Nebraska unveils comprehensive overhaul of criminal code
Lincoln Neb AP reports the state Crime Commission unveiled the most sweeping overhaul of Nebraska's criminal code to date. The 25 page proposal, prepared for the 1973 legislature, recodifies crimes into classes with death penalty for first degree murder and kidnapping, aims for uniform penalties, and shifts all statutes into one section. The plan, led by retired Judge Edward Carter Wirder, awaits Crime Commission approval and potential April 1974 effective date.

Nebraska Drugs Commission backs resolution over NIMH aid
The Nebraska Commission on Drugs unanimously approved a resolution criticizing the NIMH over alleged lack of technical assistance for Nebraska drug abuse grants. The panel may have aimed a rebuke at Glenn Petty, NIMH regional representative, who did not meet with commissioners. The group plans to send copies of the resolution to NIMH, legislators, and Congress. The commission also advanced several funding actions for local programs, including Lincoln Council on Alcoholism and Drugs, Omaha Awareness and Action, and Creighton University, with mixed state contributions pending approvals.
