Supreme Court Rules Against New Deal Pleas in Key Cases
The Supreme Court closed its 1936-37 term by ruling against government and utility positions in three major power and utility cases. It declined to review a Tennessee Valley Authority case, blocked a hearing on the Utility Holding Company Act, and allowed an appeal over Public Works Administration power loans to municipalities. The term promises broad questions for next session and includes plans to hear Taft gold clause litigation. One California utility rate case ended 4-4 with Justice Sutherland not participating.
