Court Holds Tax Challenge Barred and Back Pay Awarded
The court held Morgan's suit barred for not using a 30 day appeal provision in the 1941 law and that the writ is granted as no illegal exaction was shown. Eli W. Collins won about 900 dollars back pay after a partial reinstatement, with salary set at 450 dollars monthly from Oct 8 to Dec 10 1941. The case was sent to Pulaski circuit court to determine the total back pay, and McCain noted back pay involves the federal social security board since Collins' salary came from federal funds.

Price Control Bill Faces Senate Over OPA Funding Limits
Washington July 1 The price control appropriation went before the Senate with Leon Henderson warning that farm price fixing limits would cripple anti inflation efforts. The $1 858 000 000 war-supplement bill includes 120 000 000 for OPA operations, 20 000 000 below Henderson’s ask. He condemned amendments barring price fixing on farm product derived goods unless parity reflected 10 percent. Senator Wagner said OPA funding is the top home-front issue.
