defense in the Supreme Court hear
Ing. with Assistant Attorney General

Dozens OF convictions under the
Mann law hinged on today's deci-
sion. With the Mann lay applying
only 20 commercial vice It would be
impossible TO obtain a conviction 81 a

barely got through. Justice Mercy
nolds took no part, as he was attorney
general while the cases were up. OF
the other eight justices, the two SEN
iors. Chief Justice White and Justice
McKenna and the junior, Justice

Justice Day held that the law Gov

poses OF debauchery.

timated the Treasury viii receive sew.
eral hundred million dollars during the

The plan of the administration lead
ers IS that the tax on excess profits
