COURT RULES
NEW WSPAPER R
TAX ILLEGAL
IVA Decision Still
Withheld by
Jurists

WASHINGTON, Feb. 10.
UP)-In a sweeping OPT
Mon that went to the roots
of the American constitu-
tional guarantee of freedom
of the press, the supreme court to-
day invalidated the Louisiana state
newspaper gross receipts tax.
The courts ruling in the Louisiana
case was unanimous.
While submitting it's verdict IN the
newspaper tax law passed at the be-
hest of the late Sen. Huey Long, the
court failed once again to render It's
long expected decision upon the
constitutionality of the Tennessee
Valley Authority.
However, two important rulings
upon the validity of sections of the
New York State milk control law
were presented.
The courts opinion in the Louis
lana newspaper case struck hard at
any effort by government to Shackle
the long guaranteed liberty of the
press.
Read by Justice George Suther-
land, it traced the history of the
guarantee of that freedom and
challenged the Louisiana statute
squarely as:
Not an ordinary form of tax, but
one single in kind, with long his
tory of hostile misuse against the
freedom of the press"
The court made clear that it was
not intended to except newspapers
from any ordinary form OF taxation
but only to protect their recognized
freedom from attacks cloaked in The
guiSe of taxation.
Milk Control Law
The courts rulings in the New
York milk control law were of vital
importance to the continuance of
that form of state control. In both
decisions, the court divided sharply.
The first case was brought by the
Borden Farm Products Co., to test
