Capitol News • "No Drastic Changes Planned for State Departments," Says Burney By MHvia Paul StaUiiou-u- Correspondent TV Na-bra-'k a Pr> m AMorlatlaa LINCOLN -Gov Dwight Burney of Hartington, Nebraska’s 30th governa >r has had a long career in state government He is also a Republican and the second lieu tenant governor in the state's his tory to be elevated to the gover norship. A farmer, the fig-year old chief executive gained the post by virtue of the death of Democratic Gov Ralph G Brooks. Burney was a state senator 12 years, lieutenant governor for four during which he presided over the Legislature and is seeking redaction to the lieutenant gov vernorship He, by reason of Ne braska law, is mg only governor but lieutenant governor as well Immediately after becoming gov ernor, Burney began assembling his office staff John Beaver of Beemer, legisla tive colleague of Burney, was picked for administrative assis tant . Beaver is former speaker of the Legislature. Beaver replaced Robert Conrad who had been ad ministrative aide to Brooks for the past 20 months and before that executive secretary of the Democratic Party. One of the first things Burney aaid relative to operation of state government was that he had no plans to “turn things upside down." Most department heads, all Democrats, were given specific terms with confirmation by the Legislature and they run until January. Therefore, Burney could remove thirn only for not per forming duties of their office properly. Conrad, meanwhile, was select ed by the Democratic State Com mittee as the candidate for U.S, senator to oppose Republican in cumbent Carl T. Curtis Haircuts It costs more to get those locks trimmed in some areas of the state now The State Barber Board said Lincoln and Omaha barbers get $1.75 for haircuts and that a minimum price of $1.25 has beem established in more than 55 counties. Fred Thiermui of Lin coln, board vice chairman, says the board considers wishes of those plying the trade in a county before a rock bottom price for a haircut is set. Hearings will be held in remaining Nebraska coun ties in which a $1.25 minimum has not been established, Thieman reported. Road Hearings Informational road hearings un der the Democratic administra tion have been continued by Gov. Dwight Burney Burney is scheduled to attend his first meeting of the Advisory State Highway Commission Sept. 30. at Fremont. There will be three before that date but other commitments will keep the new Republican governor from attend ing them. In one of his first of ficial acts. Burney continued the meetings arranged by the late Democratic Gov. Ralph G. Brooks. They are used primarily to obtain information for planning of the state road program for the next biennium and to give citizens a sounding board for their views on highways. Political Problems Another political problem de veloped on the Board of Control but it was ironed out quickly by me ooarn. Larry Meyers, director of per sonnel for the board which gov erns state institutions, had been Lancaster county chairman of the Citizens for Kennedy organization. The group is promoting 9en. John Ktnndy, Democratic presidential candidate When it was called to the attention of the board by news media that state law pro hibits political activity of board employes, Meyers resigned his political post. Previously Mrs. Ethel Kirwin, Democratic board member, was vice chairman of the State Party and had intended to run for na tional committeewoman. But pres sure built ,ip and she dropped the bid for party office. She was not renamed a vice chairman by the party.
