Aluminum Trust To Be Prosecuted
WASHINGTON, Dec. 6— (U.E)— The supreme court today legalized the government’s prosecution of anti-trust charges against the Aluminum Company of America and also abandoned a 100-year-old policy to permit states to tax income derived from federal contracts.

The court affirmed a decision by a special three-judge Pennsylvania federal district court rejecting the company’s plea for an injunction designed to prevent the government from prosecuting anti-trust charges brought In the southern New York federal district oourt.
