The United States Post Office, Incorporated: A Blueprint For Reform, Stanley Siegel Feb 1968

The United States Post Office, Incorporated: A Blueprint For Reform, Stanley Siegel

Michigan Law Review

For several generations, the United States Post Office has been the textbook demonstration of the inefficiency of the government in business. To some, the solution to its problems lies only in turning over its functions to free enterprise. A more constructive and politic approach is to inquire whether a structural arrangement falling somewhere between that of a governmental department and that of a privately owned business would permit the Post Office to achieve some of the efficiencies of private enterprise without compromising the most essential elements of public responsibility. This approach has been given new timeliness by the proposal of …


Fcc V. Schreiber: In Camera And The Administrative Agency, Harvey L. Zuckman Jan 1968

Fcc V. Schreiber: In Camera And The Administrative Agency, Harvey L. Zuckman

Scholarly Articles

Obtaining protection for business secrets in an agency proceeding is at best an imperfect art. The lack of any uniform rule and the confusion and delay which result from an ad hoc approach are highlighted by FCC v. Schreiber. The authors examine the current state of the law in light of the Schreiber decision and point up the present inequities. Their conclusion is that the situation can only be remedied by enactment of regulatory in camera procedures for all federal agencies. A model for such a regulation is appended to the article.

Jurisdiction--Libel--First Amendment's Role In Determining Place Of Trial In Libel Actions, Michigan Law Review Jan 1968

Jurisdiction--Libel--First Amendment's Role In Determining Place Of Trial In Libel Actions, Michigan Law Review

Michigan Law Review

The seeming unfairness of basing jurisdiction solely on such ordinarily inconsequential acts as mailing a newspaper into another state has troubled some courts. Traditionally, the validity of such a jurisdictional basis would be judged against the fourteenth amendment standard of "fair play." In several recent cases, however, courts have brought to bear constitutional standards of free speech as well as of fairness in dealing with the problem of jurisdiction over the out-of- state defendant in a libel action. The Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit, in deciding New York Times Co. v. Connor, ruled that "First Amendment considerations …

Radio Frequency Allocation In The Public Interest: Federal Government And Civilian Use, Stanley D. Metzger, Bernie R. Burrus Jan 1965

Radio Frequency Allocation In The Public Interest: Federal Government And Civilian Use, Stanley D. Metzger, Bernie R. Burrus

Duquesne Law Review

It has long been recognized that the radio frequency spectrum is a vital natural resource requiring government allocation and regulation.' The resource is a fixed or finite one, and has many claimants for its use. Moreover, as the Communications Satellite Program demonstrates, the problem of physical limitation is an accelerating one, as new uses increase the saturation of available spectrum space. Indeed, President Truman's statement of fifteen years ago would appear particularly appropriate today.

Actual Expenses Of Ohio Utility Are Considered In Computing Rates Even Though The Hypothetical Company Technique Is Used-General Tel. Co. V. Public Util. Comm'n, Michigan Law Review Dec 1964

Actual Expenses Of Ohio Utility Are Considered In Computing Rates Even Though The Hypothetical Company Technique Is Used-General Tel. Co. V. Public Util. Comm'n, Michigan Law Review

Michigan Law Review

The Public Utilities Commission of Ohio established rates for plaintiff telephone company. In determining the gross annual revenues to which the company was entitled, the Commission allowed, as an item of expense, 112 thousand dollars less for federal income tax than the company would actually be required to pay during the year in question. The allowance for taxes was calculated by following the so-called "hypothetical company" formula as apparently required by a recent line of Ohio Supreme Court decisions. On direct appeal to the Ohio Supreme Court, held, order reversed, two judges dissenting. The utility company should be allowed …


Prejudicial In11uence On Jury Of Newspaper Published During Trial-People V. Purvis, Michigan Law Review Nov 1964

Prejudicial In11uence On Jury Of Newspaper Published During Trial-People V. Purvis, Michigan Law Review

Michigan Law Review

Defendant had been paroled after serving four years of a sentence for second degree murder. While on parole, he was tried for another homicide and convicted of murder in the first degree. In separate penalty trials, juries had twice assessed the death sentence, which, on both occasions, had been set aside by the reviewing court. During the third trial, the Sunday newspaper in the local county published a front-page article attacking the leniency of the parole system, attributing the area's high crime rate partly to the recidivist tendencies of parolees, and quoting the county sheriff's opinion that defendant should be …

Communications Satellites--Progress And The Road Ahead, Bernard G. Segal

Vanderbilt Law Review

The declared policy of the United States is the establishment of a global system of communications satellites which will serve our needs and those of other countries, which will permit the participation of all nations, and which will contribute to world peace and understanding." Such a system, President Kennedy stated, is a vital element in the march of civilization. For lawyers to have a meaningful understanding of the developments in this new and important endeavor requires some understanding of the basic technology of communications satellites, of applicable legislation, and of the international problems involved. This article will attempt to present …

Securities Regulation-Applicability Of Exchange Act Section 10(B) To Transaction Effected By Means Of Intrastate Telephone Call, Michael A. Warner

Michigan Law Review

Plaintiff alleged that he had been defrauded in a sale of securities to the defendant. Plaintiff attempted to invoke section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1984, which prohibits various fraudulent practices in securities trading. In order to state a cause of action under 10(b), it was necessary for plaintiff to allege that a means or instrumentality of interstate commerce had been used directly or indirectly in connection with the sale. The sale in this case had been effected through telephone conversations over wires located within the city of Philadelphia. However, the wires carrying the calls could be used …

Administrative Law--Procedure--Right Of Interention In Fcc Rate-Making Proceeding, Jon E. Denney Mar 1963

Administrative Law--Procedure--Right Of Interention In Fcc Rate-Making Proceeding, Jon E. Denney

Michigan Law Review

In response to a petition of the Western Union Telegraph Company, the Federal Communications Commission began an investigation of the American Telephone and Telegraph Company's tariff charges on its "telpak" service. The American Communications Association, a trade union representing Western Union workers in the New York City area, petitioned to intervene. The hearing examiner's decision to deny intervention was affirmed by the Commission. A motion for reconsideration was also denied by the FCC because the union failed to show how its intervention in the proceeding would assist the Commission in determining the issues, as required by the rule reserving to …

Constitutional Law-Freedom Of The Press-Right Of News Media Personnel To Refuse To Disclose Confidenial Sources Of Information, Francis X. Beytagh Jr., S.Ed

Michigan Law Review

A former personnel director of a local Civil Service Commission instituted an action for reinstatement to that position, alleging that her recent ouster was illegal. In preparing for trial, defendant commission members took the deposition of a reporter for a local newspaper. Appellant reporter stated on direct examination that his suspicions regarding a contemplated attempt to fire plaintiff were in part based on certain information received from a confidential source. On pre-trial cross-examination appellant refused to disclose the source of this information, and plaintiff obtained a court order directing him to do so. On interlocutory appeal, held, order affirmed, …

The Law-Making Treaties Of The International Telecommunication Union Through Time And In Space, J. Henry Glazer Jan 1962

The Law-Making Treaties Of The International Telecommunication Union Through Time And In Space, J. Henry Glazer

Michigan Law Review

On the twenty-fifth of June, the Government of the United States of America received an invitation to attend in Russia a conference of plenipotentiaries to consider the revision of an important multilateral convention. Since the conference involved matters which, by American municipal practice, were solely within the competence of private enterprise and not subject to the control of government, the United States at first refused to attend. Russia, however, assured the United States that representatives of private enterprises would be welcome. Relations between these two countries were on such a friendly basis that the United States accepted the invitation extended …
