C&NW Gains $10,000 on Mail Hauling (Continued from page 1) to keep the trains and thereby save jobs for 48 to 50 operating employees. But opposition developed at the statehouse Tuesday when the legislature agreed to intro duction of the bill, voting 26-6 to permit introduction. Senator Nelson said the pro posal could mean a saving of 28 thousand-dollars a year on the 4f 0-mile Omaha-to-Chadron run »nd help the C&NW balance the budget on the two money-losing trains. Senator Syas of Omaha, a Un ion Pacific employee when not in the legislature, argued against 'n the bill. The flagman is placed on the train for safety’s sake, he said. Sen. Lester Anderson of Aurora said the proposal comes “about 20 years too late.” : o Trains 13 and 14 operate under the old fifll train crew law, which provides for five. Senator Nelson declared the brakeman could dou ble as a flagman. Cal Stewart, The Frontier pui, • Usher and president of the Savi Che-Trains group, has stated the safety factor is negligible because when westbound train 13 passes through O’Neill at 6:30 a.m., the closest train behind is at Fremont, 160 niiles away. On the other hand, when eastbound train 14 c reaches O’Neill at 12:05 a.m., there is no other eastbound train within an hour and half behind. % flagmen work on trains 12 ill 14—three between Om aha and Long Pine and three between Long Pine and Chad ron, all on staggered schedules. The train-savers have contend ed the problem of keeping these last two remaining passenger raail-express trains is a four-way ^proposition: (1) the public must increase support; (2) the C&NW c .must improve equipment and ser ■vice; (3) the government should restore some of the mail haul that lias been diverted away from these two trains, and (4) the labor unions should relieve the pres o sure somewhere along the line. •. c ° Work-shop o <-'■ at Page— PAGE—The guest speaker at the Sunday morning, May 1, ser vice at the Page Methodist church will be Rev.

Ainsworth Project Hearings Hext WASHINGTON—Legislation to provide for the construction and operation of the Ainsworth emit of the Niobrara river project' has been introduced by Rep. A. L. Miller (R'-Nebr.) The Niobrara development' is a part of the ov erall Pick-SToan plan. The bill, HR 5749, points out | that the provisions of public law 612 of the 83bd congress have , been met and that the unit is both physically and economically fea sible. Even though the report has not b^en transmitted to the congress by the secretary of interior, the bill was introduced to insure that hearings would be held during .this session. Despite the crowded schedule of the house interior committee, Representative Miller hopes that hearings will be held during this sesion. The project got a thor ough hearing during the last con gress and most committee mem bers are quite familiar with the project. In the meantime; Sen. Clinton Anderson, chairman of the sen ate subcommittee on irrigation and’ reclamation, iff “very recep tive'" to the idea of holding hear ings' on the Ainsworth unit during the same week they are held in the bouse. Opponents of the project—very ;few m number but leud in their objections—realizing they could not attack the project on feasi bility have tried desperately to try tt* prove diversions However, as pointed out during the hearings, if this were diver sion: no irrigation project in Ne braska would be ablb to operate. Other irrigation districts in Ne baska are carefully watching this point and are prepared to join in supporting the Ainsworth district in fighting any attempts to rule that this would be unlawful di version. K. T. (“Kim”) Karabatsos pointed out that certainly the Ne braska legislature did not intend to kin irrigation in this state and that the courts certainly did not intend to stop irrigation through the rulings they have issued in terpreting the Nebraska water law. “They wanted to protect the water- rights of the people so they could' develop irrigation districts,” Karabatsos said. • “If through the warping of facts this is called; diversion,” Karabatsos pointed out, “Nebras ka will be locking; the door on the orderly development and pro gress of our state’k greatest in dustry—agriculture. “Certainly no real Nebraskan would want this; on his con science,” he concluded.
