Supreme Court voids Iowa burial rights appeal ruling
The Supreme Court, in a 5-3 decision, threw out a highly publicized suit challenging an Iowa cemetery's refusal to bury an American Indian GI killed in Korea. The Court dismissed the review as improvidently granted and left the case as before, with no ruling on U.N. Charter questions. Mrs. Evelyn Rice, widow of Sat. John Rice, filed the appeal.
