I Beatrice Daily Sun, Beatrice, Mar. 22, 1957 Gas tax hike target for hot discussion LINCOLN For tree and a hours Thursday the Legislature Revenue Committee the 'nrget, for arguments on why Nebraska needs a gas tax increase ind why it docs not need a gas increase. When the verbal firing ended, the committee decided it needed time to digest the pros and cons and postponed a decision. The lineup was this: For a hike from 6 to 7 cents per gallon in the tax: State Engineer L. N.

Ress, the Better Nebraska the Highway the State Assn. of County Qfficials ami bill introducer Sen. Bixler. Against the hike: The State G-range, tho Farm Bureau, the Farmers Union, the petroleum industry, the motor carriers organization. Ress said that if the increase VFW Club Kenny Knowles Combo March 23 Club Members and Guest ROLLER SKATING Tonight Beat-the-Clock ROLL-ARENA City Auditorium SKATING 8:00 to 10:30 P.M.

Mat. and Sun. Afternoon 1:30 to 3:30 P.M is approved by the committee, and then the Legislature as a whole, Nebraska can plan a $88,000,000 building program for the cost of the proposed interstate highway. With the increase, the planned program will be for $39,400,000 in construction, Ress said. Robert Crosby for the Better Nebraska said that unless Nebraska raises additional highway revenue, the state could lose 3S million dollars in federal matching funds during the next two years.

Loyd Chandler, Ansley, said that the Highway 183 Assn. "backed the bill and stated that he thought the gas tax is the "fairest tax possible for road building, since it is road users who pay for it." Art Holmburg, Shelton, saJd on behalf of the Assn. of County Officials, that the bill will aide the farmer because of the revenue which would be for county road purposes. Russell Lockwood, representing the petroleum industries, said Nebraska's highway construction program should continue to be planned on a two-year basis. He said a "crash program," could result in poor road construction and wasted money.

Other speakers for the petroleum industry said that the proposed tax increase would prove "disastrous" to the station operators. Bixler said in rebuttal testimony that "it's selfish interests" who oppose the bill and charged that the "truckers, farm unions and petroleum interests" have "more than once" set the state's road program "back many years."

Oil tanksrs from Arabia, no longer able to make the fast trip to the Mediterranean mean through Suez have had to take the long trip around Africa. The canal is still closed. Saud's moral support has been a help to Nasser.

But the Egyptian has brought Saud nothing but trouble. Interests With West Saud's interests lie more with the West than with Nasser. He needs western money just as the West needs his oil. The West is his only market. Russia doesn't need his oil.

And getting cozy with the Communists will do him no good. He knows he wouldn't last long if they got a grip on Saudi Arabia.

He's too crazy about yellow.

Can't get enough of it. After carefully brushing yellow over the cardboard he was working on, Zippy lifted up the palette and poured all the rest of the yellow paint on his palate. Then he swallowed all the other colors, too blue, green, orange, black and white.

he probably hates the Egyptian. Nasser is beginning to push again. He'll no doubt keep on pushing where he can, just short of new explosions. Trouble is, he can never be sure when he'll push too hard and blow the lid off, causing a new canal closing and even a new Middle East war. Somewhere along the line of Nasser's pushing, Saud may feel it time to say goodbye.

Nasser can't stand too many desertions from his Arab neighbors.

He'd be taking a chance. The West, particularly the United States, has to have a showdown sometime, It can't go on being Nasser's patsy forever. One encouragement to Arabs not to go along with Nasser is the new American program of aid- military and the Middle East.

But there's also a question of how many new crises, including a new war, the Egyptian people can take. So far Nasser has -been a sheer rabble-rousing opportunist appealing to pan-Arabism, antisemitism, Arab nationalism, anticolonialism. Lack Social Program But the big gap in all he's done has been the lack of any real social program for the betterment of his own people. He's given them excitement, a new sense of pride in defying the West, and perhaps even a sense of destiny. But they can't eat those three things.

True, their living scale has been low. Hardship has been their common lot. But even poor and poorly fed people get sick of a diet of crisis and war. They're not even equipped to do anything except bluff, as the British, French and Israelis showed with their invasion. Unless Nasser can give the Egyptians something solid for themselves, the time should come, if he leads them into new disaster, when they're fed up with him.

Nasser may have one ace in the hole: Promises of help from Russia if he gets in too deep. He already has tie-ups with them. It might explain a lot to know when Nasser began his relations with the Russian Communists: Before or after he came to power. One thing is certain: He's helped the Russians with his tactics. -MARKET QUOTATIONS- Local Markets (Central Cooperative Creamery Co.)
