Iowa Legislature Split on County Official Pay Bill
In Des Moines the Iowa senate and house clashed over a proposed 800 dollar annual raise for county officials. The senate would drop county attorneys from the raise and remove cost of living ties, while the house resisted. A conference committee was named to resolve the dispute. The House also rejected Senate amendments on county official fees and a separate bill on hunting license cost allocations. Also late yesterday the House backed a highway patrol increase to 200, up 40 from 160, to cut the traffic toll.

Volunteer Ban in Draft Bill Proposed by Rep Johnson
Rep LeRoy Johnson of California urged adding a ban on voluntary enlistments to the draft bill. He argued it would save recruiting costs and ensure fair distribution of top recruits among the services, criticizing current incentives that attract many youths to Navy and Air Force stations. He proposed dissolving recruiting stations and sourcing all manpower through the draft, potentially ending a joint Army Air Force drive costing about 15 million dollars this year.
