Illegal Evidence Is Ruled Out In State Courts
The Supreme Court ruled five to four that evidence illegally obtained by federal agents cannot be used in state court prosecutions. The case involved Danton George Rea, indicted in federal court in Albuquerque for marijuana possession, whose evidence was suppressed for federal rule violations. The same agent then filed in a New Mexico state court, and Rea sought to bar the evidence in federal courts. Justice Douglas authored the majority opinion upholding the ban on illegally seized evidence in state courts.

A move on farm tax relief appeared as counterpoint to exempting farm gasoline from the federal tax.
