New Bank Night Proposal Legal
A ruling by Attorney General Leo A. ... says a proposed bank night plan by Town theater operators would be legal if kept as planned. Any deviation could render it a lottery under Iowa law. The plan would allow permanent registration for theater bank rights and weekly participation cards, with prizes drawn when holders present or added to the next draw if absent. The drawing would occur when the theater is closed or all present gain admission free. The ruling emphasizes equal opportunity to register and obtain weekly cards. The Iowa Supreme Court defines a lottery as three elements: consideration, chance, and prize. lacking any one element negates a lottery.

MALVEEN Iowa AP Shell parked Highway 34 west of here and an ammunition truck burned after a collision Wednesday night creating a major traffic bottleneck Friday. Army demolition crews cleared debris while officers directed one-way traffic past danger signs. Watson Brothers Transport from Omaha, owner of eight shells trucks, was banned by the Army and Navy from hauling ammunition, the second suspension for the firm in two months following earlier detonations in Nebraska in October.
