MARSHALL AUTHOR OF NEW IOWA TITLE OPINION AND STANDARDS VOLUME All members of the Association will have by this time received information about the new volume entitled Iowa Title Opinions and Standards, Annotated, prepared by Jesse E. Marshall, Sioux City, Iowa, Chairman of the Title Standards Committee, and published by the Allen Smith Company, 340 East Market Street, Indianapolis 4, Indiana. This volumb contains the full text of the Iowa Title Standards adopted by the Association, with annotations, explanatory footnotes, and cross references. Every member of the Association should also know that Mr. Marshall is donating all of the net royalties accruing to him from the sale of the book to the Iowa State Bar Foun- dation and is accepting no personal profit from the book in any way. The Iowa State Bar Foundation is deeply grateful to Mr. Marshall for this most gener- ous gesture, which is in keeping with his many years of service to the Association and the Bar generally, as Chairman of the Title Standards Committee, and a recipient of the Award of Merit of The Iowa State Bar Association. NEWS ABOUT FORMS Form No. 21.2-Real Estate Contract (Short Form) With this issue of THE NEWS BULLE- TIN is a sample copy of Official Form No. 21.2. This is the fourth form to cover real estate contracts (See forms 20, 21 and 26). Charles Cornwell, Ed Morrison, Jr., and Ray Emmert have produced this proposed form. With Ed McNeil they believe there is a place for a shorter, simpler installment real estate contract form with a lot of extra space to tailor the terms. We are all confident that this will be a best seller, Also, Form No. , --Claim for Attor- ney's Fees in Criminal Cases--should now be in the hands of every Judge and every District Court Clerk in Iowa. This form should focus attention upon Code Sections which may provide for more adequate compensation for the young lawyer in an area where com- pensation is ordinarily meager. Respectfully submitted, Arthur D. Peterson, Burlington J. G. (Gus) Johnson, Oelwein Robert R. Eidsmoe, Sioux City Ray Emmert, Des Moines Charles E. Cornwell, Mason City Judge G. Belvel Richter, Waukon Ed D. Morrison, Jr., Washington Chairman on Court Forms Wilbur J. Bridges, Des Moines, Chairman Committee on Legal Forms FIRST IMPLEMENTING STATUTE PASSES SENATE PROBATE BILL.

This bill is one of three submitted by The Iowa State Bar Association to the Six- tieth General Assembly to implement the Ju- dicial Amendment. An of this writing the bill is now in the hands of the House Committee an.Judiciary 1. The other two bills to implement the Judicial Amendment, as heretofore referred to in pre- vious issues of the NEWS BULLETIN, consisting of (1) a statute relating to nominating com- missions, etc., and (2) a statute with respect to the mandatory retirement of judges, are as of this writing still being considered by the Judiciary 1 Committee of the Senate. It is anticipated that the Probate Bill, now on the Senate calendar, will be voted on soon. H. F. 264, a bill fixing mandatory retirement age, is now on the House calendar awaiting action. The bill as introduced by the House committee, fixes the mandatory retirement age for judges at 75 years. In all other respects it is identical with the bill recom- mended by The Iowa State Bar Association. All members of the Association will be kept informed of the progress being made by bul- letin direct from the Association Headquar- ters office.
