LINCOLN, Nebr. Oct. 21. --A revolt against the NRA broke out in Nebraska, on Thursday, by Nebraska home insurgent political leaders. Gov. Charles W. Bryan said farmers throats are being "cut from ear to ear" by the abandonment of anti-trust laws and declining farm prices. He urged inflation instead of pouring money in at the top. Former Governor Keith Neville, another Democrat, announced his resignation as State NRA chairman because of lack of sympathy to its program in the agricultural territory. He said price changes produced virtually a buyers' strike among farmers. Senator Norris, independent Republican who supported President Roosevelt, sent a second appeal to the President to inflate currency by retiring a billion and one-half dollars in Liberty bonds with new currency instead of refunding them with another. Democratic leader and Congressman E. R. Burke, expressed regret at Bryan's criticism of the Recovery program; he said he knows the President will throw the force of his administration behind any move to help the farmer.
