Court Act on Natural Gas Cases Rejected Pyramiding Suit
The U S Supreme Court acted on two Federal Power Commission gas rate cases. It agreed to decide if the FPC may order rate cuts during hearings and refused to hear a challenge to rate pyramiding. The decision leaves in place a ruling that the FPC cannot halt pyramiding under current law. The court also dismissed a loyalty oath challenge by University of Washington professors Nostrand and Lavelle and agreed to review a lower court ruling against movie distributors in an antitrust matter. The case involves Willmot Gas & Oil Co of Hattiesburg, Mississippi, purchasing gas from United Gas Pipe Line Co of Shreveport, Louisiana.
