Budget proposal boosts Iowa spending and taxes
Governor Hughes unveils a 245.7 million dollar budget, a 22 percent rise aimed at education welfare and health. The plan widens the sales tax base, raises cigarette tax, corporate tax, and driver license fees, and introduces a state withholding system to collect taxes. Republicans criticized the approach as incomplete reform and warned of tax impact. Hancher, Iowa's former president, dies in New Delhi at 68.

Early bills in the Towa Legislature propose removing the guest statute that limits liability for auto passengers. Proponents argue it will curb accidents by heightening driver responsibility, but critics warn it will raise insurance costs and invite more litigation and host-guest conflicts across the state.

Church Attendance Declining in United States
The Oelwein Register Cuero Texas Record notes Gallup poll findings on churchgoing decline. Catholics show higher faithfulness than Protestants. New England residents attend more. college graduates attend more. more Blacks and white collar workers attend. youths and lower-income groups attend less. women attend more. Parents want religious instruction but few set examples by attending. Critics label the modern church various ways, yet many find inspiration in sermons and rituals. The piece urges churches to study causes and act.
