Parker dam ruling alarms New Dealers and Ickes
The Supreme Court held Secretary Ickes lacked authority to dam navigable rivers without Congress approval and that the PWA law did not list Parker dam as a project. The ruling suggests potential suits against large reclamation works funded by the PWA and may prompt congressional authorization for Parker dam. Also, no impeachment for federal judges Woodward Wilkerson and Lindley was found warranted by the subcommittee.
