A—16 * MAY BE UPHELD Supreme Court Expected to Act Favorably in Alabama Jobless Case. B3 the Assoclated Press. Questions asked by Justice Stone during arguments before the Supreme Court on the Alabama unemployment insurance act indicated yesterday the legislation may be upheld by a 5-to-4 vote. Already, the Supreme Court by a 4-to-4 vote, with Stone absent be- cause of illness, has upheld a similar New York statute. The New York law taxed only employers, however, while the Alabama legislation im- poses the tax on both employers and employes. Questioned by Stone. " In the argument in the Alabama etase Justice Stone put his questions while Borden Burr, Montgomery attor- ney, was contending that the Federal and State legislation constituted *“sur- Tender of State sovereignty and usur- Pation of Federal control.” “Every State is put in a strait- Jacket and compelled to submit to National control,” Burr asserted. “Has the State assented to this program“ Stone inquired “Yes. How can it fail to assent?” Burr responded. He referred to the provision of the Federal act that 90 per cent of the amount collected in Federal unem- ployment taxes be refuhded to States which adopt unemployment insurance approved by the Federal Social Secur-~ ity Board. “Can you raise the question whether the State has been encroached upon, if it has consented?” Stone asked. “Coercion” Charged, The attorney repeated that there | had been “coercion” on the State. When Burr contended the legisla- tion took property without due process of law, by requiring employers to place | Jnoney in a pool for the benefit of Jothers, the justice inquired if such a Pprovision “made a school tax bad.” JHe added: “Under such an interpretation, bachelors couldn't be called upon to| P&y a school tax.” “Not if it went into a pool,” Burr re- Plied. . A. A Carmichael, Alabama attorney ‘Reneral defending the legislation, de- Voted his time before the court to a | history of the litigation. Other State | officials will defend the act today.

Pal- * mer, jr., told po- lice he was about & block from his | home, 428 K| street, when the colored boys ap- peared from be- hind a parked automobile.

Among others reporting hold-ups last night was Sarah Snelson, 1630 R street, who told police her purse, con- taining $2 and checks amounting to about $125, was snatched by a colored youth while she was walking in the 1600 block of Q street.
