State Departments," Says Burney

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.
Industry Funds
The first funds appropriated by
the August 1 special session of the
Legislature for industry attraction
have been spent.
Hired by the State Resources
Division was a research director—

government who.se sole job is at
traction ui new industry to the
state At the special session,
$35,000 was allocated to the di
vision for a crash program to
step up the state's potential for
luring payrolls.
Meanwhile, a group of business
and industrial organized “Oper
ation Bootstraps," to push a Con
stitutional amendment on the No
vember 8 ballot.
The amendment was also passed
by the special session. It would
permit cities and counties to ob
tain sites and buildings for lease
to private enterprise and issue
revenue bonds to pay the cost
of acquiring the property.
