Asphalt and concrete backers clash in legislative tilt
In a heated session Iowa legislators faced claims from asphalt and concrete backers about industry interests and political pressure. Cobb accused Nolan of using laws to aid Portland cement while witnesses testified about alleged influence attempts at Lundy's home in 1954 and 1955. The probe stirred party lines as Nolan denied meetings, and lawmakers debated the scope of the interim committee's investigation. Governor Hughes also signed a reapportionment bill expanding the legislature and praised bipartisan leadership.
