Waterloo Daily Courier (Newspaper) - October 28, 1971, Waterloo, Iowa MINUTE Woman showing car to The fender's been acting up again Established in -4 The Severin Politics With A group of nearly 100 people from 10 northeastern Iowa counties who met at Oelwein the other night to whip up support for routing proposed Interstate Highway 380 from Cedar Rapids to Waterloo via an dogleg of course have a perfect right to advance what they believe to be the interests of their respective com- But there were aspects of this ing that were disturbing Three of the ring leaders were State Senator Tom Riley Cedar Rapids who chaired the meeting State Senator Clifton Lamborn Maquoketa who was listed as co man and State Senator John Walsh Dubuque AT FIRST GLANCE anyone familiar with Iowa raphy would wonder what interest Sen Lamborn a dent of Jackson County or Sen Walsh a resident of buque County could have in the specific routing of Take a look at an Iowa map and it would appear to be inconceivable that anyone from Jackson County located on the Mississippi River almost due east of Cedar Rapids or anyone from Dubuque County to the north would find occasion to travel on no matter which of the three routes is selected So why the great interest by Sen Lamborn and Sen To find an answer to this question you might con- sider the fact that both of these gentlemen along with Sen Riley have exhibited an interest in seeking the Republican nomination for U.S Congressman from the 2nd District THIS CONGRESSIONAL seat is now held by John Culver Cedar Rapids Democrat who many people believe will vacate that position to challenge Jack Miller for a seat in the U.S Senate thus leaving the congressional chair wide open for such ambitious folk as Senators Riley Lamborn or Walsh Of the 10 counties represented at the Independence dogleg meeting all are in the 2nd District with the tion of Buchanan County transferred to the 3rd District by congressional redistricting earlier this year It would be unfortunate if the route of this major way is determined more by political pressures than by where the need is greatest INCIDENTALLY if many of the Northeast Iowa com- represented at the Oelwein meeting would study carefully the Iowa Highway plan for the Iowa network they might conclude that they are working against the best long range interests of the areas they represent For included in the planned tem is an expressway that would be built almost due north of Cedar Rapids going through the heart of area If is built north to Independence it might mean the death of the planned north-south way Only a short tune ago we saw the Amana freeway dropped from Highway Commission plans because it would have paralleled an existing north-south highway just a few miles away THE WATERLOO BLACK HAWKS

restrictions on tration policies in Indochina are removed Dr Henry Kissinger was quoted as saying Thursday The administration would rather have no at all than one which ties its hands on negotiating an end to the war in Indochina Senate can Leader Hugh Scott told newsmen following a breakfast meeting between Kissinger the President's top national ity adviser and a bipartisan group of senators The Pennsylvania Republican said efforts were planned later Thursday to remove two amendments to the foreign aid that the White House finds ob- to cut off funds for all U.S operations in Indochina except withdrawal and one to limit aid to bodia Failure to defeat the two amendments probably would lead to an ed effort to sidetrack the entire which could draw support from senators who support the restrictive amendments but op- pose foreign aid Scott said Kissinger told the senators that if the two ments remain in the he does not see how the President could find it possible to sign it Denies

ments were introduced ing the expulsion of Taiwan from the Monday night Sen Jacob K Javits urged the Senate not to cut funds out of petulance and irritation Regardless of displeasure over the vote and

news agency Tass said in a dispatch from New York that the American proposal was a diversionary maneuver drawn up on terms that are quite unacceptable to Egypt The agency report was the response by either the Russians or the Egyptians to the proposal Secretary of State William P Rogers outlined the plan at the General Assembly earlier this month To Open Suez The plan was primarily de- signed to open the blocked Suez Canal and link an interim agreement with a permanent Middle East solution The Egyptian rejection lows the Kremlin's decision to increase arms shipments to the Arabs Just one week

the Soviets and Egyptians had decided at the Kremlin ings that Rogers terms were being turned down not his over-all idea The Kremlin coupled the re- announcement with a sharp criticism of what it
