State Capitol News Patient - Release Policy Under Study LINCOLN — The release sys tem used at the Beatrice state home where the mentally retard ed live, is going- to get a study. The board of control has di rected Dr. Cecil Wittson, state mental health director, to make a survey on the release of patients. Some persons had been saying 20 25 percent of the children in the institution could be released if given proper guidance. State Sen. Dwight Burney of Hartington, speaker during the 1955 session, said in- Omaha he understands the percentage is high. But Wittson said the 25 per cent figure is “entirely too high.” However, he said experience in other places “certainly indicates that we can do a lot more about mental troubles than we have been able to do before.” The number of patients at the institution has climbed from 1,647 in 1950 to 2,147. M. E. Wyant, newly-named su perintendent of the home, said he plans a “complete survey of our release program so that we may determine the possible recom mendations which can be made to the board of control and the legislature in order to expedite the release of any eligible boy or girl.” Wyant, formerly business man ager of the home, pledged cooper ation with the board, Wittson and the advisory board for the insti tution. Blind School Visits— The board of control hopes tc visit three schools for the blinc in other states shortly after the first of the year. Members hope to visit schools at Kansas City, Kans., St. Louis Mo., and Little Rock, Ark. Board Engineer Carl Botsford probably will accompany the board. Harold Peterson, board admin istrative assistant, said “it is ne cessary that the board make these visits in order to get good under standing of what type structure should be provided for Nebraska blind children.” Nebraska’s blind school is lo cated at Nebraska City and the location was the center of much controversy during the last ses sion of the legislature. * * * School Referendum— A referendum for Nebraska public school employees will be conducted Friday and Saturday, under the supervision of state tax Commissioner Fred Herrington. Herrington said if the referen dum carries on whether teachers want social security, his five field men will instruct the more than 11,000 employees on how to file reports with his office. The only school employees, who will not vote are those in the Omaha public school sys tem and at the University of Omaha and the University of Nebraska. Employees there recently favor ed social security by large major ities. Herrington said ballots for the referendum must be postmarked not later than Saturday, Decem ber 17. Results of the balloting wall be known about the first of the year, he said. * * * New Hospital Head— Dr. Jack Arlington Wolford, 38, Warren, Pa., is the new head of the Hastings state hospital. He succeeds Dr. G. Lee Sandritter, a center of controversy and severe critic of Nebraska’s mental health program. Wolford will get $16,000 a year. He has been senior clinical direc tor at the Warren State hospital. Wolford will leave Warren for the Hastings position February 15. The new superintendent is the first of the heads of mental hos pitals in Nebraska to hold a certi fication by the American Board of Neurology and Psychiatry. Dr. Cecil Wittson, mental health director, said Wolford “is an outstanding man and already has proven himself in institutional work. He has built up a good staff and a good program at War ren.” * * * Polio Money Deadline— A deadline for Nebraska to spend money for Salk Polio vac cine is drawing near. Nebraska has received 55,000 shots of the vaccine and another 8,700 are earmarked for the state. • Too Late to Classify FOUND: Wrist watch on street in O’Neill.
