Moulton, Thompson are Candidates
For Speaker of the Legislature
By Melvin Paul
stale house Correspondent
The Nebraska Press Association
LINCOLN—Support is beginning
to Ixiild up among state senators
for the post of speaker of the 1961
Legislature. This is not only an
honorary position, recognizing ser
vice of a lawmaker in the Uni
cameral, but a functional one as
well. The speaker’s main duty
is presiding over the Legislature
in the absence of the lieutenant
governor.
State Sen. William Moulton of
Omaha and Sen. Don Thompson of
McCook appear to be front-run
ners for this job when the 1961
regular session convenes Janu
ary 3. The current speaker. Sen.
Harry Pizer of North Platte, has
retired from politics.
There is also reported to be con
siderable behind the scenes ac
tivity pointing toward chairman
ships of the important standing
committees of the Legislature.
These are the groups that orginal
ly hear bills aired at public hear
ings, then make recommendations
to the entire Legislature.
The special session this week
was concerned with pay of the
state senators. It is expected to
end early next week. Members
of the session were those elected
in 1958. The new so Ions begin their
work January 3, and will get high
er pay as a result of work of the
current special session.
Among the top problems of the
1961 session will be reapportion
ment of Congressional districts,
whether to broaden the state's
lax oase ana aisposiuon ox me
problem of whether to change the
Board of Control which governs
state institutions.
Education Funds
An emergency appropriation
will be required by the State De
partment of Education to operate
the schools for the Deaf at Om
aha and the Blind at Nebraska
City.
Dr. F. B. Decker, commission
er of education, said the request
—the first by the department—
was prompted by the department
taking over the two schools in
July from the Board of Control.
There was considerable controver
sy preceding transfer of the
schools to the department.
State Spending
Tlie Nebraska Citizens Council,
a private tax research has looked
into the problem of state spend
ing over a 10-year period.
Some of the findings are start
ling. The Council, for instance,
discovered that 85% more money
is being spent by state govern
ment today for postage than 10
years ago. The total for the fis
cal year ending last July was
$237,759. Use of the telephone and
telegraph has climbed 127 per
cent from 1950, the Council re
ports.
Travel expense of state employ
es went up 58 per cent during the
decade, a lesser amount than
most of the other categories.
Those expenses show up in state
spending records as “operating
expenses.’’ There are 13 separate
items in the category, dealing
with communication and trans
portation publishing, printing and
advertising, heat, light and pow
er and miscellaneous expenses.

Ftrr Code
A new fire code for Nebraska is
continuing to kick up controversy
at educational institutions. The
latest to complain was the Uni
versity of Nebraska which said
the regulations would require ox
p ndiiure of $1,6 million if they
are complied with across the
board.
Previously objecting were the
state teachers colleges at Wayne,
Chadron, Peru and Kearney.
They have expenditures of a
quarter of a million dollars to
meet the requirements. Neither
the colleges nor the University in
cluded the expenditures in bud
get revests for 1961-63 spending
Fire Marshal Joe Divis says
school officials should blame
their own organizations, not him,
if they feel the fire rules are
not proper. Divis said five of
the eight members of the com
mittee that wrote the regulations
represented school groups and
agencies.
The marshal said he is not in
full agreement with the regula
tions but by law he must enforce
them which he is doing. The rules
were adopted July 1, 1959 and
have the force of law. Deadline
for complying was September 1
of this year.
One of the main corpplaints
against the rules is that they re
quire addition of fire detection
or other type equipment to re
cently built structures that were
considered fire-safe when con
structed.
Divis said he feels the rules
are too strict in some respects
and do not allow enough area for
an exercise of judgment by his in
spectors.
Standby Legislators
Nebraska senators are expected
to begin announcing soon stand
by legislators under a new law
now in effect. The law is designed
to provide Nebraska with contin
uity of government in the event
of an enemy attack and the regu
lar senator is unable to serve.
This law and three other as
sociated measures were passed by
the 1959 Legislature but could
not become effective until pas
sage by voters of a Constitutional
amendment. Sen. Joe Vosoba of
Wilber was the first solon to
name substitute legislators.
