Nebraska park entrance fee backed by witnesses at hearing
A near unanimous hearing backing a Game and Parks Commission plan would charge entrance fees to state parks to fund facility upgrades. Vehicle permits would be 7.50 for Nebraskans and 12.50 for non residents annually, with 1.50 and 2 for daily passes respectively, charged per entering vehicle. The bill’s fate rests with the Constitutional Revision and Recreation Committee.

Senators clash over continuing state Telecommunications Committee

Calvary troops once captured an entire navy on the high seas. In 179 French mounted Hussars charged across the Zuyder Zee seizing the icebound Dutch fleet.

Carter plan under fire in Congress over jobs and tax cuts
President Carter faces liberal and Republican opposition in Congress to the 31.2 billion package.

Carter economist Schultze defends a quick stimulus with rebates and longer, targeted public works, public service jobs, and youth training. He notes housing programs belong in longer-term plans, not the temporary bill.
