'Conusiye Factors
Prevent High Court
Test Of Rent Control
Supreme Tribunal
Refuses to Pass on
ConstitutionoIity Of Act

The Supreme Court today re-
fused to decide the constitu-
tionality of defense-area rent
control legislation. holding that
suit in which the issue was
raised was collusive and that,
consequently, the point could not
properly be passed on.
The Government had asked for a
ruling on constitutionality of the
delegation by Congress of rent
control authority to the Office of
Price Administration
According to the record in the
case, a tenant in South Ben. Ind,
agreed with the man from whom
he rented property to test the valid
ity of rent ceilings by instituting
suit in which he claimed damages
from the landlord on the basis of
an alleged violation Of the pre-
scribed rent ceilings in the South
Bend area.
When the case came up in the
Federal District Court for the
Northern District of Indiana, Fed
eral Judge Thomas w. Slick held the
law unconstitutional The Govern
ment then lntervened in the action
and asked for a rehearing, pointing
out that the suit had been shown
to be of collusive nature and that
the decision should be set aside.
This motion was overruled and the
Government then appealed to the
Supreme Court challenging the find
ing of unconstitutionality. and say
ing that the point should be decided
even though the suit was collusive.
In a per curiam opinion today the
Supreme Court said that when the
collusive nature of the litigation was
brought to the attention of the lower
court the action should have been
reversed In consequence a dismissal
was ordered.
Courts Explanation.
In explanation the court said:
Here an important public interest
is at stake-the validity of an act

of the most critical periods in the
history of the country. That interest
has been adjudicated in a proceed
ing in which the plaintiff nenant)
has had no active participation. over
which he has exercised no control,
and the expense of which he has
not borne. He has been only nomi-
nally represented by counsel who
was selected appellee's Qandlord)
counsel and whom he has never
seen. Such suit Is collusive be-
cause it is not in any real sense
adversary Whenever in the
course of litigations such a defect
in the proceedings is brought to the
courts attention, it may set aside
any adjudication thus procured and
dismiss the cause without entering
judgment on the merits"
The Government had asked that
the District Court verdict be set
aside in the event the Supreme
Court refused to pass on the merits
of the case. pointing out that other
wise the lower court decision would
be controlling law in the Indiana
district.
