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.

APPEAL FROM THE DISTRICT COURT OF THE UNITED STATES
FOR THE DISTRICT OF MARYLAND
Syllabus
On all application to the Interstate Commerce Commission of two carriers by motor vehicle for permission for one to purchase the property and operating rights of the other, the Commission found that the proposed vendee was controlled through stock ownership by a noncarrier. Held that, by the proposed transaction, the noncarrier would "acquire control of another carrier through ownership of its stock or otherwise," within the purview of § 5(2)(a) of Part I of the Interstate Commerce Act, as amended by the Transportation Act of 1940; that § 5(2)(b) required that application to the Commission for approval be made by the noncarrier, and that, in the absence of an application from the noncarrier, the Commission was without authority to approve the transaction. Pp. 37, 41.
52 F.Supp. 1010 reversed.
Appeal from a decree of a district court of three judges which set aside an order of the Interstate Commerce Commission, 39 M.C.C. 271.
