Four Democrats Nominated for Iowa State Posts by Gov Hughes
Gov. Harold Hughes sent four Democratic appointments to the Iowa senate for confirmation. William E. Timmons of Dubuque to a second four year term as insurance commissioner, Melvin H. Wolf of Waterloo to a six year term on the board of regents, Mike F. Zack of Mason City to a six-year term on the conservation commission, and Louis P. Culver of Dunlap to a second six-year term on the natural resources council. Wolf, a former state senator, was Hughes’ running mate last fall and may affect the board’s leadership as a possible replacement for chairman Harry Hagemann. The moves shift the nine-member board toward a Democratic majority starting July 1.
