Court majority dispute over UN charter ruling
Justice Frankfurter stated there was no basis to claim a diversity of opinion in the 4 4 division on the UN charter case. He said the Supreme Court erred by accepting the widow's case for review and that the writ of review must be dismissed as improvidently granted, vacating the November decision. The action leaves the case as it stood for the parties and signals the tribunal did not address the UN issue.
