Ruling on TVA Expected From Supreme Court
Adverse Opinion Will Lead To More Attacks Upon U.S. High Tribunal
Norris Fights For Measure
Bills in Congress Propose To Curb Justices Who Decide on Statutes
WASHINGTON, Feb. 16— (UP)— Bitterly assailed oy liberals of both parties and facing more than forty bills designed to curb its powers the United States Supreme Court tomorrow may break a tense ,two month, silence on the legality of TVA.
An adverse opinion is certain to inspire more attacks upon the elderly jurists who have already scrapped two piUars of the New Deal— NRA and AAA.
Court Criticised Biting criticism of the court’s AAA invalidation has come from such nationally known figures as Senate majority leader Joe. T. Robinson, of Arkansas, and the liberal, gray-glumed George U. Norris, Republican senator from Nebaska.
Senator Norris—incidentally author of the TVA act—contends that a unanimous court opinion should be required to hold an act of congress unconstitutional. Numerous bills to carry out this idea and otherwise limit the court’s powers are pending in senate and house committees, but are not unlikely to see action this session.
New Dealers Attend Court New dealers will be present as usual tomorrow but there is no assurance that the TVA opinion will come. Instead it's pointed out that that the tribunal seldom hands down opinions on the day it goes on recess. It takes a two-week recess tomorrow. If the jurists follow this custom the fate of the giant development project can not be made until Mach 2.
Cause of delay in the case is hidden behind the silence which surrounds the jurists. Arguments in the action brought against TVA by George Ashuander and other preferred stockholders of the Alabama Power Co., ended on Dec. 20, 1935. Since then the court has been variously reported hopelessly at odds on the decision; agreed that it could not take Jurisdiction; agreed that the act is constitutional and agreed that it isn’t.

DETROIT, Feb. 16.—(UP)—The Rev. Father Charles E.

Ruling on TVA Expected From Supreme Court Adverse Opinion Will Lead To More Attacks Upon U.S. High Tribunal Norris Fights For Measure Bills in Congress Propose To Curb Justices Who Decide on Statutes WASHINGTON, Feb. 16— (UP)— Bitterly assailed oy liberals of both parties and facing more than forty bills designed to curb its powers the United States Supreme Court tomorrow may break a tense ,two month, silence on the legality of TVA. An adverse opinion is certain to inspire more attacks upon the elderly jurists who have already scrapped two piUars of the New Deal— NRA and AAA. Court Criticised Biting criticism of the court’s AAA invalidation has come from such nationally known figures as Senate majority leader Joe. T. Robinson, of Arkansas, and the liberal, gray-glumed George U. Norris, Republican senator from Nebaska. Senator Norris—incidentally author of the TVA act—contends that a unanimous court opinion should be required to hold an act of congress unconstitutional. Numerous bills to carry out this idea and otherwise limit the court’s powers are pending in senate and house committees, but are not unlikely to see action this session. New Dealers Attend Court New dealers will be present as usual tomorrow but there is no assurance that the TVA opinion will come. Instead it's pointed out that that the tribunal seldom hands down opinions on the day it goes on recess. It takes a two-week recess tomorrow. If the jurists follow this custom the fate of the giant development project can not be made until Mach 2. Cause of delay in the case is hidden behind the silence which surrounds the jurists. Arguments in the action brought against TVA by George Ashuander and other preferred stockholders of the Alabama Power Co., ended on Dec. 20, 1935. Since then the court has been variously reported hopelessly at odds on the decision; agreed that it could not take Jurisdiction; agreed that the act is constitutional and agreed that it isn’t.
