ST. LOUIS, MO. AP-A 10-day ban on 65-foot twin
trailer trucks in Iowa was extended until Sept. 10 by a
panel of three federal judges Monday.
Judges Donald P. Lay, J. Smith Henley and Theodore
McMillian of the Eighth Circuit Court of Appeals granted
the stay sought by officials of the Iowa Attorney Gen

stay even further will be heard Sept. 10.
A federal court decision had ruled on Aug. 21 that
Iowa's ban on the long trucks is unconstitutional. The

to continue the ban for 10 days to give the state time to
appeal.
The request to extend the ban was filed Saturday in
Rapid City, S.D.
