Justice Weaver Reverses Contempt Ruling in Booze Case
The Iowa Supreme Court, Justice S Weaver presiding, reverses the district judge in the Lt. O Hieber contempt matter. State agents testified to liquor sold from a drug store soda fountain. 32 ounce bottles found after the sales undermine the defense. The court remands the case with instructions to enter a judgment aligned with the opinion, annulling the prior dismissal.

Trade Bank Restrictions Lifting Hinted by Dodge Executive
H M Robins, foreign sales manager for Dodge Brothers, reports that trade bank restrictions on foreign-made motor cars may be relaxed in France and England soon. He cites pro-labor and pro-free trade pressures, prewar English dealers, and the American Chamber of Commerce. A slow peace-time factory readjustment and labor market instability complicate any big production push. The public’s demand for affordable cars and fears of reprisals influence the easing pace.
