Labor Generalities Not Enough

L,INL.OL,N—An event momen
tous for Nebraska began this
veek as a private engineering
firm began studies to see wheth
er a toll road in the state would
pay.
The study was made possible
. because a group of New York
investment banking firms agreed
to foot the bill. Although the 1953
legislature set up the State Turn
pike authority, it did not give it
a nickel to spend.
t So a study financed by private
interests seemed the only way to
get something ready for presenta
tion to the 1955 legislature. The
• authority, headed by Chairman
Raymond McGrath of Omaha,
worked long and hard to per
suade the New York firms that
such a study should be made.
A boost in their efforts came a
month ago when Iowa state au
thorities interpreted facts gath
ered in an engineering study to
be “positive.”
That is, with certain qualifi
cations, the data seemed to in
dicate that a toll road across
Iowa would pay after a certain
number of years if the traffic
across the state keeps increas
ing as it has the past few years.
The firm which made the Iowa
survey, Coverdale and Colpitts of
New York City, will also make
the Nebraska study.
This company suggested in its
Iowa survey that Iowa might be
able to get its turnpike at a con
siderably lower interest rate if
the legislature would agree to
back up the bonds with an ap
propriation. It would be expected

that this money would never oe
used but it would give the bonds
a better chance on the market.
Particularly it would reassure
bond buyers who would be wor
lied about what would happen to
a toll road if there were a three
or four-year war which would
cripple highway travel.
Something like this might
eventually be asked of the Ne
braska legislature.
Anyway, the Coverdale, Col
pitts company promised to have a
survey completed between Oma
ha and Lincoln. This is believed
to be the area that would have
the best chance of paying off and
also it hooks up with the west
end of the route Iowa is thinking
about.
The survey will be ready by
January. Slate highway de
partment traffic survey records
will be used as well as the re
sults of the Iowa study. But
even more important will be
what highway engineers call
origin-and-destinalion studies.
That means stopping and inter
viewing motorists, asking them,
"Where did this trip start and
what is your destination on this
trip?”
As many as 25,000 to 30,000
such interviews may be made.
A turnpike may be several
years away. But, meanwhile,
Kansas is going ahead with its
toll road plans and in a real sense
these compete with Nebraska.
The survey started this week
might be of great importance to
Nebraska’s future.

Industrial Chances—
Another event held recently
could have marked results in fu
ture years. That was the indus
trial symposium held by the
state division of resources and at
tended by more than 600 Nebras
ka business leaders, including F.
N. Cronin, president of the O’
Neill National bank, and James
W. Rooney, secretary-treasurer of
the O’Neill Production Credit as
sociation.
Although Secretary of Defense
VV IlSUH Wd3 uic Iicauunc
speaker, those attending the ses
sion got advice, encouragement,
and a warning of the pitfalls in
attempts- to industrialize this pre
dominately agricultural state.
Dr. Max Thornton of the Mid
west Research Institute of Kan
sas City, Mo., said there were
certain factors which made “op
timistic” the prospects of Nebras
ka getting industry in the next 25
years. These included the west
ward shift of population in the
United States, the desire for de
centralization of industry, par
ticularly because of the present
military situation, the favorable
type of labor in the midwest, and
the fact that industries now seem
to want to settle in or near small
er towns. Another factor is the
“wearing out” of present Eastern
plants.
State Geologist Eugene Reed
said that the water resources in
Nebraska are as good as any area
of this size in America. Natural
gas production in Cheyenne and
Deuel counties will be another
aid to attracting industry, he said.
But Ellis Haller, a reporter for
the Wall Street Journal who
covered the meeting, warned that
47 other states were trying just
as hard as Nebraska to get in
dustry.
W. M. Brandes, vice-presi
dent of the Elgin Watch com
pany, which has a plant in
Lincoln, praised the high qual
ity of Nebraska workers. But
he warned that Nebraska can't
sell industries on coming here
"merely by generalizing about
the high character of Nebraska
labor."
F. S. Dickinson, jr., president
of Becton, Dickinson and com
pany, which has a plant at Co
lumbus, said his “friendly advice”
for Nebraska would be to start
planning for the conservation of
its resources such as water, pass
ing legislation if necessary. He
said the communities should plan
for “roads, schools, and other
expenses which will come with
industry.”
J. O. Peck, Columbus banker,
said a community must work
closely together to attract indus
try, must have all the facts po
tential industries would want to
know, and must give a “warm
welcome.”
* * *
Republican Campaigning—
The republican candidates for
state and national offices began
their regular election year cara
van across the state. It began
with a bigger splash than usual
with Vice-President Richard Nix
on speaking on opening day.
There is a general feeling in
GOP circles that the party will
have little trouble in the coming
elections. But, just in case, plen
ty of “big brass” from the Eisen
hower administration will be vis
iting Nebraska.
Already Vice-President Nixon
and Secretary of Agriculture
Benson have been here. President
Eisenhower and Secretary of De
fense Wilson visited Nebraska in
more or less non-political ca
pacities.
Scheduled to come between
now and election day Novem
* ber 2 are Secretary of the In
terior Douglas McKay, Nation
al Chairman Leonard Hall and
Illinois Sen. Everett Dirksen.
The only fly in the ointment
for republicans is the fact that
some of the candidates are not
too well-known. Congressman
Roman Hruska, powerful in his
home area of Omaha, may not be
as well known across the state.
On the other hand, Congressman
Carl Curtis of Minden may need
help in Omaha.
Two congressional candidates—
Phil Weaver of Falls City in the
First district and Jackson B.
Chase of Omaha in the Second—
are slated to get special help in
their races, particularly in the
matter of party finances.
This confidence mingled with
an air of “taking no chances” was
apparent at the party’s post-pri
mary convention at Norfolk.
A surprise of the convention
was the decisive 116-76 voting
down of an effort to commend
Sen. Joseph McCarthy of Wiscon
sin and reprimand the senate
committee now investigating
him. This reversed an action by
the party at a similar convention
at Fremont in May when by a
standing vote Nebraska repub
licans endorsed the controversial
Wisconsin senator.
