purpose of having an open hearing.
Also unsuccessful was a moition to
recall from Che committee on medi
cal affairs a bill providing that Viar-
riage licenses shall not be issued un
til 24 hours after the filing of an ap
plication, and until a physician has
certified that both contracting par
ties are free of venereal disease.
Members of the committee opposed
the motion to have the bill brought
out on the grounds that a public
hearing on the bill was scheduled by
the committee for the following
week. , t
Roll call votes were taken on two
of the-issues considered by the senate.
By a vote of 20 to 9 the senate adopt
ed and sent to the house for consid
eration a bill requiring that persons
wishing to transfer ownership of
cars must give the highway depart
ment information as to what mort
gages he has put on the car. Those
opposing the measure stated that it
would not accomplish the purpose for
which it was intended, namely, to I
protect the buyer from getting a car
that has been mortgaged in several
different towns without his knowl
edge. Senator Long of Laurens voted
against the passage of the bill.
A 17 to 14 roll call vote killed the
bill which would have enabled retired
judges to practice law in a limited
way. Senator Long voted to kill the
bill.
Among action taken by the senate
during the week was the adoption
of a resolution to investigate college
degrees issued to teachers under the
certification act and to provide thqt
no degree from colleges not meeting
the State Board of Education stand
ards be used in fixing salaries.
Adoptecj by the senate and sent to
the house was a bill providing an
additional year to hospitals to come
up to the minimum standards pro
vided in a bill passed last year.
A majority report from the com
mittee investigating the department
of agriculture stated that “no evi
dence of dishonesty, waste, or ineffi-
ciency" was found. “However, a~ mT-
nority report stated that Commis
sioner of Agriculture J. Roy Jones
and Deputy Agriculture Commission
er Chovine Sprott “sold the labor of
state employees for cash to put in
their pockets,’’ in referring to a seed
grading laboratory that was operated
by the department.
When the senate adjourned for the
week, the election of senate members
to the state reorganization commis
sion was scheduled for the following
Wednesday.
