Appeal Court Uphold!
Denial Of Steuart
Injunction on 0PA
Customer CurtoiIment
Slated to Become
Effective Next Friday

The Court of Appeals today
affirmed a District Court de-
clsion denying the oil firm of
L. P. Steuart & Bro, Inc, an in
junction to prevent the Office of
Price Administration from en-
forcing a suspension order
against the firm for violations
of oil rationing regulations.
The OPA order cut back the
number of customers the Setuart
firm could serve to those on it's
books during the 12-month period
ending October %. 1912.
The suspension order was issued
December 81. to become effective
January Is, but has been held in
abeyance pending action on the case
by the Court of Appeals. Under
Judgment of the higher tribunal, the
order now is scheduled to become
effective next Friday.
Iodays decision. written by JUS
tlce Henry w. Edgerton. held the
suspension order was not imposed
for punitive purposes" This was
asserted in answer to the firms
claim that the suspension order was
penal in nature.
The court said also that the firm
mad shown a strong inclination to
disregard that program. 1t had not
merely violated the program but had
informed the hearing administrator
IN effect, that it conceived it's first
duty to be the supplying of its Gus
TONERS. and that conformity with the
requirements of the rationing system
was subordinate thereto
This comes to saying that appel
liant deliberately determined, as a
matter of general policy, to meet
what it considered the needs of its
customers whether or not they had
ratlonlng evidence. Since violation
OF the law was willful, statutory
penalties of fine and Imprisonment
might have been invoked. But in
stead OF seeking to punish, the Gov
ernment sought to prevent"
The court added: The order,
therefore, tends, in a most direct
way, to promote the program. No
doubt it tends also to promote the
program in an indirect way by in
dicating that violation may not pay.
But an incidental minority effect
does not turn a remedial order into
a penal one. TIE fact that the sus-
pension order protects the public
directly, by allocating oil away from
dealer who is disposed to violate
the rationing program and toward
other dealers, sharply distinguishes
it from fines and penalties
Justice Justin Miller and Justice
Thurman w. Arnold concurred in
the decision.

Sinking Takes
oil Of 1000
u. S. roops
BY the AssociateI Press,

BY the Associatec Press.
The Army has announced the
loss of 1000 American soldiers in
the sinking, due to enemy
action" of an Allied troopship in
European waters. Approximately
1000 men were saved, but the
loss was the greatest suffered by
Allied convoy forces in this war.
The brief announcement yesterday
said the vessel sank rapidly in a
heavy sea, but gave few other de-
tails. Word from London that none
OF the survivors had been landed in
Britain indicated the ship may have
been bound for the Mediterranean,
though there is a possibility the sur
vivors may have been landed in Ice
land, or returned to the Western
Hemisphere.
The Army statement, which said
the ship was struck at night, pre-
by U-boat torpedoes, point
ed out that the enemy probably does
not know fully of the success of the
attack, and that for this reason the
date OF the sinking was not dis
closed.
A number of American transports
have been lost in this war, but none
with such toll of life. Approx
mately year ago the Navy dis
closed sinking of two cargo-pas-
senger vessels in the Atlantic,
loaded with Army, Navy, Coast
Guard and civilian personnel. Six
hundred of the 900 on one ship were
lost, and approximately half the
500 on the other. The President
Coolidge hit mine in the South
Pacific October 26, 1942, but only
five lives were lost while between
4 500 and 5000, men were saved.

laneous merchant vessels.
