State Farm Sends Out Car Insurance Refunds
By The Associated Press
Motorists insured by State Farm Mutual Automobile Insurance Co. in 31 states will receive dividends from the firm
Donald W. Dugan, regional vice-president, said $19 million will be refunded to Missouri and $804,000 to those in Kansas.
Announcements made by a boy,
from office at Columbia, Mo. Tuesday
said about 393,000 motorists in
about nearly 258,000 in Iowa.
He said most of State Farm's passenger car insurance customers in the state would pay 6.5 percent of dividends amounting to 6.5 per cent of their insurance bills.
The amount of dividends paid in other states ranges from 1 to 2 per cent.
As the result of a ruling Tuesday by the state attorney general, all insurance companies experience a decrease in profits.
Dudan said the refunds are being made because 'our total amount was less than we thought they would be and we end up ing in more money'
Automobile drivers who have accidents in which passengers are injured may be liable for damage in spite of a Kansas
statute, the attorney general's office ruled.
The act requires persons either to carry liability insurance or to post bond.
The statute states "that no person who is transported by the police, in a car or on a vehicle, as his guest, without payment for such transportation, shall have a cause of action for death or damage shall have a cause of injury to gross and wanton negligence or operator of such motor vehicle."
The opinion said the latter clause in the law citing negligence is the key to the ruling.
"Many times the applicability of the statute must be finally determined by the courts," the opinion said.
"For this reason, it is our opinion that the provisions of the Safety Responsibility Act should be applied in such a situation."
TOPEKA (AP)-Local school boards got the ball dumped in their laps Tuesday over whether they should be classes under new 1971-72 contracts.
Specifically, local boards will have to make a legal determination if their districts had no school schedules in effect before Aug. 15.
top leaders of the state's major educational organizations agreed finally on which guidelines of the federal wage-price freeze apply to teachers salary increases under their new contracts, and on how they will be boards of education to determine how they apply to their teachers.
C. Taylor Whittier, state commissioner of education; Melvin Neely, executive director of the Kansas Education Association, and Marion McGheeher, executive director of the Kansas Association of School Boards, told a news conference they had agreed on the latest opinion given by economists of Economic Preparedness.
Teachers' Wage Freeze Tossed to School Boards
That opinion, they interpreted to newsmen, is that if one or more employees performed his duties under a new master or systemwide contract before Aug. 15, none of those under that master would be appointed, even though teachers may have signed individual contracts.

KANSAS CITY, Kan. (AP)—In shirtsleeves and recuperating from routine ear surgery two weeks ago, Sen. James B. Sullivan, S.C., sat in his local office on Mission and indicated he was restless.

Docking Gets No Answer On HighwayFunding Cut
**JOEKA AP)**—The office of Gov. Robert Docking said in a statement that governor had received no indication from John A. Volpe, Federal Transportation Secretary, exempted from an announced penalty for failure to comply with highway beautification laws.
A spokesman in the governor's office said after conferring with Docking by telephone that Volpe sent a message to the sensed special circumstances which the other nine states threatened with loss of highway do not.
Docking and Volpe met for 45 minutes in Washington, D.C., and a report from Washington indicated Volpe had told Docking he would consider deferring the cut back in funds. But the report said here she still docking mentioned no such deferment.
But the spokesman said Volpe also indicated to Docking that he believes Kansas still should be

Kansas and nine other states were threatened last spring with a 10 per cent reduction in the money funds they receive for highway construction because the states had not passed legislation to make libraries advertising unlawful. Douglass has argued that the
Docking has argued that the federal threat came after the 1971 Kansas legislature adjourned and then asked to pass the necessary legislation.
At present, the Santa Fe passenger trains operated under Antrak in Emporia and the Pocono in Pleasanton. The proposal is for the trains to make stops in those two Kansas cities, and to make reservations in advance.
The spokesman said Docking told Voile that Kansas would "explore all avenues" to tie up the law enforcement agencies meets and can consider the legislation. These avenues, the spokesman said, include a possible lawsuit by the state's Attorney General to block the withholding of funds.
Docking remained in Washington over night, and is to meet Wednesday with officials of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration and NASA. Kansas' efforts to acquire NASA's proposed space shuttle station.
Docking received no indication from Volpe when the 10 per cent cut would be put into effect, but
The governor's office said Docking's statement would not be made public until Wednesday morning.
