Supreme Court upholds OPA rent control program
The Supreme Court, in an 8-1 decision, rules the OPA rent control program constitutional in a case involving Mrs. Kate C. Willingham of Macon Georgia. Justice Douglas writes for the majority, while Justice Roberts dissents. Chester Bowles, OPA administrator, had sought to restrain Willingham from seeking a state court order fixing a rent ceiling. The district court previously held the law unconstitutional as a delegation of power, a ruling the OPA appealed directly to the high court.
