Capitol News . . . ‘State’s Highways Seriously III’ LINCOLN — Nebraska’s deter oriating highways are rapidly coming to the front as the num ber 1 discussion topic among Ne braskans. Flood damage, plus a heavier than-usual spring breakup, has focused on the ever present road problem the attention not only of the people who use the roads but of civic leaders and business men who realize their very live lihood depends on usable high ways. There are several developments in the week’s news to point this up. * * * Disease— The better Nebraska associa tion, the group formed to pro mote Gov. Vai Peterson’s high way program, met here last week to explore a 1953 legislative plan. Une members were told blunt ly by State Engineer Harold Ait ken that the disease of highway deterioration had reached epi demic proportions. He said the rapid crackup of the state’s road network “unay eventually result in immobility of the transporta tion system. Our highways are seriously ill. It’s time for all groups in Nebraska to fight against the common enemy of highway deterioration.” The BNA was the loser in the 1950 referendum fight which end ed in the repeal of the penny-a gallon gas tax increase and high er registration fees. • • * What Would You Do? — Meanwhile, the chairman of the legislative council committee studying highway finance, Sen. Karl Vogel, of Omaha, addressed a meeting of the U.S. Highway 183 association at Holdrege. “If you were a senator, would you now vote to reenact legisla tion already disapproved by the people?” Vogel asked The answer was a resounding “yes.” The association, under the lead ership of Tal Coonrad, of Sargent, chairman of the Custer county supervisors, called for reenact ment of the revenue measures. An attempt to pass the bills again in the 1951 legislature was defeated. There were two rea sons for this. une was a personamy con flict between Sen. Otto Proha. of Gering. who sponsored the re-enactment of the gas tax boost, and Sen. Arthur Car mody, of Trenton, who was pushing for a bill to set up a highway commission. The re sult was failure for both bills. The other reason was the fresh ness of the 1950 referendum vote.’ Legislators were reluctant to go against their constituents. With the passage of time and disintegration of highways, there is high hope among backers here of the revenue proposals that one or both of the two tax bills may get through in 1953. Sen. Dwight Burney, of Hart ington, chairman of the legisla tive council, told a reporter, “I think they <the backers of the referendum move) are ready to admit they were wrong.” • • • Flood — The man who will spend the $750,000 provided by the state and the federal government for flood relief in Nebraska has set the state’s flood damage at $12 mil lion. Brig.-Gen. Guy N. Henninger, state adjutant general, gave that figure to legislators here as they were Stamping tneir approval on a bill which would add a half million dollars to the quarter million allocated to the state from Wasnington for flood relief. Meanwhile, a survey teaan of state and federal representatives began a detailed inspection of the flood area. Lt.-Col. Kenneth Ristau and Maj. Jack Goodrich, representing Henninger’s office, and a mem ber of the federal housing and home finance administration com pletes the team. • * • Blast — Republican Gov. Val Peterson uncorked a blast at President Truman’s statements on flood control in the Missouri river ba sin at a news conference last week. Ke charged the president with trying to stand on both sides of the controversy over whether the basin should be developed un der the Missouri valley authority, giving greater control to the fed eral government, or whether it should be done under the Pick Sloan plan as at present. Peterson said Truman implicit ly criticized the current method by appointing a basin survey commissioner, yet when he met with flood-state governors at Omaha, ‘‘he boasted that he and General Pick drew up the Pick Sloan program ” • • • Diraft — Some Nebraska farmers think their draft boards have been too tough on denying agricultural de ferments. A delegation from Cass county came to see the governor last week. Some weeks ago, this department reported that Brig. Gen. Louis Renfrow, the deputy director of the national draft headquarters, had taken sharp is sue with what had been a state policy on agricultural deferments. Briefly, it had been the atti tude of state selective service headquarters here to take a dim view of farm deferments so long as the country had large surpluses ot farm commodities. Renfrow called this policy short-sighted. General Henninger, who directs the draft program, said he had received no large-scale com plaints from other counties.
