Missouri voters may approve a measure banning union membership or dues as a condition of employment. The state campaign clashes with the National Right to Work Committee over strategy and funding, while supporters urge a direct referendum path to make Missouri the 21st right to work state.
A landowner warns the Iowa Conservation Commission could condemn his property to complete the Indian Bluffs Wilderness Area project by March 1 1979. He supports preservation but argues condemnation is unnecessary to protect much of the wilderness character and wildlife habitat of the Maquoketa River area.
The landowner pledges to preserve wilderness areas including the river corridor and restrict timber cutting without district forester consent. He proposes a writt en scenic easement to the Conservation Commission in lieu of condemnation and urges others in the project to join, seeking acceptance or public justification for rejection.
A reader challenges William Hakill's Outlooks on future energy, citing Weyerhaeuser replanting, developing coal, oil glut, Mexico and Alaska oil, and solar power as inexhaustible. The letter urges reconsideration and notes a nearby column titled Cynicism is too much with us.
A reader questions the Palo energy project at Duane Arnold, asking how many signed for it and who surveyed counties about it. The piece argues customers should not pay for construction hazards, outages, repairs, or higher IE bills, comparing to a taxi rider and fuel costs.
A Harris survey of 1201 adults finds 65 percent believe Egypt and Israel will sign a separate peace and 53 percent expect Jordan to make peace after.

A wide edge backs continued Israeli control of Jerusalem with open access for Arabs and Christians.
President Carter faces a veto dilemma over a hastily passed meat import bill. The plan would create a countercyclical quota adjuster but limit presidential flexibility, risking policy missteps seen in June when a 200 million pound increase sparked market signals. The piece argues the bill should be rejected now, with possible future enactment when politics are quieter.
Iowa State University has rebuilt its football program with a new stadium, stronger boosters, and leadership from President Hilton and Clay Stapleton. Key figures include Mal Schmidt and Coach Majors, whose efforts helped attract blue chip recruits and restore fan support.
A massage instructor thanks Mr. Fatka for discussing the subject and cautions against gimmicks.
