...Iowa, which surprised everyone by going Democratic in 1948, reasserted its old Republicanism last week. Only a little more than one-fifth of the state's eligible voters went to the polls, but an overwhelming majority of those who did favored Republican Bourke Hickenlooper for another term in the U.S. Senate. Hickenlooper got more votes than all other candidates on both Republican and Democratic senatorial tickets combined...

Worried about his health, his Methodist parents-Frank Zanuck, an Iowa-born hotel clerk of Swiss parentage and Louise Torpin Zanuck, a Nebraskan of English stock-moved to Los Angeles when Darryl was six.
