FEDERAL WATER
 POWER UPHELD
U. s. Supreme Court To- day Renders Decision of
 Much Importance

BY GILBERT w. STEWART JR. Limited Press Staff Correspondent
 Washington, Dec. 16-(UP) The U. 8. Supreme Court today upheld the corstitttionality of the Fed eral Water Power Act in a decision broadening the federal governrnetlt's authority to regulate development of hydro-electric power resources. The decision, in the governments case against the Appalachian Elec- trio O., held that the federal gov- ernment had power to regulate such resources regardless of whether the source of the power was ravigable stream or not. Navigability of a stream Heretofore has been a de- terminative factor in limiting fed- eral power.
 Another Decision
 The Supreme Court upheld Wis., consin tax law levying on income gained by out-of-state corporations operating within Wisconsin. Tn a five to four decision the high court gave a broad extension to the realm of state taxation. The constitutional limits of a state tax, Justice Felix F'rankfurter said in the majority opinion, are set by the states ability to give service in return.
 In the power case, the govern ment sought declaration that the Appalachian Electric Power Con- pany violated the law by construct ing 8 power dam on the new river near Radford, Va, without obtain ing a federal power commission li- cense. Lower courts had held no l- cenSe necessary.
 Justice Stanley F. Reed wrote the ma jority opinion from which Jus tice Owen J. Roberts and James C. McReynolds dissented. Chief Jus tice Charles Evans Hughes did not participate.
 Assertion of this authority over New River was opposed by the at- torneys general of Al states. They contended this power would invade rights reserved to the satteS by the constitution.
 The governments chief constitu- tional argument was that develop ment of the country's water re- sources is national problem which must be regulated in a manner to obtain the maximum benefit for navigation, flood conUrol, power, IT, rigation and recreation.
 The court established an impor- tant precedent which may be used to determine which rivers are nav igable and subject to unrestricted federal jurisdiction.
 It held that the New River. which been scarcely used for commerce in 50 years and never was used exten- sively or regularly, is nayigable.
