It was a double-overtime affair with Soph Larry Tomlin son dumping in the winning bas ket in the second overtime, abruptly ending the game be tween two parochial quintets. The house was filled with par tisans and even the water boys were hoarse when the cheering subsided. St. Mary’s frittered away early leads up to as much as 12 points, then dropped behind in the clos ing minutes. Garry Holly and Tomlinson each hit a charity toss to tie up the game, 51-all, and then, with 20 seconds remaining, Frosh Gale Stevens rolled in a rebound to make it 53-51 for St. Mary’s. St. Joe tried a long try from midcourt and in the melee for recovery the Cardinals fouled the Jays’ Henning. After bedlam was reduced to quiet, Mr. Hennings dropped two freethrows that tied it up, 53 - all, ending regula tion playing time. Tomlinson hit a fielder in the first overtime only to be matched by Ries of St. Joe. And that’s where the overtime ended, 55-all. In the sudden death phase, Ste vens and Ries each converted at the freethrow line after a double foul had been called, making it 56-all, with the sudden death bogey still hanging fire. A few moments later Tomlin son, a real comer as only a sopho more, did tlie Frank Memweli stunt’ for SMA and that ended the game. jtsoui ciuoa eugagi-u. ui w** siderable rough-and-tumble.

Gallagher Attorney-at-Law First Nat'l Bank Bldg. O’NEILL -> PHONE 11 State Capitol News Taxes, Schools, Roads Topic LINCOLN—What kind of legis lative session will there be in 1957? Must observers say the session, which convenes at noon on new year's day, will be oneof the most difficult on record. It will be faced with the demand for more services and thus more money on one hand, and whether the people can stand the bill, on the other. Gov. Victor Anderson in recent weeks has set the keynote for the affair—by using such phrases as a hard tack” budget and a "hold the line” approach to spending. The matter of new taxes will be foremost in thinking of senators. Indications are that the perennial sales tax issue, and that of an in come tax, will be taken up. Roads will occupy much time as will regulation of pump well 1 irrigation and school matters. A legislative council committee that studied Nebraska’s tax pro blem for 18 months came up with a recommendation for legis lation to "put teeth" into exist ing laws. In other words, laws to enforce statutes already on the books. The committee took no stand on the matter of a sales tax but this could prove to be one of the hottest issues in the 1957 session. The reason is some senators will be looking for new taxes on the theory that people want more services, need them and want pay the bill. New taxes would ease the burden on the property owner. On the other side of the fence will be the senators who feel that the drought the past two years in the state means that there must be no increased state spending, and no new taxes. State Sen. Frank Nelson of O’ Neill aptly summed up the money problems affecting most of the state agencies. He was widely - quoted last week with this observation: “The legislature can give the state agencies what they need; but can’t always give those agencies what they want.” Road revenue measures will be dumped into the legislative hop per. They are expected mainly to evolve around higher license fees for trucks and cars and a stiffer gasoline and diesel fuel tax. The reason more money is needed, proponents say, is to match increased amounts of fed eral funds. However, probably the farm, trucking and petroleum groups will line up against this proposal using the argument that no more funds are required. There has been increasing at ( tention devoted to tne mailer oi j irrigation, especially in view of I two dry summers in many areas j in the state. Senators probably will delve at length into the matter of requir ing some type of regulation on irrigation wells—probably in the form of a restriction on spacing of them. On the school scene, will be the question of higher standards for teachers and stronger redistrict ing laws. Battle lines have form ed on the matter of redistricting. This opposition is directed against any moves to make redistricting compulsory or to strengthen the state committee by giving it the veto power over local plans. The Nebraska Small Schools as sociation has organized to offset, in part, the powerful education lobby. Progressive-minded edu cators want a K-12 redistricting program, which would force wholesale redistricting without local level consent. • * * Brock In 1858— A matter of top speculation for the 1958 political year will be where Lawrence Brock, unsuc cessful democratic candidate for congress, throws his hat. Brock decided not to contest the outcome of a nip-and-tuck but loosing race with Rep. Ro bert Harrison, republican, in the 'Third congressional district. One thing is certain: Brock is the strong man, as of now, in vote getting ability for the democratic party in Nebraska. Inhere are growing indications Brock may be the party’s can didate for governor. But Brock said he has made no decisions on his political future. Party officials would like to land Brock, a Wakefield farmer, in the senate, but pairing him against Sen. Roman Hruska in 1958 is not to their liking because of the widespread popularity and vote-getting ability Hruska en j joys Instead, party officials have reckoned on possibly putting Brock up against Sen. Carl Curtis in I960, but in the meantime see if Brock can't win the governor’s chair. Governor Anderson, republican i incumbent, meanwhile has not thrown any cold water on any talk that he would be interested m seeking a third term. * • • Tuition Hikes— The matter of tuition at the University of Nebraska is in the j limelight again. A suggestion that the school ! look over its tuition rate came up recently at a budget hearing be ! fore Governor Anderson. Then, Dr D D Welch, retiring I president of Hastings college, said | the university ought to meet its ! money problem partly by increas j mg tuition. He suggested a doub ling of the fees. But, Dr. F. B. Decker, state commissioner of education, said Nebraska should be careful not to price* education at the university out of reach of the average youngsters. A substantial hike. Decker said, would keep many youngsters from going to college at all. * • • Ag Rates Discussed — The matter of putting agricul tural truck shipments under state regulation has been brought be fore the Nebraska railway com mission. A petition was filed by the In dependent Truckers Association of the Midwest, asking the com mission to establish rates for hauling livestock and other agri cultural products — now exempt from rate regulation. In the past, produce companies and other shippers have fought any efforts to bring agricultural shipments under commission jur isdiction. Another part of the petition calls for a new, lower rate for goods hauled by truckers operat ing over irregular routes. Larger truckers probably will oppose this since it would permit irregular route operators to get some busi ness from larger firms. The larger firms must operate on regular schedules over fixed routes.
