Nebraska 'best Nixon state in America'
by GARY SEACREST
Nebraska! Staff Writer
Omaha President Richard
Nixon, making a campaign
whistle stop for Republican
candidates in Nebraska Thurs
day, called the Cbrnhusker
state "the best Nixon state in
America." And the partisan,
f 1 ag-waving, hand-clapping
crowd at Ak-Sar-Ben Coliseum,
eager to show that the
President's statement was true,
gave him repeated standing
ovations.
Besides praising the top
Nebraska Republican can
didates, Nixon told the crowd of
10,000 that America's youth
"have been getting a bad rap."

He said television reports give
the impression that radicals
who resort to violence are a
majority of American youtlu
"The radicals are not a ma
jority and they will not be the
future leaders of our country,"
continued the President. "Let's
keep our fatih in young
Americans. And yon young
Americans, don't lose your
faith in America."
It was speculated that one of
the main reasons for Nixon's
stop in. Omaha was to help the
campaign of First Con
gressional District candidate
Charles Thone. However, Nixon
only briefly mentioned Thone
and instead singled out Sen.

Roman Hruska and Gov.
Norbert Tiemann for lavish
praise.
"There has not been a man in
the Senate more strong, more
courageous, and more depen
dable than Roman Hruska,"
noted the President. "And with
his colleague Carl Curtis they
make a great team."
Nixon added, "If there is one
man in the Senate or House
who should be known as 'Mr.
Law Enforcement', it is Roman
Hruska."
Claiming that Tiemann has
brought new ideas into state
government, Nixon said other
state governors consider
Tiemann as one of the nation's
best state chief executives.
Nixon, a noted football fan,
also singled out Nebraska's Big
Red. "I'm somewhat of a foot
ball nut," he said. "But I
understand that I have a lot of
company here."

he was in Texas recently he
said Texas had the number one
football team and during a visit
to Ohio he said Ohio State was
number one. "While I'm in
Nebraska, Nebraska is number
one," he said to the delight of
the capacity Ak-Sar-Ben crowd.
The President never criticiz
ed the Democrats in 0 m a h a
Thursday as he has done dur
ing recent campaign stops.
Instead he reminded the au
dience of his administration's
record on crime, inflation, and
the Vietnam War and told them
he needs Nebraska Republicans
to help his programs in
Congress.
Nixon stressed his efforts
toward disengaging America
from Vietnam. "We're bringing
the war to an end," remarked
Nixon. "Our objective is to
have a full generation of peace
for Americans."
He pointed to increased troop
withdrawals and lower war
casualties as proof that his ad
ministration is achieving his
goal of peace.
In a prepared statement the
President continued his praise
for Hruska and Tiemann.
"Senator Hruska has been a
clear, courageous, creative
voice in our attack against the
crime and violence which is
threatening our nation," said
the President. "He has worked
diligently to help stop inflation
and the large government

The President concluded by
saying, "With men like Roman
Hruska in the Senate, the voice
of the people will continue to be
heard and respected at the
highest levels in Washington."
Nixon stated that the new
federalism and his ad
ministration's emphasis on
rural development will demand
the highest kind of dedication
and ability from the nation's
governors. "As a proven leader
in these fields. Governor
Tiemann will be, able to make
these initiatives succeed, here
in Nebraska and across the
nation as well."
Nixon received no heckling
Thursday from the crowd and
there were only a few anti
Nixon placards in the
Coliseum. "Nixon is spiffy"
was one of the typical signs
that greeted the President.
