Triumphal Return Husker Fans Hail Heroes By HAROLD SIMMONS If anyone was dissatisfied with the small margin of victory over the Missouri Tigers Saturday, they certainly at Sie Airport when the team returned Saturday night.

But an estimated 600-700 happy men, women and children were they were waiting to give the team and coaches a warm, tumultuous welcome when they descended from the three airplanes. The Cornhusker team obviously was pleased with the huge welcoming crowd. look at all these said one husky ball player. ly divided between children and adults. If adults were a little shy about talking to the players, the children hesitate a bit about confronting their heroes.

In order for all their children to see the players, they finally had to hold a child on each shoulder. For the Huskers who have a ride back to town, there were two chartered buses and a motorcycle police escort. After they pulled out of the Airport between two lines of cheering fans, it looked like they were the lead of a long, brightly lit parade. Strung out along the road were hundreds of automobiles carrying the fans back home after the 20-minute welcoming party.

As the tension built up, one of the viewers turned to his neighbor and said: Nebraska wins, shall we knock the screens Nebraska did win but nobody knocked down the big screens, which would have toppled much faster than any goal posts. Despite the usual problems of viewing football electronically, the screening was a success. Public address announcer Ralph Beechner begged fans not to smoke. The plea was made not on health grounds, but because the haze which builds up makes it difficult to see the screen.

Twice at crucial moments (and what moment crucial in this game?) one of the TV projectors took time out and threw a garbled pattern on the screen. The players always in focus (maybe why Gary Lane, the Missouri quarterback, was so hard to catch), and the cameraman was fooled a time or two. But nobody complained. The camera close-ups enabled these sit-in-the-dark fans some views their drenched brethren 400 miles away in Columbia, could not have. try.

The shouting drowned out the voice of announcer Bob Zenner most of the time. It was the third time Nebraska fans have been treated to a closed-circuit showing of their team on the road, and the first time Nebraska hasr won a big-screen extravaganza. Nebraska lost to Oklahoma in the first two closed-circuit telecasts, 34-6 in 1962 and 17-7 in 1964. Yes, you would have to call the big-screen television show a success. Not once did somebody ask to switch to another channel.

Rep.

He hinted at several possible legislative crackdowns Congress might take against the Klan as a result of the investigation. He suggested the possibility of enacting a a 1 anti- Klan law similar to those already enforced in several states. One feature of such a law would make it a crime to burn a cross on private property, Willis said. The Louisiana congressman also mentioned a proposal by Atty. Gen.

Nicholas DeB. Katzenbach that members of the Klan be required to register with the government. There is currently on the books a law requiring registration by the U.S. Communist Party. The party will be on trial here Monday on charges of refusing to register as an agent of the Russian government.
