Ford Plan on Highway Funds Endorsed by Ray
Des Moines Iowa Gov Robert D Ray endorsed President Ford's plan to redirect the federal highway program. The proposal would shift one cent of the gasoline tax to states and keep one cent of the remaining three in the highway trust fund while two cents go to the general treasury. Ray said the extra cent would generate 9 8 million for Iowa and he would not back a higher state gasoline tax. He supported using the general fund for transportation on a state by state basis.

Doctor Quits Clinic to Join Navy Amid Bank Dispute
Dr. Rafael A. Roure plans to close his $500,000 clinic in Glenwood and join the U.S. Navy after a dispute with Mills County State Bank over a $95,000 loan. The bank accuses Roure of defaulting by not selling assets as agreed. Roure counters with a suit for fees and lost earnings. He will serve as a doctor at a New Orleans base, leaving Mills County with limited local medical coverage.

It notes the city can prescribe functions and operations and that charter status does not change this.
