Carl Curtis praised Ford's State of the Union address. "I think President Ford delivered a strong speech," he said. "He has demonstrated his capability to lead and showed himself in command of the situation." Sen. Roman Hruska of Nebraska called it a courageous speech, saying the President prescribed "a stiff dose of medicine for everyone." Action on the President's proposals is ill r i: KV ! Hruska Curtis imperative, Hruska said. Curtis said he approved of the moratorium on new programs and holding the line on federal spending. He said he would have more to say later about the new tax proposals. The programs outlined by the President are a challenge not only to Congress but to all the people, Hruska said. Citing the tough choices and alternatives that have been presented, he said there will be no room for traditional political maneuvering in Congress. Hruska's press secretary, Randy Moody, said the senator is unable to reply to specific issues and questions because Hruska has not had the time to take a close look at the specific proposals. "Some of these are pretty complicated financial proposals," Moody said. "The senator will have to wait and see the exact implications of these measures before he can give them a full endorsement." Curtis said he hoped the tax on gas and other petroleum products would be adjusted to make allowances for persons who must depend on them for their daily operations. "Whether one agrees with all or a substantial part, it demonstrated the positive leadership our country deserves," Hruska said. "I think our country has enough fortitude to take it," he said. "The result will be a more healthy nation." President's tax plan questioned Continued from pg. 1 Ford's proposed removal of price controls on domestic oil will increase prices, but also will encourage domestic oil production, he said. Rationing would not encourage domestic fuel production, which is necessary for energy independence, he said. McCollister said such independence is "not only realistic, but vital." "However, there's no way we can become independent in less than 10 years," he added. McCollister said in 10 years domestic fossil fuel sources should be developed and technology should be applied to exploring new sources of energy. Solar and thermal heat and hydrogen extracted from seawater are possible energy sources, he said. 'Free energy He said costs for fossil fuels will increase in the short run, but that with the new sources energy will be available at lower prices in the future. "In about 50 years, energy will almost be free," McCollister said. "We have that kind of ingenuity and technology." Smith agreed with the necessity of energy independence. "We can't be subjected to economic blackmail," she said. She called for acceptance of Ford's proposal to cut federal spending by slowing down the growth of existing programs and eliminating new programs. ' $30 billion deficit "I'm very hopeful the Congress will strictly limit federal spending," Smith said. She said increased federal spending would add to a federal budget deficit already estimated at $30 billion this year. McCollister called federal spending "a matter of the greatest concern" and said limits should be placed on it even though some programs may be hurt. Charles Thone, First District representative, was ill and couldn't be contacted. In a press release, he said he realized any energy proposals Ford makes will be unpopular, and because of that Ford has his sympathy. Deadline Saturday for income reports Many University employes will be figuring their income taxes early this year. Nebraska state employes earning more than $10,000 a year, which include many professors and administrators, must file either biennial Conflict of Interest forms or income tax forms with the Nebraska Code of Ethics Board by Saturday. Information in Conflict of Interest forms is about the same as that in income tax forms. The employe must register income from his salary as well as income from ownership of business, farms or o(her real estate, according to the Conflict of Interest form statement. If the employe has invested more than $5,000 or five per cent of his total Capital in a corporation, he must also list this investment. In addition to listing his own salary and investments, the employe must also list income earned by his spouse and children. UNL Director of Personnel Roy V. Loudon Jr. said, the idea behind the Conflict of Interest forms came from the state legislature. "A bill was passed which required state senators to disclose their sources of income and activities that might interfere with legislation. The idea grew from the Legislature and encompassed all state employees earning over 510,000 & yeai," he said. K t Lk I Tf-r ttr nil ' " a Wn I llnYAvhNlhrfr t Mirl- rwit.l h I'ff II . V r ml.
