New Test Suit on Gold Is Planned
Washington planners backed by a leading New York law firm outline a June 15 plan to force Treasury to accept old gold value bonds for tax payments. They propose a $1000 Treasury note maturing that date be treated as paying $1690 in income taxes, arguing the old gold dollar equals $1.69 in devalued bills and anticipate a court challenge if Treasury declines.

Group Insurance Act Held Invalid in Arkansas
Arkansas Attorney General Briley ruled that the Group Insurance Act as passed by the 1935 legislature failed to meet the two thirds majority requirement in the early house or senate. The act would have paid premiums jointly by state and employees, but no pre existing law authorized the appropriation. The measure called for a board including the governor and attorney general to supervise bids from insurers, but action paused amid questions on the appropriation feature.
