Supreme Court agrees to rule on NRA constitutionality
The Supreme Court today agreed to pass on the constitutionality of the National Industrial Recovery Act. A final decision in a New York poultry case selected by the government as ideal for the purpose is expected before the term ends in late May or early June. Arguments are set for May 2. The Belcher lumber case was dropped by the government as an unsatisfactory test. The New York circuit court upheld most of the government position in the poultry dispute, involving Schechter Poultry and related firms convicted of violating the live poultry code. The court's move to review comes as Senate finance committee closes NRA investigations prior to framing an extended recovery measure.
