The piece argues Harold Hughes should be credited for recognizing the impracticality of a draft Hughes White House run. It notes his 1971 presidential bid and 1972 convention stance, citing his pacifist beliefs and moral restraint as barriers to a national war commitment, urging boosters to heed his stance before pushing a draft Hughes campaign.
In Martinsburg West Virginia entrepreneur Bruce Van Wyk seeks a 1.2 million UDAG loan for a 167 room Hilton Sheraton style motel. Hotelier Frank Supik argues the grant violates the Constitution Commerce and General Welfare Clauses and could imperil his Holiday Inn. The town awaits HUD decision while locals weigh free enterprise against public subsidy.
The letter argues civil rights laws expanded after slavery but warns against anti busing and anti affirmative action efforts led by some in Congress and supported by Reagan. It recalls Carter and Reagan positions and urges voters to contact representatives to defend desegregation progress. The writer condemns a pork promotion criticized as feeding media over the hungry.
A reader criticizes Iowa Electric's 1982 net income rising 30 percent to 28.8 million citing rate increases by the State Commerce Commission.
