Capitol Newt . . ,
Senator Butler , °
Formally Files
LINCOLN — The death last
week of Sen. Kenneth S. Wherry
has thrown the already muddled
Nebraska political picture into a
near riot.
At week’s end, Governor Peter
son was still declining to discuss
a possible appointee. The capitol
corridors overflowed with rumors
of deals within deals within
deals.
Out of the whole maze, only
3one thing appeared eve$ close to
certain—and thei^ were some
skeptics even there—£hat Peter
son himself is not likely to re
sign so Lt.-Gov. Charles Warner
could become governor and ap
point Peterson to the Wherry va
cancy. °
The governor told reporters
there was no change fTom the
statement he made when de
clining the so-called "draft" in
the Third District to succeed
the late Rep. Karl Stefan. Then,
he said:
‘‘If you want to ask me wheth
er I would resign so Charley
could appoint me to the senate in
case of a vacancy there, the an
swer is no. I’m going to serve my
term as governor.”
That would appear to be flat
enough, but the skeptics recall
that Peterson himself thought he
was "boxed” by the party in the
third district vacancy.. Ke ap
peared convinced: he would have
to become the GOP candidate to
succeed Stefan.
“Swedes are unpredictable,”
somebody said at that time and
how right that waj! That’s why
some people—including this re
porter—are not willing to bet
that Peterson is completely out of
the running.
Swedes are unpredictable.
o
Closed Incident—
The charges of Joseph Nekuda,
a discharged state motor fuels in
spector, that he was asked to
campaign for Governor Peter
son in a state car and at state ex
pense, hav£> been dismissed by
the governor as a “closed inci
dent.”
But State Sen. Hugh Carson,
of Ord, a candidate for the GOP
gubernatorial nomination yel
led, “Whitewash!”
Carson, who appears to be
campaigning against Peterson,
rather than Mayor Anderson and
North Platte’s Robert B. Cr<^by,
said Peterson’s remarks were of
the same kind that “whitewashed
the investigation of the whole
sale liquor industry” which he
forced during the la^ legislaure.
Peterson’s remarks followed
publication of a letter from Ne
kuda’s former boss. Agriculture
Director Rufus Howard, which
said the discharged employee was
guilty of “the most outstanding
example ofcniisconduct” in mak
ing unauthorized trips as a state
inspector.
Employees are cautioned not
to campaign on state time, How
ard said, “but it is understand
able in the heat of a campaign,
employees do not always adhere
to this rule.’
• • •
0 Sen. Hugh Butler filed Tues
day for the nomination as repub
lican candidate for United States
senator from Nebraska. o
His filing came as no surprise;
he had announced in a dispatch
from Washington several weeks
ago that he would seek reelection.
Following is a statement issued
by the senator:
I have given serious consider
ation to the matter of filing for
reelection to the United States
senate. The life of a senator js not
all honor and glory, but rather
hard work, sweat, tpil and many
times, disappointment. For the
past 11 years I have devoted all
my energy and thought tp the
problems and welfare of tne peo
ple of Nebraska and the nation
1 believe that thp principles oi
the republican party must be at
tained if this nation and the lib
erties of our people are, to lx
preserved.
These are crucial times. We
cannot afford to fumhle-rwe can
not afford to err. We dare not
risk inexperience. The laues ir
the forthcoming presidential elec
% K
ion promise to be the greatest
and most momentous in our his
tory. Judging from the attitude of
the people all over the country a
change in the administration is
essential. A republican victory in
the presidential campaign is al
most a certainty. For the first time
in many years the republican
party will be entrusted by the
people with planning and pytting
into effect a program which wifi
once again bring peace with pros
pertiy.
Because of this new challenge
I feel obligated to play a part in
the shaping of the future destiny
of this nation. My experience ov
er the past 11 years will be of
great value. The people of this
state are entitled to that exper
ience. Because of my term of ser
vice, my seniority in the senate
is a matter of consequence. At
present I am the third ranking
republican member of the all im
portant finance committee which
handles all legislation on taxa
tion; I am the ranking republican
member of the committee on in
terior and insular affairs, the
committee which deals wijh all
legislation affecting conservation,
irrigation, and flood control; and
I am the chairman of the stra
tegically important republican
committe on committees. Repub
lican victory would assure the
people of Nebraska the chaionan
ship of the committee on interior
and insular affairs.
°lt was this committee that act
ed favorably on a bill which I
with others introduced in 1944
putting the Pick-Sloane plan into
opera' o i. o

Atkinson Man Struck
In Face by Saw
ATKINSON—L. E. McDowell
walked into the blade of a hand
saw Tuesday, November 22,
when he happened to walk by
a stretch of wall on the opposite
side of which a carpenter at the
McDowell home was working.
Mr. Carroll, the carpenter, was
sawing from the opposite side of
the partition so of course, did not
see Mr. McDowell and Mr. Mc
Dowell did not see the saw in
time to avoid the accident. The
saw came through the cwall ex
actly at the level of his eyes.
The cut on the eyelid required
several stitches. He says he con
siders himself very lucky. Not
long ago, Mrs. McDowell’s hand
was caught under the window as
it came down, cutting a vein.
She was alone at the time.
