Paul, and Craig argued the case; A de clsion irr favor of the oil'companies was handed down. In an appeal by Thompson to the U. S. Supreme Court, Fred H. Kelly and Mr.

Van Meter appeared before the court. The U. S. Supreme Court upheld the decision of the Eighth Federal District Circuit Court of Appeals. 5 Washington INS The Supreme Court today upheld the decision of Federal District Judge" Patrick J.

Allied Chemical fell a point, and American Can at one time was down 3. J. I. Case dropped a point. Fractional losses ruled in the steels.
