38 counties. ...,, , c ,
The law in question is LB33, passe-J over fcxon s veto
by the 1977 Legislature. It would raise state school aid

Meany for treaty
Washington -AFL-CIO President George Meany en
dorsed the new Panama Canal treaty Monday, giving
President Carter a powerful ally in his drive for ratifi
cation of the treaty.
Meany told a press conference that American involve
ment in the canal, built "in the days of gunboat dip.
lomacy " is nothing to be proud of, and there is no
reason "why we should, lay claim to territory . . . 6,000
miles away."
Epileptics
Washington-The nation's two million epileptics suffer
from job discrimination, inadequate medical and social
services and prejudice that can be countered only with a
federaDy backed national effort, a major 18-month study
concluded. The report released Monday was commission
ed by Congress to bring together for the first time all
ramifications of epilepsy. It contains more than 400
recommendations for government and private agencies
in a plan for national action. -
Abortion payments
The State Department of Public Welfare Monday
outlined a regulation restricting Medicaid payments fur
abortions. It tentatively plans to make it effective Thurs
day. '
"I'm shooting now for Sept. 1, effectively," Welfare
Director Eldin Ehrlich said. He had announced the gen-'
eral aspects of the restriction earlier, but language de
tails were not final then.
The new regulation restricts Medicaid payments for
abortions to those cases in which a prospective mother's
life is endangered or when a pregnancy stems from rape
or incest.
