Commenting on the success of the petition-initiated proposal to abolish parallel parking in most of the congested downtown area, the mayor remarked, "Unscrambling parallel parking will be quite a headaqhe but will be tackled in. the near future.

"Nevertheless, there must have been a lot of good come out of thacampaign because, as never beifite, the citizens were made acquainted with our needs. Furthermore, large groups of people took an affirm ative interest in the problems of their city." Schroder, Lincoln real estate dealer, and author of the proposal, said he was "disappointed, of course, but not discouraged. I've been slapped down before but not lost faith in the voters.

(UP). The cast and the west clashed Wednesday over the recent trials of churchmen behind the iron curtain. Australia and Bolivia proposed that the United 'Nations general assembly investigate the trials of Joseph Cardinal -other churchmen ia Hungary and the trial of 13 Protestant leaders in Bulgaria. Mindszenty was sentenced to life imprisonment after being con victed of treason. The Bulgarian protestant leaders received varying prison sentences.

POLAND. A RUSSIAN fought the proposed investi- gation. Polish Delegate Juliusz Katz-Suchy told the U.N. steering committee that the organization has no right tQ interfere in the internal affairs of Hungary and Bulgaria. of the problem would be a grave violation ot the United Nations charter," he.

said. 1 The United States delegation suggested that the separate Australian. and Bflliyian, proposals-be lumped together to consider, alleged peace treaty violations by Bulgaria and Hungary. American Delegate Warren Austin suggested that the steer ing committee propose consider ation of acts of the two nations with "respect to "freedoms and human rights, including ques tions of religious and civil liberties with special reference to recent trials of church leaders." KATZ-SL'CIIY broadened his attack on Australia and Bolivia -to include-Austin's proposal. "The United Nations has no jurisdiction over implementation of the peace treaties and even as the United States has proposed it cannot be legally placed on the assembly agenda," he said.

The rolish argument followed the general lines of a protect fent by Hungary to Assembly President Herbert V. Evatt Tuesday. The protest said Mindszenty was tried lor crimes such as treason, black marketing, and attempts to overthrow lh. republic" of --Hungary -because of his church position ot religious functions. THE AUSTRALIAN and Bolivian proposals are certain to draw support of the United States and Britain "in the 14-nation committee.

But both -powers would have preferred to first bring peajre treaty ma-, chinery into play against the two satellite nations. Washington and London only five days ago protested.to Hungary and Bulgaria against the church trials and other actions as alleged treaty violations. Other items for inclusion on the assembly agenda to be taken up Wednesday cover proposals by Australia and India to consider the long-standing dispute, and applications, of Israel and Ceylon for U.N. membership. While tho issues are expected to make the agenda, only Israel's case is assured of positive action by the assembly.

Move Alive To Salvage Pay Bills s-y tit 1 LOllillSlOIl MarkS: Stormy Session BY BURT JAMES Capitol Reporter The Journal ewftpapera. Motions to raise all 21 of the salary increase bills killed last week by the miscellaneous appropriation committee were pending when the legislature adjourned Wednesday. It took considerable jockeying by senators favoring the bills to accomplish the feat. There was nothing but confusion following adjournment. THE SENATORS who made the motions to place the bills on general file were" not sure whether they had won or lost.

were in order and because they were in his hands, before adjournment it would require only 22 votes to override the action of the committee. Had the motions not been accepted and put over until Thursday, 29 votes to raise each of the bills would be required. Debate on the bills will come Thursday as the legislature adjourned instead of taking a recess. SEN. JOHN MKNIGHT set the stage by offering a motion to raise the bill increasing the salary of the attorney general from $5,000 to $7,500.

But before any -action could be taken, Sen. Don Hanna offered a motion to recess until 3 p. in order to give him time to present aimilar motion on other salary bills. Sen. William Metzger sug gested the members be at ease to give Hanna time to prepare and offer his motion: A Jew months later a motionjtojdjflmjiwas4 made and Sen, Ed Hoyt," presid ing, declared motion lost.

AN APPEAL from Hoyt 's ruling was made by Sen. O. H. Person but Hoyt was sustained. Then followed another motion to adjourn but Metzger blocked it by making a substitute motion to recess.

Sen. William Hern submitted a motion to include all bills that have been postponed indefinitely thus far this session. There are about 180 in this list. Sen. Charles Tvrdik then came up with the list of all bills killed, and asked they be Included and offered a motion to that effect.

Then came a motion to adjourn and it carried by a vote of 19 to 11. EARLIER, BY a vote of 11 to 18, the senate rejected a motion by Sen. John Adams, to revive the municipal judges salary bill. It would raise the salaries of the Lincoln and Omaha judges from I to $7,500. i The bills killed by the committee by a 4 to 3, vote, were introduced by 20 senators.

Thus, by getting two more votes, they can revive all of them. THE SALARY increases called for in the bills amount to $51,000 a year and range from a low of $300 to a high of $2,500 for each of the constitutional officers. They affect all the code department heads, deputies of constitutional officers and members of the workmen's compensation courts board of control, liquor commission, secretary of the board lot vocational -education and the library commission. Senator. Hanna, introducer of the bill to boost the salary of the secretary of state, said he docs-not favor hiking salaries of constitutional officers to $7,500 but- would be willing to stop at $6,000.

Tarnov Man Loses Liquor License 21 Days The state liquor commission Wednesday suspended one license and set two 'revocation cases for hearing Thursday, The liquor-by-thc- drink license of Joe F. Zabawa, Tarnov, was suspended from April 9 to May 1, after the commission determined Zabawa was guilty of sale to minors. Also charged with sale to minors were Gotlieb F. Issler, Grafton, who holds a package liquor license, and Henry F. Schecl, Grand Island, holder of a package liquor and on-sale beer license.

THE LINCOLN junior chamber of commerce is trying to do something about the lack of funds. They want to raise $3,000 Sp. Commission bees Hope For, Building I am: Vole Dampens Only Vorhies Two of Lancaster county's three commissioners Wednesday said they thought Tuesday's turndown of the city charter amendment was not a clue to voters' attitude toward a three-million dollar city county building, should that proposal appear on the ballot later this vear.

They indicated belief that the increased taxes angle was not the major -factor in the charter amendment defeat. The third commissioner said he didn't think any proposal could be put across by eity-or county if it involved higher- taxes: CHAIRMAN-Russell Brehm, who said Wednesday it's a "sure thing" the new building proposal will be presented to voters at a special county election in October or November, declared Tuesday's election results had strengthened his belief the building should be put up by the county alone and quarters -leased iu me ciij. If it were put on both city and county ballots, he said, "the chances are it would win on th.L county ballot and be defeated on the city ballot." COMMISSIONER Chris Kuh- ner declared "Lots ot don't like the present form of city government and won't trust more money to it." "I really think," he said, 'Ithat themajority of people in the county realizehere is duplication with two buildings and that the county needs more room." "If the county puts up the building," he added, "Lincoln people will put pressure on. the city to use it." Brehm estimated from 60 to 75 percent of taxpayers in the county visit the courthouse at least once a year, know the needs and "can safely be left to make the decision on a new building." Ira Vorhies, dissenting county board member said he is willing to try it on the voters next fall but that he is doubtful of suc cess. He said he didn't believe such a proposition, can be put across until the legislature provides a sales tax or state income tax to take some of the load off real estate.

The committee of in my -opinion, should get In a huddle and study some plan which the electors may accept. I feel that removal of the dollar limitation from the charter and retention' of the 7 mill limi-. tation, based ong'i owing "City and -increased overall valuations, approval.

It would be a right step." "THE CITIZENS will now fully understand why many things cannot be done for the beautification of the city and the comfort of its titizens," the-mayor said, "I am perfectly willing to carry on, if elected in May, and do everything possible under the existing limitations. I shaUT continue the effort to secure a better transportation system and do everything possible with the money available for the betterment of our streets." CUMPLEtEurwwlficialje-turns from the primary election showed the charter change proposal carried on the ballots as "Proposition was, beaten 19 votes. The- talrjnvas 8,584 votes against the change, 7,065 for it. The anti-parallel parking forces tallied 8,201 votes while those upholding the parallel parking system had only 7,459. Thus, the margin was 742 votes.

The new ordinance abolishes parallel parking except along Tenth street and between 14th "and 16th On This ordinance was "proposition No. 1" on Tuesday's ballot. DEFEAT of the charter change plunged city-hall circles into gloom. Most officials there had looked on the proposal a means to put the municipality on the path of needed repairs, improvements and new equipment. In view of an apparent1 lack of organized opposition, the council and citizens committee of 85 held hope for approval of the proposition.

It would have allowed for the next fiscal year, an operating increase in city in come of $280,000, and, effective with the fiscal year starting Sept. 1, 1950, and automatic maximum annual increase of $25,000 to take care of normal growth of Lincoln population and resultant City activities. The present char ter provision allows an increase of $15,000 annually. The proposal also sought to correct a situation of long standing by permitting the council to choose the larger of two charter limitations, mill and dollar, instead of the smaller as how required, il SOMETHING LIKE $70,000 of the requested increase had been earmarked for streets. With limited finances, the street -department is only able now to give attention to the worst holes.

In addition to street repair, the Council had in mind repair to city needed equipment for the fire and police departments, storm and sanitary sewer maintenance and repair, parks and library service improvements. The plan presented had been proposed and approved" by the 85-mombcr citizens committee. Slate Issues $7 Million In Warrants in March The state issued $7,130,000 In Walelinuiker Board Bill Killed 23 6 Picketing Plan Laid Over Legislation creating a state board of examiners in watchmaking was killed Wednesday by the legislature without debate. The motion was made by Sen. William Hern and carried by a vote of 23 to 6.

He insisted there be no debate on the proposal which would have prevented anyone from practicing watchmaking without a license. The mass picketing bill, L.B. 415, was again laid over at the' request of Willard Wilson, who Wednesday offered amendments to bring employers under restrictions similar to those that SPniy. JP str er.V SEN. LESTER A'nderson offered a motion to kill L.B.

240 but withdrew it at the request of Sen. Charles Tvrdik. The bill provides that tips received by an employe shall be included" as wages dtnchecome a part of the basis for determining workmen's compensation benefits. --'Anderson contended an employer should not Jjc required to pay insurance on something over which he has no control. Tvrdik explained that hotel and restaurant owners will hodl a conference soon with members of the workmen's compensation court to work out some agreement on the bill, and for that reason asked that it be laid over.

SEN. VICTOR ANDERSON was successful in raising L.B. 283 to-general file. It was killed recently by the banking committee. It would exempt domes tic insurance companies from coming under the auditing rates of the Nebraska Inspection bu reau and.

would provide the examination of their rates by the state Insurance department. The vote to raise the bill was 31 to 5. To eliminate "one blackmail feature" of the motor vehicle financial responsibility law Sen Willard Wilson ottered an amendment to L.B." 493. It broadens hie title of the finan rial responsibility law passed by the 1945 legislature. Wilson's amendment would' provide that when an insurance company admits liability on an accident in which one of Its insured is the other party who Is not covered by insurance shall not be required to deposit money to cover the amount of estiamterl damages.

WILSON SAID there have been instances where one party, Involved in an accident, has dc- fmahded money in return for signing a release so the other party may have his drivers' license restored by the state. During discussion of the bill, Sen. John Callan asked the legislature to give consideration to the problem of finding some source of revenue to support the administration of the motor vehicle financial responsibility division. Ho said the division spends about $20,000 a year and all of this conies from drivers' license fees. SEN.

JOHN McKnlght backed Callan, pointing out that it Is not fair to take the money -from the safety partol. "When a person pays a fee for his license he thinks that, the money is going to buy safety and hot pay the expenses of some auxiliary agency or division," McKnight said. "If this money, was not diverted it would permit the patrol 'to put on six additional men who are badly needed."

The prices run from $1.20 i for general admission scats- to $4.80 for the best scats. "We're not kidding anybody," said Leo Hill, the Joycees' youth activities director, "the show it- self won't be worth $4.80.

But it'll be well worth $1.20." Anything over that you can put down to the account of Billy Stevens. "HE Ol LD HAVE put the bite on the men up and down Of street," Hill said, "and probably got a big share of the money we need. But this isn't just for the kids of the men along street. It's for everybody's kids." Hill said the ticket prices were reached by taking $6,000 as a goal and scaling the tickets to produce that amount. The Cooper Foundation is donating the theater lor two nights and the Lincoln Musicians association Local 463 is contributing the services of musicians.

None of the talent will, be paid. The Jnycees' plan Is to divide the city jj into 12 districts with teams of two classes representing each- district. Class would be made up of 13 and 14 year oMs, and would be youngsters, 11 and 12.

WITHOUT HELP from the junior chamber," the city recreation department this summer will bo able to support only about half dozen teams, uniforms, City Recreation Director James Iwis said.

So, whether Hilly Stevens plays baseball this summer under trained supervision, depends pretty much on you. i -iy-" warrants during March, State Auditor Ray Johnson reported Wednesday.
