B—12 *=x FACTS DEMANDED | BY HIGH COURT New York Milk Case and Two Others Sent Back to Lower Tribunals. ‘The Supreme Court wants all the salient facts when it is called upon to decide the constitutionality of New Deal legislation. This was made clear vesterday when an opinion was rendered on a New York milk case sent back to the lower | courts for a decision. In delivering the opinion, Chief Justice Hughes referred to the absence of facts needed to pass on the consti- tutionality of a differential of 1 cent a quart allowed certain dealers over those having a well-advertised name in the sale of milk to stores. Then he said: “With the notable expansion of the scope of governmental regulation. and the consequent assertion of violation of constitutional rights, it is increas- ingly important that when it becomes necessary for the court to deal with the facts relating to particular com- mercial or industrial conditions, they should be presented concretely with appropriate determination upon evi- dence, so that conclusions shall not be reached without adequate factual support.” 18 Cases Acted Upon. The court had the busiest day of its term. In all 18 cases were acted upon, leaving cnly 12 that have been argued and have proceeded far enough for a decision. Long written opinions accompanied three cases sent back to the lower courts with instructions that they were to decide the suits. One was whether group ggvertising rates constitute a violation of the Sherman anti-trust law. The ques- tion was presented in a case from Indiana and involved group rates given by the Prairic Farmer Publish- ing Co. of Chicago and four other companies publishing farm papers in the corn belt. A competitor com- plained that their group rates were higher for six papers than for seven and that this result penalized him. Foreclosure Case Sent Back. Another was an emergency legisla- tion case from Baltimore. involving special proceedings, under Wwhich mortgages on property in that city may be foreclosed. The third was the milk case. ‘The Fox Film Corp. of New York was granted a review to have decided whether the “block booking™ form of contract it is using in renting mo- tion pictures is legal. The court refused to go into the famous Sir Francis Drake estate swin- dle, declining to pass on the convic- tion in Towa of Oscar M. Hartzell on the charge of using the mails to pro- mote the scheme. He was convicted of having gotten money from many upon promises that they would share in the estate. Case to Be Reviewed. ‘The court promised to review a de- cision by lower courts that the Man- ufacturers’ Finance Co. of Baltimore was not entitled to collect 28.3 per cent interest from the bankrupt Grigsby-Grunow Co. of Chicago. The Federal District Court in Chi- cago held that 7 per cent was plenty and the Seventh Circuit Court of Ap- peals concurred. The finance company contended the trustee in bankruptcy of the Chicago concern owed it $4,394. The Baltimore company asserted it had purchased under contract certain accounts from the bankrupt and that the balance was due as interest or compensation. The trustee in bankruptcy declared the finance company had loaned the bankrupt money at 20 per cent inter- est, taking the accounts receivable as security. I SERVICE ORDERS l MARINE CORPS.

A. Van Duzer. At the present time there are ap- proximately 2,000 sets of tags going STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C, TUESDAY, DECEMBER 4, 1934, out daily. Of these 1,000 are over the counter and 1,000 by mail. In order for every one to have their tags by the end of the year the sale should be running at least 3,000 at this time of the month, he said. The full capacity of the bureau is 6,000 sets of tags daily, hence the sale is running only a sixth of capacity. Apparently, it was stated by Van Duzer, many motorists are expecting to obtain their tags during the last few days of the month, and these are due for a disappointment, for it would be impossible for the department to handle so many before the expiration of the period for the use of the 1934 tags, which will be on December 31.
