VERDICT IS RENDERED IN 5-4 RULING Vigorous Dissent Written By Chief Justice Charles E. Hughes WASHINGTON, June 1 (U.R) The supreme court today to-day in a sweeping' decision which probably will doom any kind of state or federal wage and hour legislation today held unconstitutional the New York minimum wage law for women and children. The court's verdict was render, ed in a 5 to 4 decision. The ruling, while applied only to the New York law, was expected ex-pected to mean the end of similar legislation in many states including includ-ing seven which had joined with New York in appeal to sustain the validity of the law. After its decision in the New York case and disposition of a huge sheaf of orders, the court recessed until Oct. 5, bringing to an end one of the most momentous momen-tous terms in its history. Roberts Adheres The conservative victory was made possible by the adherence of Justice Owen J. Roberts who cast his vote with the four members of the conservative bloc who voted against a similar law in 1923. Chief Justice Charles Evans Hughes wrote a vigorous dissent which was concurred in by Just-, ices Louis D. Brandeis, Harlon F. Stone and Benjamin Cardozo. Hughes dissented on the grounds that there was a substantial difference dif-ference between the 1923 District ) of Columbia case and the New ; York law. j "And I can find nothing in the j federal constitution which denies ' to the state the power to protect women from being exploited by over reaching employers through the refusal of a fair wage as defined de-fined in the New York statute and ascertained :;. a reasonable manner by competent authority," Hughes said.

Miss Cunningham was hauled from the heavy waters at the half way point, near exhaustion, but the four 'passenger on one of the three escort boats were not so fortunate.

Salt Lake Tribune sports writer: AdrianJsmith, 23, ard Lynn Madsen, 21, University of Utah students, and Miss Helen WoodhVad, 21. graduate nurse at a Salt Lake City hospital. A sudden squall capsized their small boat, dousing all four under the briny waters. They all managed man-aged to reach the overturned boat which once again was tossed over like a cork, battering the four who clung to its sides. The quick thinking of Brana gan was one factor which enabled, the four to stick it out until help11 came. Although weakened by the battering of the boat and the choking salt water, Branagan guided the board through the water wa-ter for some distance and stood by to warn the others as the large waves swept onto the boat to wich they clung precariously.

Of these 14 parcels of land, two had been sold back to the original owners. The remainder went to real estate firms and individuals who had heavy mortgages on the property and were protecting equity. Provo city's teasurer, A1mo B. Simmons, was standing by to protect pro-tect the city's interesti n property against which there was a heavy debt for special improvement taxes.

Few of the searchers held any hope the "blind flight" expert would be found alive, although condition of his trim maroon monoplane and other evidence unearthed un-earthed late Saturday indicated he may have escaped his crippled ship uninjured. Stark's plane, first clue to his fate since he disappeared on a flight from Rock Springs, Wyo., to Salt Lake City during a blind, ing blizzard nearly five months ago, was discovered, upside down, by Fred Weyland, Logan, Utah, woijbuyers' foreman. Landing Gear Smashed Smashed landing gear protruding protrud-ing skyward, the craft "lay in a small clearing on a ridge in the Lost Creek mountain range, near BKie Fork. The ship's compass was gone from the instrument board and a supply of gasoline was drained from a wing tank, indicating officials of-ficials believed that Stark was unhurt un-hurt in the forced landing and had made careful preparations to reach civilization. Deep snowbanks covered the area when the flier was forced down. Thus, it was feared he had set out to obtain aid and frozen to death before reaching the nearest near-est habitation. The ship was located 28 miles northeast of the town of Devil's Slide. Lloyd L. Juelson, department of commerce pilot, who, with Roy Keeley, another department aviator avi-ator and close personal friend of Stark, said the plane, although not seriously damaged, would have to be dismantled before it could be removed from its present location. loca-tion. "Indications are that before the crash Major Stark had turned , around and was headed for Evan- J ston," he said. "He hit the left wheel first, it struck a sagebrush 1 stump, tipping the plane sideways. side-ways. The ship swung around slightly to the left side and then turned over." Stark held a commission in the U. S. army air corps reserve. Although Al-though he maintained headquarters headquart-ers in Washington, D. C, his home was near Alexandria, Va. N. Y.
