SBORNE’g SHOES FOR ALL THE FAMILY North - Central Nebraska’s Biggest SHOE STORE State Capitol News . . . Sandritter Blasts Control Board LINCOLN—Nebraska’s mental heaith program is in the news tms week. Dr. G. L. Sandritter, superin tendent of the Hastings mental hospital, announced he had quit oe^ause “I no longer cared to be associated with the board of con trol.” sandritter has long been a cri tic of board policies concerning mental health practices. In his statement, Sandritter said: “We are not giving patients at the Hastings state hospital the best medical and nursing care that the medical profession knows how to give.” Sandritter said the primary reason for that is lack of doctors and failure of the board to pro cure good doctors. But Dr. Cecil Wittson, state mental health director, said Ne braska has a “definite, long-range mental health program” which is drawing national recognition. The program, according to Wittson, is correlating training and research “which is enabl ing us to meet our basic need— that of personnel.” “The best way for Nebraska to get more personnel is to train them right here in the state,” he said. “We now have only one-fif th of the psychiatrists that we need.” Wittson said the U.S. public health service has “expressed confidence” in Nebraska’s pro gram by granting the state $85, 000 annually for a training aid fund. But Wittson warns that Ne braska should not expect the pro gram to bring “immediate re sults.” He said the complete training of some persons in psy chiatrics takes as much as six years in addition to college and medical school training. And, Wittson added, “money won’t solve all our problems. But it will go a long way in aiding our out-state recruiting program.” Sandritter told a unicameral legislative committee the board of control has been pre-occupied with small matters. He said they would take valuable time to wrangle over the purchase of 22 blankets instead of spending their time on more important matters. Sandritter believes in treating: patients instead of harboring them. He said the case load at Hastings could be reduced near ly one-third with adequate treatment, thus saving the state thousands of dollars. Philip Vogt, Douglas county welfare director, said in a letter to the Omaha World-Herald that Sandritter’s loss would be a se vere setback to the Nebraska mental health program. Sandritter is the second state institution head to leave this month. Earlier, Supt. George Morris of the men’s reformatory at Lincoln was fired by the board. * • • Peace Crusader— The Nebraska statehouse was visited last week by a woman who says she is walking 10,000 miles for world peace. She calls herself “Peace Pil grim.” She will not disclose her age or real name but when she stopped at the statehouse she had completed 7,000 miles of the planned tour. Kansas was next on the weary trip she started in 1953. The gray haired woman said that Nebraska has been “extra friendly to me.” Since being in the state, she said, “I’ve slept on the grass only two nights.” And, she added, I’ve been averaging three meals a day.” The unique trip, she said, “has inspired a lot of people to work and pray with me.” Since she started walking, the woman said, two of her three main points have materialized— peace in Korea, and an advisor to the president who studies methods of attaining peace. The third, she said, is world disarmament. * * * New ‘Governor’— Nebraska had a new “governor” for two days last week. He was State Sen. Dwight Burney of Hartington, speaker of the legis lature. Burney, a veteran of the Ne braska legislature and thinking about running for lieutenant governor, filled in for Governor Anderson, who was out of the state. Anderson attended a mid west governor’s conference. Nebraska does not have a lieu tenant-governor. Lt.-Gov. Charles J. Warner died recently and Burney is next in line when the governor is out of state. * * * Important Trial— A trial in Lancaster county dis trict court drew much attention, even though it involved only a second degree arson charge. State officials watched the trial with interest. Before the jury was a state prison inmate, Gilbert Sageser, 28, San Luis Obispo, Caui., charged in connection with an August 16 riot and $112,000 fire at the penitentiary. But, Lancaster County Attor ney Elmer Scheele said the real issue was whether inmates run the penitentiary, or the adminis tration. The inmate was found guilty but it took several ballots and nine hours of deliberation to get the job done. The defense attorney, W. W. Nuerenberger, had charged that prison officials knew beforehand that the riot would occur but did filing to stop it. * * Education Committee— Nebraska has a new state school redistricting committee, selected by the state board of ed ucation. The board named Walter French of Stromsburg; Allen Burkhardt of Norfolk; Mrs. Paul Morrison of Mitchell; William Brandt of Unadilla, and Lester Harsch of Bartley. The committee was named at the regular meeting of the board at which was also heard a report on the Milford trade school. School Superintendent Lowell Welsh said it would cost about $750,000 during the next 10 years to improve facilities at the school. Morris Jacobs, board president, said: “It’s dis graceful the way it is now.” Jacobs said he thought because of the increased population and demand for more tecnical know ledge today, the Milford school could become “one of the most important in the state.” A committee of the legislature asked the board to present a 10 year program for the school, for informational purposes. The board asked Welsh to “draw up elaborate plans” on proposed re commendations and submit them at a future board meeting. dr * » Education Salaries— The board of education ignored a request of Governor Anderson to hold up giving salary hikes until a study of the question could be made. The board approved salary hikes for administrative person nel ranging from $300 to 500 per year. Commissioner of Education F. B. Decker said the hikes brought the salaries of the personnel into line with other state salaries re quiring similar educational qual ifications. Venus Residents Unhappy Concerning Tom Up Road VENUS— Work was resumed Wednesday, October 12, on the mile stretch of road by the Venus store. This road was torn up five weeks ago. All the fences were taken down, together with the telephone poles and lines to the Venus store. The road equipment was mov ed to near Creighton, leaving the local store without much of a road and no telephone service. This has proven very inconveni ent. People residing in the commun ity are hopeful the job will be completed befoer the snow flies and winter complications set in.
