WASHINGTON, Dec. 9 Supreme Court handed today to Congress and the administration in two emphatic opinions new warnings against encroachment upon rights reserved to the states by the constitution. Justice Cardozo, classed among the court's liberals, reported the unanimous belief of the tribunal that a section of the Home Owner's Loan Act of 1933 could not be interpreted as authorizing state building and loan associations to acquire Federal charters against a state's wishes. Justice Roberts read a 6-to-3 cision that tho Federal Government) could not impose a special tax on liquor manufacturers and dealers who operated in states which remained dry following repeal of prohibition.

The HOLC case Involved an appeal by three Wisconsin associations against a state supremo court ruling that failure to obtain state permission barred them from obtaining Federal charters even though their stockholders had up- proved tho move. While the government was not a direct party in this case, HOLC lawyers argued as a "friend of the court" that a section of the act authorized such conversion even over state objections In the interest of the "general welfare." Of significance to some lawyers, involving a question as to whether some members of the court possibly might feel that conversion even with stato permission was questionable, was this paragraph; "Confining ourselves now to tho precise and narrow question presented upon the records here before us, wo hold that the conversion of petitioners from state Into Federal associations is of no effect when voted against the protest of Wisconsin.
