THE PLATTSMOUTH, NEBRASKA, SEMI-WEEKLY JOURNAL PAGE FOUR Thursday, December 8, 1949 CAPITOL NEWS (Compiled by Nebraska Press Association) LINCOLN The battle of sev eral small Nebraska towns against loss of railroad service waxed warmer this week "with a request for financial aid from the Nebraska League of Municipalities LIKE WALKING ON PILLOWS D-rScholl's AIR-PILLO INSOLES Mads of Foamed Latex Thousands of Air ColU Cushion Every Step Washable, Odorless Siio into any shoo Ojlc'tly relieves callouses, ten. dn.-is, burning at bottom of fvot.

Lfa fair, only OUl WIDE STYLE FOR MEN'S WORK SHOES 7, Pair, only SHOE STORE X-PERT FITTING In a pamphlet to chambers of commerce, the League pled: "As Governor Peterson has so kforceably emphasized, there is a statewide campaign now be ing conducted by the railroads to curtail service and abandon lines in Nebraska. If this pro gram is allowed to succeed, it will mean lower property values, fewer jobs and a decreased pop ulation in Nebraska". The move by the Chicago & North Western to abandon its 144-mile long Scribner to Oak dale branch brought on the dis pute. Gov. Yal Peterson has vigor ously opposed the application made to the railway commis sion. His home town of Elgin would be without rail service if the request is granted. Peterson sent along a letter with the League pamphlet, in j vhich he pointed out to takin? 15 average counties olf the tax rolls. Meanwhile, the Burlington appealed to the state supreme court from a railway commis sion ruling refusing permission to discontinue two passenger trains between Lincoln and Sioux City. And in a new application, the Burlington asked the commission lor autnoruy 10 discontinue its agency at Heartwell and substi tute a custodian to operate tue station. Nearby Kenesaw and Minden have regular service, the railroad said, and the small volume of busiess at Heartwell does not justify operation cf a full time station. Governor Peterson was sched uled to receive at this week's pardon board meeting a report 'Careful study of the current on cfceck offenders serving time raliroad situation indicates!"1 euiosm umuuuu;. clearly that if the Chicago &The governor had asked State North Western is successful in ! pale Officer Richard Meissner abandoning the Scribner-Oak-dale branch line, that it, and other railroads in the state will immediately petition the inter state commerce commission to aoandon further mileage. "Such abandonments might conceivably leave the entire northern one-third of our state without rail service." The governor ,said granting of the North Western applica tion might bring a similar re quest from the railroad to hdlt service on its Lineoln-Fremom line and from the Chicago, St. Paul, Minneapolis, and Omaha railroad to abandon its Wayne- , t REAULV ,TIDM'T &ET WHAT WAS IT THAT VOL) iAie eporb?; r s 'TIS HARD TO HEAP?

It was generally under stood that Omaha and Lincoln were ,'probably the only two cases involved. Meanwhile, Anderson turned thumbs-down on a proposal of the Nebraska City Chamber ol Commerce tc- raffle off a. car in a drawing held in Iowa, but tickets would be sold in Nebras ka. "The plan is obviously a raf fle similar to that forbidden bj our law", the attorney -general said. Fewer Nebraskans are dying each year from tuberculosis, ac cording to Dr. E. A. Rogers, di rector of the state TB survey division. He credited much of the regular decline to the health department's mobile chest X ray units which have detected many TB cases, which perhaps would have gone unnoticed un til much later treatment. Dr. Rogers says the state has taken about 280,000 free X- rays since its two units began operating. About three out of every 100 persons examined were referred to local doctors, he said. Around the statehouse, there were these other developments: The state game commission asked the federal fish and wild life service for an extra duck season for Nebraska from Dec 10-31. The Christmas season team ed with a tighter federal law to hike November cigaret tax collections to $3oo,2y'J, more than $60,000 over the same month last year. Liquor revenue was up over Oc tober but down from November a year ago. Collected last month was $243,830, compared to S237, 779 for October and $321,852 a year ago. William O. Collett, North Platte banker, turned down the post of state budget director of fered by Governor Peterson. for the roport at the board's November meeting, when a large number of the inmates up for pardon and parole, were check offenders. The governor remark ed that taxpayers are put to heavy expense in providing board and room for this type of offender. Law enforcement agencies had complained that they often act merely as collection agen cies, with business firms dron ing charges as soon as the of fender is picked up and the check made good. Lincoln police produced pho ney checks that wouldn't ft-ol most eighth-graders as evi dence of their contention that most persons who accept no good checks should have known better.. Just when everyouo in ih-? Grand Old Party had agreed that the election of David Mar tin, of Kearney, a state repub lican chairman had come oif without causing any kind of a rift in parly unity, a very no ticeable gap appeared this week Martin offered the post of vice chairman in charge of vet erans and Young Republicans to Max Denney, who was de feated by Martin for the cna:r manship. Denney said no. The young Fairbury city at torney also sa:d no to reporters who asked him to discuss the ofier. There were a couple of new developments on the anil-gam-biing front this week. Attorncv General James Anderson, an nounced that in co-operation wih the Iowa Attorney-Generil. his staif had dried up telegraph wire5: feeding race informa:ijn to bookies in the state. "What has happened has come ai a resulc cf our investigation' Anderson said. "We've be;i working on it fcr a long timj.
