Des Moines Freeway Route Plans Unveiled by State Panel
The Iowa State Highway Commission outlined a 55 million dollar Des Moines freeway plan with a 13.4 mile route. The path crosses multiple golf courses and streets, links I 35 and I 80 north of the city, includes 19 interchanges, 40 grade separations, and a 36 foot median. It would halve rural driving times into Des Moines, using 4 to 6 lanes and will require about 1,800 land parcels for right of way. Funding covers 90 percent federal urban interstate support with $6.7 million set aside to begin acquisitions pending final approval.

District Judge James P. Gaffney issued a permanent injunction prohibiting picketing by the Cedar Rapids Building Trades Council on two Iowa City construction jobs Regina high school and Mercy hospital addition projects near completion. The action follows a temporary injunction from Sept 27 1957 and a prior restraining order against the Teamsters local from Oct 8 1957.

The plumbing firm Frantz Construction Company says Teamsters refused to handle its shipments.
