Gov. Griswo|d Urges
Importance Of Nebr.
State Probem $

With the general election a little
more than two weeks away, Governor
Dwight Griswold urged Nebraskans
to study the qualifications of state
legislative candidates and give the
unicameral "an intelligent and cap
able" membership to attack the tire
mendously important problems of the
next two years"
The Governor made his plea for
careful voting in a radio interview
broadcast or a statewide basis.
Il hope, he said, "our people re-
member that under the one-house
legislative system, we have the en-
tire law-making power concentrated
in the hands of 43 state senators and
the governor.
Of his own candidacy, Governor
Griswold added, Il have been before
the people of Nebraska several tim
es as a candidate and | have now
served as their governor for four
years. My guess is that by this time
the voters know whether or not |
have made good and if they want
me to continue in office they will
vote that way. l know I've made
some mistakes, but certainly | have
tried to do the best | can.
Governor Griswold listed education
as one of the prime subjects involv-
ing probleds for Nebraska during the
next two years. Financial problems
of many school districts, he explained
have been made more difficult by the
wartime teacher shortage and BY the
reflection in Nebraska of the general
upward trend in education cost.
Since most school districts are OPP
posed to increasing local school tax
es, the governor said, there is a
growing demand for increased fin
ancial help either from the state or
federal government"
TO be right honest" Governor
Griswold said Il have not made I'D
my cwn mind on this problem be-
cause | don't yet have all the infor- |
nation | need but it is a problem
NebraskanS should be thinking about.
Il don't want to have u local
schools run from Washington, or
from Lincoln, I want the real con-
troll left right at home, he continu-
The important thing, however,
is that we see to it that the school
boys and girls, in the outlying com
munities, have a decent chance at
education, just as the boys and girls
from the more populated centers
Predicting a general enrolment in
crease in colleges and universities,
the governor said new buildings will
be needed at the University of Me-
braska and the Norca1 schools when
wartime restrictions are lifted.
He proposed that the neld State
Historical Society Building, for
which the legislature is already pro-
funds, be erected on the Uni
versity of Nebraska campus.
Governor Griswold reported that
the state general fund now has a 3d.
SOC, 900 surplus of which $780, 900
could be used by the legislature to ,
start a state institutional-hospital as /
wei as school-building program with
out a building tax levy.
While victory at the polls for eli
Their the Proposed highway gas tax or
the prohibition amendments would
necessitate adjustments in financing
of the state assistance program, the
governor said he does moi believe
there is danger of the assistance pro-
gram being discontinued. Old age
assistance payments average $26.29
per recipient in September this year
compared with $16.61 for the same
month four years ago.
