Reports to Nasibu of the destruction of villages to the south by low-flying Italian bombing WASHINGTON. Tensing to its greatest effort, the works relief giant towers high over mid-October skyline. It has no rivals for attention, even in these unsettled days.

All the fury and confusion which once clustered about NRA reproduced full as the most ambitious relief enterprise in history nears its eventual test. The tension is made greater by a realization that some of the announced objectives already have disappeared, and others are threatened. Activities which may well be of greater hi.storical moment proceed elsewhere in the capital, but in far quieter precincts. The state department ponders anxiously, but calmly, the developing tangle of national rivalries abroad. The supreme court has resumed Its momentous sessions, sedate and unhurried in Its new marble palace.

Significant problems of administrative policy are debated, but the voices are swallowed up. It is the bustle and clamor of the relief drive which dominatea. Reliable information about the day to day progress of this mammoth undertaking is not available to the public. nor is it, possible to establish how fully the responsible officials themselves are informed on that subject. Information Hard to Get.

Inquiring newspapermen are referred to a publicity section which is swamped interminable lists of allotments, and has no detailed information about Individual projects. Disclosure of statistics on tbe number of men actually put to work has been suspended for the past ten days. Delegations of state and municipal officials have been shuntd from one official to another, so that some of them have gone home after days of search no wi.ser than they were before. Out of the general confusion, a few things are evident. One is that the business of providing jobs for the jobless has been stepped up enormously.

Another is that, even with this Increase, hope of putting 3,500.000 to work by Nov. 1 virtually has disappeared, and a figure nearer 3 millions adopted as the new objective. A third Is that greater effort will be necessary if this new goal is to be at- tametl, and the dole abolished at the end of October.

Several Vacancies in Both Houses Remain to Be Filled. Nebraska state senators and representatives are preparing to convene in special session two weeks from Monday to enact legislation designed to enable the state to participate In the federal social security program.

Governor Cochran Saturday mdi- cated his call would go out in about a week and said the Oct. 28 date was good declined to make it any more certain than that. Primarily designed to repair the state assistance acts, invalidated last month by the supreme court the session is expected to last at least two and probably longer. The solons are paid only for ten days, however, at $10 a day. The session is expected to cost in the neighborhood of $2.5.000.

The legislature will be asked to Farmers Offer Proposal of Truce, But Dealers Reject Proffer. CHICAGO. Hopes for an immediate armistice in the thirteen day old milk strike The strikers came forward with a proposal for a thirty to sixty day truce. Dealers spurned the proffer. Then both sides dug in to await developments.

A committee headed by Henry Dunker of Crystal Lake, representing northern Illinois and southern Wisconsin farmers who are withholding milk from the Chicago market, laid their case before Dr. Herman Bundesen, president of the board of health. They asserted they would suspend their embargo for one or two months if they were gfuaranteed $1.75 a hundredweight for their product and all strikers were reinstated on their markets. They also declared their original objective -a price of remain unchanged. But the Associated Milk Dealers combination of 115 Chicago dairies, declined to enter negotiations until the producers determined which selling agency they preferred.

Paul Potter, secretary of the organization, said; prefer to wait until sentiment among the dairy farmers has crvstallized and they know whether they want to stay with the Pure Milk association, recognize the new- rival union producers, sell direct to the dealers or market thru The Pure Milk association is the marketing agency claiming membership of 18,900 farmers. It opposed the strike and declined to deal with the strikers. Some of its members, however, joined tbe strikers, who set up a producers union. order for the "stiff" economic sanctions Capt.

The Italian press, bitter against Great Britain, is charging the League of Nations is under a mandate." and that the program of sanctions was up in London." In the face of the league action, there were new ship sailings from Naples Saturday with troops and war materials. Fourteen ships w-ere hurriedly loading munitions at Naples for imminent departure for East Africa. In London there were more and more indications of an increase of war sentiment. What turn it will take cannot yet be foretold, but England is beginning to think definitely in terms of war possibilities.

Recall World War Tragedy. London afternoon newspapers the twentieth anniversary of the shooting of Edith Cavell, English World war nurse who was shot by the Germans as a spy. Thev linked that tragic episode with the possibilities of a new- "European conflagration" arising from two dynimite loaded questions: 1. Will Italy allow ships carrying arms and munitions to Ethiopia to proceed unmolested thru the Red sea? 2. Will tbe League of Nations powers attempt to enforce the arms embargo against Italy by searching ships bound for Italian porta It was pointed out In the London papers that complications of this precise nature strained relations between Great Britain and the United States during the World war almost to the breaking point.

The leader of the opposition In England, C. R. Attlee, pledged labor's support to sanctions against Italy, and spoke stirringly of "this filthy butchery in The British air defense ministry decided to organise a training center for instruction in methods of meeting air raids and gas attacks methods for peacetime. Proposed Bridge Competitive. WASHINGTON.

Federal roads bureau officials said no proposal for use of federal funds to construct a Missouri river bridge betw-een Omaha and Council Bluffs will be considered unless it has the approval of the public works administration. The bureau disclosed PWA objections were responsible for outright rejection of a proposal of Governor Cochran of Nebra.ska and Governor Herring of low'a for u.se of federal funds to build a free bridge. "It would be foolish for one branch of the government to build a free said R. E. Toma, chief of the division of design, "which would jeopardize the Investment of another governmental agency In a bridge only a few miles away." Toms said if Iowa and Nebraska could work out a proposal which would satisfy the PWA that Its investment in the South Omaha bridge would be protected, the roads bureau would consider the proposition.

W'ASHINGTON. UR.

Events this week fortified the opinion that a major and perhaps predominant question of the 1936 presidential campaign may be "are the people getting their worth from the new deal?" Time and again republican lead ers drilled on the theme of "ex travgance" and "waste." Democratic spokesmen pointed to busl neas progress as proving that administration policies are paying dividends in the private pocketbook. The dollars and cents talks almost completely for the time at least, the protracted generalities over whether or not the Roo.sevelt course squares with the constitution. Les.s was heard, too. about the AAA. Many agreed with former President view that no farm issue is likely to crystallize at lea.st until the supreme court rules on the processing taxe.a.

December is the earliest month that this is expected. Political Drive Relaxes. Political relazatlon appeared the tendency. Postmortems over the opening Roosevelt campaign speeches In the we.st and revised budgetary estimates, and the Hoover ararlgnment of new deal financing, continued without arousing any great commotion. It was recalled that the elections are more than a year off.

after all. and much could happen betw-een time to pitch the campaign on an unexpected plane. Louis McHenry Howe, long the closest political advisor to President Roosevelt, summed up the sentiments of more than one with the assertion that campaign lines can not yet be detailed.

The Gophers line can be credited with keeping tbe Mlrniesota victory record intacL It was a stonewall from tackle to tackle as the Huskera learned to their sorrow in those touchdown Wds in the fourth period when only a yard separated them from pay dirt, on one occasion.

It is doubtful If the Gophers will be as close to defeat the remainder of the season as they were in those tense moments, but with Dale Rennebohm, who played a whale of a defensive game, to direct the defense, the Husker scoring machine sputtered and died. The fans were hardly settled in their seats after the klckoff until the Gophers had a touchdown, it was George Roscoe, a 190 pound pile driver, who was largely responsible. Sam Francis had kicked off 60 yards into the wind, after the Huskers had lost the toas, to Roscoe and back he came down the west sideline 74 yards before Jerry LaNoue forced him out of bounds. Roscoe Swings Across. In six straight plays Roscoe banged the right side of the Husker line, taking a lateral on the last, to scamper thru a badly disorganized Cornhusker defense to score.
