Iowa faces enforcement issues with 60 foot trucks
State Highway Commission warns that 60 foot truck combinations may be illegal on Iowa roads under 22 feet wide. The 1963 law raises length to 60 feet on certain highways starting July 4, but preserves a 50 foot limit on any paved road under 22 feet wide. Eastbound trucks from the west may encounter narrower roads and require route planning to avoid violations.

Kennedy seeks civil rights power limits in new request
President Kennedy stopped short of asking Congress to grant the attorney general sweeping authority in civil rights, while Southern Democrats oppose both this request and a proposed law to curb private business discrimination. The sequence traces back to 1957 and 1960 gains in federal voting rights enforcement and court injunctions, with the 1967 act expanding the attorney general’s reach earlier.

Kennedy Puts Broader Civil Rights Plan Before Congress
Kennedy asks Congress to empower the attorney general to seek injunctions against segregated schools and press for voluntary compliance in business discrimination. He notes slow progress since 1967 with 38 voting rights suits and ongoing denial of Black voters in about 100 counties across eight Southern states. He then travels to Bonn to meet Willy Brandt and Ludwig Erhard before touring Hanau.
