The last 4 have me flummoxed :
20A : US slang for a stupid person (6) : S?I?O?
33A : Old term from the United States for an assistant purser (3-5) :
M??-?L?R? : I'm assuming the second word is CLERK?
25D : Fritz's Wallet (10) : ?E???A?C?E : word ending in -TASCHE?
29D : Gangrene (10) : ?H?N?T?S?S
Thanks in anticipation ......
