Iowa Supreme Court Delays Ruling in Duckworth Case
The Iowa Supreme Court adjourned without deciding if former Woodbury county attorney Max Duckworth will receive a review of Judge Peters contempt order. Duckworth refused to testify in the O Connor gambling conspiracy trial, claiming questions could incriminate him. Clyde Mayer testified he paid McNaughton and other officials protection money while operating Plymouth county slots, and Mrs Mayer described related meetings and exhibits. Special Prosecutor Havner said extradition questions for witnesses Harkaway and others remain unresolved as the trial proceeds.

Strato Balloon Sets Near 14 Mile Height Record
A National Geographic Society Army Air Corps balloon flight credited Captains Albert W. Stevens and Orvil A. Anderson with a stratosphere height of 72,395 feet. The figure surpasses the prior 1933 record and a 1934 Russian mark, though it falls short of the 14 mile goal. The explorers believe higher flights would need a much larger balloon, but plan to attempt to break their own record again.
