Co, Daniel +. Rice, Lawrence j.
Ryan and Phillip r. OiBrien,
members Of the Chicago Board OF

Court 10 Rule
On Utility Law

WASHINGTON. May % (INS)
The Supreme Court has an
nounced that ii will hear five
cases involving constitutionality of
the death sentence" provisions of
the Public Utility Holding Com
panv Act.
The highly important action ap-
parently resulted when one justice
of the court who had previously
disqualified himself reversed his
decision and decided to sit on the
issues.
The high tribunal previously
had been unable to obtain a
quorum of six justices TO decide
the cases, which may involve bill
lions of dollars of utility property.
NEED SIX FOR QUORUM
1t was understood that Chief
Justice Stone and Justices jack
son. Murphy and Douglas had dis
qualified themselves. This left but
five Justices while a quorum is six.
Chief Justice Stone was said TO
have disqualified himself because
25 or 30 years ago he represented
a utility holding company while
he was a practicing lawyer in
New York.
1t is known that some members
of congressional judiciary commit
tees who refused TO sponsor legis-
lation to reduce a quorum had
urged that Chief Justice Stone re-
store himself in the case. The
action of the court may mean
that he has done this.

With just two days left for the mailing of Christmas packages to men a.ld women serving overseas, only i6,000 packages have been Ynail- cd since September IS, when the nionth-long mailing period began.
 So heavy was the overseas parcel post mail last year at this time that post office work.rs handled 4b,000 addressed to men fighting on fronts in Europe and the Pacific. The volume was so heavy ct the onset of the io44 mailing period, APO of- flcials instructed local postal au- thorities to hold up parcels until further modification. and three and o half carloads of Yuletide reFnem- branees piled up with the portals of the post office, adding consider. ably to the mounting headaches Of postoffice personnel.
 No Extra Help
 Though an increase was noted in volume during the past few days, no extra help has been added to the parcel post force which is handling the servlcemen's Christmas mall without difficulty. It has also been observed that the long queues of people, who waited patiently during the wartime years to mail packages, have been singularly missing during
