The State of Nebraska has been instructed by the court to execute one Joseph MacAvoy on December 30, but it cannot perform the act without getting the necessary pri- orities on execution equipment from the WPB, Last August 7, Private MacAvoy of Brooklyn, stationed at Nebraska's Harvard Air Base, murdered 16-year-old Anna Milro; of Sutton, Nebraska. At the trial, MacAvoy confessed, “I hit her with the crank, but I didn't use chisel. Somebody else did that.” The jury promptly brought in a verdict guilty, recommending death. The death sentence was pro- NO By Josenh of nounced by the judge, and the date| has been set for December 30. But shortly after the trial, offi- cials of the State Penitentiary dis- covered that their electric chair was of order. It has been many since Nebraska has had to punish a crime by execution, and the chair requires certain new parts before it can be operated. When this was discovered State government sent teleg to the War Production Board, ing for priorities on new e tien equipment WPB officials scratched their heads, aking whe- ther the electrocution of a private in the Army could be called essen- tial to the war effort Meantime, Nebraska officials be- gan to look around for a way out, in case WPB turned them down They found that Nebraska law Chapter 29, Section 2504, gave them no choice, It read “The mode of inflicting punishment of death all cases shall be by causing to pass through the body of the convicted person a current of electricity of sufficient intensity o cause death out vears the human organization than 300 high school, courses are facing the the ! emphasized, Mr. Lehman's plan calls for considerable self-help on the part of the occupied countries, but self-help implies political stability, a reawakened pub- lic consciousness, a feeling of security.

HEART AND HOME: \ Women | Harding, 20 YEARS AGO 7i'c empire e --de { DECEMBER 22, 1923 In a speech delivered in Los Angeles to the Federation of States’ ! Societies, John Hooper, President of the Tourists' Societies, who visited | Jungau the previous September, declared that the congestion in Alaska lounst travel was due to the circumstances that was an erroneous imprc\slon prevailing that July and August were the best months to make the trip and that all try to crowd into the ships during those months. He contended that May, June and September were just good months in which to make the Alaska trip and urged that tourists make the trip early in order to get better accommodations. After instructions had been issued to City Clerk J. A. Davis notify all dairies to submit applications for renewal of licenses necessary to the sale of milk and dairy products on the local market, it was indi- cated by the City Council that it would refuse to grant renewals unless sanitation and other requirements had been complied with.
