Iowa Senate Shifts Mental Health Commitment Process
Senator Leo Elthon proposes directing Iowa insanity commitments through the University of Iowa psychopathic hospital before placement in the four state mental hospitals. The plan would require extra university facilities but aims to reduce state costs by improving diagnosis and care for hundreds of mentally ill patients rather than just feeding and clothing them.

Bills Seek Clear Rules On State Deposits Handling
In Iowa two senate bills aim to end overlap between the state treasurer and the comptroller over where deposits and revenues clear. Current practice mixes duties, confusing auditors and the public. Treas. John M. Grimes and Comptroller C. Fred Porter support clarifying reforms, with one bill giving the comptroller the deposits duty and the other keeping it with the treasurer.

Obsolete Iowa Laws Targeted by Rep Bryson
Rep C A Bryson of Iowa Falls calls for removing old unenforced statutes from the Iowa code to avoid printing two volumes this year. He cites laws prohibiting Sunday sales of a newspaper or milk, or ice cream, as examples of laws that should be cleaned up if unenforceable. He notes about 14 000 sections exist and a reprint has not occurred due to paper shortages, with laws from 1941 and 1943 sessions awaiting addition.
