Terry Carpenter of Scottsbluff rises to speak, the galleries fill! almost magically, and the arm-' I waving freshman never fails to disappoint them. Don’t ask me how, but the word gets around the Statehouse office that “Terry’s talking!” and the state’s business just has to wait while enthralled Employees watch him declaim. Last week his target was Gov.. Robert B. Crosby and specifically | the “political grandstanding” the governor employed in submitting, his budget to the Legislature. Carpenter, who several days ago i proposed that the Legislature passj I Crosby’s budget and quit in am effort to shock Nebraskans into what he considers a better appre ciation of the Legislature’s abili ties, this time teed off on Crosby’s budget recommendations for the State Highway Department. He recalled that in the gover nor’s message to the Legislature, he saw the role of state govern ment in these times as one of restraint and that he had proposed ' the State Highway Department ! spend about $12 million less than in the past two years. Crosby had said in that mes sage that some might accuse him of grandstanding. “If that’s not political grandstanding, then I never saw anything that was,” Carpenter said. The Scottsbluff senator found that State Engineer Harold Aitken^ is being given a chance to make, the grade as a member of the; Chicago Whitf Sox pitching staff. Johnson holds the Western League record for most strikeouts in one season. Johnson broke the record formerly held by Bobby Shantz. Gene Baker, first Negro to play in the Western League, is getting a crack at the shortstop position with the Chicago Cubs. Baker went from Des Moines to Los Angeles, where he has per formed brilliantly during the past two seasons. | According to those in the know, Mrs. Robert L. Vann, publisher of the PITTSBURGH COURIER, will be the first Negro to be named to an important post by President Eisenhower. Mrs. Vann is slated to be the ambassador to j Haiti. •I ■ ; Nurses’ Aid—Wanted Lincoln General Hospital j1 Woman 21-35 to work as a Nurse's Aid. Kvpertence preferred but not necessary.

Crosby’s budget was based on the latter. “How,” Carpenter demanded, “can we get the picture when one part of the government nullifies (another part by inflicting a po litical approach to the problem?” Gov. Crosby wasted no time in firing back. Newsmen • hurried from the Legislative Chamber to the Executive Suite. Crosby had not heard Caipenter’s attack but his administrative assistant, Max Denney, had. In one of his rare moments of annoyance, Crosby still weighed his words carefully and said: “To ignore the earnest discus sion of highways in my inaugural message and to ignore the entire, promise of my budget message are useful strategems in political de bate. “The effort to distort both mes sages is deliberate. j “In the introductory part of myj budget message I said plainly,, ‘This message deals with a dis cussion of the more important de-1 partures from the general fund recommendations in Gov. Peter- j son’s budget.’ “For emphasis I repeated that what I would discuss in the| budget message were ‘what must| be appropriated from the general fund.’ I especially excluded dis cussion of cash funds. Anyone familiar with Nebraska’s budget procedures knows that highways are not constructed or maintained through general fund appropria tions. “There was no occasion in the budget message to discuss high-; way funds because present Ne braska laws gave me no oppor^ tunity to recommend an increased! amount. My budget recommended the same as Gov. Peterson’s budget for road maintenance and con struction. “A considerable part of my inaugural message on Jan. 8 was devoted to the highway problem. I said it was ‘an acute problem’ and departed from the text to say that was an understatement. I told the Legislature that I regarded it to be a fact that any substantial improvement on highways would require more funds than now available.” Over 30 to Choose From Many Are 1-Owner Cars See Them At 1641 “O” St. 2-3050 Ask for RIP or GENE RIP VAN WINKLE USED CARS Jess Williams i Spring Service 2215 O Street Lincoln 8, Nebraska Phone 2-3633 WOMEN WANTED i Address and mail postals.

The meeting included 10-minute sermonettes and discussions of fi nances for the remodeling. The remodeling plans include enlargement of the building, in stallation of a gas furnace and water service and construction of a washroom. Elder Paul Hammond of Junc tion City, Kansas, serves the church. Nebraska may need to dip into the 19-year-old age group to meet its draft quota during the next few months, Col. Frank B. O’Connell of the state selective office said last week. Col. O’Connell said the April call for the state is 597, compared to 530 in March and 542 in Febru ary. He said the office has been directed to fill the quota with men of 20 year^ and above if possible, but if necessary to take some 19-year-olds. There will be more 20-year-olds available when the spring term of school ends, O’Connell said, but some 19-year-olds may be called until that time. The' April calL compares with approximately 400 men called to the service for the same month last year. There will be a Silver Tea on Sunday, March 8th, at the home of Mrs. Cordelia Walker, 2200 Dud ley, given by the United Church Women’s Kensington Club. Everyone is cordially invited.
