Law holes admitted in newspaper publicity case
Washington argues that Congress intended to pass a constitutional newspaper publicity law as part of the postal appropriation act. Solicitor General Bullitt asks the Supreme Court to construe the measure to regulate second class mail only, not the press in general, and to strike down provisions overstepping constitutional powers. The government contends overtaxing the public for publishers and defends a fine for paid-for articles not marked as advertisements.
