Conferees Begin Work
On Portal Pay Bills;
Velo Is Predicted
ly th· AugciaUd Pr«i
; House and Senate conferees,
cpnfronted by what one member
(jescribed as "substantial differ
ences" in legislation agaiiyst
portal pay, today tackled the
msIc of reaching a compromise.
.Once that is accomplished; it rt
fialns to be seen whether President
Truman will sign or veto the bill.
Hiere have been predictions of a
«to.
The No. 1 aim of the bills passed
both houses is to erase liability
for $6,000,000,000 m back pay claims
against industry. These resulted
îmm a Supreme Court ruling that
wages could be sought for nonpro
ductive activities controlled by the j
employer, such as portal-to-portal
talking time.
The conference committees or
ganized yesterday, naming Senator
Donnell, Republican, of Missouri as
chairman. Members said "there ap
jÂars to be every disposition to get
(5>wn to business."
Blow at Ware-Hour Law Feared.
^Opponents charged during de
bate that the House and Senate
bills went beyond their original pur
pose of upsetting the Nation-wide
«tack of portal claims. Some Sen
ators expressed fear the bill in their
chamber would strike a blow at ,
the wage-hour law. Supporters
pooh-poohed this contention and
called the claims a threat to the
N&tion's economy.
Senator Lucas, Democrat, of Illi
nois said he believed President Tru
man would veto the bill passed by
the Senate, and Senator Pepper,
Democrat, of Florida chimed in with
the hope that Mr. Truman would :
dô so.
One man in dally contact with (
tlie President gave as his personal
opinion today that no bill acceptable
ttf Mr. Truman is likely to come
fijom Congress.
:Two Major Differences in Bills.
_TTiere are two major differences ,
lii the House and Senate versions.
.'The first deals with future claims.
Oie House bill outlaws them all,
on the same basis as pending suits.
The Senate bill wipes out future
pay claims for portal activities be
fore and after the regular work day,
defined as the worker's "period of
principal activity," î>ut it leaves
back-wage claims foi" portal activi
ties during the worK day to court
settlement or collective bargaining. !
The other important difference is
on statute of limitation provisions.
The House bill fixes » one-year time
limit after the work was done for
the filing of any qualified claims.
The Senate measure fixes a two
year limit.
Seek to Avoid New Court Test.
Meanwhile, countel for employes
cf the Mount Clemens (Mich.) Pot
tery Co., whose portal suit resulted
in the Supreme Court ruling, moved
yesterday to avoid another immed
diate test in the high court and thus
force Congress and Mr. Truman to
art.
After the tribunal handed down
its Cteciston./.the case wail returned
to Federal JMstrlct Judge Frank A.
Picard of Detroit to determine how
much the pottery workers should re
ceive. Judge Picard dismissed the
suit on the ground that the work
time involved was inconsequential.
The employes appealed to the Cin
cinnati coijft, Attorney General
Clfttk then asked the Supreme Court
for an immediate renew of the ac
tion.
Edward Lamb, attorney for the
employes, yesterday filed a motion to
dismiss the appeal. A representa
tive of the workers said this would
head ofT another Supreme Court
ruline right away.

When searched.
Mr. O'Hara expressed confidence
that the Hebert bill would plug the
loophole in the law which made it
possible for criminals and would-be
criminals to carry revolvers and pis
tole without fear of going to jail.
Until Congress passes this bill po
lice will not be able to get a convic
tion in a concealed weapons case
unless they had a warrant for the
person's arrest, actually saw him

on some other charge.
Mr. O'Hara said he believed the
bQl in its present form provides
more protection for the good cit
izens and better enforcement than
the uniform firearms act, which is
a model code adopted by some
States. He said he felt the bill is
aimed at the problem here and is
bi the best interest of public wel
fare. Demands for passage of such
a measure arose after two recent

ilement.
The statement was elicited from
SAM authorities by newsmen after
engthy efforts to get the organlza
ion to define its attitude toward
Sing Paul.
King Paul, In a statement to the
3reek people Tuesday night, de
:lared that he had been "called on
»day to continue" the task begun
ay his brother, King George, and
idded:
"Our eternal fatherland is calling
is today to a struggle of existence
tor her independence and her liber
lies. United we shall bring this
struggle to an end."
The EAM spokesthan, who refused
a permit use of his name, said in his
itatement today:
"The personal change in the
ihrone will play no role at all. The
juestion is whether there is going
\o take place any real change in
;he political situation in Greece.
\s long as the internal situation
s guided by anomalous motives,
;he change in the throne will not
;ffect the development of the sit
lation in any way."
Spring Offensive Discussed.
The new King was reported last
night to be going over the final de
tails of an κΐΐ-out spring offensive
against the mountain guerrillas, an
offensive approved by his brother
before be died.
Athens morning newspapers all
said the Greek army started oper
ations early yesterday against guer
rillas in the regions of Mount
Olympus and Mount Pieria, north
of Larisa, and of Mount Paikan
near the Yugoslav border. They re
ported these operations developing
favorably for the government.
The liberal newspaper Vima said
guerrillas had slain three priests and
27 other civilians in widespread at
tacks in Thrace and Macedonia in
the last 24 hours.
The Ministry of Public Order said
that a Populist member of Parlia- '
ment, Euthymios Dedoussis, was
killed yesterday while leading a mo
bile gendarmerie contingent against
a band of 800 guerrillas.
Dedoussis, a former regular army
officer who had resigned to run for
Parliament in 1946, was killed in a
sharp battle northeast of Patras in
which 24 guerrillas were killed and
15 wdunded, press dispatches said.

Senator Vandenberg estimated
that his address wfculd take no more

was considered extremely signifi

stand of Majority Leader White,
Majority Whip Wherry and Repub

'Phony Propaganda'
On Customs Slash
Assailed by Bridges
By Harold B. Rogers
Chairman Bridges of the Senate
Appropriations Committee today
îondemned what he called the
'phony" propaganda of the Customs
Sureau in attempting to get the
3enate to restore a $3,500,000 appro
priation cut «made by the House in
she Treasury Department appropri
ation biU.
"This is one of the most disgrace
ful episodes In congressional his
tory," the New Hampshire Senator
declared.
He delivered his caustic criticism
it the Customs Bureau and its em
ployes after calling to the witness
itand Harry J. Anslinger, United
States commissioner of narcotics.
Senator Bridges asked Mr. An
ilinger If he agreed with charges
>eing made throughout the country
hat dismissal of the border patrol
md port patrol officials would be an
nvitation for wide-open smuggling
>f drugs.
ι mm mar 1 mm. m »»

He read from newspapers and
etters telling of this threat, and
uriced Mr. Anslinger: "Will the
iountry go completely to hell?"
"That's pretty strong," Mr. An
jlinger answered.
The narcotics chief told the com
mittee that he was "not too much
ilarmed if the customs forces could
be properly deployed to meet the
threat."
Senator Bridges said he„ had re
ceived 5,600 letters and telegrams
:omplaining about the reduction in
;he patrols as a result of the House
appropriation cut.
He said he had replied to about
i.QOO of these, but that roughly 5
per cent of his own letters of re
sponse had come back marked by
;he Post Office Department as "un
known."
Letter Read Into Record.
"TTiis shows how phony the whole
thing was," Senator Bridges said.
'When a division of Government
participates in such a phony, it dis
gusts you, it disgusts me and dis
credits every one connected with it."
Senator Knowland, Republican, of
California read into the record a
letter / an official of the National
Customs Service Association sent to
customs employes urging a cam
paign of letters and telegrams, espe
cially to Senators to ask for resto
ration of the money cut by the
kJ.U uuv^·
After Mr. Anslinger's appearance,
Admiral J. F. Farley testified that
l $36,000,000 House slash in Coast
Guard funds for the next fiscal
year may lead to ship losses which
would far exceed that saving by
Congress.
"I am not being an alarmist
when I prophesy that failure of
crucial aids to navigation and other
facilities can be anticipated," the
Coast Guard commandant said.
Calls Charges "Unfair."
Admiral Farley said the "prop
erty value represented in one large
vessel of cur merchant marine if a \
victim of disaster can in a large'
measure offset the saving" while the I
"value of lives incrplved would, of
course, be incalculable."
He described as "unfair" impli
cations that the Coast Guard had
"deliberately attempted to ag
grandize itself either at the ex
pense of other agencies of the Gov
ernment or the public itself."
In making the $36,000,000k.slash,
the House Appropriation? Commit
tee saw the guard had '^grandiose
designs" when it ft sited $232,000,000
to operate for the 12 months be

This was reduced to J133,000,000
In President Truman's budget rec
ommendations and whittled to $97,
000,000 by the House committee with
the comment that the "Coast Guard
is overstaffed with high-ranking
officers" and attempting to operate
as a "blue water" agency instead
of along domestic coasts.

Mr. Keneipp added.
The traffic director explained
that each city In the national con
test was Judged not only on its
death and injury record but also
on accident analyses, enforcement,
engineering, organization, school
safety and public education.
He announced that Commissioner
John Russell Young, Traffic Inspec

the following telegram from R. O.
Bennett, secretary of the contest:
"Happy to inform you that your

gratulations. Details will follow."
The contest covered all States and
1,355 cities.
Connecticut was the State winner
Df the grand award. It had a mile
age death rate of 4.9 deaths for
every 100,000,000 vehicle miles. Hat
Is about half the national rate, the
Safety Council said.
Winners for 1945 were Iowa in the
State classification and Wichita,
Kans., in the cities division.
Besides the grand awards, divis
ional first place awards, were given
to several states and cities accord
ing to geographical and population
groups. The Council also made sév
irai special awards for excellent
traffic safety conditions for five
years or more.
Cities which won first place In
their population groups were Mem
phis and San Diego, Calif., tied in
the 200.000-300,000 group; Omaha
In the 100,000-200,000 classification;
Hamtramck, Mich., in the 50,000
100,000 group; Rochester, Minn., to
the 25,000-50^000 group; and Logan,
Utah, and Albert Lea, Minn., to the
10,000-25,000 group.
Other States Winners.
The State winners, besides Con
necticut, were Minnesota in the
Midwest and Washington to the
Par West.'
Special awards went to Milwaukee
tor the lowest traffic death rate in
its population group for six years,
Beaver Dam, Wis., eight years with
jut a traffic fatality; Stillwater,
Dkla., and Richmond Heights, Mo.,
seven years without a traffic death,
ind Coshocton, Ohio, five years
without a traffic fatality.
Oak Ridge, Tenn., site of the
Jtomic bomb plant, also received
special recognition for "outstanding
îxcellence in traffic safety."
The contest judges cited 153 cities
with populations between 5,000 and

without a traffic death.

Mrs. Mary E. Gannon, president

Like Helery Robinson, president
of the DFTW, Mrs. Gannon said she

A spokesman said cots and food
provisions would be moved Into tele

In New York, Mr. Payne reported
negotiations for 50,000 Western
Union employes to be hopelessly

only had denied any increase but
was threatening to do away with
existing double time pay for Sun
days and time and one-half for Sat

Mr. Payne said the company also
