Major shake up in Iowa Agriculture Department
L B Liddy the agriculture secretary elect announced that nearly 50 employees will lose their jobs after December 31. He previously disclosed 11 key dismissals and later added 38 mainly clerks and typists. The GOP’s West Des Moines Republican beat Kenneth Owen. Democrat Clark Rasmussen accuses Liddy of botching staff retention. Liddy defends the move as a drive to improve service at lower cost. The state court curbs highway surveys on private property unless owner consent, with potential 1967 legislative action. Interstate 80 sections open, giving Iowa the longest toll-free continuous stretch. Post high school education in Iowa could rise to 175,000 on campus by 1980 and spending to 650 million by 15 years. Republicans seek meeting with Governor Hughes to discuss sub-districting, tax revision, and budget. A proposed statewide vehicle inspection program with a $2 fee faces opposition from dealers over adequacy and time required.

Costs of vehicle inspections and head start funding in Iowa

Iowa sets aside $3 million for next year head start, triple prior funding, though none spent yet. Regents discuss blacklisting architects missing budgets. Journalists demand and receive strong demand for ISU journalism graduates across PR, advertising, editorial, teaching, and media jobs.
