A Gallup poll shows 55 percent oppose universal registration and 40 percent support it with 53 percent of Democrats, 49 percent of independents, and 40 percent of Republicans in opposition. The piece argues open polling risks fraud and criticizes relying on excuses like inability to register.
State Senator Redmond of Cedar Rapids earns commendation for guiding a bill through the senate with one opposing vote. The measure protects minority shareholders in takeovers by requiring public notice of tender offers and extending the acceptance window to 26 days. The bill also limits company officers from voting their own shares and requires at least one fourth of shares to be voted before a corporate decision. Proxies by small shareholders would be allowed, and the bill awaits House passage and Governor Ray's signature.
A National Business magazine May profile stars William Alton Carter III, not President Carter, drawing a nuanced picture of Billy as a conscientious businessman rather than a rustic stereotype. The piece notes his banter and beer habit while asserting his professionalism and public misperception.
A critic argues Nixon failed to use the Frost interview to acknowledge actions at the White House and Watergate. He claims Nixon avoided candor and did not clearly defend or explain cover up motives or stonewalling. The piece notes the missed opportunity to sway public opinion with forthright truth.
The vice president Walter Mondale voices concern that a push for a balanced budget in the Carter administration shifts fiscal policy rightward. Internal White House dissent grows as budget adviser Bert Lance leads the drive, while Mondale and Schultze align with Keynesian limits. Congressional leaders warn of a coming clash over budget prerogatives and fiscal integrity.
Rose Palraquist, Alaska retiree coordinator, cites five senior support options: property tax relief for 85 plus homeowners or renters, $128 monthly longevity payments for 65 plus residents with continued Alaska residence, income tax exemption on private pensions, free university and community college courses for residents over 60, and free Alaska ferry travel between ports from November to April.
A reader letter cites Alaska elder benefits under old American acts and Iowa's reliance on federal programs for aging needs. The piece criticizes state tax and rent relief, praises Pioneer Home options, and questions U S aid to Africa and Cold War alliances.
The letter from a father to his unborn child, printed in the Gazette on May 2, expresses deep emotion and reverence. The writer believes such words reflect feelings many fathers cannot voice and praises the father for his loving, warm, Christian nature.
