Interstate Highway, University
Under Discussion at State House
By Melvin Paul
State boo so Correspondent
The Nebraska Press AssocLU.1 on
LINCOLN The Interstate High
way is getting some attention in
the Legislature. One bill introduc
ed would prohibit farm equip
ment, funeral processions, bicy
cles and hitchhikers from using
the super highway. This proposal
was offered by Sens. Joe Vosoba
of Wilber, Hal Bridenbaugh of
Dakota City, Peter Claussen of
Leigh, Marvin Lautenschlager of
Grand Island and Lewis Webb of
Ogallala.
A companion measure by the
same senators would set up a
minimjm speed limit of 40 miles
per hour on the highway, which
is taking shape across Nebraska
farmland The same senators al
so want the speed laws that ap
ply to the regular highway sys
tem to be in effect on the Inter
state also. That would be 65
miles per hour at day, 55 miles
per hour at night.
The four lawmakers also toss
ed a measure into the legislative
hopper to permit trucks and ve
hicles towing trailers to go as
fast as other vehicles. Now, they
are limited to 50 miles per hour.
By July 4 the highway depart
ment expects the Interstate route
between Lincoln and Omaha to
be completed and open all the
way to traffic. Work also is get
ting underway in the Grand Is
land area.
Another bill affecting the In
terstate was proposed by Sen.
Michael Russillo of Omaha. It
would prohibit billboards along
the immediate right of the high
way.
University Nebraska.
There are indications of con
siderabe discussion in the Legis
lature involving the University of
Nebraska. Most of this will re
volve around budget recommen
dations for the school for the
1961—63 period which starts in
July.
One senator, Marvin Lauten
schlager of Grand Island, wants
to double the size of the school’s
board of regents. This would re
quire a constitutional amend
ment. Lautenschlager wants 12
regents instead of the current
six. He says a larger board would
enable members to split into com
mittees which could specialize in
specific areas of the University.
Added the senator: “I think it
would be quite beneficial to both
the University and the people of
our state to have more people
coming from the state to the gov
erning body of the University,
bringing the thinking of the peo
ple of our state to that institut
ion.”
On the matter of the budget,
Lautenschlager and Sen. William
Moulton of Omaha, both members
of the budget committee, oppose
the money recommended for the
University by Gov. Frank Mor
rison. The budget committee
makes its own recommendations,
independent of the governor, for
all state agencies.
Morrison suggests the Univer
sity get $30.1 million in tax dollars
for the 1981-63 period, about 16.7
per cent more than the current
allocation of $25 million.
Morrison called for spending of
$82.6 million in tax dollars for all
agencies for the next two years,
comparing with the $76.6 million
appropriated from tax funds for
state government by the 1959 Le
gislature.
Board of Health
Dr. Maurice Frazer has been
re-elected chairman of the State
Board of Health and Dr. W. Wal
lace Webster, also of Lincoln, re
named vice chairman. The board
declined to sponsor legislation
that would call for licensing of

cleaners of septic tanks.
State Sanitation Engineer T. A.
Filipi said there were as many
as 50 of that type of operators in
Nebraska and the board was told
licensing would be additional
work for the staff which already
is burdened.
Meanwhile, in the Legislature,
a bill was introduced by Sens.
William Moulton of Omaha and
Theodore McCosh of Gering to
create a State Board of Regis
tration for sanitarians.
Committee Hearings
The Legislature has begun to
roll on public hearings of bills
by standing committee. This will
consume afternoons five days a
week through probably May.
Indications are now that many
senators feel there will be less
bills introduced this session, but
that many are more controversial
in nature and thus the length of
the session would not be short
ened.
Some of the controversial hear
ings probably will run as much as
four hours in length. Every bill
introduced in the Unicameral is
given a public hearing except in
rare cases when 29 senators agree
this is not necessary.
Public hearings allow the so
lons to get views of those for and
against legislation and weigh hea
vily in what recommendation
comes from a committee. After
a public hearing committee mem
bers huddle in executive session
and decide whether to send a
bill to the floor for debate or kill
it.
Newsmen may attend the ex
ecutive sessions and report the
total vote but not the discussion
or how individual senators vote
on a bill .

There are excellent reasons why the 1961 Cadillac so
completely dominates the highways of America. The
finest Cadillac in a long and distinguished history, it is
a motor car which reflects an authority unchallenged by
any rival. Stately . . . majestic . . . masterful. . . these are
words which convey some small measure of the manner
in which it takes command of the road and wins the
unstinting acclaim of those who drive or ride in it. Your
Cadillac dealer cordially invites you to enjoy a mem
orable demonstration drive at your earliest convenience.
