CAPITOL NEWS LINCOLN The liquor com mission stole the week's head lines away from the legislature. These were the day-by-day developments: Monday Marcus Poteet, com mission chairman, said that Omaha and northeast Nebraska were the "territory'', of Commis sioner Blaine Young of Omaha and the other commissioners had no authority there. Young denied this. Tuesday Gov Val Peterson called in the three commission ers to knock their heads to gether. He told them to "stop this unseemly bickering" and they meekly agreed. Wednesday The commission started looking for a law en forcement chief, following the governor's order to hire one im mediately. In the meantime, he assigned Lt. L. E. Schottler of the safety patrol to the job for 30 days. Thursday This was a big day. Attorney General C. S. Beck ruled that one-ball machines and pinball machines which yield free games were illegal gambling devices. Charges have been made of "payoffs" by Om aha tavern operators to protect one-ball machines. Sen. Hugh Carson of Ord, who is responsi ble for the probe of the liquor commission, demanded that the members be suspended pending the outcome of the investigation. The governor said he couldn't do that as a matter of "fair play." Then Carson suggested that the legislature impeach the commissioners. Friday Commenting cn a proposed bill by Senator Carson overhauling the organization of the commission. Governor Pe terson said a law enforcement officer could accomplish the same thing as a department di rector, as proposed by Carson. But, said Peterson, he was will ing to study Carson's proposal on its merits. At the same press conference, the governor an nounced that he would ask the legislature this week to approve a bill to provide for automatic suspensions of the license of es tablishments convicted of em ploying gambling devices. Amid these goings-on. the spe- ! cial legislative probe committee. 1 headed by Sen. Ray Babcock of Sidney held two hearings, be hind locked doors. At the first one, the group heard Edward A. Trask of Oma ha, a former special agent for the commission. Trask has said that he reported a number of violators who permitted gam bling on one-balls in their tav erns with cash payoffs to com mission agents. At the second hearing, Poteet repeated unGer oath charges he had made earlier about commis sion dissension. Poteet said he toid about how he cast the only dissenting vote when the other two commissioners, Young and Nathan Pont of Omaha, decided almost two years ago to over ride an attorney general's opin ion that liquor licensees are not allowed to deliver liquor ?which has not already been paid for. Also testifying was Dr. F. E. Zigenbein, former Nebraska City mayor who reportedly described an illicit wholesaler-retailer re lation there. Not all the probe news was made by Babcock's committee. At the same time it was con ducting hearings, another spe- meeting across the capitol: Sen. W. J. Williams' group to study ance department. If the first meeting was an indication of things to come there will be a lot of charges and counter charges between the state agency and the coun ty welfare departments.. Some of the most vocal critics of the state aid department have been county directors. Douglas County Chief Phil Vogt, for in- stance, has called the state set up "lousy." Neil C. Vandemoer said that many county offices are over staffed, but denied he had too many employes. Sen. John Beaver of Beemer asked who was responsible for the over-staffing. Vandemoer answered: "The county boards and the county directors. If there are too many employes, the county boards are at fault. They hire and they fire. Some county board members are not willing to put in the time to supervise closely." Williams set the next meeting with Vandemoer and the board of control members for this week. Other highlights of the week in the legislature: Senator Williams apologized to his colleagues for storming from a committee hearing. "It's never intelligent to lose one's temper," Williams said, "but there are times when the cir cumstances become almost un bearable." Then Williams read a two-page statement in which he Questioned the value of the legislative council. He com plained that some senators are unwilling to support bills which they helped to create by their participating in legislative coun cil studies. Sen. John Adams of Omaha, only Negro member of the leg islature, failed, despite an im passioned plea lasting 30 min utes, to get enough votes to raise his fair employment prac tices bill, killed earlier by the labor committee. Sen. Jack Larkin of Omaha, was unsuccessful in his second attempt to kill the public hous ing referendum bill after a spir ited debate with Sen. John P. MeKnight of Auburn, intro ducer of the measure. Sen. Dwight Burney's bill to provide ten more highway &cales to enforce overloading laws passed its first test on the floor. FIRE BLIGHT CONTROL SUGGESTIONS Best ways at present to con trol fire blight in the apple and pear crop is to prune out in fected branches and cut down on the tree's rate of growth. That's the word from Dr. Wil liam Allington, head of the Uni versity of Nebraska's plant pa thology department. Fire blight. ne says, seems to be greater where there is abundant fertil ity in the soil. He suggests planting grass around trees in order to tie up part of the ni trogen supply. He warns that the growth of the tree should not become too lush. When tools are used for prun ing diseased trees, says Dr. Al lington, they should be disin-- fee ted before using on healthy trees in order to prevent spread of fire blight.
