Va„ April 10.—</P>— The United States fourth circuit court of appeals today declined to remove legal obstacles which pre vent construction of a hydroelectric plant at Busaard Roost, B. O., with Public Works administration funds. The court denied a government motion, offered on behalf of Harold L. Ickes, PWA director, and Green wood county, S. C.. In which the plant would be located, to vacate a stay of mandate granted the Duke Power company. The stay, granted by the circuit court after it had denied a ptition for an Injunction to prevent construction of the plant, runs for 40 days from March 17. Counsel for the government con tended the power company had delayed application to the Supreme Court for a writ of certiorari and that the delay might postpone a final decision In the case until next fall.' The circuit court held that, al though the Duke company had not filel its application with the su preme court, there was no indica tion that counsel for the company had sought to delay the case and that there appeared no grounds to sustain the government motion. Argue For Speed. Alexander Holtzoff, special as sistant to the Attorney - General, and William J. Dempsey, assistant counsel for the power diclsion of the Public Works administration, argued the case should be speeded toward a final determination, not only because of the project Involv ed, but also because approximately 30 other similar suits are pending. Judge John J. Parker declared during the argument that even were the stay of mandate vacated, the appellees still would have the right to apply for the writ In the Supreme court and that he could not conceive of the PWA’s going ahead with the project until the Supreme Court had passed upon ;the case. -— Strong Man Of Mexico A nested, Deported To U.
