The whole issue of civil rights seems to have boiled down to an FEPC with compulsory powers. Leading supporters of Eisenhower, in an attempt to enhance their candidate’s chance: to win in the fall, began talking about an FEPC with “teeth.” However, Ike him self has not showed any indication that he has changed from his po sition that FEPC came under the jurisdiction of the states.

Remember "TRY THE PEERLESS WAY" 322 So. 11 Geo. H. Lemon this latest bid by the Republicans as a “fraud.” They said they could i not see the Negro vote going to ■ the Republicans. : Meanwhile, Walter White, exec utive secretary of he NAACP, and Rep. Adam Powell (D., N. Y.) ’ said the Democrats will lose the 1 Negro vote because of the pres ence of Sen. John Sparkman on 1 the ticket. j But a survey conducted by a national news service showed that colored leaders in 12 southern states expect Negroes to continue voting the Democratic ticket. These leaders admitted, however, ,that the presence of Sparkman on the ticket might result in the party losing a sizeable Negro vote, but retain enough to win the elec tion. Sen. Sparkman continued to op pose a compulsory FEPC law, and branded the civil rights issue as politics. He said last week the issue could be “worked out by reasonable men” if divorced from politics. He added he opposed the type of FEPC that had been proposed in the past because it did not per mit change for the “dotting of an ‘i* or the crossing of a ‘t’.” GEO. H* WENTZ Incorporated L v „ . _ ..

OLION, S*pmi*Un4tnt • TAT* aiATOaiCAl BOCIMTT The years of World War I, and those immediately following, bringing a rapid development of automobile traffic in Nebraska, 'brought, a demand for .good roads —and the highway problem,! which has plagued Nebraska ever since, developed into one of the state’s major concerns. Beginning in 1905, when the legislature first took cognizance of the automobile—in a celebrated law which required the operator of an automobile to halt oh the I highway until the driver of any frightened horse could get past— the legislature was besieged by various goptl^roads projects. As Governor Ntorehead indicated in his message of 1915, however, no tangible results came of these early efforts. In the transition pe riod between horse-and - buggy roads and automobile highways, jit seemed impossible to get agree ment on any proposal for a cen tralized road system. In 1915, however, the legisla ture established the beginnings of a centralized road system by cre ating a highway advisory board and the office of state highway engineer. The legislature that year also raised the annual auto mobile fee to $3, the proceeds to be used in dragging roads. During Governor McMullon’s administration (1925-29) the Ne-1 braska road program was de-j veloped from insignificance to the' largest item of state expenditure,1 both as to social importance and totul sums spent. Basic in the program was the two-cent gas1 tax. By 1929 there were over 3,700 miles of improved highways.' usable in all seasons. The federal government aided materially in the construction of through highways. Highways were known by names rather than numbers, and some of the names were highly descriptive: the Com husker highway, the Alfalfa Trail, the Black Hills Trail, the Potash Highway, and the Sunflower Trail, to mention but a few. Mr. W. E. Stover of York re cently presented the State Histor ical Society with a collection of early maps and road guides to |j Nebraska’s highways.
