Although he had two opportunities to get to Washington the easy way the first when the Butler machine urged him to run for Congress to replace Karl Stefan he chose the hard way, challenging Sen.

During the hysteria of World War Fritz One of the important function of a governor, which shouldnot be overlooked by the voters in nominating and electing or promoting one, is the appointive power, and particularly the power to fill a United States Senate vacancy If one should occur. In exercising this power, a governor can assert a direct and important influence on the course of United States and world history. The way he exercises it tells a lot about his character and It is a better test than the words of a political campaign. The splendid record of Sen.

Dean Pohlenz, our tie Important political reporter, and I quizzed in detail the two leading Republican contenders for the governorship, Victor Anderson and Bob Crosby, and recorded their answers verbatim.

"It is to the cause of true art, and to the marshalling of its forces as the sublime God- inspired pacifier and to the priesthood of artists all over the world as the human bridge to understanding between nations that the major part of my earnings has been and shall be devoted as long as I shall be permitted to exercise my profession." Fritz Kreisler. Fritz Kreisler's Voting Record HEBRON Sen. Butler's friends who are supporting him for re-lection are not saying much for themselves or the judgment of Sen. Butler.

On 25 per cent of the important bills Butler did not vote at all. He did vote to turn the tideland oil reserve- over to the states of CaliforniaJTexas and Louisiana. He voted with the southern Democrats- to defeat admitting Alaska and Hawaii as states. He voted against placing the Revenue Department employes under Civil Service as was recommended by the Hoover Committee. In my opinion any school boy can represent Nebraska better than Sen.

Yet Allied musicians were technically his enemies! Despite his emphasis upon the "priesthood of artists," however, his charities are all-embracing, never limited to profession, class, race or religion. Love and Faith FOR ALMOST 48 YEARS Fritz and Harriet Kreisler have known a truly happy marriage in spite of vicissitudes of wars, spotlight and fame, and its attendant lack of privacy. Once Mrs. Kreisler's love and faith were put to a severe test a few weeks after the outbreak of World War Her husband, serving as a lieutenant in the Austrian Army at the Russian front, was reported dead, killed in action. Harriet Kreisler would not believe it.

To everyone's consternation, she refused to accept the report or to act accordingly. "I have prayed and I know he is not dead," she said. And people regarded her announcement with pity and disbelief in the face of the What really happened was told me by Fritz Kreisler in these words: "The report of my death originated through a mistake of the surgeon. Next to me in the hospital was lying a man who was dying. After the surgeon had looked at him, an officer in the hospital said, 'Did you know that was Kreisler, the "The -surgeon he referred to my neighbor, and when he unfortunately died, re-, ported my death." When, shortly-after his arrival at the hospital, Harriet received a wire from her husband correcting the erroneous telegram, she dropped to her knees and gave thanks.

Both Krelslers are deeply religious. "No nan can accomplish great things unless he has a heart full of love." Kreisler states this often, and he and his wife live these words. Friends and well-wishers who attended the celebration a few months ago of Kreisler's 75th birthday noted that he was deeply engrossed in -a conversation with Msgr. Fulton Sheen. I asked him what it was all about He replied: "We were discussing the paramount duty to-, day of all believers in God to join in a common fight against atheistic Communism.

I believe that in this struggle all who worship the and acknowledge His existence and omnipotence, must stand together. The world's crisis today is between good and evil, between God and anti-God. It is as simple and as important as that." NEXT: Did you ever hear of a big corporation spending money in advertising which urged people to pray?

Vollmer. aa tald ha Altn Dim speech before the Mississippi Legislaturewas his remark about governmental spending abroad.

He said, "Despite the billions we have poured abroad, I doubt that we have gained a single Communist convert to the cause of human freedom or inspired new or deeper friendships." He also said, "Let charity begin at home." This remark strikes at the conscience of the American people. For we well know that there are underprivileged and distressed citizens that need help. Take, for instance, the aged people that are trying to eke out a living on an inadequate old age assistance allowance: Why not use these billions at home? Yes, Gen. Mac-Arthur is right charity begins at home. artist normally abounds.

The work, self-discipline and concentration which are required to develop his talent, he feels, gives a man the right to full support When in July 1945 it was my painful mission as War Correspondent entering Berlin with the first American occupation troops to relay by mail that his exquisite home was a ghastly heap of rubble, not a word of complaint or self-pity came from his lips. Instead, he expressed only his joy that his employees on the place were unhurt, so I'm told. His celebrated library waa sold at auction in January 1949, every cent of the $120,372.50 proceeds going to the Golden Rule Foundation and Lenox Hill Hospital of New York. Most of his violins were sold for charity in 1948, including the celebrated 235-year-old "Earl of Plymouth" Stradivarius. "I think, Louis," he once said to me, "I never was so care-free as when I had to worry about the next month's rent I worried in a wholesome sort of way until I could come home with a contract in my pocket and be able to tell my wife that our next month's housing problem was settled!" haven't won Furthermore feel that our foreign program has not been too beneficial although we now have supported it for several years, but we don't seem to be any further in advance than we are today, Would you approve of Senator Taft's foreign policy as outlined In his book? Well, I haven't read the book but I am not fully familiar- with all of Taft's-foreign policy.

As I understand his, position it is just what he feels that the foreign policy has some worthiness. It is just what degree you go to and I was more or less of the same feeling, I would say that my foreign policy was along the line of Taft's. I want to know why you were singl-Jng out Buffett's foreifn policy in particular? Well it was more conservative than Taft's policy. That is the thing that I had in mind. Taft's policy, as I see it, is more as to the degree we should help them.

Horace--Holmes, one- southern county agent, found the Indian peasants bogged down by the same problems that face American farmers: lack of good seed, limitation of credit, poor land, diseases, insects, drouth and pests. Wisely he didn't tackle the situation with machinery, started by showing the farmers how to use their primitive tools better. He made a double project of compost heaps and use of waste, indirectly bringing sanitation where it had never even been thought of.

Howard, who received but a few weeks before his death this highest non-academic award in the gift of the University of Nebraska.

His devotion to the state and his contributions to public life were epitomized in his nine years of service as state director of agriculture. He had served In the unicameral four terms, the last as speaker. He was proposed for the governorship in 1946, but' declared ineligible because of his office as agricultural director. Mr. Howard was an early leader in the movement for better highways in western Nebraska.

Deeply interested in water and other resources, he was a member of the state's co-ordinating committee for Missouri basin development, and for many years was a leader in the Nebraska Stockgrowers association. His was a valuable life, characterized by steady, quiet advancement and a reputation for sincerity and constructive thinking. Ge.nn Government LINCOLN I am for Sen.

Vote for a winner. Eisen would be in the neighborhood of $12 a What's going on behind the scenes is not an effort to scale down the amount the unions got out of the pro-union wage stabilization board but to find a way to camouflage a price increase of as much increase of $8 a ton. How close to $8 a ton can the Office of Price Stabilization grant? The ball is in the hands of such officials as Ellis Arnall and Roger Putnam.

There is a way it can be done provided the President is willing to allow the so-called Eric Johnston formula to be modified. That formula calculated price increases on a base that took into account 83 per cent of the level of profits in certain year. But since the formula was written, the new excess-profits taxes have taken a deeper bite into earnings than was visualised before, and there is Justification for a re-examination of the formula. The only question at issue is whether such a revision should take place now or after public opinion has been conditioned for it, which might be after there is an actual call of a steel strike, a court injunction and then, if the situation goes to extremes, the seizure of the steel companies while the government tries to mediate the dispute.

Are you in sympathy with Rep. Buffett's foreign policy? I have not made any special study of Rep.

Wilson said after he saw the President at Key West was misinterpreted as meaning that he was going to move to reduce the amounts granted by the wage stabilization board. Likewise, it' explains why the chairman of the board said "hell, no," when asked whether he was engaging in conferences to modify the recommendations for wage increases. The truth is that, after, a few days of collective-bargaining negotiations, the steel companies will wait to see how much of an increase in price will be allowed them by the Office of Price Stabilization, and if they are told formally what they already fear namely, that the price boost will amount only to around $2 to $2.50 a ton they will be back where they were several days ago, when it was announced that the cost of the wage boost, indirectly as well as directly, P.
