Thone Urges: Hike Midwest's North-South Amtrak Service People Nfws rh Charles Thone of Nebraska said Sunday the "time is ripe for restoration of north-south railroad passenger service for Ne- a a and neighboring states." At present, he noted in his weekly news letter there is no north-south service -across the Monday, February 11, 1974 Lincoln, Neb. Journal 9 THINGS TO DO IN LINCOLN Safety-Health Act Views Mixed at Omaha Hearing OMAHA, Neb. (AP)-The Federal Occupational Safety and Health Act was described both as a "good law" and as being responsible for a program to "harass small businessmen" at a hearing here. Area businessmen appeared before the House subcommittee on enviromental problems affecting small business Saturday to testify as to the controversial law adopted by Congress in 1970. Thirteen appeared at the daylong hearing and U.S.

Sens. Roman Hruska and Carl Curtis, Nebraska Republicans, submitted written statements. The law was designed to assure workers safe places of employment. But its administration by the U. S.

Labor Department has been criticized, particularly by small businessmen, who complain the department's safety regulations and requirements under the law are unreasonable and forcing some businesses to close. James Gardner, executive vice president of the Metropolitan Omaha Builders Association, told the subcommittee most home builders "feel unduly handicapped by (safety) standards which may be appropriate for heavy construction but which are unfairly applied to light construction work." George L. Walters, executive director of the petroleum Marketers said the safety pro- gram "should aim to promote safety, not harass small businessmen." He said the regulations are complex and difficult to read, let alone to understand. The only labor official to testify was Don Bastemeyer, representing the Omaha Carpenters District Council. He said he felt the OSHA is a "comprehensive, well-intended, good law." In response to a proposal by Senator Curtis that small businessmen "with six or seven employes or fewer" should be exempt from the law.

Basteme-. yer said: "What possible difference does it make when a man is killed on the job if he was one or two of three employes or one of 200?" Fund Bid Cut By Immanuel Medical Center OMAHA, Neb. (AP)-The Immanuel Medical Center will apply for federal funds to expand psychiatric services for children and adolescents in Dodge. Washington and part of Douglas counties. Associate Administrator Robert Huseby said Immanuel planned to ask for a first-year grant of $286.412, but now will seek significantly less because available money is limited.

United States between Chicago and the West Coast. "I have written to Roger Lewis, president of the National Railroad Passenger urging him to begin passenger service from Minneapolis-St. Paul through Omaha to Kansas City," he said, noting there is already rail passenger service south of Kansas City. "I have also written to every member of the congressional delegations from Nebraska, Iowa, Minnesota, the Dakotas, Kansas and Missouri, urging them to support me in efforts to obtain this service." Thone said Public Law 93-146, which passed Congress late in 1973, directs Amtrak the government-sponsored corporation which operates passenger rail service in the nation, to add at least two routes per year. He said the energy crisis has made passenger train service more essential than before.

A passenger train uses only one- fifth as much fuel per passenger-mile as an airliner. Thone said even when five people travel together in one automobile, they use twice as much fuel per passenger-mile as a train. "The energy situation is helping Amtrak's usage to grow. In December, traffic was up on every route compared to December, 1972-and on some routes by more than 50 per cent. Traffic for January, 1974.

also was much better than the same month last year." Thone said more than two- thirds of the geographic area of the nation between Chicago and the West Coast has no rail passenger service, and that gap can be narrowed and a high proportion of the people in the area can be served by providing service from the Twin Cities through Omaha to Kansas City.

Seedman's Annual Omaha Hilton Tuesday Omaha Trucker Ready To Roll Despite Costs Tuesday irseries are in the Yellow Pages LINCOLN MAYTAG 1065 N. 33rd "We hove our own Specialized Service Dept. to assure your satisfaction." Omaha (AP) Independent trucker Galen Olsberg is ready to roll.

He said he was on the telephone all day Saturday talking to other Midwestern truckers, noting that drivers wanted to be sure it was safe to start driving again. Olsberg sees the current problems besetting truckers as "an attack on the free enterprise system." Also, there's that big truck. Once you commit yourself financially to one, you don't back away too easily. Six months ago, he averaged $700 per month for fuel. Now, he's spending $1,000 a month.

The difference is coming out of his pocket. He fears that lower speed limits will mean he'll be unable to handle as many jobs, another cut into his profits. Big trucks also run less efficiently at lower speeds, meaning more fuel and maintenance costs. Currently he puts in 70 or 80 hours a week, making it home three weekends a month. He said he joined the trucker strike because he believed it was necessary.

The Olsberg family is living on what they have saved and the bills keep coming in. Before the diesel fuel prices began climbing so rapidly, truckers were not keeping ahead of inflation, he said. Olsberg estimated his current monthly gross income as $3,500. Out of that, he said, comes his monthly expenses including: 000 for his fuel; $500 for payments on his truck; $365 for taxes, fuel and others; $300 for repairs and maintenance; $165 for tires; $120 for licenses; $70 for i a $100 for depreciation, and $40 for workman's compensation. He says that leaves him a monthly income of $840.

Consider Bond Proposal Omaha (AP) A $7.75 million bond issue geared for citywide appeal will be presented to the Omaha City Council Tuesday. A public hearing has been scheduled for Feb. 19. The general obligation bonds would improve parks, recreation facilities and the public works department. If the council approves, the proposal will be submitted to voters in the May 14 primary and will require a majority of the votes cast.

If the bond issue goes to the voters, it will be the first major spending package submitted to a referendum since a million school construction proposal was beaten overwhelmingly in 1970.
