Union Pacific Railroad Co. v. Heckers, Executive Director, Department of Revenue.
[MAJORITY]
Appeal from Sup. Ct. Colo, dismissed for want of substantial federal question. Mr. Justice Douglas concurs, being of the view that a corporation is not a “person” within the meaning of the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment. Wheeling Steel Corp. v.
