gnia, West Virginia should bear, was laid
today before the supreme court Of the
United States for its solution.
Recognizing the intricacy of the problem
and the Importance OF the outcome, the

time until next Thursday to hearing OF
arguments. This is more time than has
been given TO any other case argued before
the supreme court of the United States in

was the spokesman for holders of $50, 900, O0C
worth Of certificates representing part oil
the debt. In the present litigation the GER
tificate holders are urging that West vir-

scented by the certificates.
