Congressional
Clerks Are Held .
Entitled 10 Raise
Worren's Ruling Will
Permit Deficits to
Meet New Scale

Congressional clerks are en-
titled to the 10 per cent of pay
increase provided by the new
war pay legislation, despite the
fact there is a $4,000 ceiling on
their statutory salaries, Con-
troller General Warren ruled this
afternoon in a decision to South
Trimble, clerk of the House.
At the same time Mr.. Warren
said the clerks ONCE was entitled
to incur deficit to pay the wage
increase If that is necessary.
This principle is OF importance
throughout the Government as 1t
will permit any agency to incur
a deficit to meet the new wage
scale which is retroactive to De-
cember !.
In holding that the $1,000 CELL
ing would not be a barrier to a pay
raise for the clerks of House mem
bers, Mr.. Warren said that they
were entitled to have the 10 per
cent raise based on the first $4,000
OF their salary as are other per
annum employees who get the fiat
increase.
This means a $500 raise which
would bring the $1,000 salary up to
$3.50, Mr.. Warren pointed out
Workers who do not get the nat
increase are paid at overtime rates.
Mr.. Warren said also that Capi-
tol employees will get the pay raise
without regard to the roll on which
they are carried. This will apply
to all personnel attached to spe-
cial committees.

Highest Court Agrees
To Review Decision
On Flag Salute
Tribunal Will Weigh
Jehovuh's Witnesses
Ruling in West Virginia

Earlier story on page Ally
BY ths Associated Press.
The Supreme Court agreed to-
day to review a decision holding
that school children could not
constitutionally be required to
salute the American flag if they
had religious scruples against
such action.
In 4 1910 decision the court ruled
that a fiag-salute requirement was
not an unconstitutional infringe
rnent Of religious freedom. Chief
Justice Stone dissented at that time
and Justices Black, Douglas and
Murphy, who then voted with the
majority, have since said they
thought the case was wrongly de-
cided."
The litigation acted on today, filed
by the West Virginia State Board
of Education, gave the court an
opportunity to reconsider its 1910
opinion, involving the Minersvile
pa school district.
Three-Judge Decision.
In the West Virginia case three
judge Federal court at Charleston
enjoined members of "Jehovah's
Witnesses" and others in the State
with religious scruples against sa-
luting.
The three-judge court, in an
opinion by Federal Circuit Judge
John ]. Parker, refused to follow
the Supreme Courts 1910 ruling on
the ground that four out of seven
participating justices now on the
court were opposed to it. Justice
Jackson was not a member of the
tribunal in 1910 and there is one
vacancy.
Among other actions today, the
court:
Ruled in a 7-to-0 decision by JUS
tice Stone that Federal Govern
ment's unrecorded lien for estate
taxes has precedence over liens OBJ
tanned by the holder of mortgages
and over liens for unpaid State and
local real estate taxes.
The National Institute of Law Of
ficers, representing 1874 municipai-
ties, told the Supreme Court that a
decision in favor of the Federal
Government would lin effect destroy
the value of the tax upon which
municipal government must base
its very existence"
The suit was brought by the
United States in 1886 to foreclose
its lien for unpaid Federal estate
taxes and interest, aggregating
$1,000 on the estate of John P.
Paul of Detroit, who died in 1926.
Justice Murphy did not participate.
Land Condemnation.
Held that just compensation for
land condemned by the Federal
Government for a public project
should not include increases in value
resulting from announcement of the
project for which the land later was
taken.
Justice Roberts delivered the unan-
imous opinion, specifically affecting
a small tract obtained by the Gov
eminent in connection with con-
struction of the Shasta (California)
Dam, part Of the Central Valley
project.
Upheld a Justice Department con-
tention that interest on the price
paid for property should be taxed as
ordinary income and not as capital
gain was upheld.
Justice Reed delivered the unan-
imous decision, involving interest
paid Henry A. Kieselbach on real
estate taken by New York City in
condemnation proceedings.

WB Orders Wage Boost

The War Labor Board today or
dered higher wage minimums and
inclusion of maintenance of men,

the Burlington IN. c. Dyeing &
Finishing Co.-but both plants are
closed.
OF the company's A plants only
two were involved in the WLB case.
The company closed both November
rs after the panel recommended pay
increases to the board. The man.
agement said it closed the plants
because of changes in the type of
business it handled.
The CLIO Textile Workers Union,
which won bargaining rights at
those two plants in 1889 and has
been negotiating with the company
since then. commended the shutdown
was inspired by anti-unionism and
asked that the board order the
plants reopened or take other punt
tive action. The boards directive
ignored the demand, except to di-
rect that its order shall be effective
when the plants are reopened.

Pennsy Develops
Box-Cor Type
Troop Cars
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Box-car type cars soon may be
used to carry troops.
Because of the shortage of pas
senger equipment. the Pennsylvania
Railroad developed three expert
mental models and brought them
here for inspection by Federal ON
Gals.
The Office of Defense Transport
tation said today that use of the
cars depended on Army approval.
but such action could be regarded
as probable.
Oficials who inspected the cars
described them as pretty nice"
One car is sleeper, with portfolio
style windows and three tiers Of
hunks. The top tier remains sta
tionary, but the lower two tiers can
be made into lengthwise seats for
day travel.
Another car is for cooking, the
third for recreation. The recreation
car has all the facilities of q reg
ular club car, but lacks some Of the
refinements.
If the Army approves the cars,
1t was regarded as probable that
additional cars would be built from
scratch" rather than converted out
of old freight cars.
The War Production Board has
made no allotment for 1913 con-
struction of passenger cars. Pre-
sumably, however, part of its allot-
ment for freight cars could be used
for troop cars. which could be built
more quickly and with less mate
rial than regular passenger units.

letter he sent December 81 to Mr..

ommending that, until simplihed ra-

worked out for agricultural uses,
farmers be given whatever gasoline
they need.
If we rely more on the integrity
Of the individual we will get further
than by the punitive approach" Mr..

He made the statement after Sem
ator O'Daniel, Democrat, of Texas,
had drawn from his letter the in
ference that officials should ignore
the original farm gas rationing reg
ulations until simplified rules are
worked out.
Mr.. Henderson said enforcement
problems were aggravated by reluc-
lance to accept gasoline rationing,
and few persons would inform on
violators of the regulations, Mr..
Henderson told a Senate Committee
investigating oil shortages.
MY guess is that the full serious
ness of it never has permeated; that,
together with the freedom that peo-
pie attach to their movements" he
testified. THE English experience
has been similar.

slight damage, the communique
added.
The destroyers, presumably headed
for rendezvous to leave stores for
Japanese forces trapped on Guadal-
canal, were attacked in what the
Navy termed isolated engagements"
The northwestern end of Guadal-
canal is about 20 miles from Hender-
son Airfield, which is near the center
of the island.
This was the first mention of
Japanese naval vessels near the
island in about a month, and the
first attack by enemy aircraft at
that point for some time On Deem
Der %, 80 cargo parachutes, laden
with supplies, were found on the
beach at the north side of the island,
obviously dropped from a plane
which flew over in the night. The
supplies were bombed and strafed
early in the morning by our flyers.
The Navy gave no further details
OF the torpedo boat attack. This
also was first mention of PIT boats
in the Guadalcanal area.
1t was not made clear whether
any Of the destroyers got through
the torpedo boat attack to make con-
tact with the shore, or whether they
all were driven off. The desperate
need OF the remaining japanese for
food and medical supplies has been
stressed lately in news stories from
the island and by word of mouth
from persons who have returned.
