DES MOINES IDPA Iowa officials note unclear impact of the 1967 tax increase on new industrial development with early signs showing job creation up from 366 to 751 in January but capital investment down from 36 million last year to 13 million this year.

Statue of Leif Erikson Stands Over Seattle Bay
In Seattle's Snoose Junction district a 16 foot tall Leif Erikson statue rises on a 14 foot base, a Viking with helmet and broadsword. Norwegian artist Prof August Werner created it, funded by Seattle Norwegians who contributed 40000 dollars and unveiled June 17 1962 facing west toward the water. The sculpture bears a Cross, and local figures debate Leifs Norse origins versus Icelandic identity and Rogaland approval for a similar copy in Norway.
