Insurgent Republicans oust Hoeven as House caucus chair
A group of insurgent Republican congressmen unseated veteran congressman Charles Hoeven as chairman of the House Republican caucus. The move aims to shape the party image and pressure leaders like Sen. Everett Dirksen and Speaker Charles Halleck. Hoeven’s ouster is seen as a strategic snub to Halleck, with observers noting sympathy for Hoeven despite the clash. In related items, school bus drivers from Akron and nearby districts attended a training program at Hull High School, with further sessions planned in Moville. The program is a collaboration among the State Department of Public Instruction, State College of Iowa, Iowa Highway Safety Patrol, and Iowa Driver Education association, with cooperation from the Iowa Association of Independent Insurance Agents and the Iowa State Bar Association.
