to these tax increases, which would wine tiv I the bill: Gasoline, from 2 to 3 cents a gallon; diesel fuel, from 2 to 5 cents a gallon; truck tires larger than 8V by 18, 5 to 15 cents a rmnd; inner tubes for these tires, to 13 cents a pound; truck tires, from 7i to 8 by 18, 5 to 8 cents a pound; camelback, a rubber compound used in making retread tire, a net tax of 15 cents a pound. In addition, the excise tax on trucks, buses and trailers would be boosted from 8 to 10 per cent.

The increased taxes were first approved on a vote of 22-9. Then the bill as a whole, including the taxes and the plans for road building, was okayed 22 6. Turncoats Claim They've Learned A 'Bitter Lesson' KOBE, Japan (Saturday) (INS) Three homecoming American turncoats said they- learned a "bitter lesson" in Red China before they started a "five and a half-month battle to free ourselves." The dishonorably discharged GI's described their steerage quarters in an ocean liner as "paradise," In comparison with the life they had led in Communist China for rearly four years. The trio Lewie W. Griggs of Jacksonville, William A.

Cow-art, Monticello, and Otho G. Bell, Olympia. Wash. arrived at Kobe aboard the American liner President Cleveland. They were confined to the ship while all other passengers went ashore for sightseeing during the Cleveland 13-hour stay at the port in suthern Japan.

Plain Friday, Official figures showed 17 per sons were killed ana 6a wounaea in a day and night of riot action and a bombing by nationalist ter- orists which triggered the tempers enraged Frenchmen.

Order was finally restored with nforcement of a 9 p.m. to 5 a.m. curfew in the terror-ridden city, which for months has been kept tenwTby independence-seeking tuh tionalists. The rioting was confined to the European quarter where 250,000 Europeans, mostly French, work and live in this business capital of the French protectorate. Tear Gas In the early stages Europeans were the only participants as they vented their anger toward the new resident general, Gilbert Grand-val, and other Frenchmen who have shown moderation and sympathy toward nationalist aims.

A crowd of 5,000 do 10,000 marched upon the regional administrative offices demanding Grand- val's resignation, and was only dispersed after police had fired 10 to 15 tear gas bombs The mob retaliated by stoning the offices and police. The crowd looted Moroccan shops and set some of them afire. It overturned Moroccan buses and burned them. Late in the day groups of several hundred Moroccans poured out of the native quarter and clashed with bands of Europeans. More than 100 shots were heard from both sides.

Machine Gun But police kept most of the gathering thousands of Moroccans from invading the European sec tion. In their brief rampage the Moroccans in turn looted European shops and broke windows in cars. In the melee two Moroccans were killed by pistol and machine gun bullets and another was beat en to death in the heart ol the city. Earlier, as the European mobs marched with flags and loud shouts, two Moroccans were reported lynched, another killed and a policeman killed. One policeman, seven Moroccans and six Europeans were injured as the European mobs surged through the city.

Court Disbars Central Xitian Edward F. Feehan, Central City attorney, has been disbarred by the State Supreme Court. The action resulted from his handling of the estate of his law partner, the late Edward J. Patterson of Central City, The request for disciplinary action was made by the Nebraska State Bar Association committee on inquiry for the Sixth Judicial District. The court based its order on the report of a court-appointed referee which recommended disciplinary action.

The Court opinion said the report "discloses a flagrant abuse" of professional ethics by Feehan and that he "completely lacks professional honesty and integrity." The opinion noted that County Cour t-appointed administrators were successful In obtaining restitution of $9,400 from Feehan. However, the opinion said, "a restitution of funds wrongfully converted by a lawyer, after he is faced with legal accountability, is not an ex oneration of his professional misconduct." Suspect Jackson Returned, Booked Charles W. Jackson, 28, of 514 So. 12th, burglary suspect in ttft attempted break-in of the Moose Lodge June 7, was booked in police headquarters on an open charge here Friday night.

The order was Issued May 20.

Northern Natural and 12 others had asked a rehearing. OF FAR EAST MEN HINTED QUANTICO. Va. Wl The Unit ed States may pull still more fight ing men out of the Far East. The hint of another cutback In military strength along the eastern perimeter of the Communist domain came Friday from Gen.

Maxwell D. Taylor, new Army chief of staff and until recently the supreme allied commander in the Far East. Taylor, in a talk ttolhe- 170 civil ian leaders, generals and admirals here for the annual Defense Secretaries' conference, discussed the impace of "future planned reduc tion in forces" in Japan and Korea. A brief summary of what Taylor talked about was issued after the closed-door meeting. Ground Forces seemed reason to believe that any new reduction in Far East strength would be in ground forces, possibly the withdrawal of one or more divisions.

At peak strength during the Ko rean War, the United States had about eight Army and one Marine division in the area. The manpower of those divisions, together with those of air and naval forces and other Army non-combat units, totaled more than half a million men.

The other two means of redistrict ing are for the county committee to draw a plan for submission to the voters and to the state committee or for 25 per cent of voters in an area to petition the state committee for approval or disap proval of its plan. Only 2 Cases Decker said tnat only two re districting plans have been car ried out by the 25 per cent peti tion method.

The court held that the section of law, which states that "any plan of reorganization must be submit ted to the state committee. and be approved by it before a hear ing is had" is applicable only to this 25 per cent method. Decker said tnat all plans rejected by the state committee as unsound probably will now be carried out. "As a result," he said, "in many ases the interests of the children of the district will be of minor concern." He expressed concern over the effect of the ruling saying that "all the way through our redistricting program there has been the feeling that there needs to be somebody to channel redistricting into a sound and sensible plan. Now Only 'Advisory Decker said that the ruling leaves the State Committee virtually with power to act only in an advisory capacity for the majority of re districting programs.

He predicted that the ruling would "set school redistricting in Nebraska back several years." The original court action arose from a situation where voters of three districts near Trenton had petitioned to reorganize as one district. The plan was not approved by the state committee and the county superintendent did not call for a hearing. The Supreme Court based its opinion on its Interpretation of Leg islative intent in passing the statutes and amendments. Hitchcock Districts 42, 15 and 26 were the districts seeking to merge and appealing the District Court ruling against them. Hitchcock County Superintendent Ida Marshall was named defendant in the suit.
