Volume 329 — United States Reports

This is a list of all the United States Supreme Court cases from volume 329 of the United States Reports:

Cleveland v. United States, 329 U.S. 14 (1946), was a case in which the Supreme Court of the United States held that notwithstanding the fact that polygamy is a person's religious belief, the Mann Act prohibits the transportation of women across state lines to participate in polygamy.

Held: for lack of specificity, not to extend to claims based on original title. 31 The following year Congress passed the present Act, employing the specific language used once before in the Act of 1929, 32 under which Coos Bay Indian Tribe v. United States, supra, arose.

Held: therefore, that the tax was not on goods moving in interstate commerce.

American Power & Light Co. v. SEC, 329 U.S. 90 (1946), was a United States Supreme Court case in which the Court held that the Commerce Clause allows the federal government to dissolve a public utility company that is not serving the local community properly.

Held: in the exercise of our power of supervision over the administration of justice in the federal courts, see McNabb v. United States, 318 U. S. 332 , that the plaintiff’s motion to strike the panel should have been granted.

United States v. Carmack, 329 U.S. 230 (1946), was a unanimous decision of the Supreme Court of the United States which held that the United States federal government was empowered by Condemnation Act of August 1, 1888; the Public Buildings Act of 1926; and the United States Constitution to exercise its right of eminent domain over land containing buildings owned by a state or local government.

Held: was “that the tax includes in its measure, without apportionment, receipts derived from activities in interstate commerce; and that the exaction is of such a character that if lawful it may in substance be laid to the fullest extent by States in which the goods are sold as well as those in which they are manufactured.

Held: however, that the income tax liability for 1935 should be extinguished by recoupment of the 1919 to 1922 excise taxes. The gravity of this holding to the administration of the tax laws led us to grant certiorari. Rothensies v. Electric Storage Battery Co., 327 U. S. 774 .

Held: Samuels being present. He advised the board that he had appeared of his own volition before a committee representing the Union of Orthodox Rabbis (but not connected with the selective service system) and that the committee concluded he was a student preparing in good faith for the ministry. What facts that committee may have acted upon do not appear.

Gibson v. United States, 329 U.S. 338 (1946), was a case in which the Supreme Court of the United States ruled that a Jehovah's Witness minister could appeal his classification without first appearing at induction camp.

Held: and the court ordered that ninety per cent of the funds on deposit be given to the Director of Labor and the other ten per cent to the United States. The Collector appealed to the Appellate Court for the First District. On motion of the appel-lee, the cause was transferred to the Supreme Court of Illinois on jurisdictional grounds.

Held: and the only thing it held, was that a valid patent is indispensable to this right to fix prices. But whether an inventor has a valid patent is a matter of increasing uncertainty. Hitherto, under the estoppel *414 doctrine, a patentee could be assured that he would not have to litigate the validity of his patent with those to whom he grants license rights under it.

Louisiana ex rel. Francis v. Resweber, 329 U.S. 459 (1947), is a case in which the U.S. Supreme Court was asked whether imposing capital punishment (the electric chair) a second time, after it failed in an attempt to execute Willie Francis in 1946, constituted a violation of the United States Constitution. The issues raised surrounded the double jeopardy clause of the Fifth Amendment, and the cruel and unusual punishment clause of the Eighth Amendment, as made applicable to the State of Louisiana via the due process clause of the Fourteenth Amendment. In an opinion by Justice Stanley Forman Reed, which three other justices (Chief Justice Vinson and Associate Justices Hugo Black and Robert H.

Hickman v. Taylor, 329 U.S. 495 (1947), is a seminal United States Supreme Court case in which the Court recognized the work-product doctrine, which holds that information obtained or produced by or for attorneys in anticipation of litigation may be protected from discovery under the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. The Court's decision in the case was unanimous.

Held: that the Secretary of the Interior’s construction of the 1940 Act was clearly right. Therefore, we do not discuss the Government’s contention that, since the Secretary’s construction was a reasonable one, it was an allowable exercise of his discretion which should not be set aside by injunction or relief in the nature of mandamus.

Held: absent a settlement between the parties, to be fair market value at the time of taking plus “interest” from that date to the date of payment. 4 But the method used by courts to determine “just compensation” in an adversary proceeding where the parties *603 have failed previously to agree on its amount is not the exclusive method for determining that question.
