Foreign Corporations And Local Corporate Policy, Stanley A. Kaplan
Foreign Corporations And Local Corporate Policy, Stanley A. Kaplan
Vanderbilt Law Review
This article will not attempt to document the thesis that there are corporate abuses or that an enabling act is less desirable than a regulatory type of statute. It is sufficient to assert or presume that there may be internal corporate abuses and that it may be desirable for some states, if they so choose, to have corporation statutes which are more than enabling acts and which limit or regulate specified aspects of corporate conduct. The question of whether it is feasible for a state to maintain a corporation statute which attempts closely to regulate the internal affairs of the …
Income Tax: Corporations--Incorporated Professional Service Organization Taxable As A Corporation; Kintner Regulations Held Invalid--Empey V. United States, Michigan Law Review
Income Tax: Corporations--Incorporated Professional Service Organization Taxable As A Corporation; Kintner Regulations Held Invalid--Empey V. United States, Michigan Law Review
Michigan Law Review
Lawrence G. Empey, a lawyer, was employed by the Drexler and Wald Professional Company, an association of attorneys that had incorporated in 1961 pursuant to the Colorado Corporation Code and rule 265 of the Colorado Rules of Civil Procedure. Empey began his employment with Drexler and Wald in March 1965, and in November of the same year he acquired ten shares (ten per cent) of the outstanding capital stock of the corporation. On his 1965 federal income tax return, he reported income consisting of his salary as an employee of the company for ten months and ten per cent of …

The Rational Regulation Of Union Restrictive Practices, Theodore J. St. Antoine
The Rational Regulation Of Union Restrictive Practices, Theodore J. St. Antoine
Book Chapters
Power begets regulation. As union strength grew during recent decades, the federal laissez-faire policy of Norris-LaGuardia and the original Wagner Act gave way to increasingly tighter controls under Taft-Hartley and Landrum-Griffin. Considering the favored position of economic efficiency in our national ethos, it is not surprising that a significant portion of the new controls were directed at union practices which were thought to impede the fullest utilization of employers' productive resources. From time to time, however, thoughtful observers have questioned whether our legal regulation of union activity was properly attuned to the actual needs and economic power of labor and …
Regulation Of Finance Charges On Consumer Instalment Credit, Robert W. Johnson
Regulation Of Finance Charges On Consumer Instalment Credit, Robert W. Johnson
Michigan Law Review
The subject of adequate disclosure of finance charges in consumer credit transactions has, in recent years, "become a rallying point for consumers and a battle line for industry." Equal heat is generated by discussions concerning the regulation of finance charges on consumer instalment credit. The aim of this article is to examine briefly the existing pattern of rate regulation and then to explore the purposes of ceilings on consumer finance charges and the problems involved in their design. As is true with the question of disclosure of finance charges, the problems are extremely complex. Men of good will on both …

Federal Trade Commission Regulation Of Advertising, Earl W. Kintner
Federal Trade Commission Regulation Of Advertising, Earl W. Kintner
Michigan Law Review
The success of an economic democracy, no less than that of a political democracy, depends upon informed, intelligent choice. Thus, the widespread dissemination of information with respect to alternatives is imperative; otherwise, choices would be made in a vacuum and would become meaningless, if not plainly capricious. However, there is no paucity of information in our contemporary society; the so-called "mass media" ensure that. Indeed, modern man can hardly escape, even if he should so desire, the constant bombardment of information from television, radio, newspapers, billboards, and other sources.
Products Liability Based Upon Violation Of Statutory Standards, Joseph H. Ballway Jr.
Products Liability Based Upon Violation Of Statutory Standards, Joseph H. Ballway Jr.
Michigan Law Review
Regulatory enactments controlling production and distribution can give rise in several different ways to civil liability on behalf of persons injured by non-conforming merchandise. For instance, if a statute codifies existing common-law rules of negligence, its effect is merely to place the weight of legislative authority behind ordinary negligence principles. Since an injured party's recovery under such a provision still depends largely upon his proving in the traditional manner that a defendant failed to exercise due care, this kind of statute merits no further discussion. On the other hand, if particular legislation expressly states that a violator may be subjected …
The Accumulated Earnings Tax And The Problem Of Diversification, James C. Westin
The Accumulated Earnings Tax And The Problem Of Diversification, James C. Westin
Michigan Law Review
While diversification is now considered a legitimate corporate need authorizing the accumulation of earnings and profits, the present standards of the Regulations under section 531, which, in general, test the reasonableness of corporate accumulations by the requirement of "specific, definite, and feasible plans" for use of the funds, seem too restrictive in terms of the problems of diversification as outlined above. In light of this criticism and of recent developments, the purposes of this comment are (1) to indicate the basic principles of section 531, an understanding of which is vital to corporations anticipating retention of funds for the purpose …
Antitrust And The Consumer Interest, Kenneth S. Carlston, James M. Treece
Antitrust And The Consumer Interest, Kenneth S. Carlston, James M. Treece
Michigan Law Review
Public control of business in the United States has proceeded, in most sectors of the economy, on the assumption that free, open competition in the market should be the primary regulator. It is felt that consumer welfare will be maximized by such an organization of the economy. Courts, governmental agencies, and, to a certain extent, private agencies have performed the role of ensuring that free markets are not displaced by other, less desirable alternatives.
Firearms Legislation, Joe B. Brown
Firearms Legislation, Joe B. Brown
Vanderbilt Law Review
Throughout recorded history men have armed themselves with weapons for use against their fellow men and for protection from environmental hazards. An increasing population combined with increasingly effective and deadly weapons has created a problem in the control of private weapons. At the present time every state and district in the United States and the federal government have some restrictions on firearms.' Are they adequate? Many think not. A recent Gallup Poll shows that seventy-three per cent of the people in the United States would favor a law requiring a police permit before a person could buy a gun. Even …
William 0. Douglas -- His Work In Policing Bankruptcy Proceedings, John W. Hopkirk
William 0. Douglas -- His Work In Policing Bankruptcy Proceedings, John W. Hopkirk
Vanderbilt Law Review
William 0. Douglas, while associated with the Securities and Exchange Commission during the mid-nineteen thirties, was responsible for a study of methods and procedures of corporate reorganization. By examining this area of Douglas' work, we can compare the position on corporate reorganization which the Justice developed as an administrative official for the New Deal with his later consideration of the same problems as a member of the Supreme Court of the United States. Through this comparison we can observe a number of basic attitudes which were manifested by Douglas both before and since he has joined the Court. Important among …
Statutory Regulation Of Hypnosis, James T. Brennan
Statutory Regulation Of Hypnosis, James T. Brennan
Cleveland State Law Review
Hypnotism and state hypnotists caused quite a stir in the first quarter of the Twentieth Century. Several of the existing statutes on hypnotism were passed at that time. Then, for about a quarter of a century, hypnotism was legislatively forgotten. Recently, pressure groups in the form of hypnotic, psychological, psychiatric and medical societies have been lobbying for legislation prohibiting hypnotism by laymen. As the hypnotist vote isn't very large, the activities of these pressure groups have been ignored for the most part. Statutes on hypnotism generally seek either to regulate stage hypnotism, the hypnosis of minors, or medical use of …
The Expanding Jurisdiction Of The Securities And Exchange Commission: Variable Annuities And Bank Collective Investment Funds, John W. Erickson
The Expanding Jurisdiction Of The Securities And Exchange Commission: Variable Annuities And Bank Collective Investment Funds, John W. Erickson
Michigan Law Review
The Securities and Exchange Commission is presently attempting to assert jurisdiction over certain aspects of two industries traditionally exempt from federal securities regulation-insurance and banking. The SEC claims that two recently developed investment vehicles-variable annuities in the insurance field and pooled funds of managing agency accounts in the banking field-are virtually the same as mutual funds, which are subject to SEC regulation under the Investment Company Act of 1940. (A mutual fund is essentially a fund (usually in corporate form), the participants' contributions to which are collectively invested in a portfolio of securities, each participation representing a pro rata interest …
Constitutional Law-Relation Of Federal And State Governments- Applicability Of State Minimum Price Regulations To Federal Procurement, Alexander E. Bennett
Constitutional Law-Relation Of Federal And State Governments- Applicability Of State Minimum Price Regulations To Federal Procurement, Alexander E. Bennett
Michigan Law Review
The United States accepted the lowest bids for the supply of milk at three military installations in California. Because these bids were below the minimum prices for wholesale milk prescribed by state law, California instituted proceedings in the state courts for civil damages and injunctive relief against the successful bidders. The United States brought a separate action in a federal district court asking that the state be enjoined from applying its minimum price regulations to milk purchases by the armed services on the grounds that the military installations were federal enclaves over which the United States has exclusive jurisdiction and …

Antiturst Law-Exemptions For Regulated Industries - Applicability Of The Antitrust Laws To Stock Exchanges, Peter D. Byrnes S.Ed.
Michigan Law Review
Defendant, the New York Stock Exchange, directed its members to discontinue their direct private wire connections with plaintiffs who were non-member brokers. These private wire connections were utilized primarily for facilitating transactions in the over-the-counter market. Repeated requests by plaintiffs for reinstatement were ignored, and the defendant refused to apprise the plaintiffs of the reasons for its action. Plaintiffs then brought suit, seeking damages and injunctive relief pursuant to sections 4 and 16 of the Clayton Act. Maintaining that defendant's conduct violated section 1 of the Sherman Act, plaintiffs moved for summary judgment. Held, motion granted.6 Defendant does not …
State Control Of Radiation Hazards: An Intergovernmental Relations Problem, Samuel D. Estep, Martin Adelman
State Control Of Radiation Hazards: An Intergovernmental Relations Problem, Samuel D. Estep, Martin Adelman
Michigan Law Review
The purpose of this article is to set forth the nature of the intergovernmental problem. This involves an analysis of the extent and limitations of federal power, a determination of congressional intent on the issue of federal pre-emption, and an appraisal of the steps now being taken by the Atomic Energy Commission to turn over part of the radiation safety regulatory program to the states.
Removal Of Judicial Functions From Federal Trade Commission To A Trade Court: A Reply To Mr. Kintner, Raoul Berger
Removal Of Judicial Functions From Federal Trade Commission To A Trade Court: A Reply To Mr. Kintner, Raoul Berger
Michigan Law Review
Not long ago, Attorney General Rogers stated that, "The entire field of administrative law and of Government regulation may require a searching re-examination of some of the premises on which we have based our conclusions." What lifts this utterance to the level of "man bites dog" is that the Attorney General almost alone among federal administrators does not insist that the administrative process, in major outline, is forever frozen. The orthodox administrative view is exemplified by Mr. Earl W. Kintner's (formerly General Counsel and now Chairman of the Federal Trade Commission) numerous strictures upon the American Bar Association proposal that …
International Control Of The Safety Of Nuclear-Powered Merchant Ships, William H. Berman, Lee M. Hydeman
International Control Of The Safety Of Nuclear-Powered Merchant Ships, William H. Berman, Lee M. Hydeman
Michigan Law Review
In recent years we have witnessed the transition of nuclear-powered ships from an imaginative dream to an engineering reality. This vast step from the drawing board to successful operation on the high-seas has taken place in a remarkably short span of time. Nevertheless, in the :flush of enthusiasm over the technological achievement, we must not lose sight of the fact that the promise of nuclear power for the propulsion of ships will not have been fulfilled until nuclear vessels are operating safely and economically over the maritime trade routes of the world. It would be unrealistic to assume that further …
Radiation Protection Regulation: An Opportunity For Cooperative Federalism, Robert L. Hamilton, William A.W. Krebs, Jr.
Radiation Protection Regulation: An Opportunity For Cooperative Federalism, Robert L. Hamilton, William A.W. Krebs, Jr.
Vanderbilt Law Review
The purpose of this article is to explore the question of how governmental responsibility for regulation of radiation hazards associated with atomic energy activities may best be allocated between the federal government and the states. While division of such responsibility is theoretically not essential--it being legally conceivable that the federal government could shoulder the entire responsibility alone or could leave it entirely to the states--various factors which will be mentioned below appear to make some sort of division of responsibility a practical necessity. To explore this question of division of responsibility, we shall first review the nature of radiation and …

Atoms And The Law, E. Blythe Stason, Samuel D. Estep, William J. Pierce
Books
Early in 1951 a group of interested members of the faculty of The University of Michigan Law School conceived the idea of a research project, the purpose of which would be to investigate the principal unique legal problems being created and likely to be created in the future by peaceful uses of atomic energy. The group planned the preparation and publication of a series of manuscripts which might ultimately emerge as one or more printed volumes dealing with the legal problems affecting this new form of energy. Many phases of the subject were scrutinized, including the rule-making and licensing powers …

Atomic Energy And The Law: A Bibliography, Eileen M. Murphy
Vanderbilt Law Review
To compile a bibliography, it is a prerequisite that one be a lover of books. It is hoped that this paper will be of assistance to those in need and secondarily, that it might possibly open the world of the bibliophile to many others and give Brooklyn a little competition. Atomic energy is a fascinating field for the bibliographer; the surface has yet to be scratched. The work presented is divided into seven sections:
I. Atomic Energy Legislation, 1946-1958.
II. Publications of the Joint Committee on Atomic Energy, 1945/46-1958.
III. Books. (Annotated.)

Insurance - Federal Regulation - Authority Of Federal Trade Commission To Regulate False Advertising By Insurance Companies As Affected By The Mccarran-Ferguson Act, Charles C. Moore S.Ed.
Michigan Law Review
Petitioner, the FTC, issued cease and desist orders prohibiting respondent health and accident insurance companies, doing business in interstate commerce, from disseminating allegedly false and deceptive advertising through the medium of local agents. These orders, issued pursuant to the FTC act, sought to proscribe such activity both in states that had statutes prohibiting unfair and deceptive practices and in states that did not. The Courts of Appeals for the Fifth and Sixth Circuits concluded that the FTC had no authority to regulate such advertising in states which had prohibitory legislation. On certiorari to the United States Supreme Court, held, …
Competition Versus Regulation: The Agricultural Exemption In The Motor Carrier Act, Carl H. Fulda
Competition Versus Regulation: The Agricultural Exemption In The Motor Carrier Act, Carl H. Fulda
Vanderbilt Law Review
Transportation of passengers or property by motor carriers engaged in interstate or foreign commerce has been subject to federal regulation by the Interstate Commerce Commission since 1935. At that time motor carriers in intrastate commerce were regulated in all the states of the Union by state commissions which controlled entry into the industry, rates, and safety of operations, but there was no comparable federal regulation. The Federal Motor Carrier Act of 1935, now part II of the Interstate Commerce Act,' was intended to fill this gap by creating a federal regulatory scheme similar to that provided by the states. In …

Regulatory Responsibility In The Atomic Energy Program ( A Symposium), Paul C. Aebersold, W. A. Kitts, Frank Norton, George E. Thoma Jr.
Cleveland State Law Review
The regulatory actions taken by federal, state and local governments will exert a great impact on the present and future development of the civilian atomic energy program. All are aware of the tremendous potential that atomic energy holds for mankind. All are equally aware, on the negative side, of the potential radiation hazards associated with the use of radiation and radioactive materials. These hazards must be controlled so that the full realization of atomic energy benefits may be enjoyed.
State Power Over The Federal Contractor: A Problem In Federalism, Arthur S. Miller
State Power Over The Federal Contractor: A Problem In Federalism, Arthur S. Miller
Vanderbilt Law Review
In large measure both the federal officials, whose job it is to enter the commercial market to fulfill the government's material needs, and the federal contractor, wherever he may be and of whatever size he may be, tend to look upon attempts by states to tax or regulate with a skeptical eye. The state appears as some alien interloper whose activities result only in hardship and delay to the contractor and consequent annoyance and financial cost to the federal government. By and large, accordingly, a prevailing idea in the federal procurement circles seems to be that of avoiding, whenever possible, …
