State Capitol News . . . 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, Beatrice. Highway 3 Association dinner at Beatrice; Oct. 13, Scotts bluff. Alliance; 14, Chadron, Hy annis; Oct. 15, 20, 21, Omaha; and Oct. 22, Nebraska City and Peru. * * * » 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. * « *i i 0> * * i « % * « ♦ » * « ® ® ® ® ♦ • # # • » » ■ • « « * • V 0 • « * • ® * • * * -m r • • • * at,he heart of all e & * <$ # 8> Air Sfep fashion is the comfort of the » Magic Sole & * * « * » « ♦ « * * « & & & • * *> • * * ® $ ® # » # » <? » very ounce/ of fashion ... with all the comfort in the world j 10.95 Pr.
