Along the Big Muddy which forms 1he eastern boundary of our state, people are not always sure where they are at.

A citizen may retire at night, serene in the knowledge that he is a Nebraskan and entitled to all the benefits thereunto apertaining. He wakes up in the morning and finds himself in Missouri or Iowa. Illustrative of the instability of living on the moody stream is an editorial in the Falls City Journal, in the county of Richardson which is in the southeast corner of the stele: "The county is foreclosing the taxes on Hie Salem ice house. If you should have need for an ice house, by any chance, stop and investigate before making a note to attend the foreclosure sale. The ice house isn't there, nor probably is the land upon which it stood before it burned down many years ago.

"The county also is foreclosing on a non-existent tract of a'bout 200 acres or more, which one time did exist as an island in the Missouri river but long since washed into the Big Muddy and the location now is in the state of Missouri." The Journal hastens to explain that not all of the tracts and city lots being foreclosed are nonexistent. Property whi'ch the county sells for unpaid taxes is usually not worth the amount of the taxes. There is still much rich land in the county, property the owners of which arc proud to pay taxes on and retain possession of. The Navy Taking Draftees St. Louis Post-Dispatch: Navy is so of men that for the first time since World War it is going to use the draft instead of relying entirely on volunteers.

It will begin using a monthly, quota of 10,000 men in November. The Army, which has been drafting 10,000 men monthly, began using the draft early in the Korean War. The Navy is particularly hard hit now because of four-year enlistments of the Korean War days are expiring. So is the AJr Force but it is going to continue to attempt to rely on volunteers. The Marines have depended on volunteers since June, 1952.

All the services are particularly distressed over the high percentages of non-commissioned officers who 'are leaving instead of re-enlisting. Many of these mep, who form the backbone of their services, have acquired skills that will yield much better returns in civilian life 'than in service. And no small numbers of the draftees are earning as much in civilian life as they will be paid in the services. Employment is good right now and the pleasures of civilian life shine'brightly in contrast to the drabness and rigidity of military life. As for patriotism, it takes something close to the Korean Wai- days to call it forth.

It may well be that the Amiy and the Navy are not getting sufficient volunteers because they do not have the glamor that goes with the Air Force and the Marines. And as the first line of defense is not weapons but the men required to wield the weapons, the Army and Navy will probably have to continue relying on the draft to provide the steady flow of manpower that is needed. being made wholesale and you will afflicted with hundreds of 'em before you rebel and demand piy-as-you-go television.

President Eisenhower had been stricken with A miM thrombosis, according to the official statement. Washington officialdom issued calming statements that the government would continue as usual, Everything was done to prevent undue pessimistic excitement. People the country over were taking me news calmly. But the stock market empted into a wild rampage. The bears, had long and impatiently waited for their inning.

They wanted a stock slump and got it. The President's illness was not the cause of One market, crash; it was used to create a panic by those who ought to know better. The shrink in market values is estimated at $1.3.2 bilJion. Tuesday's recovery is estimated at $3.2 billion. 'Hie stock exchanges, supposed to serve as a financial barometsr, didn't, perform that function.

Five years ago when you mentioned television to a Hollywood movie producer he saw red, grabbed an axe and chased you down the street. Today half the studios on the West Coast are making movies solely for television. Some already shown, including a 90-mlnute show presented a week ago with Helen Hayes and Mary Martin are pretty bad from the standpoint of art, but they are knew how to work the problem, and my eighth grade schooling terminated years before of you teen-agers were born. Attorney General Brownell hurried home from Europe when he got news of the President's illness. He conferred with two of his associates on the subject of the chief executive's authority to delegate his powers and duties, and said apparently it would not be necessary for him to give an opinion because the "news from Denver" was so encouraging.

I. freely give my opinion: The constitution provides lhat in case of the president's "inability to discharge the powers and duties of said offic.3, the same shall devolve on the Vice President."

One day, the man in the composing room decided to test the foreman.

Sneaking some of Greo- ley's stationary out of his office, they spread the sheets on the composing room floor. On these sheets, they placed two fighting cocks, whose feet they had inked. A battle royal ensued. In a few minutes, the sheets were covered with ink. marks.

The men gathered the papers together. On the lead page, in Greeley's handwriting, they wrote the caption "The Plain Duty of They then submitted the sheets to the foreman. The latter scanned the pages for a moment, went. 1o work wthout hesitation. He put page after page into type.

Finally on the last page he got stuck. He turned the paper sideways and upside down, but couldn't make any sense out of it. Giving up, he took the paper into Greeley's office. "I can't make this out. Mr.

Groeley," he apologized. "What is this word down here?" He pointed to an ink spot at the bottom of the page, Greeley took a quick look at it.

EVERVTHISJ 1 OUT OF TH 1 Cie-ARET BUT IT MUST TAKE EVEfcYTHIMe. OUT OF ill Washington Politicians Concealed Status of Both FDR's, Ike's Health DREW PEARSON WASHINGTON President Eisenhower's heart attack, coming simultaneously with publication of Harry Truman's memoirs, points to two vital facts in the lives of our Presidents: 1. Politicians don't want the public to know the truth about any President's health. 2. Medical checks should be given every presidential candidate' in advance, and more specialized medical care should be given a President after he takes office.

It has long been'known to intimates of the President and to newspapermen covering the White House that he had high blood pressure, just as it was known during the election campaign of 1944 to intimates of Franklin Roosevelt that the wear and tear of public office had made terrific inroads on his health. But the politicians of both'politi- cal parties have hushed up the real facts. Eisenhower himself is the only man who has been frank about it. He has consistently and repeatedly told the politicians who, wanted him to run again that they could not depend on one man. He has talked about the health erosion of public office.

He has reminded them that if re-elected he would be the only President to reach the age of 70 while in office. He has come about as close as possible to telling that all was not well with him aside-from making a blueprint. -RADIO- KWBE, 1450 kc. Wednesday Evening 6.iO—Sporu Room Tnen.

King 1952 that seemed to be flat and unequivocal, that he would serve one term only. And in various private conversations he has never deviated from this general plan. But, despite this, the politicians have refused to take his word, have issued misleading statements about the President's health. First Warning Approximately one year ago at stag dinner attended by Vice President Nixon, Attorney General Brownell, Chairman Len Hall, and other close political advisers, Ike first made it quite clear that they should Begin building up new GOP leaders. The only promise they could wheedle out of him at that time was that he wouldn't announce his decision until the spring of 1956, Nevertheless, Nixon and Chairman Hall both left that dinner to make repeated statements that the President was certain to run again even though Jie had indicated directly to the contrary.

No later than three weeks ago in Denver, Hall told newsmen how the GOP planned to defeat. Sen. Wayne Morse of Oregon because he "had criticized Ike." "Suppose Ike doesn't run?" a newsman asked. "Then I commit suicide," replied the chairman of the Republican National Committee who had previously heard from Ike's own lip? that the Republican party should begin building other candidates. On another occasion, the President not only told Sen, George Bender and other Ohio Republicans about the health erosion of the presidency but he specifically ordered his- press secretary to have his statement to Bender made known the press.

Senator Bender, like Chairman Hall, did not want 1o drop these discouraging words to the press. So, as he left the White House, he made no comment about Ike's remarks on health. Whereupon he was put. on the spot by the White House press secretary who asked him to repeat what, the President had said. FDK'a Concealed This finds a semi-parallel in the Truman memoirs published last week in which he how, early in 1945, it was considered doubtful that Franklin Roosevelt could last much longer.

Yet in the summer of 1944 when Roosevelt was nominated while absent on a cruise to Alaska to regain his health, Democratic Chairman Bob.Hannegan knew, as Hall knew about Ike, that FDR's health was not at all good, lie also knew that it was a fraud on the American people to put his name on the ballot. The real facts about Eisenhower's health have been known to intimates for some time and published before his nomination by a few people. John Gunther. in an extremely friendly book, inspired in part to boost Ike for the nomination, touched briefly on his high blood pressure. Kay Summersby, in her book, "Eisenhower Was My Boss," tells how he had high blood pressure even during the war.

While the President's health, considering his age, has been reasonably good, his ruddy complexion is deceptive and he is not able to remain in the White House or at his desk for average periods of That is the reason for his golf, his week ends at Gettysburg, his trips to Augusta, and his occasional health problems which have been hushed up by those around him. One of them, just before he was to leave Paris to begin his open and public bid for the Republican nomination, illustrates the importance of having specialists on hand to watch the President's health. This particular incident almost upset the nomination. Ike was taken sick about 10 days before Gen. Matthew Ridgway was scheduled to relieve him as Commander of SHAPE in Paris.

The French government asked if it could stage a farewell ceremony. Finally an all-day session of Ike's closest advisers met to decide what should be done.

It was attended by Gen. Al Gruenther, Gen. Anthony Drexel Biddle, Col. Pete Carroll, and Arthur Vandenberg. son of the late senator from Michigan.

During the meeting young Vandenberg flatly demanded that Eisenhower show up at a press conference. Otherwise, threatened Vandenberg, he would cable Sen. Henry Cabot Lodge to have the General's name withdrawn from nomination. In the end, a French specialist was called in. He diagnosed Eisenhower's condition as an overdose of antiobiotics.

Within 48 hours he was much better, though terribly weak so weak that his aides didn't know until just before General Ridgway arrived whether they could dress him for the occasion. In the end, Ike got to the airport to see Ridgway, though wearing dark glasses. His car was driven into the privacy of a hangar immediately afterward to let Dee rest. These are some of the things that have long been concealed from the public, just as the true state of Roosevelt's health was concealed during the fateful campaign of 1944.
