Federal Suit Sought Pay Hikes for Teachers
A federal court suit filed on behalf of about 2 million teachers seeks legal backing for most teacher salary raises due this fall despite Nixon era wage price controls. The National Education Association argues officials acted arbitrarily by barring raises because work began after the August 15 freeze. The suit seeks a permanent injunction to block enforcement actions against teacher pay increases and names the Jefferson Parish School Board and other parties in related actions as context.

Riverside seeks delay on highway widening plan public hearing
Riverside officials oppose the Iowa Highway Commission plan to widen highway 2 through Riverside amid plans for highway 22 changes. Mayor Ralph Schnoebelen and others urge delaying the Sept. 30 hearing to allow more information. Concerns include potential loss of railroad service, reduced parking, and unresolved impact on local businesses. A parallel plan to relocate the railroad along the current right of way also raises legal questions. The 1.6 mile project originally slated for 1974 now aims for 1975 completion. Elsewhere in Cedar Rapids, Robert Gallagher was injured in a Friday motorcycle crash and remains in serious condition.
