Court Ruling Ends Church Controversy in Eldora
Iowa Supreme Court partially sustains and partly reverses a Hardin County injunction over the Eldora Church of Christ dispute. The ruling restores Ragsdale and 12 members to membership and declares the church autonomous with power over affiliation while invalidating 1949 articles of incorporation. The decision avoids secular control of church doctrine.

UN Woman Admits Soviet Citizenship Amid Senate Probe
Olga Michka a 33 year old U N employee from Bayside testified before the Senate Internal Security Subcommittee that she obtained a Soviet passport in 1949 without leaving the United States and considered herself a Soviet citizen after applying in 1939. She said she never hid her change of allegiance and was placed on leave from the UN amid a charge of defrauding the organization by claiming refunds on U S income taxes. McCarran praised the disclosure and urged closer scrutiny of passport practices to prevent easy shifts of allegiance.
