Legality Of President Truman's Action To Be Argued Before Court

+

Washington, May 12.

The United States Supreme Court, the nation's highest tribunal, will meet here today (Monday) to hear arguments on whether President Tru- man acted unconstitutionally in seizing the steel industry on April 9 to avert a strike over wages.

With production almost back to normal in the key industry, Presi- dent Truman's action is being put to the ultimate test amid perhaps the sharpest constitutional controversy since the early years of the late Pre- sident Roosevelt's Administration.

The Court has the power to invalidate any act of Congress or the Pre- sident which, it decides, violates the nation's written Constitution.
