Joseph Wishart, for ten years treasurer and finance chairman of the republican par ty in Nebraska, turned in his resignation, "for the best inter fpts of the party". Wishart. who had done won ders for G. O. P. finances in Nebraska, said he wasn't "mad at anybody", but it's common knowledge he was miffed at the treatment handed him when the state central committee chose David Martin of Kearney, a.', the new Nebraska chairman. Last week. Martin, who was left in quite a hole by the res ignation of Wishart, appealed to the Lincoln lawyer to recon sider his action. Wishart, politely, but firmly, said no. Dfleeate.s to the 57th annual State Irrigation Association con vention at Grand Island last week were told that lower Platte river basins plan may never materialize unless citizens of Nebraska decide to share river waters among rival valeys and rtgulate unlimited groundwater pumping. The speaker was Paul I. Har ley. area engineer who contin ued: "Much remains to be done on the lower Platte basin plan. Ne braskans must decide whether the. waters originating within a river valley or basin should be devoted exclusively to use mittee. And still no successor had been named. L. J.

State Engineer F. H. Klietsch said that the time had come for new legislation to regulate ground water use. Dr. George Condra, of Lin coln, president, of the associa tion, urged cooperation "among all those interested in irrigating Nebraska" to complete the over all prosram started by the group over 50 years ago. Meanwhile. Gov. Val Teter son urged the Nebraska Re sources Committee to "move immediately to assume effect ive leadership" in using the state's water resources. The governor said many groups have many ideas about water use. "I want the com mittee to coordinate these ac tivities and act as a clearing house for Nebraska water prob I lems. ' In a letter to Agriculture Di rector Rufus Howard, who is chairman of the committee. realized only too well that the whole resources division setup with its $100,000 appropriation for the biennium, may fall un der legislative attack next ses sion, despite Gov. Peterson's stubborn defense of it. The committee knows thatN unless they get a good man and fast who can do n big enough job to allay criticism, it's going to be rough sledding when the next legislature meets. Statehouse rumors was that i'the salary ($5,200 for Dowling had been upped to $7,500 or $3,000 and that the new man could write his own ticket about his staff, activities, etc. But at the week's end, Bible was still in charge. General Dwiaht D. Eisen hower was invited last w.ek to address the Republican Found ers day in Lincoln early next year, but the chances of his accepting appeared pretty slim. There was no word from the the national recognition given the state's "all star" primary last year. Names of all presidential can didates, announced or potential, were filed by a bipartisan com mittee, chalrmanned by Ray mond A. McConnell. jr., editor of the Lincoln Journal. Eisen hower's name was withdrawn when the general said he . would not accept the nomination if it were offered.

The governor said thers is much fertile land in the state without the water Nebraska could supply. What is lacking, according to the governor, is agreement on this method of utilization. Peterson said he wants the group to study the problem, and eicise its leadership to solve it. Which, as one observer point ed out. was simply tossing in to the lap of the resources com mittee the hot potato of di- within that area, or whether version which legislatures have withni that area, or whether! been juggling for some time. it is to the greater interest of the state to use surplus sup- And that wasn't all 'the trou- Petcrsoir said the problems are j great man himself, but his sec retary at Columbia university in New York, said Ike would "not attend any political rally, republican or democrat". Later, without mentioning the Found er's day invitation, Eisenhower said: "I have no political ambi tions and don't wany any con nection with politics". Republican leaders in Lincoln i thought Eisenhower's acceptance might have indicated his will ingness to accept the GOP's presidential nomination in 1952.
