Ordinarily, a final ruling on the challenge of the government s pro cessing taxes—upon which the AAA program depends—by the Hoosac Mills Corporation of Massachusett' would take much longer than Christ mas.

In such cases the Supreme court usually agrees to speedy procedure. This is by far the most far-reach ing case awaiting action by the court which begins its fall term > next Monday.
