Right to Ban Trucks Carrying Autos Over Cabs Challenged
Harrisburg May 24. Pennsylvania’s right to ban high piled trucks carrying autos over the driver’s cab was challenged before the State Supreme Court. The 1937 law barred the practice as unsafe. Dauphin County Court rejected an injunction and the civil suit. Interstate Commerce Commission findings and unsettled interstate rights are central. National Automobile Association and about a dozen firms joined the case seeking to limit Pennsylvania’s reach over interstate transport. A legislative measure to outlaw mobile auto transports is under way.

The measure would let the governor replace department heads by merit, set age limits, and require county boards to place dole recipients in work. Democratic leaders attacked the plan as patronage. The body also trimmed appropriations and advanced hospital and home funding, while approving liquor board limits on whisky warehouse certificates amid investor losses.
