House can't agree Defer debate on salaries
In Des Moines the Iowa House failed to agree on salary levels for state legislators and deferred action after hours of debate. Proposals ranged 4800 to 7000 dollars annually, with the Senate backing 6000. A straw vote favored annual pay, but most amendments were defeated and the measure was postponed for party caucuses. Also urged: district parents ensure kindergarten registrations by May 30 for the 1969 70 term, with eligibility five by Sept 1.
