Executive Council Fails to OK Raise For Dr. Hendricks
The State Executive Council failed to approve a pay raise for Stanley Hendricks a veterinarian with the State Health Department by a 3 to 2 vote. Dr Edmond Zimmerer had sought a maximum basic salary of 10800 a year while Hendricks earns 9000. The council split with opposing votes from Gov Norman Erbe State Auditor Chet Akers and Secretary of Agriculture L B Liddy and supporting votes from Secretary of State Melvin Synhorst and State Treasurer M L Abramhamson. Dr Zimmerer called the move unfortunate and warned Iowa may lose Hendricks to another state offering higher pay.
