The suit brought by the Roberts Dairy company of Omaha sought relief for tax purposes for a donation of $750 to NTEA which was denied. The court held that NTEA was not an educational and scientific organization as claimed by NTEA officials, but in fact was for the purpose of carrying on propaganda, or otherwise attempting to influence legislation." One of the highlights was the testimony of Vernon Scott of Chicago, of the NTEA, who a said that since its inception, NTEA "did not, to his knowledge ever urge anybody to write their congressman about anything. The government in its brief said "Despite the denials of the peti's and tioners' chief administrative officer, it appears obvious that the activities of NTEA are designed to promote or influence legislation. Without doubt NTEA exists for the purpose of bringing about the removal of the tax exemptions in favor of the cooperative assoc-- ! iations which compete with pet- itioner and other contributing members . . ." the Sen.

Had a Republican been elected governor, the plan was for the new governor to name Senator Vandenbergs son as his successor. However, now if he resigns, a Democrat would succeed him. making the senate division 00 Democrats and 46 Republicans instead of 49 and 47. There is little question but that the new congress will make foreign policy, both in the Far East and in Europe one of the first subjects on its agenda. i Utah to fljra Self-Insure- d titolitep No chasing down self-insure- rs steps to turn water on.
