Bob Enjoys Position Very Much
By MELVIN PAUL
The Frontier's Statehouse Correspondent
LINCOLN—You wouldn’t know
the Nebraska state primary -’lec
tions were 11 months away, the
way the political pot was brew
ing this week.
Involved in the news were re
ports that Gov. Robert Crosby is
postponing a decision on whether
he’ll run again, that his admin
istrative assistant, Max Denney,
is returning to his family law
practice at Fairbury, that Victor
Anderson may run against Crosby
and that a point of honor of
national dimensions seemed in
volved in a federal appointment
in Lincoln.
Crosby told reporters inat he
decided to wait until next sum
mer before making up his mind
about running for governor again.
He said he thought he could be
a better governor if he could act
without having everyone connect
political overtones to what he
does. He added that he enjoyed
the position very much.
Inside sources say that Crosby
isn’t just being coy. They say he
has been offered a “once in a life
time’’ post of some kind. Re
portedly the offer is only good
until January. 1955, when his
current term ends.
Originally he had been given
until August to make up his
mind—and has told reporters he
would decide on his gubernat
orial plans then. Apparently he
has now been given an exten
sion of time and is able to put
off the decision.
Word leaked out that Crosby’s
assistant, Max Denney, will leave
about the first of the year to go
back to his law practice. Appar
ently, Orcsby has urged Denney
to stay but the Fairbury attorney
has said he is needed by the firm,
which has always been composed
soley of members of the family.
In the midst of this have come
indications that Victor Anderson,
Lincoln hardware man, whom
; Crosby defeated in the republican
primaries last year, may try it
again. Anderson wouldn’t say
“yes” to reporters but he definite
ly didn’t say “no.” The former
Lincoln mayor said his friends
have been urging him to run. He
said they tell him that current
Nebraska tax troubles might hurt
the chances of other candidates
for state office if Crosby were
to head the republican ticket.
Anderson said friends, particular
ly in Omaha, thought that the
best way to keep the equalization
of taxes from becoming an issue
would be for someone besides
Crosby to be the GOP standard
bearer.

Party Feud—
A dispute over a relatively min
or federal post—assistant U. S.
district attorney for Nebraska,
stationed in Lincoln—has raked
up some old political wounds
from the Eisenhower-Taft fight
last year which spilt Nebraska
Republican ranks. The word was
that Charles Thone, young re
publican leader and an assistant
attorney general, was slated for
the post. He and Don Ross of
Lexington, the new U. S. district
attorney for Nebraska, were
friends and of somewhat the
same political inclinations. Just
the day before the announcement
was to be made, the rug was pull
ed out from under Thone. Re
ports are Lee Rankin, former
ly a Lincoln lawyer, who is now
with the Department orf Justice,
blocked the appointment.
Since Thone is the Lincoln rep
resentative for Sen. Dwight Gris
wold this proved embarrassing in
some circles.
Thone was a “Taft man” last
year during the pre-convention
campaigns. Everything on the sur
face remained calm but it was
known that strenuous backstage
efforts were being made. Some
are pushing the Thone appoint
ment; others are seeking^ a man
of the Eisenhower faction who
will go after the job. The annual
salary, $5,900, is apparently prov
ing a stumbling block as a num
ber of young lawyers have turn
ed down the position because
they can make more in private
practice.
* * *
Running Again—
State Republican Chairman Dave
Martin said he would be a candid
ate for the office again. He said he
had thought of giving it up but
decided to continue. Indications
are he’ll have a “shoo-in” for
the job. As one politician who ex
1 presses no great affection for
Martin put it, “Dave is a hard
worker and puts a lot of time in
on the job. We figure NebrasK.1
will stay republican. And with a
non - partisan legislature, state
chairman doesn’t mean much. Of
course, if Dave and his'bi-parti
san group would get a partisan
legislature, the party might have
to get a strong chairman.”

Governor's Trip—
Governor Crosby soon will be
starting out to visit state institu
tions and offices over the state.
He says it is not a political trip.
He will stop in courthouses to
talk over the tax situation with
county officials. Also, whenever
he stays overnight he plans to
have an “open house” at his hotei
so any citizen can come and have
a conference with him on any
problem. These stops wil be pub
licized ahead of time. Here’s
the schedule: Sept. 29. Geneva,
Hastings; 30, Kearney; Oct.l,
Trenton Dam dedication, Strat
ton, McCook; 2. Grand Island;
Oct. 6, Milford, York, Columbus;
7, Norfolk, Wayne; 8, Ba&sett,

Doubts—
The state highway department
has some doubts about the am
bitious street oiling programs
going on in many small Nebraska
towns. Officials point out that
such oiling doesn’t meet their
specifications because it isn’t
permanent. Reportedly out - of -
state outfits sell towns on the
idea that if oil is put on a street
once a year for three years that
it will provide a surface. The
Highway Department doubts that.
They agree that it settles the dust
and on a quiet residential street
might be a good thing. But they
wonder about towns where ben
ifit districts are being formed and
special assessments made for this
work. There is also talk that Ne
braska contractors won’t do the
work because they live here and
want to continue getting con
tracts—which they might not be
able to do if their “permanent
surfacing” wore away quickly.
CDA in Session—
The Catholic Daughters of
America met Tuesday, Septem
ber 15, at the Knights of Colum
bus hall. The evening was spent
playing Monte Carlo. Mrs. Lylo
Green won high, Mrs. Augusta
McPharlin won low, and Mrs.
Bert Winchell won the all-cut.
