Betty because she had an "over-

Closes Its Term

WASHINGTON. MAY 81. CUP)--
The supreme court today concluded
its 1878 term with a refusal to
reconsider New Deal pleas that 1t
reopen its decision setting aside rate
orders proposed by Secretary OF
Agriculture Henry A Wallace for
Kansas City commission men.
The courts action was a blow to
the administration which had con-
tended that the stockyards ruling
reversed a 1886 decision in the same
case.
At the same time the court failed
to announce any action on the plea
of Thomas j. Mooney for a review
of the refusal of California courts
to order his release from prison.
Failure to act today means that
the courts decision will not be an
nounced until next October when
