Texas Brucellosis Quarantine Delayed Until January 9
The U.S. Department of
Agriculture (USDA) announced
Friday (Jan. 2) that it is
delaying the effective date of its
federal brucellosis quarantine
on Texas from Jan. 5 until Jan.
9.
According to officials of
USDA's Animal and Plant
Health Inspection Service
(APHIS), the quarantine is
being postponed because of a
temporary 10-day restraining
order issued Dec. 30 by Judge
J.T. Boyd of the state's 64th
Judicial District Court in Castro
County, Texas. The temporary
restraining order requires the

mission to bring the Texas
brucellosis program into
compliance with the
cooperative state-federal
brucellosis program.
A hearing on the state court
action is scheduled for Jan. 8 in
Dimmitt, Texas.
Issuance of the temporary
restraining order by the state
court means that Texas of-
ficials must comply with the
uniform methods and rules of
the national brucellosis
eradication program for the
duration of the order, according
to Dr. John M. Hejl, APHIS
deputy administrator for
veterinary services. Therefore,
in view of the state court's
action and the forthcoming Jan.
8 hearing, the effective date of
the federal quarantine is being
postponed until Jan. 9, he said.
Dr. Hejl also said that
through Jan. 8 APHIS will
continue to cooperate with
Texas in carrying out the
brucellosis program, including
the payment of indemnities to
owners of infected cattle.

TEC
News
While paying out record-
breaking amounts of unem-
ployment insurance benefits in
the past fiscal year, the Texas
Employment Commission still
managed to find jobs for more
than 400,000 unemployed
Texans.
The jobless benefits paid
from the Texas Unemployment
Compensation Fund in the year
ending last August 31 amounted
to $167,347,622, the Commission
said in its recent annual report.
Not included in that total was
$65,755,538 in federally-funded
unempioyment benefits paid
because of prolonged unem-
ployment resulting from ad-
verse economic conditions.
Commission employees made
413,583 job placements during
the year, at the same time
handling the heaviest unem-
ployment claim load in the
history of the agency and
performing the other regular
responsibilities of the agency.
Although job placements
declined slightly during the
year because of employment
cutbacks, the TEC emphasis on
increased services to Texas
employers and on the
placement of applicants in
productive employment
remained evident. The agency
made 1,334,390 referrals to jobs.
Veterans were hired for 92,135
of these job openings.
At the end of the fiscal year,
more Texas employers were
covered by the Texas Unem-
ployment Compensation Act
than ever before-207,631, up
5,783 from the previous fiscal
year. These employers paid
$15.6 billion dollars in taxable
wages to workers in the year
ending June 30, 1975.
In spite of national economic
problems, the Texas labor force
registered a 3.2 per cent gain
from August, 1974, reaching an
estimated 5,367,900 workers.
Federal Supplemental
Benefits (FSB), created by
Congress to assist unem-
ployment benefit claimants who
have exhausted their regular
benefits, came to an end in
Texas January 3, 1976.
"This is not tc be confused
with the Texas Employment
Commission's regular unem-
ployment benefits program,
which remains unchanged,"
says Henry Rothell, Ad-
ministrator of the Commission.
Under Federal statute, the
FSB program became
inoperative after January 3,
1976 in any state whose rate of
insured unemployment is less
than 5 per cent. The insured
unemployment rate in Texas
for November was 1.7 per cent.
Claimants who qualified for
Federal Supplemental Benefits
on or before January 3, 1976,
can continue to draw these
benefits on claims dated
through April 10, 1976.
Those claimants who
qualified for Federal Sup-
plemental Benefits on or before
January 3 and who have not
drawn all of their benefits, will
be notified in January of the
April 10 deadline on claims.
No Federal Supplemental
Benefits will be paid in Texas
