Johnson. Douglas is the only county in the stale not required by statute to file a budget with the state auditor.

The 92 counties which have reported estimate that for the fiscal year, July 1, 1945, to June 30, 1946, they will have available $6,636,305.93 in their general funds; $3,003,263.13 in their bridge funds; $5,806,146.18 in road funds; in county road maintenance funds; $1,185,205.93 in general relief funds; $175,004.66 in and relief funds; $144,003.29 in county fair funds; $71,512.59 in pension funds and $654,042 in miscellaneous funds. The sihei star medal for gallantry in action, awarded posthumously to Capt. Walter A. Luther, former Cornhusker grid great, was presented Thursday afternoon to his widow, Mrs. Marian B.

Luther, 3030 So. 27th, Lincoln, at a ceremony held on the University of Nebraska campus. The presentation made by Lt. Col. Merle J.

Senn, acting director of military training. The citation is as follows: gallantry in action on 20 1945, near Mount Belvedere, Italy. During the assault on a strongly defended mountain peak. Captain Luther went forward of his company with a small detachment of men to scout out enemy positions on the summit in preparation for moving his men into position to wipe out the last hostile resistance. He set up an outpost about midway between his front line and the enemy positions, and was spotting the hostile emplacements when a terrific barrage of mortar, machine gun and small arms fire swept the area, and the enemy launched a counter-attack against the small detachment.

ONE of his men attempted to contact their battalion headquarters by radio to ask for support. Captain Luther held the enemy at bay with fire from his sub-machine gun and with hand grenades. As the little group aggressively maintained their position against overw'helming odds, enemy sniper fire hit Captain Luther and instantly killed him. Inspired by his spirited leadership and courageous sacrifice, his men continued to fight on until help reached them, and they were able to consolidate their positions on the summit of the mountain, thus completing their mission. Captain Luther, by his splendid courage and aggressive actions, has earned the perpetual admiration and praise of those who witnessed his heroic deeds.

His accomplishments have earned him a high place in the finest traditions of the United States CAPT.VIN EITHER was a student at the University of Nebraska from 1938 to 1941 when he left for army service. He completed the advanced course of ROTC at the university and was commissioned a second lieutenant infantry- reserve on July 20, 1940. Luther was prominent in athletics, playing three years of varsity football at right halfback with the Cornhuskers. The final game of his college career was the Stanford-Nebraska game played in the Rose Bowl Jan. 1, 1941.

MANY OF THE counties, the budgets show, have made an additional levy of 1 mill which authorized by the 1945 legislature for the purpose of matching federal funds for the construction and improvement of the principal and secondary feeder roads within the counties. Lancaster county has budgeted $480,255 for that purpose and several others have 100,000 or more set aside for road purposes. All counties, the exception of McPherson, are making a levy for road purposes. Only 36 counties are making levies for pension, which is probably due to the fact that aid for dependent children under the state and federal assistance program has been increased. This is the first time that counties have been required to file their budgets with the state auditor.

For that reason it is not possible to make comparisons with previous years. Move to in north, south Korea SEOUL, Korea. (Friday).
