THE PLATTSMOUTH, NEBRASKA, SEMI-WEEKLY JOURNAL PAGE EIGHT Monday, June 13, 1955 Chief, Two Officers Quit Police Force Amid Hot Shouting (Continued from page one) At one point in the v.'ild talk. Chappell told Meisineer, "I'll still be living in Plattsmouth and I'll eet even with you." Council members tried to bridge the e-ap between the mavor and officers but found it useless. Most of the council members were surprised at the situation rind as one of them said, "I thought the nolice were doing a fine job. After giving them a raise I thoucht we had that taken care of for a while." Other members said they thought, the police wrere doine a eood job. At the last official meeting, the council raised the mimum falary for officers to $285 and that of the chief to $310. Plattsmouth Thursday night was left with but one policeman. He was Wayne Schneider who joined the force about two weeks aeo when Raymond Ham auit. Schneider reported for work Thursdav nieht and carripd the night job alone throueh the weekend. John Hobscheidt, who resigned from the force earlier this year, returned to take the day job. By Saturday, Meising . er had appointed him chief of police on a temnorary basis. ChaDpell and Winn announced following the meeting that they intended to eet signers to a pe tition to oust Meisinger from the mayor nost. But that hasn't materialized yet. -Meisinger told the Journal that he had seen the breakup comine for sometime bnt that he had "kept it inside himself" and could understand how the council might be surprised when it did hapDen. He said he also understood how councilmen might believe the - police were doing a good iob, because in some respects they were. "I know I'm hard to work for, Meisinger said, "because I'm particular and I want to do things as close to right as I can." Chappell and Winn said he was abusive about directing them. Meisinger's term as Platts mouth mayor has been full of antagonism between himself and the council earlier and row with the police force for which he is responsible. Since he took of fice on May 1, 1954. Meisinger changed the entire force of of ficers, with former chief Ken neth Dunlap leaving this sDring. Now they are changed again. Earlier press reports ouoted ChapDell as savins: Meisinger thought more of the parking meters than catching drunken drivers. Meisinger said he mere ly told them to take care of Plattsmouth first, and if they saw a drunken driver coming through the city, to get him but not wait on the highway until one came along. The complaints and charges by both the mayor and police were numerous and some coun cil members thought too petty to cause such a fuss. But they could dig no greater cause out of the participants. The council took no clear stand during the unofficial meeting and fracas.

The court has ruled on the matter of constitutionality. There can be no recourse in the who do not agree with the de cision; the order will have to be obeyed or circumvented. Fla grant disregard of the order probably cannot stand up over the long term. Though the court's order car ries with it the implied threat of force to back it up, as do all court orders, the widespread use of punitive power will probably be avoided in the next few years. Some cases might arise where nunitive powers are utilized, but lower courts will, in all probabil ity, be patient in initial efforts to work out something in school systems to satisfy all. The problem which is most difficult is to be found in com- 101 Attend Kunz Family Reunion Meet ASHLAND The annual Kunz family reunion was held Memor ial Day at the Orville Lenz home.

The 1956 Reunion to be held on Memorial Day at the E. TJ. B. Church basement, and Horatio Erskine family, hosts. munities where the vast majori ty, often of both races, prefer separate schools. As with pro hibition, a law or a court order does not automatically make people change their minds. And the real problem involv-. ed in the integration order is that in many, many communi ties the majority the great majority does not want inte gration, against strong majority sentiment, are likely to produce a most complicated problem for federal district judees. In many other communities, the majority either is indiffer ent or prefers integration, and in these cases, integration will be soon accomplished. Generally speaking, if the white race is the heavy majority race, the problem is not as critcal as where the white race is the min ority race. But whatever the proportions, the court has finally ruled on the method to be used in effect ing integration. A great process is now beginning, in the schools and in the courts. No oe can foresee the immediate results, but the problems are many in deed, at the outset. On Cruise I 1 Midshipman James Burr Davis, only son of Mr. and Mrs. -Burr R.

KARR & SOCHOR Auditors & Accountants Audits Income Tax Service Bookkeeping Systems Installed Yh. 6287 Doirat Buildintr Legislative SIDELIGHTS . . by BERNIE CAMP Information Director--Nebraska Farm Bureau Federation Should you be Tempted Many legislators returning home are going to experience the attitude from constituents,, expressed or unexpressed: "What did you do about solving some of the real problems of state government?" Maybe this is a good time for the legislator to reply: "What would you have done if you'd been down there?" But he won't. Let's take a look at what your legislator has had to contend with in Lincoln. He's expected to read, study and know what's in between 500 and 600 bills. Some of these bills are simple and minor corrections of statutes, but the others are complicated pamphlets dealing with matters such as school fi nance; school. district reorganiz ation; road arid highway financ ing; budgets for the University of Nebraska, the state normal schools, the board of control in stitutions; revenue from taxa tion to meet the budgets. These bills come in every sort of guise, from the simple one paragraph bill to the highly complicated volume of 75 to 100 pages and with their own. in built dictionaries of definition so that the Legislators know what they are talking about. It isn't exactly a job loaded with fun. He's expected to entertain constituents when they come to Lincoln whether he s in the mood or not. Most important, ne s expected to appropriate suf ficient funds to operate govern ment and maybe give" a little extra service; but he's not sup posed to hit taxpayers in the pocketbook with any increase in property taxes or new forms of taxation. I He would love to get letters from home during the session to tell him how you fell about is sues, but when he needs advice most his constituents forget him. Then he comes home and you criticize him for getting nothing done. Maybe the most surprising thing is that the legislature gets as much done as it does. As citizens and taxpayers we expect miracles, but any time anv one of us thinks he can do a better job, than the fellow who is your legislator now, I am cer tain he would gladly have you run for the job come the next election.
