State Capitol News . . .
Anderson Reappoints Ress, Others
LINCOLN—With Gov. Victor
Anderson’s inauguration schedul
ed this week, the shape of his
administration began to take
shape.
From his appointments could
be seen the trend of his person
nel. From his pronouncements
came some of the philosophy he
hopes to carry out in state gov
ernment.
The fact that Anderson reap
pointed almost every one of the
office holders who had served
under Gov. Robert Crosby dem
onstrated that the changeover in
republican administrations is go
ing to be relatively smooth.
Anderson changed tax commis
sioners, a board 61 control mem
i>er, capital custodian, and the
purchasing department setup. As
w-as expected, he brought in his
own administrative assistant.
But he announced he would
bold up a decision about the
state budget supervisor’s job
until he got some thinking from
legislature on whether this is
an important enough job to
keep.
Named as the new tax commis
sioner is Fred Herrington of Lin
coln. He will replace George W.
Peterson, who had served since
November, 1953. Herrington is
head of a real estate scientific
tax appraisal firm and formerly
was with the E. T. Wilkins firm,
which did reappraisals for several
Nebraska counties. He also work
ed with tax officials in the cur
rent tax reform program and is
generally highly regarded.
The new member of the board
of control was to be named. He
will replace William Diers of
Gresham, presently chairman of
the state board of control.
Joseph Bovey of Lincoln was
named as capitol custodian, re
placing John Knickrehm of
Grand Island. Bovey also will
serve as an administrative assist
ant in Governor Anderson’s of
fice.
• • •
New Policies—
On his purchasing department
appointment Governor Anderson
took an initial step in what he
hopes will be a direction toward
more efficient purchasing. He
named Carl Rosenlof not only to
head the state purchasing depart
ment but also to continue to be
in charge of purchasing for the
board of control, the job he has
held in the past.
The move left State Purchasing
Agent Blaine Yoder out in the
cold. Anderson said he hopes that
the University of Nebraska event
ually can be brought into the
purchasing setup. In fact, the
governor said, he would like to
see the day when there is one
central purchasing agency
through which all purchases must
be made.
iue umer appointment maae
by Anderson was a temporary
one. He named his campaign ad
visor, A. C. Eichberg, as his ad
ministrative assistant for a few
months. Eichberg was a longtime
businessman in Lincoln but went
to Texas 11 years ago because of
his wife’s health. He is in the
citrus fruit export business there
and also runs a peach orchard in
Arkansas.
There is every indication that
Anderson plans to lean heavily on
Eichberg for advice. Eichberg has
a reputation all his life of quiet
ly working behind the scenes for
worthwhile Lincoln community
projects.
* * *
Reappointments—
Among the officials reappoint
ed were State Engineer L. N.
Ress, State Banking Director
James McLain, State Insurance
Director Thomas Pansing. State
Labor Commissioner James
Weasmer, State Liquor Commis
sioner Nathan Pont and State Ag
riculture Director Ed Hoyt.
There had been rumors about
each of these at one time or an
other, speculating that they
would not be reappointed.
* * *
Administration Outlook—
The purchasing agent change
was symptomatic of what Ander
son has called the “businesslike”
government he would like to
have. He has also promised to
work hard on the budget, “cut
ting out unnecessary waste.”
But close observers feel that
Anderson will not have a “pen
ny-pinching” administration. He
has already said more money will
have to be spent in the mental
health program. He has announc
ed he hopes to get higher salaries
for key state officials.
The new governor said he in
tends to define the responsibili
ties of his department heads and
then give them full control over
their departments.
If he has a disagreement with
an agency—such as the state ad
visory highway commission—he
plans to “go into a room behind
closed doors and not come out
until we have agreement.” He
told the commission that was his
intention when disputes arise.
The governor has also indicat
ed he plans to stick with the suf
ficiency rating system by which
the priority of highway improve
ment is determined. But he has
said he would like to have some
way that people who disagreed
with the rating of a particular
stretch of road could “appeal.”
* * •
Crosby’s Plans—
Outgoing Gov. Robert Crosby
said he plans to go into private
law practice in the firm of Pan
sing and Guenzel in Lincoln. One
of the partners is State Insurance
Director Thomas R. Pansing, a
friend and close advisor of the
governor the past two years.
Crosby’s administrative assist
ant, James Diesing of Omaha, has
returned to his public relations
job with a natural gas company.
Crosby recently appointed his
budget supervisor, Arthur Mc
Caw of Omaha, to be on the
Douglas county tax appraisal
board.
* * *
Relocation Dispute—
Laid over for a final decision
by the legislature and Governor^:
Anderson was the thorny ques
tion of who should have final
authority in determining state
highway relocations.
Governor Anderson said he
would like to get the legislature’s
thinking.
Up to now the state engineer
has had the final say-so. The state
advisory highway commission
thinks it should have that right.
The commission is holding up
decisions on five relocation ques
tions referred to it. These are
U.S. 30 at North Platte, state 35
between Wakefield and Emerson,
state 12 between Crofton and Mas
kell, U.S. 281 in the Spencer area,
and the socalled outer beltline
highway in Omaha.
