Beck Calls Oil Ruling a Quagmire for Business
James M. Beck of New York, veteran in Sherman anti trust work and former U S assistant attorney general, condemns the oil decision as leaving business to flounder in vague legal phrases. He notes the court spent over a year and 20 000 words yet failed to clarify a law businessmen must daily interpret under threat of imprisonment. Beck says the Supreme Court should have aided a situation grown intolerable.
