d for inflation cmfBs
By Lucy Lien
President Ford "is a very
sincere man, he's not a
manipulative man," said United
State Senator from South
Dakota, Sen. James Abourezk.
Abourezk, speaking in Lin
coln Sunday to endorse the
candidacy of Hess Dyas for
Congressman for the First
District, said he though Presi
dent ford will "seriously try to
repair the economic structure
rather than simply doing a
cosmetic job on it." He said that
former President Richard Nixon
had, merely "wallpapered" the
cracks.
At a press conference with
Dyas and Gov. J. James Exon,
he noted that there are two
ways to repair the economy and
battle inflation. One way to cut
inflation, he said, is to face up
to cutting down on unnecessary
spending, such as for excess
military expenditures. The
second and major way of
curbing inflation, he said, is to
destroy the monopoly structure
in the United States that has
built up over the years.
He said that the government
should be involved in anti-trust
actions, although this is the
only area of business the
government should be involved
in.
Family farm bOl
Sen. Abourezk said that one
of his prime concerns in
Congress is the Family Farm
Anti-Trust Act. He was cam
paigning for Hess Dyas, he
said, because Dyas has agreed
to support this act if he is
elected.
In the Family Farm Anti
Trust Act, he said, provisions
are made to fight the farm
conglomerate. The cutoff point
which determines what are
smaller independent farms and
which are monopolies, he said,
was at ownership of $3 million
in non-farm assets.
"Anyone who has over $3
million in non-farm assets
cannot really be in the farming
business, he said.
Among President Ford's
future farm policies, he said he
hopes that "Secretary of
Agriculture Earl Butz be
retired back to General Motors
speaking circuit from whence
he came." He said thai if the
secretary of agriculture didn't
step the fluctuation of farm
prices like they have been
doing, it will leave the fanning

Inflation curbs
"Unless the policy is changed
to keep those small independent
farmers alive," he said, "infla
tion will continue. There's got
to be recognition that these
farmers have a 'right to stay
alive."
Abourezk noted that former
President Nixon's strategy on
inflation was "to issue a lot of
press releases. He never really
faced up to the issue because he
wasn't able to take the heat of
putting on full restraints."
He said that now that the
former president has resigned,
"my basic instinct is to say
leave him alone, to stop
hounding him. But I think that
my feelings should not interfere
in this case.
The country has to face up to
two basic issues in this case, he
said. Many people are saying
that there are two standards of
justice, one for the rich and
powerful and one for the poor.
In addition, he said, "We don't
know the extent to which he
has subverted the govern
ment." He said the American
people should urcover every
thing in this case.
However, further prosecu
tion of Kichard Nixon, ha said,
is really up to President Ford
and to the Justice Department.

candidates won't suddenly find
it harder to win their elections,
because those Republicans who
have supported Nixon all along
will still be in trouble.
In speaking of current
candidates, Exon said that
although he considers Con
gressman . Charles Thone a
friend, he has had difficulties
with him primarily on the farm
issue. He noted that the Nixon
Butz farm policy has not been
good for the farmer, and Thone
has been "pretty well locked '
into" the Nixon policies.
Dyas said that one of the
disagreements he has with
present congressmen is the
abuse of franking privileges.
He recommended a reverse
frank, where constituents can
send postage paid corres
pondence to their representa
tives. He also criticized using
government-paid postage privi
leges for sending out letters
such as graduation or birthday
congratulations to voters.

he advocated some sort of

hope we don't get into a

like the Social Security is

He stressed that any health
legislation should be sound
fiscally, and he came out
against socialized medicine.

sored by the Nebraska Human
Resources Foundation, college
students work on a one-to-one
basis with high school students
who have potential for higher
education, but who come from
environments not wholly eon-
duc.ive to higher education.
Co-chairperson of PDP Barb
Bartlin said that the counselors
and counselees meet at least
once a week throughout the
counselce's high school years.
The counselor, she said, finds
out what interests the high
school student and then tries to
encourage development of those
Interests.
One high school student was
interested in photography, she
said, and his counselor and the
rest of th'9 PDP staff worked
with him on taking movies and
in other photography ventures.
Tim main emphasi of the
program, fhe said, is to
acquaint the high school student
with college student and with
the college almo.spht re.
In a survey conducted five
years ago, she said that SO per
cent of the counselees went on

cent of a control group who
