Red Cross Probes School Board Card Distribution
A special Red Cross committee meeting was called to investigate the distribution of campaign cards at polls day in Potawatomi County.

Delays Threaten Iowa State Fair Return Plan
Iowa officials warn the centennial state fair may be canceled if Washington does not settle the return of fairgrounds by April 1. Negotiations since December 15 on the grounds' transfer, used since 1942 as an air force storage depot, have stalled after a tentative $535,400 settlement and a further engineering breakdown request. Air corps clearance is ahead of schedule and could be finished by May 1, but redeveloping work will wait until final settlement. The last fair was 1941 with plans for a 1942 exposition to mark statehood centennial.

Fanciful star gazing blamed for lumber shortage
Prank M Lane and secretary of the Tawa Roetallera Lumbermen's association blame two government agencies and Dr Truman's star gazing ideas for a serious U S lumber shortage. They fault the OPA and the price admin for red tape and argue higher prices on house items would drive building. They oppose subsidies and say more timber would be used if dealers faced price changes. About 100 dealers registered for the two day Southwestern Town Lumbermen's convention session.
