TCA LOSES OUT

Oct. 15--Transcontinental and Western Air, Inc., once the holder of some of the fattest governmental air mail contracts, today failed to win the support of the Supreme Court in its fight to regain the subsidies rescinded in February by Postmaster-General James A. Farley.

Without opinion, the court refused to consider the company's appeal from the New York Federal Court ruling that it could not sue Farley for an injunction because such a suit was in substance against the government.

The ruling brought to an end the first chapter in the legal battle of the air lines to regain contracts which they lost when Farley summarily cancelled them and President Roosevelt gave the job of carrying the air mail to the army.
