Capitol News - Budget Hearing Progress Shown By "How Money Is Used-Not Where" The final steps to decide the le vel of state spending are under way. The Legislature’s budget com mittee has wound up its regularly scheduled hearings on state agen cies. Budget hearings are dull to the person who is not a student of government. But the budget is the heart of state government and determines to a great extent, the rate of progress of the state. State Sen. Richard Marvel of Hastings, chairman of the com mittee, says however that pro gress is not measured by how much money Is spent, but where it is used. A budget should not be arbitrarily cut just to slice it either, he added. The function of the budget committee is to arrive at its best judgement of what is needed to successfully operate state government. This level must be one which lax-payers can af ford to support. This budget committee has worked unusually hard on the level of state spending. It has been faced with heavy demands from state agencies, primarily in the field of salary schedules. On the other hand is the problem of how much more taxes can be ex tracted from the public, even though the state levy is a small part of the average citizen’s over all tax bill. As was predicted in pre-session surveys, salaries have proven to be one of the major thorns in the side of the budget makers. Mar vel said all state agencies, with out exception, already have ex ceeded what they told the last budget committee they would spend in pay for personnel. Mar vel says the problem is serious. He believes agencies should stick with pay levels set forth in tbeir regular two-year budget askings. Air Chief The man recommended unani mously by the State Aeronautics Commission for state aeronautics director has a wide sports back ground. Jim Sandstedt, a Democrat, got the blessing of the commission. Living at Wahoo, the 38-year-old Sandstedt is a major in the Ne braska Air National Guard. A 1949 graduate of the University of Nebraska where he played bas ketball and baseball, he was also an athlete at Omaha South High School. Sandstedt has been flying since 1943 when he served as a B-26 pilot during World War U. The aeronautics post pays $10, 200 per year. The job has been the center of controversy for nearly a year during the time it was held by Jack Obbink. Obbink resigned before a pend ing fight in the Legislature over his confirmation and has been nominated for U. S. Marshal for Nebraska. Billboiird Control Nebraska lawmakers put their stamp of approval on a bill to control billboards along the In terstate Highway. Supporters of the measure claimed without it, the new super highway would be cluttered “like a slum.’’ The bill to regulate the distance billboards could be plac ed from the Interstate passed on final reading 32-7. With it the highway department can get a bonus from the federal govern ment which could be used for construction. Under the proposal signs are prohibited within 661) feet of the -I »N_ OC MON.

This will signal the last lap for the current ses sion which is expected to end anywhere from the middle of June to the latter part of that month. It was possible at the beginning of this week for the lawmakers to hit the 714 mark for total bills offered for the 1959 session. Week ly records indicate generally law makers are passing more pro posals and killing fewer than in the past session although this picture could change sharply in the final weeks. University Buildings The University of Nebraska says as of now it appears it will need $27 million for new con struction and renovation and maintenance of existing buildings in the foreseeable future. The basic building fund for the school from a special levy for state institutions, which is expect ed to produce about $12.9 million in the next 6 years, barring any law changes by the Legislature.

A Poem From Mrs. Eby •. • —KNOCKING— There’s some one knocking at my door, That gentle knock I've heard before, The knock so pleading again I hear, Struggling still with my doubts and fears. Perhaps He will leave if I keep still, But deep inside I fear he will, The thought of that brought dark despair, And left me cold as I waited there. Knocking, knocking so gentle and mild. Knocking for me a poor sinful child, Shall I let Him in, reveal all my sin, When my heart I know is so deeply defiled. The window near I tried to see out, But the pane was covered with cobwebs of doubt. The wiills all draped with envy and pride, And all unfit for that guest out side, But opening the door a wee small crack, Feeling so keenly my poor hearts lack, “But when I saw that wonderful face, So tender and sweet and full of grace,” ‘‘My poor sinful child, I died for you May I come in and help you be true.” With Him inside I looked about, The pane was cleared of the cob webs of doubt. The walls once so black were shiney and bright, The floor just shone with a won derous light. Yes, I let Him in, He forgave all my sin. Cleansing my heart so sweetly within.
