SPENCER— More News elsewhere Capitol News - License Plates May Show Safe Unsafe Drivers By Melvin Paul Statehouse Correspondent The Nebraska Press Association License Plates LINCOLN—A drastic proposal to denote safe and unsafe drivers got a surprisingly favorable reception before a committee of state sen ators. Col. Thomas Corbin, commander of an air division at the Lincoln Air Force Base, proposed the idea. He said blue plates could de note safe drivers, red for those con victed of a traffic offense and black and red for a driver convict ed of an offense in an accident in Which someone was killed. Corbin suggested that (Mice a blue plate is lost for a violation, it should take a year to regain it with the motorist having a red one on his car in the meantime. The Colonel said his plan was based on three factors- identifica tion of the drivers., rewardmg safe motorists and penalising unsafe ones. Corbin guessed that deaths caused by traffic v aviations could be cut by a fourth through use of the mufti-colored license plates. Sen. Joe T. Vosoha of Wilber, chairman of the legislative com mittee on traffic safety, said he felt the basic principle of the pro posal was sound. However, the committee did not take any immediate action on the plan which could be extremely controversial if it ever hit tlie floor of the Legislature in Uie form of proposed legislation. The committee got other recom mendations. too. .Alvin Scissors, director of the State Motor Vehicle Department, said there should be compulsory driver re-examination for all mot orists every four years, a $1 hike in the cost of driving licenses, and a $2 boost in tlie cost of license plates. Scissors also called for issuance of drivers licenses, motor vehicle registrations aid titles from the state house. Aid the director touched on ami ther controversial subject—removal of the slogan "Beef State” for li cense plates. He said the plates were meant to be a means of iden tifying a motor vehicle, not "as an advertising feature." New Faces There will be some new faces in the Legislature when it convenes this coming January. But Hugo Srb, Clerk of the Uni cameral, says there always is about a third of the membership new when the lieutenant governor raps tlie gavel for the start of each session. One of the noteworthy things, however, is tlvat chairmen of key committees of the body will not be on hand for the 1961 session. Heads of budget, revenue, judic iary, government and miscellaneous subjects committees will not be around, nor will Sen. Harry Pizer of North Platte, last session’s speaker, who retired from politics. The absence of these key chair men will require some careful work in the early days of the coming session to get top senators to fiU the posts. An all important position will be the budget committee and possibly the revenue group. Budget recoin mends spending. and revenue, leg islation that will produce the mon ey. .... The problem of a bnx'ufc'ixxi tax base will again be upon the Ions ami will make the task of the txidgct and revenue committees more exacting. There are a variety of reason* for the legislative tunxiver-^low pay, king hours, heavy pressure ami on some occasions a salon gets into political trouble in Ins home district, falling by the wayside at the polls. And for the second straight ses sion there will be a new govern, >r for the Legislature to deal with which could present problems Probation System The state's probation system is working well, a legislative commit tee has been told. The diagnosis came from District Judges Paul White of Lincoln ami Fay Pollock of Stanton. They told a committee studying the penal luxi parole systems that 1,383 persons were put on proba tion in Nebraska bust year and only 100 violated parole. White told the group that the probation system could work if it were not for investigations made before sentences are passed by judges. Employees State Resources Chief David Oa terhout says that Nebraska ranked first among 10 midland and south ern states in the number of em ployes in manfacturing from 1954 57. Osterhout said figures were com piled by the U. S. Department of Commerce and show that Nebras ka is not as “bad off” a* some reports would make it seem. The Cornhusker state gained from 60,290 in 1954 to 66,732 in 1957, Osterhout reported. Tlie State Resources Division, an agency of state government which Osterhout heads, is charged with attracting new industry to Nebras ka.
