Des Moines attorney and Polk County Democratic chairman Ber Moe Hawkins was chosen as state party chairman to serve the remainder of the current term ending at the 1983 state convention. He will lead on a non paying basis and can hire a full time executive secretary. The Iowa Democratic central committee praised predecessor Norberg and rejected delaying the appointment until Gov Loveless returned from a goodwill tour. Lt. Gov McManus approved the selection, while Hawkins and Loveless had previously opposed More’s ouster in 1958.
