Iowa Bond Drive Lags Nationally Amid War-Effort Push
State and national bonds sales lag as July 8 marks the end of the latest drive. Officials urge more individuals to buy Series E bonds to support the war, noting young servicemen sacrifice while funds are loaned by citizens. The Iowa delegation faces a contest for national committeeman and committeewoman, with several challengers to the current names. A school code commission report to Governor Hickenlooper outlines 20 bills for 1945 and a 437 page draft from 1948 is noted as too long to advance now.
