State Capitol News . . . Salk Supply Brightens LINCOLN — Nebraska can’t spend all the federal money it is to receive for purchasing Salk polio vaccine for persons who can’t pay for shots. That’s the report from Allen Rouse, director of the polio di vision in the state department of c health. Rouse said Nebraska was allo cated $245,000 originally to buy vaccine for all residents, up to February 15. Then the method of getting vaccine to doctors was changed. Previously, the state handled all the vaccine, parceling it to doctors. Now, 90 percent of the vaccine goes through commer cial drug houses, and 10 percent throught the department. The state has $168,000 of the federal money left and is to get about $225,000 more. The unused money, Rouse said, will revert to the federal government. He said the amount that goes to a state is not affected by the method of distribution. The state will get the same amount now that it got before. Salk vaccine is now going through commercial channels and Rouse said the outlook is brighter than at any time in the past. At least 46,800 doses of the vaccine will be received or are earmarked for Nebraska this month. Rouse said that is by far the largest amount ever reached. “The predictions there would be quite a lot more vaccine avail able in March and April appar ently will hold true,” he said. a * * ■ School Lands— There are about 412,745 acres of school land under oil and gas & leases. Robert Hiatt, secretary of the board of educational lands and funds, which administers school lands, said the leases are bring ing in rental of $358,964 per year. This averages out at about 87 cents per acre rent, Hiatt said. Hiatt said at last count there were 51 producing wells on state owned land, bringing royalties to Nebraska of about $36,000 per month. # * * Judges Retirement— The long-awaited ruling by state supreme court on the judges’ retirement act passed by the last legislature caused con siderable comment. The high court held the law, requiring judges to retire at the age of 70, was constitutional. But, it said the law does not become effective until January 3, 1957. It did not become law last September 18, the court said. On the theory that the act be came effective last September, along with most other laws pass ed by the legislature, district court clerks began collecting a $1 fee on each civil case as the state’s contribution to the judges retirement fund. Those collections at the time of the option amounted to $2,564. In addition, judges themselves have paid in $5,844, or four per cent of their earnings. Intensely interested in the case were nine district judges, seven of whom had filed for re election, and two who had not. The latter ones, James Fitzger ald of Omaha and Frank Mon day of Red Cloud, had intended not to file for re-election be cause they thought the law was effective. Now, however, they will seek re-election. The other seven judges, all of whom are 70 or will be after the first of the year, can run for re-election un der the supreme court ruling. The question of what to do with the money already collect ed will probably be decided by the attorney - general’s office. Primarily the matter to be solv ed is if the money can be re funded, or if this will require an act of the legislature. * * * New Face— A new face has joined the top levels of the republican party in Nebraska. It is in the person of T. H. Maenner of Omaha. He is the new GOP national committee man for Nebraska. He will be the connecting link between the state and national republican party orgaizations.

Quarantine Order Requires Form The Wyoming quarantine or der, which stated that all hay, straw, or fodder being shipped into Wyoming must be inspected and found to be free of the nox ious weeds listed before being shipped, also required that an inspection form accompany the bill of lading.

In other words, you are now free to ship hay into Wyoming as before the quaran tine order.
