“ NEW DEAL " LEGAL BATTLE Pr«u Association—By Telegraph—Copyright WASHINGTON, July 18. The “New Deal ” won an important but perhaps-only a temporary victory in the constitutionality battle to-day, when the Federal Court of Appeal, sitting at New Orleans, reversed the decision of the lower court and declared the so-called Tennessee Valley Authority legal.
