Gov. Robert Ray asked Iowa national guard officials to delay action on leasing land at Camp Dodge to Hyperion Field Country Club for ten tennis courts. Guardsmen from several southeast Iowa communities are terracing timber land at taxpayer expense as part of summer training. The plan would lease the land for about $1 yearly, giving the guard access to the courts as a recreational facility, with possible revocation if needed for other purposes. Estimated private construction cost is $70,000. Ray may ask executive council to approve the lease. no final agreement exists, and the project aims to stabilize eroded ravine and provide training value. Guardsmen come from Fairfield, Ottumwa, Centerville, Mt. Pleasant, Burlington, and Keokuk.
