Court upholds SEC power to act against fraud in securities
Supreme Court for the first time sustains sweeping authority of the Securities and Exchange Commission to police fraud in interstate securities and investments. The ruling references the 1934 act and allows broad regulatory power to protect shareholders. The court also defers broader action on Rep. Adam Clayton Powell's suit and agrees to review a Louisiana law requiring property-owner approval for public utility revenue bonds.
