By MELVIN PAUL
Statehouse Correspondent
LINCOLN — Whenever Sen.
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.

was in agreement with him that
budget requests should be based
on need, rather than on existing
revenues. 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.”

Notes of Interest
Members of the Northside
Church of God at 23rd and T
held a meeting at the church
Sunday to consider plans for re
modeling.
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.
Hours: 4 to 6 P.M. Silver Offer
