Cinniln Jmrnal Second Front Page Life LINCOLN, FEB. 10, 6 Two Recommendations OKd by Health Board The State Health Board Monday afternoon approved two recommendations from its State Advisory Council on Hospital and Medical Facilities, held two others over for March consideration and named a temporary acting health director, Dr. Robert Osborne.

Council spokesman Joe R. Seacrest told the board the advisory group is becoming concerned and uncomfortable about safety features as more electronic equipment and installations are being in more hospitals. believe the public should be told it have these safeguards Seacrest said.

Do we, he asked, know that a system poisoning the air instead of cleaning it? The State Health radiological health division is responsible for inspecting radiation equipment in hospitals, but Seacrest pointed out this be too efficient since the division is down to one staff member, primarily because of inadequate state funding. State Health Board members by a 7-2 vote adopted the state building block regional boundaries for the 1971 state hospital plan drafting. This is the document by which federal Hill-Burton funds are allocated to priority hospitals. It was pointed out the changeover from the 30 trade areas concept to the state's 26 building blocks formula really makes little geographic difference. It will not affect any Hill- Burton obligations or priorities of current top priority applicants.

It will put the federal aid program in line with increasing other state government planning-funding services. Until the health board hires a permanent state director, Dr. Osborne agreed to serve as acting director, assuming overall responsibility and devoting of his time to the additional job. He will be paid $500 a month, based on one-fifth of the $30,000 salary. Health Director Arnold Reeve leaves Feb.

Judge Rules Chadron Must Register Three By CELLA HEITMAN U.S. District Judge Robert Van Pelt Tuesday ordered Chadron State College to permit Robert E. Reichenberg Jr. and two other students to register for second semester classes. Reichenberg, John Streep and Donn Hnme had been prohibited from registering because they did not meet the dress and grooming code standards.

In issuing the order, Van Pelt emphasized that it was restricted solely to the three students named and was not to be construed a general order for other educational institutions. Attorney for Chadron State Bevin B. Bump said the school fully intends to keep its grooming code but will register the three students named. will keep the Bump said. order has no effect on the dress and grooming code.

The judge observed that all members of the Chadron faculty and administration who testified during the two-day trial in Lincoln were well am not expressing disapproval of them or their actions or anything (Chadron State College President Edwin Nelson has Van Pelt said in issuing his order.

No appeal plans are in the works yet. Bump commented immediately after hearing Judge Van order. Van Pelt assessed costs of the case to the defendant, Chadron State College, but refused to allow the attorney, Wallace Rudolph, any fees.

Mr. Stephen said the Chadron State students had called him, as Nebraska ACLU president, after hearing that they would be barred from registering because their appearance did not meet the dress code.

He explained that the ACLU does not pay its attorneys becifuse such pay is forbidden by the national charter. Van Pelt specified that his decision was not to be a applicable to all. He was concerned, he said, with the dress code as it applied to the specific individuals named. He added a further restriction in saying that Dr. Harold H.

Koch, director of Chadron student teaching, could validly require students to meet certain dress standards as far as the professional part of the teaching-training program was concerned. Reichenberg, a 24-year-old sophomore majoring in political science, brought the suit after being denied registration to Chadron State on the basis of a recent clarification of the dress and grooming code. The code specifies that moustaches should not extend below the upper lip, sideburns should not be below the lobe of the ear and hair should not extend over the collar line. Reichenberg said he was not entirely satisfied with the finding. would like to have seen a little broader said the 24-year-old honorably discharged serviceman who aspires to become a lawyer.

Aerial Trains Federal Aid Asked For Study Local businessmen have succeeded in setting the wheels in motion for a federally assisted study and possibly some construction of a proposed high-speed aerial train system linking Omaha and Lincoln. The State Office of Planning and Programming has submitted two applications to the U.S.

Transportation Dept. One requests $60,000 in federal money to be lumped with $30,000 in local funds to conduct a study of the proposed project in the areas of management, operation, construction requirements and economic feasibility. The second application seeks approval for construction of a demonstration project in either Lincoln or Omaha. This would involve building and operating some five to seven miles of the system at a cost in the range of $7.5 million. Although the State Office of Planning and Programming submitted the applications, any federal funds granted would be administered by Horizontal Automated Transit Systems Inc.

(HATS), a non-profit corporation headed by Lincoln attorney Frederick Wagener. As outlined in recent months, the system would consist of trains that would travel at speeds up to 150 m.p.h. on rails suspended some 18 feet above the ground. Planners envision the system eventually connecting Omaha and Lincoln with southeast Nebraska towns; St. Joseph, Kansas City, and Des Moines, Iowa.

The application submitted to the government said the demonstration project in Nebraska would follow the same general pattern as the one in San Francisco. If the project were built in Omaha, it could link the Omaha municipal airport with the downtown business district, east Omaha and Council Bluffs, Iowa. County Will Collect City Property Taxes By ROGER HIRSCH The Lancaster County Board Tuesday signed an agreement whereby the county will collect general real estate property taxes beginning in 1970. According to the agreement, the County Board will also sit as a Board of Equalization for the city except with regard to the special assessments. County Atty.

Paul Douglas told the board Lancaster is the only county in which a city has been setting its own values for tax purposes. The county will now set them after the scientific reappraisal by Cole-Layer-Trumble has been approved by the state tax commissioner, according to Douglas. Douglas said this would eliminate the double appraisal conducted in the past. The county had been appraising land for its own tax purposes, as had the city, which led to the setting of diherent values on the same piece of property in many instances. Cole Layer Trumble reappraised for both county and city.

Its work is expected to be approved by early next week. According to the agreement, the county assessor will supervise the control and Denney Win File Third House Term Sought Rep. Robert Denney, will file for reelection to a third term Wednesday at 9 a.m. in the secretary of office, according to the Lincoln office. At 11 a.m.

(Bill) Burroughs, who farms near Adams. He filed for the post in October. supervision of the services to be performed under the agreement.

For its services, the county will be entitled to deduct of such taxes collected, remitting the balance to the city, according to the agreement. Lincoln Finance Director James Mallon is to certify to the county clerk the levies or amounts required to be raised by taxation as determined by the mayor and City Council within 10 days after adoption of the budget by the mayor and Council. The agreement continues until terminated by either party, which can be done only after at least 12 notice of intention to end the agreement. City Atty. Norman Krivosha said he would give the agreement to Mayor Sam Schwartzkopf for signature as soon as the three copies requested by the city have been received.

The University has put up its share, according to Dr. Rand. She told the board, which did not rule on the matter, that it would be a park with trails and no further would be done on a trial basis to see whether citizens are interested in such a she said.

The Park Board would maintain the park, according to Dr. Rand. She said the lease would allow the land to recover from and if citizens were interested, the University, city and county could participate in a permanent park. She said not only was a one- year lease too short to allow the land to but that a smaller park of some 40 acres would not allow people to get the of a prairie. The area could be used for winter sports, according to Dr.

Two locations being considered have buildings which would make possible a move to new quarters within a six- month period, he said. If one of six other sites under consideration were chosen, it would be approximately 18 months before (xmstruction would be complete. Two factors influenced the shift of plans from the Elkhorn: proximity to the proposed Platte River dam, and the results of a child welfare study which showed that it is most desirable to have institutions such as Girls Town operate within the community they serve.
