BY JOHN HI. CLINE.

The Supreme Court today refused
to review three suits attacking the
validity of New Deal legislation.
Two of these actions were filed by
the Texas Utilities Co. and the Ala
bama Power Co. to restrain the use
of p. w. A. funds to enable munich
palities to construct their own elec-
tric systems.
The third suit was filed by J. Ed
ward Jones, New York securities
dealer, who claimed his litigation in
volved the constitutionality Of the
securities act of 1898. The Govern
ment replied that the constitutionality
Of the act was not involved.
In the power cases. the companies
lost in the District Court here and
appealed directly to the Supreme
Court instead of first carrying their
case to the Court of Appeals for the
District. In asking the high tribunal
not to grant the request for a review,
the Government argued that the fall
ure of the plaintiffs to go through the
Court of Appeals made it impossible
to bring up a record suitable Tor
Supreme Court action.
VIII Pass on Similar Suit.
The refusal to grant the review was
not considered of particular signifi-
canoe. since the high court already has
agreed to pass on a similar suit filed
by the Duke Power Co.
The Texas and Alabama companies
asked that they be permitted to skip
the Court of Appeals so their contro-
versy might be argued with the Duke
