Steuart Loses Fight
In Supreme Court on
Restriction Of Sales
oPA Penalty Against
District Fuel Dealer
Is Upheld, 8 to |

The Supreme Court today
affirmed an order of the Office
of Price Administration restrict
Ing sales of L. P. Steuart Bros,
Inc, District fuel dealers, for
Ireputed violation of oil ration
ing regulations in the 1923
heating season.
The court split. 8 to /, with Justice
Douglas reading the opinion and
Justice Roberts noting a dissent.
The court concluded that the pow
er of the President under the Sec
ond War Powers Act to allocate"
materials includes the power to
issue suspension orders against re-
tailers and to withhold rationed ma
terials from them where it is es-
tablished they have acquired and
distributed the rationed materials
in violation of the ration regula-
tions."
First Decision on Issue.
The case was rated of high impor-
tance in the administration of price
regulation because it is the first time
this particular issue has been de-
cided.
The Government charged that the
Steuart Co. both procured and dis
pensed fuel oil without rationing
coupons. AS a penalty it was pro-
Vlded that the company could sell
only as much oil this year as had
been sold in the year before ration
Ing started in October, 1912. The
order was upheld in the Court of
Appeals, but enforcement was de-
layed pending the appeal to the Su-
preme Court.
The company contended that the
War Powers Act made no provision
for cutting down its business, hold
ing that Government should resort
either to injunction proceedings or
criminal prosecution to deal with
the alleged violations.
Issue Is Defined.
We agree that it is for Congress
to prescribe the penalties for the
law for which it writes" Justice
Douglas said. 1T would transcend

parts in a Hollywood production.
Some went into slender purses to

The indictments to which Lester
pleaded guilty included four under

the Tokyo radio today said "en-
emy naval units" approaching
from the east had launched
aerial attacks Saturday and
Sunday against the Central Pa
cific Minamitori (Marcus)

Damage to japanese installations
was acknowledged in the broadcast

The island is about midway be-

east OF the main islands of the Bonin
group. 1t has been attacked before
by American fleet units.
The American Navy attacked the
island outpost guarding the sea lanes

in September, 1943. In the latter
attack Admiral Chester w. Nimitz
estimated 80 per cent of the Japan

destroyed by an aircraft-carrier task
force.
American losses in the raid last
fall were two fighters and one tor
