Val Decides to
Try for Senate
LINCOLN—Gov. Val Peterson
on Wednesday confirmed what
has been an open secret in Ne
braska politics for many weeks:
He is a candidate for the United
States senate.
The stocky, mostly bald, gray
ing chief executive will have for
his opponent Sen. Hugh Butler, of
Omaha, an announced candidate
for a third term. Butler is 73;
Peterson 48.
The campaign—which actually
has been underway for some time
—is expected to begin in earnest
within a few weeks. The April
1 primary is only 5 months away
and both camps are preparing for
a rugged battle.
Peterson will likely need a lot
of battle to unseat his firmly-en
trenched foe. The white-haired
Butler controls the closest thing
to an organization—outside the 2
parties—in Nebraska politics.
It cannot properly be called a
machine, because it's doubtful it
could deliver an election for
anyone but Butler.
Butler’s supporters point with
genuine pride to his record in the
senate. They maintain that he ac
curately reflects the thinking of a
majority of Nebraskans.
From the governor’s standpoint,
the situation has improved in the
past few weeks. His declination
of the draft movement in the.
Third congressional district ap
pears to have bolstered his stock.
One earthy party regular puts it
grudgingly: “He came out smell
ing like a rose.”

Jitter-Calmer—
Nebraska’s 5,300 holders ol
land leases were getting letters
this week from the state board of
educational lanhs and funds. The
letter was intended to calm the
jitters that arose following a re
cent supreme court decision re
quiring that all leases sold after
1947 be placed on the auction
block.
The letter, over the signature
of Board Secretary Henry Bart
ling, says: “The action of the
board of educational lands and
funds in conducting auctions of
school land leases seems to be
misunderstood by some Nebras
kans. The board’s action was
taken as a result of the supreme
court’s decision declaring the 1947
automatic renewal law uncon
stitutional. Sine the leases made
subsequent to 1947 were granted
in violation of the constitution,
they never were legal documents;
in fact, in the eyes of the law,
they did not exist.
‘‘Future contracts with the state
have not been jeopardized. You
will note that the 25-year leases
which were in existence before
the unconstitutional law was
passed are still in force. The new
leases now being drawn in ac
cordance with the court decision
likewise are valid.
“If inequities in this procedure
result, it is something over which
the board has no control or auth
ority to adjust. This Is regret
table, but under the circum
stances, unavoidable."
That's not the way the letter
was drafted. Governor Peter
son, who has been fielding
most of the brickbats tossed by
irate leaseholders, wanted this
instead of the last paragraph:
"Obviously many inequities are
resulting because of the invalid
leases. The board sincerely re
grets any injustices but is power
less to take any other action. I
am hopeful the next legislature
can find a wray to make adjust
ment of some of these inequities.”
Atty.-Gen. C. S. Beck and State
Superintendent of Schools Free
man Decker objected to the lan
guage proposed by the governor.
Probably the most significant
question of the meeting was asked
by Peterson of the other members
of the board: “How many letters
have you received on this thing?”
Two or 3 was the average answer.
• • •
Big Business—
To show that the board is not
dealing in peanuts, John Kleck
ner, the board’s sales supervisor,
estimates that the sale of leases
will bring in around $3,000,000.
Original estimates were “some
where between 1 and 2 million."
So far the board has received
$701,059 for 303 leases in 27 coun
ties. Kleckner said the total will
be over a million dollars by the
time you read this.
Highest price paid thus far for
a single lease was $24,200 for a
section of wheat land in Perkins
county.
* • •
No Special Session—
Nebraska’s legislators won’t be
called into a special session to
consider the old age assistance
problem.
Governor Peterson, who had
polled the lawmakers after Sen.
Hugh Carson, of Ord, had asked
for an extraordinary (meeting, said
the overwhelming vote against it
“ends the matter.”
But there was ample evidence
that Carson, a candidate for the
republican nomination for gover
nor, had made some political hay.
Letters-to-the-editor columns of
daily press carried eloquent testi
mony that the old age clients had
gotten the point.

5 Percenter*—
Nineteen state agencies whose
budgets are under the supervi
sion of Governor Peterson, were
told at a hush-hush meeting last
week to trim 5 per cent off their
spending during the current bien
nium.
If they are successful—and it’s
doubtful whether they will be—
it will mean a saving of $1,721,
000. More than a million of this
will be in the board of control
agencies.
'Gov' la Miffed—
The governor’s office was mif
fed that the story leaked out.
“We wanted to wait until it had
been accomplished,” one side said,
“and besides, we knew we’d be
accused of doing it for political
gain.”
The spokesman was right. The
democratic Lincoln Star began its
story:
“Amibition of Gov. Val Peter
son to serve in the U. S. senate
may result in benefits to the tax
payers.”
