The topic was opened to de bate when Oavernor Morrison submitted for senatorial con firmation the names of six per sons for service on the state edu cational television commission. The arguing In the legislature was over the Intent of a bill passed by the regular session earlier this year. The Omaha fenators and several others said that under a bill enacted, the lawmakers Intended to give O maha top priority for an educa tional television station. The ETV commission helped trigger the controversy when U voted to move the Univcnity of Nebraska's ETV station, KUOJ TV from Lincoln to Mead and then to set up a second station at Lexington. The reasoning wis that the Mead facility could serve both Omaha and Lincoln, thus freeing funds for construc tion in outstate areas. The Omaha senators said a station at Mead would not work out satisfactorily for Omaha and that It would be better to leave KUON-TV at Lincoln, give Oma ha Its own station, and then construct one, or possibly two, stations In outstate areas. The regular session appropri ated $600,000 to get started on an ETV network which event ually will cover the state. The total cost of the project has been estimated at $3 to $5 million. The legislature voted against the wishes of the Omaha sena tors amidst threats and predic-tl-ns that the matter would be taken to court. Sen. Terry Car penter of Scottsbluff said If the matter Is taken to court, It will be many months before ETV commission can proceed with Its present plans. An effort was made to table confirmation of the ETV com mission members until the rcgu- PUBLIC AUCTION State Of Nebraska SURPLUS AUTOS Saturday, Nov. 30 U A.M.

Sam Klaver of Omaha,' who fought vigorously for Oma-' ha's side In the argument, Is' chairman of an Interim com mittee which will study ETV pri or to the 1965 session. ; During the extended arguing, Carpenter said It was knowm in the last session the state might wind up without an ETV law un less dllferences between Omaha and Lincoln were worked out. He added there Is a possibility too that "if you don't give Omaha what It has a right to expect," 'this might be remembered In the future when there could be a shift in the legislature's bal ance of power. Finance Legislation Governor Morrison has signed Into law three retroactive, pen-alty-reduclr.g finance bills pass ed by the legislature. While so doing he observed there is a "very interesting con stitutional" question Involved in the measures. The attorney general has i warned that the three bills are probably unconstitutional. How- ever, Morrison, a lawyer, said he ' felt he would be "remLss" in his !duty as governor If he did not I sign them. I He explained that the bills "are intended to correct the seri ous result of the 1959 Installment sales act being declared uncon stitutional. The legislature should be allowed the preroga tive of correcting this serious result." When the state supreme court held the 1959 act Invalid, It ap plied the small loan law penalty .forfeiture of Interest, prin cipal and product. The bills signed by the governor, LB 16, 17, and 18, would lighten the penalty generally to forfeiture of Interest. They would be ap plicable to contracts written un der the Invalid act. The legislature has worked long and hard on finance bills aimed at getting the credit In dustry out of the bind It found Itself In when the supreme court held the 1959 act unconstitu tional. The lawmakers planned to wrap up their work this week probably Friday. It appeared 'that LB 11, generally conceded to be the most Important sligle piece of legislation before the senate, would remain generally 1 intact. LB 11 provides for lowering the i maximum of a small loan from $3,000 to $1,500, leaves the us- ' ury celling at nine per cent In terest and also permits Install 1 ment selling at a 12 per cent in terest rate. An unsuccessful effort was made last week to Increase the 'installment selling maximum to 15 per cent, and also to make automobile, truck and trailer re- Itallers eligible for small loan ! licenses. Under LB 11, the first $300 of a small loan can carry a 30 per cent Interest rate and ithe next $200 a 24 per cent rate. Crop Production ' The state-federal division of . ...... t ... I ' .-, T mwm agricultural statistics says the. total volume of crop production In Nebraska is expected to equal the 1959 output, which was the fourth largest on record. This year's production Is ex pected to be five per cent below last year's but 38 per cent above the 1947-49 average. Gains In per acre yields during October were registered for sor ghum, soybeans, dry beans, and late potatoes. The Nov. 1 corn for gain estimate was figured at 283 million bushels, 10 per cent below last year and about five million under the five-year aver age. The estimated per acre yield at 53 bushels would be the sec ond highest on record. Sorghum production Is ex pected to hit 98 million bushels, the second highest on record. The anticipated yield of 53 bush els an acre would be the second highest, trailing the 1962 aver age of 65 an acre. Minimum Loading Dropped The civil aeronautics board (CAB) has released six Nebras ka cities from the CAB's mini mum passenger loading require ment. The cities involved are Hast ings, Kearney, McCook, Sidney, Alliance, and Chadron, according to James Sandstedt, state aero nautics director. i Under the CAB's traffic stand ard, a minimum of five passcn Iger boardings per day must be made. Sandstedt said the state aero nautics department Joined with Frontier Airlines In a motion to ItUt, rin mnnalrflnn .hot .VtA civ Nebraska cities be dropped from the so-called "use It or lose if criteria. He recalled that Beatrice, Im perial, Alnsworth and Valentine have all lost local air service since the CAB's traffic standard was adopted in Nebraska five years ago. Air-Conditioning Contract The statchouse building com mission has awarded the archi tectural-engineering contract for air conditioning the statchouse to the Leo A. Daly Co. of Oma ha. In so doing the commission se lected the Daly firm over Hen ningson, Durham and Richard son, Inc. of Omaha, which had made a preliminary study for the project. Before naking a choice, the commission held interviews with representatives of both com panies. The action by the commission cleared the way for acceptance of competitive bids for actual construction. The hope is that the air-cooling project can be completed by the summer of 1965. Leo Daly told the commission his firm would be able to begin the design phase Immediately. He said the primary problem would be installation of the bulky air conditioning equipment without distrubing the capitol's esthetic beauty. Oovernor Morrison said this was an important consideration. He added: "We would let the people in here sweat before we would disturb the architectural beauty of the building." Cost of the total project is estimated at $1.1 million. A spec ial fund has already gathered $707,000 of this amount and the 1963 legislature appropriated $300,000. The commission has already entered into a Joint a greement with the University of Nebraska to pipe cooled water to the statehou.se, making water towers near the capltol unnecessary. , V-T' I o C Ci " r Si r : 1 VI 7 , CASS COCNTY MARCH OF DIMES delegates, Mrs. Lottie Kelly of South Bend and Mrs. Ethel Strabel of Elmwood are shown with 19(i4 March of Dimes boy Kelly I'.arfoot, 6, of Jefferson City, Mo., and Clinton Belknap, State Representative for the National Foundation, at a recent regional pre-campaign conference in Kansas City, Missouri. - - 'March' Helps Boy Born without Legs Kelly, the oldest son of Mr. and Mrs. A.
