Arms Embargo Act Was Held
 To Be Legal
(By The Assoclated Press,

WASHINGTON, DC, Dec. 26- Constitutionality of the Arms Embargo Act, which was enacted by Congress in 1884 and which authorized the President to for bid the sale in the United States of munitions for use in the re- cent Gran Chaco between Bolivia and Paraguay, was upheld by the United States Supreme Court.
 The case came up from the United States district court of southern New York, which held the act unconstitutional, saying it was illegal delegation of legisla- tive power to the President. Be- for the supreme court, the gov ernment attorneys contended that a decision holding the act uncon- stitutional would operate to null lify large part of the congress sional legislation designed to pre- serve United States neutrality.
 The vote of the supreme court was seven in favor of the consti- tutionality of the act to one aga inst. Associate Justice George Sutherland delivered the affirm ativs opinion of the majority. As sociate Justice James C., Rey- holds delivered the dissenting op- inion.
 Associate Justice Harlan Stone is i'll and did not participate in the case.
