Haley Angrily Opens Second Supreme Court Trip
J Evetts Haley Jr faces a new Supreme Court bid over an unallotted wheat case. The Justice Department appeals a ruling by Dist Judge T Whitfield Davidson. U S Attorney Barefoot Sanders cites political motives linked to Kennedy appointees. Haley argues the move aims to embarrass him in opposing the Kennedy Freeman farm program. Davidson had ruled the court lacked jurisdiction over the prior decision. Haley was cleared in 1958 of planting 43 acres in Oklahoma without federal permiso and fined $506.11. He faced charges of harvesting 473 bushels without an allotment and selling without a marketing card. The 1959 Supreme Court reversal is noted in Davidson's later decision.
