EXPLAINS LEGION'S STAND
Boston Dr. NeU D. Williams, tir I
national vice commander of the Am

veterans' compensation certificates
aroused protests from several legion
executives Monday, spoke at a ban
quet here Saturday. He took the
place of National Commander O'Neil,
who is ill.
"The American Legion does nbl
want to deviate from its legislative
program," Dr. Williams said, "we
desire to take care of disabled vet
erans first of all. We are for the
payment of adjusted compensation,
in principle, but we favor no special
plans and we will look with disfavor
on any individual who tries to dis
rupt our program."
Congressman Patrcan of Texas,
who Monday asserted in Washington
that the legion's legislative agent in
Washington was obstructing passage
of adjusted compensation legislation,
was also present at the banquet and
called for payment.

Regular Admission
Roy Cochran to
Stay on Job as
State Esmeer
Official Announcement Lacking Rut
Retention Indicated Rryan Ap
pears to Re Satisfied
State Engineer Roy Cochran is to
stay on his Job as the supervising
and planning head' of Nebraska's
highway organization, under Gover
nor Bryan.
All the signs point to this, al
though no official announcement of
the fact has been made at the capi
tol and not n word on the subject
has come from either of the two men.
It has not escaped notice, how
ever, that a month hr.s passed since
Bryan ws inaugurated as governor
in whi'h he has had ample time to
put a new man in charge of highway
construction and maintenance if ho
intended to do bo. Thai no surh step
has been taker is regarded as the
best evidence that none will be.
Other departments under the gov
ernor's control are in new hands.
The public works department alone
lias not ben disturbed to date. Its
affairs are running along smoothly,
and apparently a good understanding
exists at this time between Governor
Bryan and State Engineer Cochran.
just how this situation came
about, after the public had beer,
given to understand in statements
issued by Mr. Bryan previous- to his
'kaing office that fie contemplated
changing the personnel of the high
way department, has not been made
clear. Perhaps, like Topsy. it "just
grew." Perhaps the governor nad
;nore trouble than lie anticipated in
finding another man with the re-iui-ite
qua lift ti'iaa nd expericr.i -c.
it may be, too. that public opinion
had something to op with it.
Laying 0r)t Year's Program.
Whatever the explanation, it is a
fact that Governor Bryan now seems
to be satisfied to keep Cochran and
make use of the lalter's long experi
ence and familiarity with the state'?
highway problems.
Probably it was not hard for the
governor to come to this conclusion,
in view of the fact that he first se
lected and appointed Cochran to the
state engineer's post in 1923. That
two republican governors subse
quently made use of Cm III ! serv
ices in the same position and claim
ed credit for extensive roadbuilding
during their respective administ ra
tions was. in one sense, a compli
ment to the executive who found the
right man for the job.
One thing that undoubtedly influ
enced Bryan in favor of retaining
Cochran was the urgent pressure up
on his administration for speeding up
an emergency program of highway
work throughout the state in order
to take advantage of 3 1-2 million
it liars of federal funds that are
available to Nebraska this year but
must be spent by September 1. un
der the terms of the act by congress
appropriating the money.
Shaping up such a big program,
on top of the regular amount of
construction operations to be car
ried out during the 1931 season with
gasoline tax revenue and federal aid,
was too big an undertaking for any
green hand to tackle. Governor
Bryan, as a good business man,
knew this. And that is probably the
one big reason why Roy Cochran re
mains state engineer.
Sawed Wood and Said Nothing.
During all the time that the ques
tion of Cochran's reappoint men t was
hanging fire, when criticisms of his
anticipated dismissal by Governor
Bryan were drawing fire from many
sources, the state engineer had noth
ing to say. He declined to be drawn
into a controversy involving his ten
ure as a state official, but kept right
on with the performance of his du
ties. Friends of Cochran are aware that
he had more than one string to his
bow. In all likelihood he could have
stepped right into another Job pay
ing as much salary, or more. Some
men would have quit then and there
in disgust. But the state engineer
"kept sweet" and did nothing to
ruffle the situation. He has the dip
lomatic temperament combined with
the habit of a soldier ((he is a World
war veteran and a United States re
serve officer) to keep plugging along
at the business in hand and let
other matters take care of them
selves. When the time came for Gover
nor Bryan to assume responsibility
for the conduct of the state govern
ment., there were many things de
manding Bryan's attention. There
were appointive positions to be fill
ed, conferences to be held with state
senators and representatives, depart
mental policies to be put under way,
and the financial budget to prepare
for submission to the legislature.
Ah yes, the bird set. That was a
big task. And the bifcgest and most
important feature ,af - it was the
spending of about $24,000,000 in the
next biennium for highways.
Got State Engineer's Advice.
And who was there to advise Mr,
Bryan on this section of the budget?
Whq. Roy Cochran, to be sure the
same whom Bryan had called to the
job eight years before and who has
boon on it ever since.
About that time, too, the stat
senate was arching up its back and
showing its teeth to the governor
because he had named "deputy sec
retaries" in code departments and
I wailed to suhmit their names f'r con
ifirmation. If Bryan bad "fired"
'Cochran at that juncture, it would
doubtless have touch' d nfT some im
posing fireworks in the senate. The
movement to take the highway de
partment out of the governor' hands
and turn it over to a special commis
jsion might easily have become form
idahle in the legislature.
Governor Bryan didn't do what his
critics would like to have had him
do. He called Cochran in for infor
mation and suggestions relative to
the budget. There was a capitol com
mfsrion meeting, also which brought
the two together in their cap -ities
as ex officio members. Then came the
drafting of plans for letting emer
ge rtcy highway contracts to relieve
unemnli vinent. announced daring
j the past week.
Thus the picture stands. There
' is no sign of any chance to take
place in the highway department.
Cochran remains at his post and pub
lic apprehension over his expected
dismissal has disappeared. Every-
thing 18 lovely and the goose hang.;
