General SummaryThis case is from a collection containing the full text of over 16,000 Supreme Court cases from 1793 to the present. The body of Supreme Court decisions are, effectively, the final interpretation of the Constitution. Only an amendment to the Constitution can permanently overturn an interpretation and this has happened only four times in American history.

Silberschein v. United States No. 66 Argued October 13, 1924 Decided November 17, 1924 266 U.S. 221
ERROR TO THE DISTRICT COURT OF THE UNITED STATES
FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF MICHIGAN
Syllabus
1. The War Risk Insurance Act, as amended, commits to the Director of the Veterans’ Bureau the duty and authority of administering its provisions and of deciding all questions arising under it. P. 225.
2. The decision of the Director upon a right to compensation claimed under the act is final and conclusive, and not subject to judicial review, at least unless the decision be wholly unsupported by evidence, wholly dependent upon a question of law, or clearly arbitrary or capricious. Id.
3. The act authorizes the Director to discontinue compensation which he finds to have been erroneously awarded. P. 224.
4. Disability, to be compensable under the statute, must have resulted from injury or disease caused or aggravated in the line of duty. Id.
5. Evidence tending to prove the unsoundness of the Director’s determination of a matter properly submitted to his judgment held to fall far short of proving the determination arbitrary. P. 224.
285 F. 397 affirmed.
Error to a judgment of the district court dismissing an action brought against the United States under subdivision 20 of Jud.Code § 24 on a claim for compensation under the War Risk Insurance Act upon the ground that the determination of the matter by the Director of the Veterans’ Bureau was final and not reviewable by the courts.
