In the statement, issued after for mal adjournment of the committee's hearing, Senator Nye expressed "amazement" over Mrs. McCormick's admission that she had employed de tectives to investigate activities ot the committee. He continued: " 'What is Nye going to do about it?' is a question contained in the confession by the candidate.

A proposal to harness waste waters that come down the Platte river each spring and are lost to Nebraska insofar as irri gation is considered, has the full sup port of Congressman Fred E. John son of Hastings, a member of the congressional irrigation committee, Prof. Clark E. Mickey of the uni versity college of engineering, said today. Mickey returned this week from a tour of the area covered in his plan to construct storage reservoirs and dams between North Platte and Lex ington, upon which he was accom panied by the Nebraska solon. The professor, named by Governcr Weaver to conduct a reconnaisance, has submitted sketches and plans to government engineers at their dis trict office in Kansas City. These engineers have already con ducted a preliminary survey of the district and may recommend charges in Mickey's plan before it is submit ted to the legislature next January, the latter said today. Congressman Johnson, Mickey add ed, is thoroughly in sympathy with the proposal, having visited tenta tive sites northwest of Lexington as well as following the route of the Platte with him into Wyoming.

Intensive campaigns are now being conducted throughout the nation to make the public highways safe for careful, competent and responsible motorists, and to banish the danger presented to life and property by the reckless. It is to be hoped that the cam paigns will be successful. But In the meantime, the careful motorists can themselves do much to lower the ac cident toll bv expecting the other driver to do something dangerous In the words of Charles F. Ketter ing, Vive-President, General Motors Research Corporation, "It has been my experience in a great many years of driving that if you will consider the other fellow is likely to do some thing which he may not do, it is a gieat safety factor. I believe that we should always ba upon the look out and expect that somebody will come out of every blind alley and make the wrong turn because if we are assuming that, we are always on the alert and know just exactly how to stop and when to stop. This is sage advice. When assum ing all other drivers are capable, the most conDetent and careful driver Is often powerless to avert an acci dent. And. when lives and property are destroyed, the blame is of only secondary importance. Every state should do Its best to formulate modern, enforceable and adequate traffic laws that will pro tect the careful and punish and eli minate the reckless. But until Utop ian highway conditions arrive, we should all be pessimistic of the other fellow's ability at the wheel. 1 Phone your Want Ad to No. 6.
