DETROIT, Dec. 5.-Offlclals of
local 142, CIO-United Automobile
Workers called members today to
attend a meeting tomorrow to dis
cuss a dispute that has kept the
Graham-Paige Motors Corp. plant
closed for seven days.
A strike, centering in suspension
of % welders who participated in a
stoppage over seniority rights. has
halted work on amphibious tanks
and parts for B-29 Super Fortresses.
Company spokesmen said the man
egement was notified by interna-
tional UAW-CIO officials the en-
ployes would return to work this
morning. but picket lines. apparent
ly established by rebellious union
factions, kept the $500 workers from
entering.

picket lines formed.
The striking employees had voted
last Thursday not to return to work
until the suspended welders resumed
their jobs. The WelderS suspensions
expired this morning.

Munitions Makers S
Conviction for Mail
Fraud Is Reversed

The Supreme Court yesterday re-
versed the conviction of Gustav
Kann of Pittsburgh, former presi-
dent of Triumph Explosives, Inc, of
Elkton, Md, for using the mails to
defraud stockholders of the concern,
munitions manufacturer.
The 54 opinion, read by Justice
Roberts, said the alleged use of the
mails was merely incidental and
collateral to the scheme and not
A part of it."
Justices Douglas, Black, Jackson
and Rutledge dissented
Received Three Year Sentence.
The Government accused Mr..
kann of taking part in a plan to
divert, through a subsidiary COM
pany, $1,500000 in profits from a
Government contract for incendiary
bombs. He was convicted in Mary
land District Court and sentenced to
three years in prison and fined ST.
500. The Fourt Circuit Court of
Appeals upheld the conviction.
Joseph Ben Decker, former vice
president and general manager of
Triumph, died from a shotgun
wound in an Elkton hospital last
April, few days after the Supreme
Court refused to review his convic-
ton for mail fraud and violation of
the Renegotion Act. Six co-defend-
ants of Mr. Kann refused to contest
the Government charge.
IN two other cases yesterday the
court held that employers may be
required to pay their workers over
time when they are merely subject
20 call and not actually at work
The litigation involved auxiliary
iremen employed at an Armour
soap plant in Chicago, and a Swift
packing plant in Fort Worth. In
each instance, the men sought ad-
ditional compensation under the
Wage and Hour Act, for "stand-by'
time. In the Chicago case, lower
court awards of approximately
$1,000 each to two workers were up
held. In the Swift case, where
Texas courts had held against the
workmen, the Supreme Court Or
ueIeQ IeIlSaIlIlS.
Case Up to Appeals Court.
In another action the Supreme
Court refused to say whether under
District of Columbia laws an un-
incorporated labor union may be
sued in Federal Courts for payment
If attorneys fees. JEFF Busby and
Vernon Lowrey, local attorneys,
sued in District Court to recover
10000 from the Electric Utilities
Employees Union for helping the
organization get a contract with the
Potomac Electric Power Co. Dis
trict Court dismissed the action,
agreeing with the union contention
that it is unincorporated and is not
a legal entity which can be sued.
When the case was appealed by the
lawyers the Court of Appeals asked
the Supreme Court to rule on that
point. The latter. however, in a
memorandum opinion. said the
Court of Appeals itself should pass
on the issue because it was one
of local law
