Capitol News - Personnel Agree Statehouse Jobs Getting Better By Melvtn Paul Statehouse Correspondent The Nebraska Press Association LINCOLN—State government is moving closer to a competitive pos ition with private industry for em ployes. Not too many years back there was an extremely heavy turn over of personnel in the Capitol because of low pay and 44 hoar, six-day work week. But, in recent years, lawmakers acted to over come this problem. They instituted the 40-hour five day work week which now applies to virtually all areas of state gov I eminent. In the meantime, state I departments requested ami receiv eni, gradually higher pay for workers. However, there still are some ar ' eas of government w here pay is j not competitive with private mdus | try. This is primarily in the skilled I held. A typical example is the high way department where pay raises went into effect June 1. Salary boosts of $50 per month for en g.neers and $25 per month for engineering aides were inaugurat ed Acting State Engineer John Hos sack said it was apparent that with prevailing wages the depart ment could not compete with pri vate firms or even other highway tepartments for graduate engin eers. Hussack said the new pay scales, providing a salary of $475 for grad uate engineers and $250 for en gineering aides, puts the depart ment in a better pisition to secure young engineers. Legislative Council Finishing touches are being pat on reports of 15 committees of state senators. These repirts will be air ed in November at a meeting of the Legislative Council. The Coun cil is composed of all members of the last Legislature who are divided into committees to study state problems. They then submit reports for pos sible legislation to the new Legisla ture which convenes in January, 1961. The Council was established by the Legislature in 1937. At that time it consisted of 16 senators, four from each Congressional dis trict. However, the 1949 Unicameral provided that all members be on the committee. Operation is under an executive board with the chairman and vice chairman by the Legislature. In addition to preparing and distrib uting major research reports, the Council serves as a general ser vice and information agency fer the Legislature, its committees and individual members. It also maintains a legislative reference library for the conven ience of senators as well as pro viding a bill drafting service which becomes available to lawmakers 30 days before each session be gins. Legislators get no pay for serv ing on the Council except expen ses of attending meetings. Social Security There apparently is a solution in the making tin the problem of social security coverage for jus tices of the peace and constables m Nebraska. Depty. Atty Gen Clarence Mey ! or has been working on the prob lem for some tune He says Sen Carl Curtis of Nebraska has in troduced a bill in Congress to deal | with the situation. Under the bill, fees to justices of; the peace and constables would be reported as income from self-em ployment after this year. The problem with the justices of the peace anti constables hcs been that it is not clear whether they are state, county or city of , fleers anti so it could be deter. ; mined which political subdivision j was obligated to pay the empley I er’s share of the social security tax. Education A periodic meeting of school sup erintendents with the State Board of Education has been proposed. The suggestion was made by Frank Heinisch. board member from Omaha, who said "I don’t think we have enough communion tion between this board and pro fessional educators.” This is the second board type operation that has come up with proposals to get closer to the imb l»c. Earlier, the Advisory State High way Commission talked about a plan whereby it would consult with Ne braskans before developing the next two-year highway program. Agricultural Research The Nebraska .Agricultural Pro ducts Research Fund Advisory Committee so far has undertaken projects affecting wheat, corn, mi le and castor beans. But State Ag riculture Director Pearle Fungaii says this is only the beginning. it may be that Nebraska's search for industrial uses for farm pro ducts may extend to all the prin cipal commodities produced by Ne braska farmers, Fuiigan said. He said since profitable results are never a certainty in research, Nebraska's tax financed program has been, and will continue to bo, composed of many small projects in different areas.

By the calendar, Consumers Public Power District’s Sheldon Station near Hallam, Nebraska, is now approximately half-way to completion. In the past two years, the Station has been converted from a naked hillside to a complex of nearly completed buildings. Many pieces of equipment, including the 100,000 kilowatt turbo-generator, have been set in place. In another two years, production of electric power from the nuclear heat source is scheduled to begin. In the meantime, in the spring of 1961, the plant’s conventional steam facilities will already have gone on the line. Completion of Sheldon Station will open a new era for Nebraska. The plant not only will supply a new source of needed electric power, but it will open great new potentials for economic growth. CONSUMERS & I ^
