Landlord And Tenant-Leases-Option In Tenant To Cancel In Case Of Governmental Interference With Use Of Premises, Margaret Groefsema S. Ed.
Michigan Law Review
A lease of real property for an automobile service station contained a provision for termination of the leasehold at the option of the tenant in case "the use of the said premises for an oil and gasoline filling station be prevented, suspended or limited by any zoning statute or ordinance, or any other municipal or governmental action." Held, this clause applied to release the tenant when wartime rationing of gasoline and tires made it unprofitable for him to operate the filling station. Mid-Continent Petroleum Corporation v. Barrett, (Ky. Ct. App. 1944) 181 S.W. (2d) 60.

Wills - Soldiers And Sailors - Intent Necessary For Validity, Robert M. Barton S. Ed.
Michigan Law Review
In December of 1941 decedent was a fireman aboard an oil tanker bound for the Dutch West Indies. While discussing the dangers brought about by the war to merchant shipping, he told a shipmate, "Well, if I get lost or anything--I want Mr. Knight and his people to have what I got, insurance and everything." He repeated this desire to his fellow seaman on several other occasions during the course of the voyage. The vessel reached port safely, but several trips later the decedent was drowned when his ship was torpedoed. Knight claimed the estate, alleging that the statement was …
Termination Of War Contracts: The Contract Settlement Act Of 1944, David A. Goldman
Termination Of War Contracts: The Contract Settlement Act Of 1944, David A. Goldman
Michigan Law Review
Enacted with a background of knowledge gained from the termination of more than 25,000 army and navy contracts having an uncompleted value of approximately $17,000,000,000, the Contract Settlement Act of 1944 was the first of the legislative enactments by which Congress seeks to control the possibility of a rising tide of economic difficulties which might otherwise drown the body politic in a flood of cancellation notices. The passage of the act was preceded by extensive public hearings and debates, during which responsible Government officials and leaders of labor and industry expressed their considered opinions. Congress likewise had the benefit of …
The Authority Of The National War Labor Board Over Labor Disputes, Leonard B. Boudin
The Authority Of The National War Labor Board Over Labor Disputes, Leonard B. Boudin
Michigan Law Review
The National War Labor Board has reached the respectable age of two years. Supported originally only by the President's war powers, it has secured compliance with its orders, has weathered a minor congressional investigation, and has built up a body of decisions whose effect will continue after the war. These facts, as well as certain signs of the conservatism which appears to strike all government agencies at one time or another, entitle the board to a short survey of certain aspects of its jurisdiction and authority.
The Function Of The States, William B. Cudlip
The Function Of The States, William B. Cudlip
Michigan Law Review
For the second time in this century, thoughtful men are studying plans for the stabilization of a post-war world, determined to devise a pattern of peace which shall embody new moral and economic standards and the highest ideals of human liberty, intent on fashioning a design for living under which the nations of the world may find freedom, justice, dignity, and prosperity. In this high adventure the United States has a full role to play, for, without our interest and cooperation, there can be no enduring compact. But, important as this quest may be, another task of at least equal …
A Further Legal Inquiry Into Renegotiation: I, Charles W. Steadman
A Further Legal Inquiry Into Renegotiation: I, Charles W. Steadman
Michigan Law Review
Renegotiation has undergone some important changes which call for consideration. Congress .has undertaken to rewrite the Renegotiation Act. Administrative and procedural developments have created new problems. The act is being attacked as unconstitutional. Procedural technique and statutory interpretations have crystallized sufficiently to permit careful scrutiny. And the problems regarding the determination. of excessive profits, questions of taxation, amortization, cost allowances, as well as the constitutionality of the act, are a challenge to a continued study of this law and its administration.
Law Books Of The Year (1943-44), Hobart R. Coffey
Law Books Of The Year (1943-44), Hobart R. Coffey
Michigan Law Review
Contrary to my inclination and somewhat against my better judgment I have been prevailed upon by the editor to repeat the experiment begun last year, viz., to produce a sort of running account of some of the more important legal publications which have appeared in the last twelve months. It goes almost without saying that a competent review of a single serious work requires both considerable time and space. An adequate critical review of fifty or sixty works would be quite out of the question for anyone who had anything else to do. In my comments on the books which …

Taxation-Assessment Of Government-Owned Property Leased To Private Enterprise, Allen C. Holmes
Michigan Law Review
The Board of Property Assessment, Appeals, and Review of Allegheny County for ad valorem taxes in the state of Pennsylvania increased the assessed value of the realty of the Mesta Machine Company by the sum of $618,000 to include the value of certain additional machinery which had been installed on the premises. The machinery was leased by the United States Government to the company and was placed in the factory in order that the company might manufacture heavy field guns for the Government, under a cost-plus-fixed-fee contract. The legal title and the beneficial ownership of the machinery remained in the …

Termination Of War Department Contracts At The Option Of The Government, David A. Goldman
Michigan Law Review
The United States of America has been mobilized and waging war for more than two years. Every device known to science, every resource of the country, every means of production, has been and is being employed to bring the conflict to a successful conclusion. Public funds, in amounts beyond comprehension, have been appropriated for the production of materiel. As of March r943, the War Department alone had outstanding more than 240,000 contracts in the face amount of approximately $75,000,000,000.
The Impact Of The War On Private Contracts, Werner W. Schroeder
The Impact Of The War On Private Contracts, Werner W. Schroeder
Michigan Law Review
The destruction and impairment of contracts caused by governmental agencies because of the necessities of war production have been more far-reaching than is generally realized. A report that one large industrial organization has been prevented from performance of contracts involving more than one hundred and fifty million dollars gives a hint of the extent of these commercial casualties.
Legal Aspects Of Renegotiation, Charles W. Steadman
Legal Aspects Of Renegotiation, Charles W. Steadman
Michigan Law Review
The Renegotiation Act which became effective April 28, 1942, was designed to eliminate and remove exorbitant profits from war contracts. No other recent statute has been the subject of so much controversy and misunderstanding. Since the beginning of renegotiation of contracts in the late summer and early fall of 1942, policies have been crystalizing and many interpretations of the act have been made, but many more questions as to its meaning must still be answered.
