National safety standards proposed to curb Iowa highway deaths
A state safety release outlines nine proposed standards for driver licensing and highway safety. Key ideas include mandatory vehicle inspections, periodic driver vision and knowledge tests, separate licenses for vehicle types, and automated data checks on license history. The plan also calls for driver education expansion, helmet use for riders, post crash alcohol analysis, and health agency involvement in medical licensing policies.

Capitol News Letter summary of 1967 Iowa legislature
The first week shows parties seek credit for future laws as Senate Democrats and House Republicans face a busy session. Leaders Fulton and Baringer are respected for nonpartisan conduct. A conservation plan requests a $100 million program plus a $14 million biennial appropriation. The liquor fight spurs a court ruling upholding a local option halt in Sioux County and a move to end local option votes. A Warren County contest questions a Democrat winner, with a special committee to decide. The cholera eradication plan seeks $500,000 annual indemnities, while new state FHA director Newell and highway chief Gunnerson take posts. Forecasts suggest 1967 farm income will rise, but moisture issues, costs, and prices influence outcomes. Republicans dismiss Jackson as council secretary amid staffing shifts at state departments.
