'Is law on pollution effective? Pollution bans are law on both Nebraskan and federal statute books, but their ef fectiveness is questionable. Conviction on p o i. i u f i o n charges in Nebraska, a charge defined as "a public menace" are punishable by a max imum fine of .500, sccording to Gary J. Snowden, legal council Panelis ts play down pollution for the Nebraska Control Council. Charges brought the Nebraska Air Control Council Nebraska Water Control Council Pollution bv either Pollution or the Pollution are only misdemeanors, he also said. Snowden spoke at the University nebraska Earth Day program Wednesday Federal violations of pollu tion laws are also misde meanors, according to Donald M. Malone, associate professor of law. Malone also noted the "cumbersomeness" ot pro ceedings when a "We fati 'o comply with federal standards. He said that hearings, con ferences and appeals may all be held. Snowden said that in Nebraska every "vproprinte means to gain voluntary com pliance" with a pollution law is employed. If the violator fails to comply, he may appeal. After the final hearing a verdict of "pollution or no pollution" is given, he said. A third speaker on the pro gram, Ralph Fischer, chief legal council of the Soil and Water Conservation Com mission, said more "squawks" must be heard to irake pollu tion laws effective. "It's nice to know there aren't any pollution problems in Nebraska," a girl told Gov. Norbert T. Tiemann following a two hour panel discussion. She implied that panel participants had down played the problem. She said she was tired of hearing the panelists who in cluded Lincoln Mayor Sam Schwartzkopf, State Sen. Maurice Kremer and Douglas County Commissioner George Buglewicz and Tiemann defend themselves. That interpretation of the panel discussion is a bit ex treme but sums up Mayor Schwartzkopf's insistence that industry recognizes its responsibility for pollution cleanup and is cooperating fully. Buglewicz, who stood in for Omaha Mayor Eugene Leahy, also said industry is cooperating and that two years ago Omaha closed its dumps and went into the landfill business. But he admitted that land-fill Is a "stop gap." Feedlot owners are also cooperating, according t o Kremer, and are waiting for technology to find answers to the pollution problem for them to implement. a bucket on a m picnic Visit the Colonel fed cm pkt up Ctl.

"Nebraska is still a good place to live," he said, but the state's pollution problems are growing especially in the area of solid wastes. Of over 500 city dumps only 25 are operated without offending the environ ment, Tiemann said. All but 40 water sewage plants in the state can process waste with 85 per cent effi ciency and these will be up to par by 1972, he said. A student tried to pin the Governor down about who must pay the pollution bill. The questioner wanted to know how the consumer will be protected from paying the whole price. Tiemann answered that for government to fix prices for industry would "be foreign to our system." In answer to another question he said he would probably s up p o r t legislation requiring a n t i -pollution devices for cars. But, he said he is not clear about who should pay the price the customer, the state or the auto industry. The Governor predicted that environment control will be one of the highest budget priorities for the 1971 legislature. He lis'ed a number of boards and study groups recently set up to deal with the problem. He ex pects recommendations from the water and air pollution control commissions by fall. In attempts to attract in dustry, one of Tiemann's big gest concerns, the state may try to select the industries it tries to lure. Efforts will be made to recruit industries "compatible with the state's quality of life," Tiemann said.
