United States (384 U.S. 678)
Argued: April 19, 1966. --- Decided: June 13, 1966
Mr. Justice HARLAN, concurring in part and dissenting in part.
Recognizing the case to be difficult, I would affirm the Court of Appeals' decision to allow both the interest and the penalty as administration expenses. On both points, I think there are fair policy arguments which can be mustered to support either result. On balance, it seems to me that the entire period starting with the Chapter XI operation and carrying through the bankruptcy proceeding should be regarded as a continuum of court administration.
