Wimberly Quitting Surprises LINCOLN — Some observers have wondered what was behind the sudden resignation of M. L. Wimberley as superintendent of the men’s reformatory here. Wimberley threw in the towel after 71 days at the institution. He previously had been 28 years at the Kearney boys’ training school, the last five as superin tendent. A quiet, soft-spoken man, Wim berley would say only: "I just didn’t like the work.” Others however, said he quit reluctantly for a number of reas ons, including difficulties with the board of control and prob lems at the reformatory left over from the regime of George Mor ris. Wimberley said he did not apply for the reformatory job, but was asked to take it by the board. This the board confirm ed. The 49 - year - old Wimberley sent a letter of resignation to the board three days before his resig nation was announced. In the meantime, the board conferred with a legislative committee studying the board of control sys tem of managing state institu tions. Sen. Donald McGinley of Og allala, committee chairman, promptly said the board had withheld information from his group in that it was not informed of the resignation. But Board Chairman Thomas Dredla said the committee was not informed because Wimberley twice before had said he would quit but changed his mind be cause of talks with the board. In a statement, the board said it had not made public the letter which was not a “definite resig nation” in view of the fact that Wimberley had 28 years of valu able service to the state and we wanted to make another effort to keep him.” A few hours after Wimberley assumed command of the re formatory he had two inmate revolts, causing $35,000 dam age. j The board named Sgt. Robert Nichols, 31, head of the state safety patrol criminal laboratory, , as newchief of the reformatory. Nichols said he took the job be cause “ever since I started on criminal investigation, I’ve been interested in penal work. There’s a lot that can be done in rehabil itation.” Nichols is the third superinten dent at the reformatory since September. He formerly was in a Gordon pharmacy. Nichols as sisted in the Chet Calkins murder investigation at O’Neill several years ago. * * * Blind School— The board of control has had more to say about the state school for blind at Nebraska City. The board said plans for re constructing the school have not been drawn but that the work would be done. Some opponents of keeping the school at Nebraska City, a fight that developed in the 1955 legis lature, said they do not believe the lawmakers set the site of the school at Nebraska City. But the board said the legislature, by kill ing three bills, did not call for the school to be moved. And it said a legislative resolution called for improvements at the school. The board has $600,000 it can use for fixing up the old school, i * * * Prison Attitudes Favorable— Warden Joseph Bovey of the state prison got some kind words from Dr. James Reinhardt, Uni versity of Nebraska criminologist. Reinhardt was a member of former Gov. Robert Crosby’s three-man committee which in vestigated state penal institutions. The group severely criticized the penitentiary in its 1954 report. Reinhardt said he had visited the Nebraska prison and said Bovey is “really studying the problem and trying to make a good prison.” The criminologist said he is very favorably impress ed” with attitudes of men and guards at the prison. The criminologist said he noted an improvement in the attitude and efficiency of employes. ft. * * * Drivei^Point Law— If you drive a car you could well watch the points you are collecting by violating the law if you have done so. That’s the word of advice from Dale Rogers, chief of the state motor vehicle division. Rogers said in the two months since a legal loophole in the point law has been closed, more *han 150 drivers licenses have been suspended for a year. Suspension follows accumula tion of 12 points. Rogers estimates before the next session of the legislature about 2,000 Nebraska drivers will have lost their licens es. # * * Heart Death Leads— Heart disease continues to be the main cause of death in Ne braska. Reports prepared by the state bureau of vital statistics show 2,344 persons died in Nebraska the first six months of this year from the disease. Ranking second was cancer, j with 1,019 deaths. The total num ber of persons who died was 6, 172. But the bureau said during the same period, there were 15,896 births. * * • No Segregation— There is no segregation in the Nebraska national guard, accord ing to Maj.-Gen. Guy N. Hennin ger, state adjutant general. Henninger was asked for com ment on an order by Maryland Gov. Theodore R. McKeldin, abolishing segregation in that state’s national guard. The Nebraska general said state law indicates there be no segregation. He said there are several units whose personnel is made up of more than one race. Social Security Man Coming— Harold F.

McCARVI LLES CLOTHING: SHOES for the Family ‘Constructive’ Mail Sent by Farmers U.S. Sen. Carl T. Curtis (R. Nebr.) said Wednesday he is re ceiving a considerable volume of mail from working farmers which will be very helpful ini weighing proposals for new farm legislation.” Curtis remarked, “sound think ing farmers can contribute the most toward an overhaul of our farm program. They have prac tical experience to lend to new objectives in agriculture and will not be mislead by theorists who learned their agricultural eco nomics in Detroit or Manhattan.” Curtis reported that most of his mail from farmers reflects a “constructive attitude”. He said that the interest of most farmers writing him goes beyond the is sue of flexible vs. rigid price supports. For example, one farmer ex pressed himself as follows: “Let the farmer use his culti vated acres, which would include all acres in alfalfa, sweet clover, brome, lespedeza, or any other soil-building practice, in his base acres for his farm. “In areas where wheat, com, cotton, potatoes or any other crop that is going to be handled by al lotted acres be raised to conform with their practices. “Also the acres that the farmer has reduced from his normal practice be paid for by the gov ernment, and that he be permit ted to raise soil-building crops.
