Transmission Lines Rule Sparks Interstate Funds Clash
Federal official Rex Whitton ruled that Iowa would lose all federal highway funds if transmission lines were placed along the interstate right of way. The Iowa Highway Commission plans to appeal, while Iowa Power and Light denounces the move as an overreach threatening the highway program. Protests echo national politics as Rockefeller assails urban affairs plans and farm program coercion. Local notes include community visits, church groups, and school activities amid this wider dispute.
