Petition seeks recount of Iowa 3rd District race
Stephen M. Peterson, a 27 year old Waterloo attorney and Democrat, asked Congress for a recount of his 419 vote loss to incumbent Republican H R Gross in Iowa 3rd District. He cited 158 alleged irregularities across 16 counties, including altered ballots in Bremer and Hardin Counties adding 100 votes per precinct and illegally solicited absentee ballots at nursing homes. The petition urged Gross to refrain from taking his seat until the recount is decided, while Gross dismissed the move as unlikely to change results.

Iowa Farm Bureau proposes tax changes to cut property taxes
The Iowa Farm Bureau outlines 1965 legislative goals to replace property taxes with a single rate net income tax or higher sales and income tax rates. Key aims include state aid for schools, agricultural land tax credits, reapportionment, highways, and daylight savings time. They urge using new revenue to aid local governments and property taxpayers, and support increased agricultural land tax credits unless other replacement plans exist. They call for immediate reapportionment action and endorse districting within counties for multi-member seats. They oppose cutting road-use funds for secondary roads and favor broad property tax replacement before new taxes, while preferring uniform time with a seasonal adjustment proposal.
