storing to Mrs. Senta Artina Delisi, 9
L street northeast. the off-sale liquor
license which had been revoked by

mer United States attorney, and John

RETROACTIVE LAW
OF LONG IS VOIDED
Building and Loan Act Attacked
as '"Redistribution Of Wealth"
Fails in Supreme Court.

3y the Associated Press.
Provisions of a 1892 Louisiana Law
making retroactive changes in the
method Of paying off withdrawing
members Of the building and loan as
sociationS were held unconstitutional
today by the Supreme Court.
In unanimous opinion delivered
by Justice Roberts, the court reversed
q ruling of the Louisiana Supreme
Court holding the legislation valid.
Roberts said the law was not tenn
porary, but permanent.
The provisions were challenged as
an arbitrary redistribution of wealth.
by three owners Of $67, 400 of stock in
four associations.
The legislation was passed while the
late Senator Huey p. Long dominated
the State Legislature.
Those attacking the measure had
given notice Of withdrawal from the
associations more than so days be-
fore the new legislation became ef-
fective. They contended they were
entitled to q settlement under the pre-
vious law, which provided for full pay
ment when their names reached the
top Of the withdrawal list.
The 1882 law provided for q pay
ment Of only Is per cent Of the claim
when the names reached the top of
the list. Each time one-foarth Of the
claim was paid the name was moved
to the bottom Of the list and the
withdrawing member had to await his
turn before getting more money.

By Staff Correspondent of The Star.
RICHMOND. February 3.-An cpl
demic of severe colds among members
OF the House of Delegates is causing
grave concern to proponents of the
pari-mutuel and racing bills. and
unless a number of members now ill
are able to return to the floor within
the next few days the bills are facing
probable defeat.
Since both measures are so inter-
locked as to be indispensable to each
other. passage of the measure setting
up racing commission would be
worthless without passage of the pari-
mutuel bill.
Both are finance measures and re-
quire a majority of the entire men,
bership of the House, or 81 votes, for
passage. Ordinary bills require only
a majority Of a quorum.
At present, patrons of the bills, in
cluding the entire delegation from the
Northern Virginia. claim they have
promises of exactly 81 votes. with
only a possibility of more. OF this
group, several are confined to their
hotels
The bills, having been reported out
OF committee, are now on the House
calendar and are scheduled to come
up for action during the early part uf
the week. Absence of any of the Ger
tain votes Is sure to result in a mo-
ton to pass by temporarily"
