MASKS BEAT THE LAW AND OTHER BALANCED VIEWS
A Luverne grand jury action on masked flogging outrages failed to produce convicts after two defendants were tried and acquitted. The piece argues public opinion sometimes backs disorder over justice and calls for action, not words, on disarmament and social issues. It covers a police gun duel over a lights-off arrest, Waterloo speed limit debates, and former Iowa football figure Nick Kutsch’s eligibility concerns. It also notes a 4-H health winner Freddie Christensen and Soviet disarmament proposals at Geneva.

Huge Legislative Program to Face Coming Congress
Washington reports a sweeping upcoming Congress with plans for legislation, investigations, appropriations, and elections. Senate fights over seating Senators-elect Smith and Ware could delay the president's message and limit early action. Major House items include a tax bill, a large deficiency appropriation, and a revamped property tax, with supply bills advancing first. Probes into the electric power industry and the oil fund from Fal-Sinclair era loom, as party politics shape the new session's momentum.
