The following excerpt is from United States v. Kusche, 56 F. Supp. 201 (S.D. Cal. 1944):

Browder v. United States, 1940, 312 U.S. 335-338, 61 S.Ct. 599, 85 L.Ed. 862, is authority for the proposition that no single argument has more weight in statutory construction than the plain meaning of the words of the Act.
