Outside World:
Campaign Aid Proposed
BY ARLENE HRBEK
Nebraskan Staff Writer
Sen. Neuberger (D-Ore) proposed legislation Monday providing for
federal financing of national election campaigns. He said the purpose
was to ' strike loose the financial fetters from our democratic process
of government."
In a news conference Neuberger said the need for the legislation
has been brought home to the nation in recent weeks because of the
controversy" over a $2500 campaign contribution brought up during
the debate on the natural gas bill.
Under the proposed bill equal contributions would be made to each
major political party from the federal Treasury for campaigns for
president and for Senate and House seats. Neuberger said that under
this formula each major party would receive approximately 11 mil
lion dollars for the 1956 campaigns.
Snow Causes Misery
Dwindling food stocks brought fresh misery and the spectre of
famine to ice-enshrouded Europe Monday. Vegetable prices rocketed
as spring crops rotted under a three-week pall of snow.
President Eisenhower awaits an answer from Europe to his offer
of American surplus foods to aid the stricken.
Expressing growing concern over the hardships being experienced
in Europe, Eisenhower said: "I know that the people of the United
States will deem it a real privilege to put these agricultural com
modities to the great service of relieving the suffering of our Western
European neighbors."
The known death toll rose to 676 in the worst winter in recent
times. France had the largest number of fatalities, 159.
Nebraska Primary
Sen. Knowland (R-Calif) is considering entering the Nebraska
presidential primary if President Eisenhower doesn't run for another
term, a source close to Knowland said. ,
Asked what Knowland's reaction would be if Nebraska supporters
undertook to enter his name, the' source said he assumed the senator
would do nothing. Knowland was not available for comment.
President Eisenhower and Knowland were entered as opposing
candidates for the Republican presidential preference vote in the Penn
sylvania primary election on April 24.
30-Hour Work Week
Results of the latest Gallup poll show that a majority of the
American people believe that the day will come when industries will
have a 30-hour work week.
This plans has often been advanced by union leaders as a means
of opening up more jobs.
The professional and business people, those who could have the
most to say about a shorter work week, are the most inclined to believe
that there will be a 30-hour week eventually. Their average euess is
10 years.
Labor Force Reduced:
Kaplan Discusses
Mobility Of Labor
A poll of 270 Ag College students
revealed that college men and
women have some very definite
views on the subject of exams.
Students in classes of dairy
husbandry, vocational education
and chemistry were involved in the
survey.
Results of the poll Indicate that
the majority of students prefer a
challenging quiz with grades scal
ed over an easy quiz scored on an
absolute grade basis.
Two thirds of the students said
they preferred objective type tests
over essay type tests. The largest
mimhor nf students mougnt

mm After r.M.
Dr. A. D. H. Kaplan, speaking
in the Social Science Auditorium
Monday, raised the question that
the guaranteed annual wage plan
may reduce considerably the mo
bility of the U. S. labor force in
the future.
Dr. Kaplan, senior staff econo
mist at Brookings institution in
Washington, D. C, said the pres
ent plan is actually a supplement
payment to unemployment compensation.
He said since the payment is
tax free and in many cases ap
proximates three-quarters of the
employees wage, the employee
may lose his initiative to look for
another job when unemployed.
'In the past, the American la
bor force has been the most adap
table in the world and this has
been one of the reasons for our
high productivity."
Other problems which arise un
der the plan, he said:
1. The employer becomes re
sponsible for providing wages for
the employee even though he is
not producing a product with which
to meet this cost.
2. The employer is saddled with
the obligation of keeping workers
he may not need and may be pre-
vented from branching into new
products or using different meth
ods of production.
3. Since the plan is operated on
seniority basis, "there may be dif
ficulty for newcomer-workers to
find employment in certain indus
tries or move up the ladder rap
idly." However, Dr. Kaplan suggested
that remedies for these problems
may involve allowing the employ
ees who have obtained these rights
of guaranteed wages to take these
rights to another job. This, he
said, would not dampen the ini
tiative of a worker to find another
job when unemployed.
Secondly, he said, more studies
should be made on "how close to
the worker's full salary he can
be guaranteed but still not affect
his initiative to seek other work."
Dr. Kaplan s two-day visit to
the University is being sponsored
by the Department of Economics
of the College of Business Administration.
He also delivers a public address
Monday at 8 p.m. in the Love Li
brary auditorium on "The Impact
of Big Business on the Economic
Outlook."
