County Zoning Change Okay Hit by Wiley
DES MOINES A bill to restrict county zoning officials from probing farmers personal affairs passed the senate 7 to 10 and goes to the house. Sen. Martin Wiley opposed the measure saying it could enable farm adjacent residents to start trailer courts while keeping land for agricultural use. The bill would strike six words from Sec. 358A.2, exempting farms from certain regulations as a primary livelihood.

Iowans for Progress Competing Groups Share Name
Two Iowa groups both call themselves Iowans for Progress and pursue different agendas. One led by C. M. Bassile of Cedar Rapids supports liquor by the drink and grass roots lobbying, the other allied against the Sunday closing bill and represented at the legislature by R. M. Dyer of Wisconsin Dells. The liquor group appears to have used the name first, while the anti Sunday closing faction formally incorporated the title later with Secretary of State Melvin D. Synhorst.
