Minimum Sentence Not Followed LINCOLN—Less than the mini mum sentence for drunken driv ing is being handed down by some courts, according to state house officials. Maurice Jacobsen, head of fi nancial responsibility in the state hignway department, said the mi nimum sentence required by state law is not being followed in all cases. This was confirmed by Atty Gen. C. S. Beck. But both said they had no authority to tell the courts what to do. The minimum sentence is a $100 fine and six months sus pension of a driver’s license. Jacobsen said in the majority of courts the law is being follow ed, especially in the larger cities. I However in some cities drivers are charged under a city ordin ance instead of the state law. Thus, they can get off with a lighter sentence. In some cases, Jacobsen said, where action is brought under state law, the license is not sus pended. In others, he said, the fine is less than $100. Under the point law, a driver loses six points for a conviction on first offense of drunken dri ving. Jacobsen said his office as sesses the points anyway where a violator is fined but his license is not revoked for six months. * * * Power Airing— Plans are laid for a full - scale airing of the Nebraska public power situation before state sen-’ ators in March. The Platte Valley and Loup Ri ver Public Power districts have planned meetings at North Platte on March 14 for western lawmak ers and at Columbus on March 21 for eastern senators. The meetings primarily will be to outline plans of Platte and Loup, according to Platte Mana ger Gerald Gentleman of North Platte ' Said Gentleman: “We want them to have all the information they want on our merger plans, financing procedures, credit, cus tomers, government power and anything else.” Gov. Victor Anderson is to be given all available information on the power situation in advance of the meetings with the legisla tors. Officials have said merger plans being worked out between Platte and Loup will re quire special legislation. The plan under consideration is to consolidate the two districts un der a board of 15 directors. Pre sent law does not provide for such an arrangement. By arranging the-two meetings, the legislature would not have to convene in special session. And they would have all the informa tion on hand for the January con vening of the regular session. * * * State Air Crashes— Pilot error has figured in all the civil airplane fatalities re corded in Nebraska since 1952. That is the report from M. L. Bennett, chief of aviation safety for the state aeronautics depart ment. Bennett said the accidents have killed 31 persons. “We want the public and the pilots to know what the causes of accidents are”, Bennett said. He said a campaign is being waged against fliers who disre gard adverse weather condi tions. Foul weather currently causes the greatest number of air tragedies in Nebraska. At one time, according to Ben nett, “acrobatic fliers” were the number one cause of air fatalities, but better planes and tighter re gulations have alleviated this pro blem. Said Bennett: “The pilot who : insists on flying in bad weather : and who does not know how to j read instruments is the one who causes far and away the most trouble. Bennett said the “most danger- . ous time” in a pilot’s career ap- j pears to be when he has had be tween 200 and 1)00 flying hours. * * * Pilot Study Continues— Sometime in early March a j team of experts will go to the . Beatrice State Home to interview about 140 patients there. This is the second phase of pi- . lot study being made under the : authorization of the board of con- 1 trol and under the supervision of Dr. Cecil Wittson, state mental '<■ health director. 1 The patients are from seven se- \ lected counties. So far, records on i them have been checked for so cial, medical and psychological < histories. < The study is to determine what 1 more is needed m the way of a rehabilitation program to speed cure and release of mentally ill or retarded patients. The study will be undertaken also in the mental hospitals at Hastings, Lincoln and Norfolk. Some of the patients may be taken to the Nebraska Psychitric Institute in Omaha for study and treatment. * * * Federal Money Allocated— Nebraska has been allocated Pupils Get Break When Teacher Weds Classes Dismissed 21/2 Days CELA—There was no school at Celia from Wednesday noon, Feb ruary 8, until the end of the week as the teacher, Miss Lois Adams, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Louis Adams of Spencer, and John Lan gan of O’Neill were married last Thursday morning, February 9, at 9 o’clock, in St. Mary’s Catho lic church in Spencer.
