After the decision by the circus
court last April Mr.. Hill expressed the
opinion that So or 80 per cent of the

would be UP in the air. ii the decision
should be affirmed by the supreme
court
viii you make a request to agar

yesterday.
Il don't think we care enough about

Then you have plan to keep the

I'VE have a plan" he replied, but
1t is not ready for publication. cen

have not even read the published re-
port of the decision. have no desire
to say anything on the subject Be

Judge Walter III. Sanborn, of the
United States circuit court of appeals:
THE supreme court decision allows the
same line of reasoning as the decision
given In the circuit court in this case,
and, SO far as I have seen, confirms
that decision In every respect. Judge
