Friday, January 10, 1975 Lincoln, Neb. Journal 21 Some Catch District Planned mm 1 I 1 i Resource Hearings The Legislature's Agriculture and' Environment Committee will apparently conduct hearings on the activities and expenditures of the state's 24 Natural Resources Dismiss (NRDs). Committee Chairman Loran Schmit of Bellwood said the decision to hold hearings stems from the fact each NRD seems to have a different method of bookeeping, making it difficult to compare the effective use of tax dollars. Staff members of the committee headed by Schmit, who has frequently raised questions about NRDs, have been studying monthly NRD financial reports. Those studies have prompted staff members to raise several questions, such as: Is there conflict of interest when an NRD rents office space in a building owned by the attorney hired by the NRD? Were some NRD projects negotiated rather than advertised for sealed public bids? Is there conflict of interest due to a board member being connected with banks holding NRD funds? Is there anything wrong with purchase of flowers for funerals of members of the board, wives and past officers? One NRD financial report entry that raised eyebrows among committee staff members seemed to indicate an NRD spent funds for feeding wild horses.

But investigation revealed the money was for a flood control project titled Wild Horse Project. Lee Orton, executive director of the Nebraska Assn. of Resources Districts (NARD), cited the Wild Horse Project as an example of why a simple CBS-Lincoln KOLN.

Allen McElvavy, Beatrice State Home social services director, is the organizational leader. reading of financial records can lead to misconceptions about NRD activities. "You have to read the minutes of the meetings as well to determine what the money was spent for," he said.

As'to the fact NRDs do not have uniform accounting procedures, that apparently stems from the fact the state auditor has not yet developed the standard method of auditing outlined in the NRD law. Officials in the auditor's office said the system is expected to be ready for public hearings sometime this month and hopefully will be ready in time for the fiscal 1974-75 annual NRD reports. Schmit denied that his investigation of NRDs and plans to hold hearings on their activities and expenditures stem from any desire to destroy the NRD system. However, he said, he intends to clean up any abuses or sloppy practices that may be found so that NRDs will function better. "If he (Schmit) really means that," commented Orton, "I don't think he will find any real argument from the directors of the districts." Resources Position To Sieck The newly elected board of directors of the Lower Platte South Natural Resources District (NRD) held its first meeting Thursday and deferred for the time being election of officers.

Harold Sieck of Pleasant Dale, formerly chairman, was named temporary chairman. Owen Perry of Malcolm, formerly secretary, was named temporary secretary. Also expected at the February meeting is a recommendation on a replacement for Dr. J. O.

Young. A University of Nebraska professor, Young was reelected to the board in November but has since received a two-year assignment on an NU program in Afghanistan. The board decided that regular monthly meetings will be held the third Wednesday of each month. NRD board members will now be paid $15 for each day a member attends a board meeting or business or other meetings authorized by the board, as well as paid 16c a mile for travel to authorized meetings. 255 'pieces of man-made space debris have returned to Earth from orbit blazing into the atmosphere like meteorites.

Thursday night a fireball, trailing streamers of orange and green light, lit up the skies across three southwestern states, prompting reports of rocket ships, meteor showers and falling "space junk." Reports of the ball of fire came from north central Texas, eastern New Mexico and south' Oklahoma. "We thought it was a big plane going down," said Oklahoma City district fire chief Lawrence Busbee. "It looked like a big ball of fire Vith a huge body. It had twp trails behind it, two tails, really." An air traffic controller in the. Will Rogers World Airport tower in Oklahoma City called it a beautiful sight.

"It looked like the moon, only there were sparks coming out behind it," he said. Dr. Ulrich Herrmann, physics professor and astronomy instructor at the University of Texas-Arlington, said the object was a big piece of metal from outer space. He said it probably was not "space junk" from the Saturn 5 rocket. There has never been an injury recorded from falling man-made space equipment.

Two pieces have been found In Africa and a panel from an Atlas Centaur rocket was discovered on Elcuthera In the Bahamas. A Soviet fishing vessel recovered a piece of the Apollo 7 rocket from the ocean off the coast of Spain. The largest chunk reported was a 640-pound piece of Cosmos 316, a Russian satellite, which was found in Kansas in 1970. Another piece of that satellite was discovered in Wisconsin.

Under the lunch program, the national average payment to states will be increased three-quarters of a cent, from He to 11.5c. The money is to used by the state education agency to help local schools defray costs of each lunch served.

He said the administration has been "too timid" in meeting current problems but added is understandable in light of the danger of starting inflationary pressures' all over again." Peterson said he sees "some hope" for the present recession and inflationary period bottoming out "perhaps by midyear," with a somewhat stronger economy to follow for the second half of 1975'.

He said there is little question the era of cheap energy and cheap food has ended. Better Type Bonn (AP) Gutenberg's printing type was an improvement over the Chinese which was made from wood.

Richard Maresh is ofi the Legislature's Conflict of Interest Committee, a special panel to oversee lawmakers and their financial dealings. Maresh was chosen rather than Falls City Sen. Irving Wiltse. Maresh was chosen Wednesday in a First District Caucus, according to reports, but the Committee on Committees Thursday apparently was told Wiltse was named. Omaha Sen.

John Savage, chairman of the Committee on Committees, said the confusion resulted from a misunderstanding. Wiltse didn't contest the final decision, though he did express reservations about the matter. Job Hunting Omaha Grads Find It Tough Omaha (AP) College graduates in the Omaha area may have a tougher time finding jobs this spring, according to two university placement officers. Even so, they said, the outlook is better than in some parts of the nation. Yvonne Harsh, placement director at the University of Nebraska at Omaha, said companies are still scheduling inter, views with prospective graduates but will undoubtedly come in with few positions to fill.

Earl Winters, placement director at Creighton, said employers in all fields are becoming more selective. "The want people who can walk on water," he-said, "They prefer those who can do it without leaving ripples." Washington Joseph Maeaulay, 50, has been appointed administrative assistant to Congresswoman Virginia Smith of Nebraska's 3rd congressional district. Macaulay's salary as top aide to the new congress-woman will be approximately $31,000, a $5, 000 drop from the salary he commanded as administrative assistant to former house minority whip Les Arends of Illinois. He has had 20 years of Capitol Hill experience including stints as the top assistant to former Iowa Congressman Charles Hoeven and former Dr. Peterson: L975 Probably Not Disaster Houston (UPI) The huge burned out rocket that lifted the Skylab into orbit last May broke into two pieces and dropped lower and lower Friday toward fiery destruction in Earth's atmosphere.

The space agency estimated the huge booster would drop out of orbit sometime during a six-hour period starting at 6:30 p.m. CST, disintegrating into more pieces as it encounters thicker portions of the upper atmosphere. The separation of the 81-foot hulk into two pieces, which apparently occurred during the night, came as a surprise to engineers who did not expect it to start breaking up until later in the day. A smaller piece was trailing the largest section by about three seconds. The break apparently was caused by the buffeting of the thin, top fringes of the atmosphere.

"That's all to the good because the more it breaks up, the more likely each piece will be burned completely away," said a NASA spokesman in Washington. The second stage of the Saturn 5 rocket that orbited the Skylab space station in May 1973 was the largest piece of space debris ever to reach orbit. It was as tall as an eight story building and weighed 83,500 pounds. The space agency said some pieces of the booster may survive the heat of atmospheric friction during re-entry and strike the Earth. But chances are they would fall in an ocean and officials said the odds were remote that anyone would be injured.

The Skylab itself is smaller than the rocket stage that propelled it into orbit. The station is expected to remain in or-' bit until 1981. The Air Force said at least 4, Omaha (UPI) While 1975 probably won't be a good one economically, it should not be a disastrous year, Dr. Wallace Peterson, head of the University of Nebraska Economics said here Wednesday night. "This is still an enormously productive land," Peterson told 65 members of the Nebraska Association of Purchasing Management.

"If we can turn the economy around and start producing again, the recession i will soon end." He warned, however, that it would take time to get the economy going again and said one sure way of achieving that would be for the administration to cut taxes. "It's no longer a question of cutting taxes, but a question of how much and when," Peterson declared. He said he advocated a cut in income and Social Security taxes, at least for lower-income groups.
