Iowa tax collections show gains in first 40 months
The State Tax Commission said tax collections in the first 40 months of the fiscal year rose well above the same period last year. Increases came from individual income taxes and cigarette taxes, with income tax up 27 million and cigarettes 2 million. Use and sales taxes also rose, while inheritance and beer taxes increased, offset by small declines in some areas. April drove much of the rise with a 2.2 million gain.

No Proof of Negro Athlete Coercion Found
The Human Relations Committee at Town State University reports it found no proof that athletic officials pressured Morgan Langston of the Iowa State track team to stop dating a white student. Headed by Dr William G Murray the committee deplored attempts to block interracial dating while noting insufficient justification for a detailed investigation given the incident occurred over a year ago. The panel asserted it opposes any university pressure to prevent interracial dating and expects a forthcoming policy statement to prohibit racial discrimination.
