As they pass along, guests
will be given a test on
scouting fundamentals for
which all answers will be
located at some point in the
displays. Those getting the
test correctly completed
will be awarded 1,000
"scout bucks."
“Scout bucks” may be spent
later in the evening in bid
ding on door prizes' which, of
course, will go to the persons
who have been successful in
winning the most “dollars ”
Adults will assist in the
guise of barkers to lure cus
tomers' to the booths and in
some cases will help in carry
ing out the tests. Barkers so
far chosen include Donald
(“Bub”) Davis, George Ment
zer, Gene Castner, Robert

State Capitol News—
150 New Doctors Granted Permission
To Practice Medicine in State
LINCOLN—Nebraska has a
new state health director —
“temporarily.”
Dr. Frank Snyder. 60, of
Grand Island, accepted Gov.
Val Peterson's appointment,
but said:
“It is my desire to hold the
job temporarily and you may
continue to seek a doctor who
wants to make a career of
public health work.”
Doctor Ryder will assume
his post November 15.
The present health director,
Dr. W. S. Petty, will probably
return to his former position
as chief of the community
health division. Because this
office is financed by both
state and federal funds, he
will receive more than the
$5,500 a year paid the state
director.
Doctor Ryder was graduat
ed from Creighton medical
college and has practiced in
Grand Island since 1920. He
served in both wars.
Governor Petenrson wants
the facts and figures on
production and distribution
of hydroelectric power in
Nebraska and the Dakotas.
He has directed a request
to W. G. Sloan, bureau of
reclamation represenla t i v e
and chairman of the Mis
souri Basin Interagency
committee, asking for "full
and complete" information
concerning plans of the bu
reau and of the army engi
neers in the matter.
“When we have this infor
mation,” the governor said,
“then the committee should
be able to get down to cases.”
Governors of North and
South Dakota both have reg
istered protests with present
allocations of power from the
Ft. Randall project. Under
federal law, Nebraska would
get almost half of all the
'power produced because it is
| a public power state.
Politics flavored statehouse
discussions this week.
The talk centered around a
possible successor to A. T.
(“Bert”) Howard, of Scottsbluff,
who has indicated he would
resign his chairmanship of the
state Republican centra] com
mittee. Howard as been re
cuperating at his home after
sufferring a stroke in Lincoln
several weeks ago.
noDert i_:rosuy, ouuu rmue
lawyer and lieutenant-govern
or during Governor Peterson’s
first term, took himself out of
the running for the job.
'“Mv chief reason,” he said,
“is that I am now chairman
of the state Citizen’s Commit
tee for Action on the Hoover
commission recommendations.
This is a bipartisan activity.
I am enthusiastic about it and
it takes all of my spare time."
Meanwhile, Max A Den
ney, Fairbury city attorney,
and unsuccessful candidate
for the GOP’s nomination as ]
attorney general in the last
election, jumped into the
race.
He said he is seeking office
“because I believe the time is
ripe for the GOP to tap all of
its potntialities in Nebraska.
The way should be open for
all citizens of Nebraska, Re
publicans and Democrats, to
join together in opposition to
increased government controls
and higher taxes.”
Joseph Wishart, treasurer of
the state party organziation,
represented Howard at a mid
west GOP pow-wow last
weekend. The Lincoln attor
ney was acting state chair
man during the Dewey cam
paign and is believed inter
ested in the job.

Rent control got back into
the state capitol headlines last
| week with a request from
i Omaha Mayor Glen Cunning
ham to Governor Peterson to
summon a special session of
the legislature to deal with
controls since rent gouging
had created a “general state
of emergency.’
The chief executive declined
to call the session and said:
"It was my judgment and
still is that rent decontrol
should have been determin
ed by the people of the
communities invoved."
The governor commented
that special sessions are ex
pensive, usually disrupting
and “It is a serious matter to
call one.
“However, if this problem
gets out of hand, it might
prove necessary to place it in
the hands of the legislature,”
he said.
“Certainly, consideration for
calling a special session could
only be given on the basis of
specific, detailed information
regarding the rental situation
after the effective date of de
control.”
“Fair enough,” said Mayor
Cunningham
The board of control report
ed last week that the state
penitentiary here is crowded
past the point recommended
by penal experts and the sit
uation is likely to grow worse.
At week’s end there were
819 inmates in the pen with
three and four prisoners in
some cells.
If commitments continue to
surpass the number of prison
ers discharged, the board will
be compelled to build a sep
arate barracks, it said. The
board’s 10-year plan includes
a dormitory for approximate
ly 250 trusties, expected to
cost around $500,000.

A rundown of other devel
opments:
Rolland Harr, chief of safe
ty and law enforcement in
the state aeronautics depart
ment, said only six fatal air
accidents occurred during the
first nine months of this year,
resulting in nine deaths. This
I
is 57 percent under the same
nine months of 1948.
