Court Agrees to Pass Upon Power Loans
The Supreme Court closed an eight month term by agreeing to rule on the constitutionality of federal loans and grants for financing municipal power plants. The court adjourned until October after declining review of a case by Electric Bond and Share Co. and 26 subsidiaries challenging the 1935 public utility holding companies act. Justice Willis Van Devanter, 78, bowed out after 26 years, and discussions with Chief Justice Hughes followed. The court also refused to rule on TVA power expansion in eight states and declined to pass on two Wagner Act cases for lack of judicial review provisions.
