Supreme Court Opens 1938 Term with Mooney Review Rejected
The Supreme Court's eight justices began the 1938 term with several action items. They refused to review Tom Mooney's latest appeal from San Quentin where he serves a life term for a fatal 17 year old San Francisco bombing. They agreed to study three National Labor Relations Board cases including Ford Motor Co procedures. They also slated review of a lower court ruling on government limits to sales commissions at Kansas City stockyards. Army air corps at Fort Bragg reports include observer nets detecting enemy bomber reach, intercepts of high altitude attack fleets, night bombers outrunning searchlights, and a warning that anti aircraft gear could not defend a major coast city.
