Iowa GOP Makes Ready for Campaigns
Iowa Republicans prepare for the 1956 campaigns buoyed by a family dinner and a hoped farm price rise. Key events may ease prospects if Eisenhower runs again and farm prices improve. Revenue receipts in 1955 reached $552,632,350 in Iowa, with holding taxes and social payments the major contributions. Bank deposits fell while loans rose in the first ten months of 1955. Two Democrats announced for attorney general and secretary of state, while Republicans added incumbents in several offices. William Greiner becomes assistant secretary to the soil conservation committee, with headquarters in Des Moines. Corn allotments for 1956 are under way and base-acre plans are being prepared, expected to be proclaimed next week.
