Rep Andrew J. May of Kentucky says he will not testify before the Senate war investigating panel tomorrow citing a subpoena but offers to appear later. The panel plans to recall Joseph Freeman for question in alleged witness influence and may hear May if he answers the summons. The committee seeks more funds beyond 85000 as expenses grow and backlog includes the May case and a $2500 check from a defense contractor to a secretary. May likely invokes constitutional immunity and remains unavailable.

County Judge R M Russell invalidates the will of Clarence Richardson saying he was not of sound mind when he left his estate to the best definition of joke. The eccentric Wessington man survived on a delusion that the definition would define the Bible and the world. The will’s executor F D Fitch faces a flood of entries that fail to meet the terms as Richardson’s insanity is noted by doctors at a tuberculosis sanitarium and witnesses including his son Clarence Kipp Richardson who receives only a token inheritance until the will is upheld or overturned.
