Commenting on reports that federal agencies have banned or curtailed "coffee breaks," For rest Stewart, manager of the Ore gon State Employes Association, said the few complaints he re ceived were directed at state em ployes on the supervisory leveL He explained there are no rules and regulations governing the rest periods of state workers, but department heads agree that the time out for coffee is necessary to maintain efficiency. Sen. Howard C. Belton, Canby, who used to be the severest crit ic of the practices said "the sit uation around the capitol ap pears to have been greatly re stricted from that of a few years ago." Belton referred to a condition in the old state office building, where a snack bar on the main floor often gave visitors ' an er roneous impression that state employes drink coffee all the time. This snack bar has been moved up to the fifth floor. Secretary of State Earl T. New- bry, who runs the biggest depart ment in the capitol, said the 15 minute "breaks" a day had the approval of the state board of control, and that the privilege was being controlled satisfactor ily. "Each department head Is charged with vigilance to prevent abuses," Newbry explained. "There are bound . to be come, of course, but by close supervis ion, they can be kept at a mini mum." The governor's office said It had no serious complaints, and assumed state employes aren't abusing the privilege. MRS.
