State Capitol News . . . Lowest Presidential Vote Since ’12 LINCOLN — Nebraska's pri mary election was unusual in several respects but true to form in others. Probably most significant was the lack of citizens who went to the polls. It was the lowest vote for a presidential peacetime year since 1912. Two contests were in doubt af ter the votes had been counted— unofficially by the two wire news services. They were in the repub lican contest for lieutenant-gov ernor between State Sen. Dwight Burney of Hartington and Carl Swanson of Omaha. Burney was speaker of the last legislature and has been acting lieutenant-governor. Swanson is a former state treasurer. The other contest was between Joseph Benesch and Phil Allen of Omaha for the democratic nomination for congress in the Second district. Officially, the results won't he known until June 4 w^ien the state canvassing hoard meets. It is composed of the governor, secretary of state, auditor, treasurer and attorney general. The board will certify the vote, on the basis of returns made by county canvassing boards. The slowness in counting the vote was a trifle unusual. It was two full days after polls closed Newpapers Remiss? Nebraska newspapers were said to be remiss in their duties in keeping voters informed on candidates, a state senator lias charged. For The Frontier’s answer to that charge, see ed itorial: “Weeklies Remiss in Duties,” on page 2. before the final precinct had re ported its unofficial returns. Ob servers said this may have been because of the large number of persons seeking posts as delegates lo the national conventions of both parties. Running true to form was pop ularity of the Scandinavian names on the ballot. A candidate with a Scandina vian name, Wayne Swanson of Omaha, upset incumbent Railway Commissioner Paul Pettygrove. Fred Sorensen of Omaha ran a close second to Swanson. There were two Scandinavians on the democratic ballot for state treasurer and Richard Larsen was *op man. Scandinavians etiher won or got heavy votes in many other races. Observers said because of the popularity of Scandinavian names, and Swanson's previous experience in state government through appearing on the bal lot. the showing of Burney in the lieutrdant-governor's race was unusual. Burney, however, had been an active and leading member in the Nebraska legislature for more than a decade. Also, Marvin Gris wold of Lincoln—no relation to the late Dwight Griswold—drew a heavy vote, which observers said might have gone to Swanson. * * « Operation Alert— Nebraska will participate in the national “Operation Alert'' exercise to test civil defense pre ; paredness beginning July 20. During the three-day test, the nation will be subject to a theo retical nuclear attack aimed at Important cities and strategic in stallations. Omaha, (in the exercise, will have been presumed to have been hit. This, officials said, will require evacuation of the population. However, for the purpose of the test, the evacuation may be a [ token one. Lincoln will evacuate the courthouse and city hall. The state civil defense system will be mobilized to rush aid to Omaha. Under the plan, all civil defense services will be brought into play on the state level. The state control center in the state house will be manned continuous ly during the exercise. * * * Polio Vaccine— Nebraska’s polio season fast is approaching, L*ut so far the state has been getting a considerable amount of Salk vaccine. Allen Rouse, head of the state polio division, said Nebraska has an excellent chance of getting 75,000 to 80,000 doses of the vac cine during May. So far in May, the state has received 58.410 doses. * * * Itank Call— Nebraska’s economy, predomi nantly agricultural, continues in good shape despite need for more moisture for crops, according to a state banking department spokesman. The spokesman com mented on a report on the 293 state-chartered banks. He said demand deposits in the banks declined $19 million, 398 thousand, during the first quarter of the year. However, this decline in de posits was accompanied by a considerable reduction in loans. The principal liquidation in loans was in the Commodity Credit corporation loans, which decreased from $22,800,000 on December 31, 1955, to $13,000, 000 at the beginning of April. Most of the reduction repre sented wheat loans. Also declining was the amount of U.S. government bonds held bv the banks during the period. The drop was occasioned by the redemption of bonds to meet cus tomers’ withdrawals from their deposits. In a regular report, it was cited as an indication that the state’s farm economy is standing up well that the amount which the state banks loaned on farm land increased only $31,500 during the period. Installment loans, however, showed an increase of $300,000, msotlv on automobiles and in single payment loans for personal expenditures. The report showed the total t esources of the 293 banks amounted to $452 million 751 thousand. Mr. and Mrs. John Osenbaugh and family of Burwell spent ! mother’s day with Mr. and Mrs. I. D.
