COURT 0VERRULES
ECONOMY ACT CURB
Supreme Tribunal Restores Power
of Court to Hear War
Risk Suits.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
In two cases presenting the first
challenge Of the economy act. the
Supreme Court yesterday set aside the
section of the legislation which de-
prives courts Of jurisdiction to en-
tertain suits against the United
States on yearly renewable term
insurance contracts issued under the
war risk insurance act.
The cases were brought by Mrs.
Margaret S. Lynch of Albany. Ga,
and Sam Wilmer of Chicago, bene-
ficiaries under war risk insurance
policies.
In both instances, the benefciaries
contended the insurance was in effect
when the veteran became totally and
permanently disabled.
Both claims were pending before
the Veterans Administration when
the economy act repealed the law
granting yearly renewable term in
surance and were therefore rejected.
The lower Federal courts refused to
review the action of the Veterans
Administration, taking the position
the economy act had deprived them
of authority to review the action of
the Veterans Administration in such
cases.

By HARRY CANNES

NEW YORK. = Another

by the Roosevelt government
in the form of a sharp "a per

two weeks, ending Feb 10, has just
been reported by the Bureau Of La

Food prices today, nearly nine
months after the passage Of the
N. r. A., are 20 per cent higher
tim they we're last year.
The rise in food prices y more
acute and more rapid than at any
previous period. The result is a
precipitous lowering Of the real
wages, or the amount Of purchas-

codes.

WASHINGTON, March 1i-An-
drew Mellon, whose family controls
$4,000, 100000 fortune, former
treasurer Of the United States. and
James ]. Walker, ex-Mayor of New
York City, will have AK evasion
suits instituted against them, the
Department Of Justice declared
yesterday.
These stage plays are arranged
to counter balance the bad effect on
Roosevelt's pose as enemy of the
money changers" crea ed by his
recent N. R. A. speech. In that
speech he enthusiastically greeted
the wholehearted support from the
American Bankers Association.
Attorney General Cummings an
nounced last night also that sim
liar suits would be brought against
Thomas S. Lamont, partner in the
firm Of J. P. Morgan & Co., and
Thomas L. sidlo, law partner of
Newton D. Baker, President Will
sons Secretary Of War.
While It Is clear that these
millionaires, as well as others, are
evading income taxes, If the suits
are instituted they will not be
prosecuted with the speed that the
National Labor Board breaks strikes,
While Mellon was treasurer of the
United States he ladled out billions
of dollars in income tax returns to
himself and friends. The charge
against him now is that he failed
to report million dollar payment
of taxes due.
The Roosevelt government, at the
same time, never hesitates to come
to Mellon and Morgan's aids in
using the government to break
strikes for them in the aluminium,
coal and steel industry.
