Gov Ray Calls Two Democrats' Taxes Remarks “Quite an Act”
Des Moines Iowa Governor Robert Ray labels Roxanne Conlin and Lynn Cutler as "quite an act" over tax positions. Conlin disclosed paying no state income tax in 1981 while Cutler echoed a stockbroker's remark that if opponent Cooper Evans paid $116000 in taxes he is "too dumb to be in Congress." Ray commented on the contrasting stances, saying "it's something to listen to."

Ray unhappy with Shultz stance on Soviet grain sales
Iowa Gov. Robert Ray says he is unhappy with Secretary of State designate George Shultz remarks that a long term grain sales agreement with the Soviet Union would send the wrong signal.
