Stream Pollution Issue Ties Iowa to England in Beet Sugar Waste Debate
Des Moines April 9. Three years after Iowa's push to curb Shell Rock river pollution from beet sugar factory effluents a strong international angle emerges.

A joint sugar beet companies committee will study pollution with an eminent engineer to visit factories for a comprehensive report. Germany and Austria are also seeking exchanges with Iowa on this issue as health officials here collaborate with British contacts to address the economic and environmental challenge.
