Political Careers at Stake
CAPITOL NEWS
LINCOLN — State authorities
this week were still coping with
a many-headed monster—prob
lems created by the August 16-17
riot by hundreds of yelling, ram
paging, fire-setting convicts at
the state penitentiary at Lincoln.
Events were moving rapidly in
the wake of this 13-hour arson
rebellion which caught broadside
a newly constituted state board of
control in the midst of creating a
“new look” in operations under
its supervision. *
A mild, short-lived demonstra
tion took place again Sunday af
ternoon at the trouble-ridden
state penitentiary. The Sabbath
uprising was put down quickly
before it had time to spread.
At week’s end it was not
clear how all the participants
in administering the institution
would weather the storm. But
the picture at that time seemed
to have these general outlines
1. There was some confusion as
to who was running the peniten
tiary — Warden Joseph Bovey,
State Penal Director B. B. Albert,
the board of control or Gov. Vic
tor Anderson.
2. The same old difficulty in
pinning tjie blame for prison
troubles was being found in this
case. A few troublemakers among
the prisoners? A weak adminis
tration? The same forces which
worked to get rid of former War
den Herbert Hann seemed bent
on ousting Bovey. Every out
break brings a delighted, “We
told you so” from this faction. On
the other hand, there seems to be
no end to the trouble and there
was little doubt Nebraskans are
becoming tired of it.
3. Governor Anderson has be
come inextricably entangled in
the situation. Although under the
Nebraska constitution supervision
of the institutions is vested in the
I_1 __j._1 _3
uuaiu uj. vuuu va uiivA hvk
governor, it is difficult for a
governor to keep out when
things are going wrong. In one
sense he is responsible in that
board of control members are ap
pointed by governors. Governor
Anderson is enmeshed deeper in
this particular situation because—
rightly or wrongly — the public
associates him with the appoint
ment of former Statehouse Cus
todian Bovey as warden. The riot
brought to light that Bovey had
been leaning on Anderson’s office
for advice on administrative de
cisions.
4. A firm outline of “musts”
was announced by Governor An
derson 1Jie day after the riot end
ed. These included a new maxi
mum security building (known as
the “jail” or “hole”); devising of
complete plans to meet every
possible riot emergency at the
penitentiary; and an overhauling
of guard employment practices
and wage scales. The governor’s
announcements, while perhaps
not strictly his business under the
constitution, apparently were
made because Anderson wanted
action and saw the board of con
trol was still in the “investigation
and discussion” stage.
5. The rebellion proved the
doubtfulness of some of the
board’s past policies. In past
years the board consistently re
sisted all suggestions that the pri
son jail be rebuilt. It has held
down wage scales for guards al
though past and present prison
officials have pleaded that they
couldn’t get good men for the sal
aries offered. The board has also
tried to keep a firm hand over
institution supervision, resenting
any independent efforts by su
perintendents. This has repeated
ly backfired with such superin
tendents as Dr. G. Lee Sandrit
ter of the Hastings state hospi
al and George Morris of the state
reformatory for men quite vocal
in their criticism of board poli
cies.
6. Although the avarage tax
payer might not like the taste, the
rebellion called into question the
advisability of penny - pinching.
The state board of control had
the best “savings” record of any
major state agency the past two
years, ending up with 15 percent
of the money appropriated it by
the 1953 legislature. No one could
say that spending more money
could have stopped the trouble.
But apparently the taxpayer’s
fond dream of less spending didn’t
head off disaster, either.
7. The lack of a policy in in
forming the press bore its usual
spoiled fruit. Although the “new”
board under Tom Dredla of Crete
was trying to establish sound
press relations policies, these went
down the drain during the riot as
newsmen were kept outside the
penitentiary gates and received
no confirmation of the fire and
rioting inside for five hours after
at started. Governor Anderson
insisted, “What difference does it
make whether the public finds
out something at 9 or 10:30?”
The governor promised some
thing would be done about this in
the future, however.
At week’s end the answers
were being sorted out. On the
finding of solutions could well lie
the political careers of some of
the men involved as well as the
future of the board of control
system itself.
Outstate observers were quite
generally agreed that concessions
made during the March riot were
the invitation to more trouble,
which dominated the state news
last week.
* * *
Schools and Welfare—
A majority of Nebraska tax
payers apparently will be facing
bigger tax bills this fall. Atten
tion is likely to be focussed on the
22 percent increase in the levies
for support of state government.
But many a citizen could look
from his front doorstep and see
some equally alarming increases.
In a number of places the in
creasing number of youngsters
coupled with the decreasing
numbers of teachers have created
a situation bound to bring higher
school taxes.
Other high school taxes are
being paid in towns trying to
continue inefficient high schools
or where reorganization to
bring in surrounding territory
has failed.
County taxes, too, are mount
ing in many places. State Auditor
August Known as
Miserable Month
ROCK FALLS — August — the
month of family reunions and va
cationing, and the weatherman
making it miserable. Still there
are those who will defy nature
and go on their merry way to
various vacation spots or perhaps
just to pay a few days visit to
some relative of friend.
Whether the distance may be
near or far its nice to be able to
forget for a while the heat and
labor of the recent weeks and re
turn to those unfinished tasks
with renewed energy and wil
lingness.

i ---
Ray Johnson places much of the
blame on mounting welfare costs.
And these come not because of
more people on the rolls, he ex
plains, but because doctors and
hospitals are charging more for
treating welfare clients.
County boards in some places
are begging doctors to “let up”
but with little success, Johnson
reports. One northwestern Ne
braska county has threatened to
hire a county physican to care for
its welfare clients.
Holt countyans are faced with
the highest mill levy in history.
This in the face of valuations be
low one and two years ago. The
state levy is the highest since
1920 — the year constitutional
changes were made in the tax
setup.

Nebraksans Must
Renew Licenses
Nebraskans must renew their
driver’s licenses this year. The
present drivers’ permits expire
September 1.
The cost of the renewed permits
is $2 and they must be secured
from the county treasurer m the
county in which you reside.
If an inidvidual fails to renew
his license by the deadline date,
November 1, he must take the reg
ular driver’s examination.
Under no circumstances will
an driver’s licenses be renewed
prior to September 1. Renewals
may be made by mail by sending
the old permits to the treasurer
along with the $2 fee.
There’s one new angle in the
driver’s license program. It con
cerns teen-agers.
Beginning September 18, per
sons who have not reached their
20th birthday anniversary, cannot
secure a regular driver’s license.
Instead, they will be issued a spe
cial probationary license, good for
one year only, and costing $1.50
per year.
However, if you are under 20
years of age and make application
before September 18, you can re
new your present license at the
regular $2 fee for two years.

An Award of
That Pays Dividends in Better Electric Service!
Recently, and for the second consecutive year, The Na
tional Safety Council granted Consumers Public Power District
its Annual Award of Merit for a noteworthy achievement in the
field of Safety in electric utility operations. The Management
and Employees of Consumers are proud of this record for two
reasons. First, it means that a number of our employees and
their families were spared the grief and suffering that follows
in the wake of accidents. Secondly, accidents are costly in loss
of manpower and property damage.
In reducing accident frequency and severity a contrasting
increase in operating efficiency is obtained. To you, our elec
tric customer, this means that highly skilled personnel are able
to spend more man-hours on the job serving your electrical
needs. By reducing lost man-hours and property damage doe
to accidents a significant contribution to lower operating costs
is made—a fact which results in more efficient service, at lower
cost, to you l
