WORK IS SUSTAINED
IN MINERAL DECISION
Court of Appeals Holds Finding Of
Secretary, Unless Arbitrary,
Cannot Be Reviewed.

The District Court Of Appeals in an
opinion by Justice Charles H. Robb yes
terday sustained the contention of HUI
bert Work, Secretary of the Interior,
that finding by the Secretary under
the war minerals relief act, unless
arbitrary or capricious. is not subject
to judicial review. The appellate
court reversed the DEGREES of the Dis
trict Supreme Court. which had grant
ed mandatory injunctions against Sec
retary Work at the request of the
Crimona Manganese Corporation and
the United Chemical and Industrial
companies.
Congress in passing the relief act
to indemnify persons and corporations
for money spent in manganese min
ing for wartime use, the court finds,
was occupying toward the proposed
beneflciaries the attitude Of a bene-
factor rather than as a. debtor at law.
Congress intended, points out the de-
cision, that the Secretary should act
