Iowa Legislature Faces Daylight Saving Time Vote
Iowa lawmakers in 1965 show strong support for statewide Daylight Saving Time.

Some favor June 1 to Oct 1 while others push for consistent statewide use. Peter Hansen plans a bill to adopt June 1 to Oct 1 for school start alignment. Burrows calls for one time for all or legality across the state.
