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.

Interstate right of way. Owners
of land would be compensated for
giving up their right to lease bill
board space.
State Engineer John Hossack
estimates the control regulation
will permit the state to receive
a bonus of about $1.1 to $12
million.
Employment Practice*
A bill to set up fair employ
ment practices in Nebraska was
killed by a 5-3 vote of the Le
gislature’s Labor and Public Wel
fare Committee.
Introduced by Sen. John Adams
of Omaha, only Negro member of
the Legislature and 7 other law
makers, the bill was designed to
stop any discrimination in em
ployment because of race, color,
religion, national origin or an
cestry. It has shown up frequent
ly during legislative sessions over
the past decade.
Legislative Hearings
The balk of bills introduced in
the Legislature so far this ses
sion will have been given public
hearings by the end of this week.
The exception will be measures
introduced late and the few that
might still be tossed into the hop
per.
Conclusion of all committee
hearings on the proposals will

sions on the floor. 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.
