Highway Group Favors 1c Tax Penney a Gallon on Gas Urgent for Road Needs Seventy-five men were guests of the Spencer Commercial club at the banquet and annual meet ing of the Nebraska Highway 281 association Friday evening. Delegations were present from Red Cloud, O’Neill, Spencer, Butte, Bristow and Lynch. The storm prevented the attendance of delegations from a number of other towns. Present from O’Neill were: Sen ator Frank Nelson, Judge D. R. Mounts, Mayor J. E. Davis, J. D. Cronin, Edward M. Gallagher, J. Leo Moore, Earl J. Rodman, H. J. Lohaus, J. B. Grady, P. B. Harty, Norbert Uhl, Axel Borg and James W. Rooney. Officers elected were: Earl W. Carpenter, of Red Cloud, presi dent; J. D. Cronin, of O’Neill, vice-president; Earl J. Rodman, of O’iNeill, secretary-treasurer. Elected as directors from this area were John Krotter and C. H. Fisher, of Spencer; D. B. Ray mer and Clem Dophiede, of Butte; L. W. Gibson and Lester Pearson, of Bristow; John Walt ers and M. F. Gribble, of Cham bers; Art Apserod and John W. Nichols, of Bartlett; Judge D. R. Mounts and Axel Borg, of O’ Neill. Resolutions adopted were: (1) That highway 281 be com pleted and hard surfaced from ONeill to the South Dakota state line; that it is a main traffic outlet for mail, freight and pas sengers from South Dakota and points north, and, if not improv ed traffic will move east through South Dakota and avoid Nebras ka; (2) That US highway 281 be hard surfaced and completed a cross Nebraska; that it is an in ternational highway, about 1,800 miles long in the United States, I, 435 miles is hard surfaced; ov er half of the unsurfaced portion of said highway is in Nebraska. (3) Since the national Highway 281 association, at the national meeting in Waynoka, Okla., sug gested that finances be raised through the sale of $3 member ships, $1 of which is to go to the national association and the bal ance to the state association; bg it resolved that the Nebraska as sociation secure its finances through this method. President Carpenter introduced State engineer Harold Aitken. Mr. Aitxen said tnat there are 1,500 mnes of concrete paving, 3.000 nines of bituminous sur facing, and 5,o00 miles of roads suriaceu with gravel, sand and dirt in Nebraska. Half of the last 5.000 miles needs rebuilding and the estimated cost of tnis work is $100,ouu,00u. Requests to the state hignway department during Jan- * uary and February of 19o2, lor repair or construction of 1,725 mUes of roads, was estimated to cost $46,000,u0Q. IN me million is ! available in Nebraska for the re pair and construction of roads during 1952. Mr. Aitken said that if the people of Nebraska wanted roads that they must furnish the mon ey to build them. Mr. Aitken said that $21,000,o00 in federal funds is available to Nebraska for matching purposes in build ing roads. He said that Nebras ka had not had sufficient funds for this purpose for the past three or lour years. He said that an extra one cent of gasoline tax would bring $4,000,000 in funds, but that under the present laws all of this money was not avail able to the highway department. A portion of it goes to the coun ties, cities and villages for road purposes. Mr. Aitken had a series of slides which dealt with the high way system in Nebraska, types of roads, repair and mainten ance,, amount of money needed and available, amount of money spent in neighboring states and number of miles in the neighbor ing states. Mr. Aitken said that it would be his policy to build roads where the engineering is most feasible and to serve the most traffic. In response to a direct ques tion, Mr. Aitken said that if highway 281 is to be completed it must be built on a direct route and to modern engineering speci fications. A vote was taken as to sentiment in favor of an extra cent of gasoline tax for road purposes ,and only three persons voted against this method. Murder Reward Roosted $500 The Holt county board of su pervisors Wednesday decided to post a $500 reward for the per son contributing the information needed to identify th« slayer of O’Neill’s Police Chief Chet Calk ins.

I QUIET PRIMARY ELECTION SEEN Taft, ‘Ike’ Names Not on Nebraska GOP Ballot (See editorial on page 2) Based on primary election tab ulations of other years, tne April 1 primary election next Tuesday is expected to be a quiet aifair. The big names in both repub lican and democrat parties are conspicuous by their absence. The Holt county—and Nebras ka—republicans, who have gone all-out for Ohio Sen. Robert A. Taft in other years, wiH not find his name on the ballot. To vot for the Ohioan tney will be obliged to use a sharp pencil. Same for Gen. Dwight Eisen hower, who has established some sort of history with write-in suc cess in other state primaries this month. Nebraskans can endorse Gen. Douglas MacArthur by voting for Mary Kenny, a Lincoln housewife who is an avowed MacArthur supporter. Only other name in the presidential slot on the GOP ballot will be the perennial Harold E. Slas sen. former governor of Min nesota. Democrats are in a similar predicament. The titular head of the demo party, Pres. Harry S. Truman, is not entered in the Nebraska primary. They have a choice between Tennessee’s Estes Kefauver and Oklahoma’s Rob ert S. Kerr, who a fortnight ago included O’Neill on his nation wide stumping tour. Chief race drawing interest in tthese parts is the bid of Gov. Val Peterson to unseat the vet eran Sen. Hugh Butler, a matter for the republicans to settle. Holt countyans are watching the weather and road conditions, which probably will be import ant factors in the unusually early primary. April 1 (all fool’s day) happens to be the ear liest possible date a primary can be conducted in Nebraska. County Clerk Ruth Hoffman said there is only one change in voting places in the county this year. In Wyoming town ship the election board will be sealed in the village of Amelia instead of in a rural school. O’Neill voting places are as follows: First ward ana Grattan township — Holt county court house basement; Second — A. Marcellus garage; Third — city hall.

But Search Pressed for Slayer of Police Chief Another solid week of inten sive investigation has failed to grod uce any new leads in the het Calkins murder mystery. Authorities have followed through on numerous interroga tions and two men were held in Omaha for questioning. Late Wednesday night Capt. Harold Smith, head of the criminal in vestigation bureau of the Ne braska safety patrol, had only this to, say: "We're working hard lo crack this case. We have lots of asaiafance iron: brother offi cers. But there is nothing to report." Police Chief Calkins was mur dered during the early morning hours on March 7. His bullet-rid dled body was found in his cruiser car on Everett street, lit tle more than 300 feet from the heart of the O’Neill business dis trict iuesaay me searcn ior me slayer turned to Omaha where police were holding a 23-year-old man who admitted owning a .32 calibre automatic pistol. It was a .32 which killed Chic^ Calkins. Omaha Detective Capt. Harry Green quizzed the man, whom he did not identify. The prisoner cave his address as Kearney, but Kansas authorities were inter ested in him in connection with a stolen musical instrument that had been reported taken at Wichita. The prisoner said he was in Oklahoma on March 7. He said his pistol was at his home in Kearney. One office- late ' Wednesday told The Frontier they were “quite satisfied” the 23-year-old man in question had nothing to do with the slaying. Omaha authorities Wednes day also fired test bullets from a .32-calibre revolver found in a light green automobile which had been parked for two or three days on an Omaha street It was subsequently learned the weapon was owned by a 58-year-old man. He was not held for further questioning. Colored handbills were widely circulated giving the public a glimpse of the much-publicized suitcase. Several witnesses said they saw Chief Calkins talking with a man about 5 feet 10 inch es in height, dark hair, light top coat, while the trunk lid on a late-model car was raised. A suitcase had been reported stolen earlier in the evening from a parked car and Chief Calkins was inspecting the case. It is blue with white trim and bears the initials “D.D." Holt Sheriff Leo S.
