McCormick Place Fire Razes Chicago Exhibition Hub
A massive blaze at McCormick Place in Chicago nearly destroyed the 10 acre complex, with walls down and concrete collapsed. About 475 firefighters and 150 workers escaped harm as flames from an electric spark swept through the main hall. Officials estimate losses at 150 million dollars plus, threatening the city’s convention industry and up to 100 million more in future business. Mayor Daley surveyed the ruins as arson investigators noted the fire began with an electrical spark. The building, built six years earlier for Chicago’s convention capital bid, housed vast exhibits and drew millions annually. The World news item also notes Iowa hazardous driving warnings and a cold, windy forecast with snow.

Iowa Governor Sees $90 Million Surplus Possibility
Des Moines Iowa governor Harold Hughes says the state treasury could end the current biennium with a surplus around 90 million dollars though he has not seen final figures. He cautions the 90 million figure is an academic guess and notes last fall's estimate was about 80 million by June 30. He plans to deliver the budget message soon and asserts no major tax increase is needed to meet next biennium needs. He will meet Attorney General Turner to discuss the price fixing case against 22 firms over liquid asphalt, noting attorney changes within the office and urging agencies to hire their own counsel to avoid turnover.
