The ruling was part of a voluminous outpour ing of opinions and various other actions which brought the high court's 1961-62 term to a close Monday. The court acted on lunch counter sit-ins, sale and mail ing of obscene material, con gressional contempt, narcotics addiction and school segrega tion. It also handed down one of the most far-r e a c h i n g reli gious freedom decisions in re cent times by outlawing use of an official state prayer in New York public schools. The justices now disperse for the summer. Barring a special emergency term, ihey will not return to the bench until Oct. 1. Besides the shoe industry Tax Collections Tolal 85.4 Per Cent For Current Year The Jackson county sher iff's tax office has collected 84.5 per cent of the taxes due for the current year, ac cording to County Treasurer Karl Janouch. This percentage represents three quarters, Janouch said, since the fourth quarater col lections are due on Aug. 15. These figures are based on the overall amount levied for all districts such as school, water, fire, irrigation and various cities. The amount due from all levies is $7,577,059.97. The amount paid during the three quarters is $6,468,435.79. From 1956 through 1961, the tax collections have never run below 93.6 per cent of the amount needed for the over-all levies, Janouch's fig ures show. In 1956 the amount col lected was 107.7 per cent of the total levies in Jackson county. There are four dates pay ments are due, the county treasurer explained. Most of it is collected in the first quarter collection date which is Nov. 15. The other collec tion dates are Feb. 15, April 15, and Aug. 15. During the last six years the amount of the total levy not collected is less than 7 per cent, Janouch continued. Since ccunty operations are financed by O and C and na tional forest timber receipts almost entirely, a tax levy for the county has not been need ed. Tax collections have al most met the total amount due from levies to run the cities and special districts, the treasurer explained. Budget estimates from the special districts and cities are always more than what is actually needed since they have to be made a year ahead, so the resulting levy would be higher than the absolute needs, the county treasurer concluded. decision, the government also won an anti-trust ruling that officials acting for corpora tions are subject to the stiff penalties of the Sherman anti trust law as well as the less severe Clayton anti-monopoly law. The Supreme Court re instated several Sherman act charges against corporation officers which were dismissed by lower courts. Chief Justice Earl Warren wrote 51 pages in the shoe case, analyzing for the first time 1950 amendments to the Clayton act designed to plug loopholes in the 1914 statute and bring it up to date. Warren declared it was the intent of Congress to curb "tendencies toward concen tration in industry" in their beginnings, "par ticu larly when those tendencies are being accelerated through giant steps striding across a hundred cities at a time." The opinion said the court agreed with the government that so far as the shoe indus try was concerned "this is an appropriate place at which to call a halt." The judgment means di vorcement of th? Brown Shoe Co. of St. Louis and the G. R. Kinney Co., the nation's larg est retail chain. The Justice Department al so won a victory of sorts in a price discrimination case in volving two big milk distri butors in the Chicago area -Bowman Dairy Co. and the Borden Co. A lower court had accepted the companies' cost justification for price dis counts to chain stores but the Supreme Court ordered more proceedings. The case is 11 years old. In the field of obscenity, the court did not act the way the Justice Department sug gested. Instead, it set aside a post office order barring from the mails three magazines ap ealing to male homosexuals. The court ruled that the magazines were not offensive or indecent enough to be ob scene. A minority of three even said the postmaster gen eral did not have authority from Congress to determine what is too obscene to be mailed. land commission established Inc., Dell Publishing Co., Inc., The court agreed to exam- in 1956 to discourage sales of Pocket Books, Inc., and the Ine next term a book publish- obscene literature.
