1. “"Use of the county attorney’s information is said to be violative of the United States Constitution, Amendment 5, made applicable to the states by Amendment 14. This challenge has been made before in State v. Allnutt (Iowa) 158 N.W.2d 715 ; Hoskins v. Bennett, 256 Iowa 1370, 1376 , 131 N.W.2d 510 ; Kotek v. Bennett, 255 Iowa 984, 988 , 124 N.W.2d 710 , appeal dismissed and certiorari denied, 376 U.S. 188 , 84 S.Ct. 637 , 712, 11 L.Ed.2d 604 . In the latter case we said: ‘ * * * ■ County attorney informations, to be effective, must be approved by a judge of the district court (section 769.-7) and the rights of an accused are amply protected by other provisions of chapter 769 of our Code." (Emphasis supplied).”

2. ““Boykin v. Alabama undoubtedly requires that in all pleas of guilty in state courts the record must disclose defendant voluntarily and understandably entered his plea of guilty. Further, it must be shown defendant knew he was waiving the privilege against self-incrimination, the right to trial by jury and the right to confront one’s accusers. But the United States Supreme Court in Boykin did not attempt to impose a rule of criminal procedure mandating the manner by which the record was to be developed. This was left to the state courts and was met in Iowa by State v. Sisco, supra.” 179 N.W.2d at 352 .”
