KVKNING STATK JOURNAU LINCOLN. TI KSDAY, AUGUST 19, 1911. SEVEN FROM MORNING JOURNAL Council orders acquired in 15th street action against purchases may heat city hall printing shops liutructions to the city's legal to take whatever steps necessary to enforce the zone ordinance were issued Monday by the council. The subject matter is the print shop in residence A territory. A short time ago the engineering department caused a survey to be made and reported upwards of nine such places altho one was Inactive and another had nonconforming aspects.

Following receipt of that report, Mayor Johnson asked City Attorney Kier for a check as to violations. The attorney reported Monday that of the nine originally mentioned, two are in local business areas, one claims non-conforming claussification while one or two have discontinued operations. This, apparently, would leave but four or five. Kier said he could not vouch for the statement that the one shop had been continuously in operation since prior to enactment of the zone law in 1926. Lytle Plans to Move.

The Lytle Printing company had heretofore operated under temporary permit renewed annually. Tha proprietor was quoted as saying that he expects to move from the present location, residential, 850 No. 21st. Some time ago protest against alleged violations on the part of printers in residential zones was submitted by the Allied Printing Trades council and the Central Labor imion. Deputy City Attorney Wagener, following meeting, dictated letters to the offenders reminding that they are in violation of the ordinance and requesting that they appear at his office in regard to the matter.

Prosecutions are not anticipated if so called Illegal practices are discontinued without unnecessary delay. Insofar as the record discloses. Lytle is the only residential printer operating under permit. Amen Suggests Hearing. Mayor Johnson said that it Is time to decide whether to correct or enforce the ordinance in this regard.

Councilman Henry Amen suggested a public hearing to give offenders opportunity to be heard. willing to give the legal Apartment instructions now to take necessary said the mayor. This decision was reached by Unanimous council vote. Attorney Kier, in response to a question as to methods of procedure, said the city can notify offenders of violations and if notice fails to do the business, prosecute under the ordinance. He added that each continuance may constitute a separate offense under the law and subject the offender to fine up to $100.

'The other available method, he said, 1s the injunction. Grocers told must expect price control TTiat old boiler in the city hall basement, part of the equipment which keeps councilmen, directors. stenographers and clerks warm in winter, was ticketed Monday for the junk pile and in so consigning it, councilmen became aware of the fact that the city may be possessed of one or more useful boilers thru purchase of street properties for 15t.h street opening and the buildings of the McKinley school site. Councilman Henry Amen advised his colleagues, engineers and others to look about in these newly acquired premises for a boiler which retains some life. A resolution, however, was approved which declares an emergency to exist making it necessary to purchase a boiler for the city hall heating plant.

The mayor was authorized to enter into purchase contract. Steps under this resolution will be halted until an examination of assets at hand is made. Frederick Wagener, of the legal staff, advised that the municipality became possessed of boilers with buildings purchased for street development unless specific provision to the contrary was made. No such provision was mentioned. It, therefore, appears that the city will inspect some of its own boilers before entering the market for a new one.

It was suggested that the Variety (formerly the Varsity) theater boiler may fill the bill. Dr. E. A. Gilmore, U.N.

Granted a nine months le of paving for Mrs. Heiikelmann wants new caution signs at all schools Mrs. Carl Henkelmann, 400 So. 33rd, as parent and school patron, appeared before the city council Monday afternoon to urge installation of permanent combination stop and caution signs, such as are in use at Capitol school, at all school in the city.

SCOTTSBLUFF. srifpt to wi Price fixing in an atterlpt to ward off inflation must be expected in the food industry, Sam Freed, Denver, advertising manager of the Great Western Sugar company told more than 100 delegates at the opening session of the Nebraska Retail Food Dealers convention here Monday. Freed said the national emergency is changing peace time economy into a war economy and the indictment of food retailers at Denver last November was an expression of the policy of price control. The emergency overtook the retailers before the president declared it and might be termed the first war casualties among the food Freed declared.

No stigma was attached to the indictments, he said. Charles Emerson, vice president of Paxton Gallagher company, Omaha, advised the grocers they must discard the percentage plan for profits in favor of a dollar and cents reckoning on the basis of turnover if they hope to remain in business thru the stormy days ahead. Dealers who continue to figure costs and profits on percentage may find supposed profits are actually losses when computed on a turnover basis, he said. Independent dealers must learn the Intricacies of syndicate pricing arid proportionate selling which chains employ and then apply the system to their own businesses, he declared. Disney dismisses cartoonists LOS ANGELES.

(iP). The Walt Disney movie studio was shut down Monday and 1,000 employes were dismissed. Herbert Sorrell, acting business agent for the Sreen Cartoon Guild, said he hoped the shutdown was in good faith and an economic necessity, as the studio claimed, if it have to start tlie picket lines the The Screen Cartoon Guild had only recently returned from a strike when 250 workers were dismissed. The studio said there was a lack of market for Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck. The union charges the company discriminated In selecting the 250 to be dismissed.

The studio countered by closing down. F. D. R. reveals plan to ferry warplanes WASHINGTON.

In a far- reaching step to offset any German move to French Dakar and to strengthen British forces in the middle east, President Roosevelt announced plans Monday to ferry American war planes direct to Africa and on to the middle east front. The white house announcement, which quickly followed the return from his historic sea conferences with Prime Minister Winston Churchill, described the new service as important step to speed delivery of planes direct to the middle However, it was considered Important also for its effect in neutralizing any move the Vichy government might make to turn over Dakar, French West Africa, or Casablanca, Morocco to Germany for naval and air bases. It was noted that tlie white house announcement said importance of this line of communication between our country and strategic outposts in Africa cannot be Under agreements concluded with the Pan American airways system, the white house said, the ferry system and a companion transport service would direct and speedy delivery of aircraft from the of to a critical point in the front against Pan American will ferry the planes from the United States to west Africa and thence to the middle ea.st, also establishing an air transport service from west Africa to the middle east. It plans to arrange a similar transport service to west Africa. Pass War Zone.

The route is so arranged that it will nowhere pass thru the zone of actual The supplemental transport service, carrying plane parts and items to effective delivery of aircraft middle east, will bring the ferry personnel back on the return journey. The white house said the route would also be available for general commercial use, thus direct air service from New York or Baltimore to The route itself was not disclosed. It was believed, however, that the ferry service for bombers might operate from Trinidad or some other United States south Atlantic base to Freetown, in British Sierra Leone, on the west African coast, a distance of slightly more than 3,000 miles. As for shorter-flight military planes, it was thought that arrangements might be made to fly them from a Pan-American base farther south, perhaps on the bulge of 1,600 miles across to Freetown.

Still another possible landing point in Africa was Bathurst, British Gambia. From there the planes could fly by way of the Gold Coast, a British colony, to Khartoum on the Nile. has endorsed this type of sign, which fits into the curb apace the same as ordinary stop signs. Director Venner roughly estimated the required number, should this program go thru, at 250. The city purchased eight of them, he said, for use at Capitol.

They cost $12.50 each. While stating that he has no criticism of thia type of sign in matter of operation, the cost item was mentioned. The budget for the ensuing fiscal year, already approved, does not take such expenditure into acpount, nor does the appropriation ordinance, passed on three readings via rule suspension Monday. The council referred the request to Venner for investigation and report at next meeting. Mrs.

Henkelmann had one of the combination signs at hand for demonstration purposes. She described it as a labor saver to janitors and said that signs dragged to and from street centers naturally deteriorate. The sign in question is stop sign when children are going to and from school, and at other times, a caution sign. It was invented, she said, by a Lincoln school custodian. She engaged in debate with Councilman Stanley Maly over value of the caution feature.

schools are not In session, why the he asked. Mrs. Henkelmann said that even when school is not in session the reminder that a school building is there has its value. children are there, certainly the stop should be there. If no children, no sign.

It occurs to me that the shift to caution is superfluous under the replied Maly. Northeast high Members of the city council Monday reaffirmed a stand previously taken in favor of street development in the vicinity of the new Northeast senior high school It develops that the fine building was arranged for a spot difficult in way of approach. The council concedes that in order to take advantage of educational facilities, boys and girls must be able to reach the educational center. Particularly mentioned as sorely in need of surfacing were (1) 63rd, Logan to Fremont, five blocks, and Gladstone to Huntington, nine blocks, 14 blocks all told, a street reaching from the heart of Havelock and skirting the school to the east; (2) Adams street, 64th to 63rd. The unfortunate admission is that in both Instances a major portion of the abutting land is purely agricultural and.

perhaps, unable to stand assessment for such improvement. 63rd is paved from Fremont tb Gladstone, two blocks. Amounts to Confiscation. Director Erickson explained that he has investigated five types of paving. The most expensive is standard paving and runs about $175 per 50 foot lot exclusive of WPA assistance.

On an acreage basis, going back 135 feet to assess, an acre of agricultural land would be assessed about $900. This, according to expressed opinion, certainly would amount, in many instances, to confiscation. Even the least expensive type of road Improvement, curbing and guttering with an inch and a half of gravel spread over the roadway, is reckoned $50 for an abutting 50-foot lot or about $250 against one acre of abutting farm land. It Is admitted that 63rd is a direct artery to the new school, al.so that it is the half-section line. Total cost, however, of 63rd alone would amount to upward.s of $35,000, standard type, and $10,000 for curb and gutter.

Aid Bill Defeated. Before thelegislative committee last winter, Erickson pre.sented chart and figures on street improvement coats in connection with Northeast high and other schools where surfacing is badly needed. That appearance was in connection with bills to increase from 10 to 30 percent share of the county gas tax and to give municipalities one-third of auto registration fees paid within the county. Those bills were defeated and with defeat went hope of financing, in such manner, these badly needed improvements. Madison street is being paved from 56th to 59th but that leaves a gap between 61st and the west school frontage line.

leave of absence from his duties as assistant professor of economics at the University of Nebraska. Dr. Eugene A. Gilmore, has gone to Wasliington to join the research and standards division of office of price administration and civilian supply. Dr.

Gilmore joined the university faculty in 1936. He plans to remain in Washington only for the duration of his leave, tho his service to the agency, headed by Leon Henderson, may last longer. FDR signs army service extension bill WASHINGTON. The top draft age was officially lowered to 28 Monday and at the same time the way was cleared for an order extending the service periods of the rank and file by 18 months. With swift strokes of his pen.

President Roosevelt signed into law two measures revising the draft act and affecting the lives of millions of young men. The flr.st granted mandatory deferment from tho draft to men who were 28 years old last July 1. Registrants whose 28th birthday falls after that date will be liable for induction until the following July 1 when they, too, will receive autonantic mandatory deferment. The second, source of prolonged controversy In congress and approved by only one vote in the house, gives Mr. Roosevelt authority to keep selectees, national guardsmen, re.setwists and enlisted men In service for as much as 18 months beyond the period for which they were Inducteii.

It was believed an executive order extending the service of these men, with some possible exceptions, would be issued by Mr. Roosevelt soon. Shoots father, then gives hlood for transfusion McANDREWS, Ky. Pike county Deputy Sheriff Ru.sh Chatman said that Ray Ratliff, 20, shot his father Monday, then accompanied him to a Williamson, W. hospital and gave him a blood transfusion in a futile attempt to save his life.

Chatman quoted young Ratliff as saying that the father, David Ratliff, 38, came home drunk and began to abuse Mrs. Ratliff. The youth told the deputy he fired a pLstol at his father when he believed his mother was in danger of being seriously injured. The son summoned the deputy and accompanied him to the hospital. He was held without charge.

Griswold puts fate of world up to individual Speaking at the Seventh-day Adventist conference at College View church Monday evening, Governor Griswold declared that the present world crisis could be overcome if each individual would take it on himself to practice Christian living. Christian philosophy Is that every individual before God has work to do. The holy writ teaches that the situation cannot be saved by the masses but by the individual as he wills to do the right, the true and the noble, coming from the heart of not hate. "If we have the Christian ambition to make the world a little better as we live, life will be very worthwhile. We find three eon- tlngents engaged in a worldwide war.
