Court Rejects Townsend Petition In contempt ruling
The Supreme Court refused to review Dr. Francis H. Townsend’s conviction for contempt of a House committee, closing his last legal path and leaving clemency as the only option to avoid jail. The brief session also declined to review a federal decision deeming the Bankhead Cotton Control Act unconstitutional and ordered a new trial for Joe Hale of Kentucky sentenced to death for murder, citing juror bias. The court agreed to hear questions on intercollegiate football as an essential government function and reviewed ratification challenges to the federal child labor amendment, noting broader questions of federal tax powers over state instrumentalities.
