Government moves against gold hoards tests anti hoarding act
A New York lawyer in a hoarding case faces an indictment not for violating the emergency banking act but for failing to report ownership of 200 574 dollars in gold bullion and for an executive order issued by the President last August. The case raises constitutional challenges to the act granting Treasury powers to seize gold and pay in kind, with defense arguing presidential authority may rest on an unconstitutional statute. The issue, if pursued, could reach the Supreme Court as the government battles to justify the act’s validity.
