The transmitters, enough to blanket the state with I IEBN's signal, are expected to be completed by early in the next budget period. Blame 727s for Rapid Deterioration of Runways Another major factor in the sharp increase, said Ditzel, is the higher program fees IEBN will have to pay because the new transmitters expand the network's potential audience. The number of viewers determines the cost of many programs, he explained. "The operating budget for 1975-77 assumes all transmitters will be operating, a basic public TV service will be purchased and some significant Iowa-oriented programs can be produced, in essence, a reasonably balanced educational TV system in Iowa," Ditzel said.

Little Loss "We won't lose many flights because of weather," said Benny Kirk, assistant chief at the Dcs Moines airport tower. Des Moines has 47 airline flights daily and its daily average number of passengers last year was about 2.575. "We may lose some airline west-bound passengers went to Dos Moines and east-bound ones went to Molinc," Jamesen said. The Cedar Rapids airport has runways of eight-inch concrete, overlaid with another six inches of concrete in 1961.

The runways were resurfaced in June with six inches of asphalt, Jamesen said.

Patrick's Church gymnasium Tuesday thinking about starting over with only a battered sofa and a softball glove left from his family's home and possessions. "You walk up there (where his house had stood before Monday's devastating tornado), you look around and you still just can't believe it," said McNamara, 26. McNamara said his wife and 23-month-old daughter, Angela, fled to the basement less than a minute before their house was carried away by the savage twister. "If it hadn't been for a neighbor, they probably would have been killed. My wife was standing at the picture window when the neighbor yelled to her to run to the basement," he said.

A friend, sitting nearby eating lunch provided by the Red Cross at disaster headquarters in the gym, said of McNamara, "This is one of those kids who works 20 hours a day to get what he wants, and when he gets it, this happens." McNamara, who works at Iowa Manufacturing Co. in Cedar Rapids, said he was two miles from home when the storm hit. He said finding his wife and child unharmed made the loss of everything else seem less hard to bear. He said the sofa was found in a basement a block away and his softball glove he plays on the Ryan town team was found near where his four-bedroom house, which the family had occupied for only months, had stood.

Originally, the resurfacing work here was planned to be done only at night, when it would least disrupt airline flights. But one general aviation firm flying airmail pointed out night work would put it out of business for 60 days, so plans were changed. Allison said at a prc-construc-tion conference last week that everyone "agreed to co-operate so we can do the job in such a way that it will upset the travel plans of as few people as possible." He said some runway and taxi sections now are undermined and "rock and pump water" after heavy rains. These will be fixed, he said. Jet blasts from FlOOs caused minor damage to asphalt covering at the end of the main runway here, Allison said, but this problem was solved when Guard pilots agreed not to cut in their jet afterburners until well into their takeoff roll.

"Come to Grips" "Ultimately they (the legislators) have to come to grips with what we're trying to do. Whether they like it or not, they bought a $3 million (yearly) package when they agreed to put up those transmitters." The new production center is needed, Ditzel said, because the present facility, originally a warehouse, is inadequate.

Opinion: Can Recall Grant To Railroads By Michael Sorkin Copyright, 1974, Dcs Moines Reqister and Tribune Company Railroads can be required to repay $3 million in Iowa subsidies, the state attorney general's office said Tuesday. The opinion came as Iowa's energy chief, John Millhone, and Iowa Commerce Commission Chairman Maurice Van Nostrand were meeting with railroad executives in Chicago, 111. Before departing for Chicago, Millhone said, trying to convince them that they can live with loans rather than out When the 727 is turned, the weight is concentrated that much more. "Every airport with 727s using the runways regularly will need repairs.

(AP) -The Senate passed a bill on Tuesday that would exempt state-run lotteries from the 10-per-cent excise tax on wagers.
