Rainfall in May Below Normal Across Iowa
May rainfall in most Iowa sections fell short of the long term average with only extreme northwest and southwest meeting or exceeding the normal. Central Iowa averaged a little over half the usual four inches, while Des Moines and Jones counties posted under one inch. The crops benefited from the moisture, and a Navy directive announced equal treatment for all sailors and Marines, aligning with Truman’s executive order. Defense Secretary Louis Johnson approved the policy, though he again opposed Army proposals for broader changes.
