Hearings Are Planned
|By Senate Committee
On Nurse Draft Bill

The Senate Military Affairs Com
mittee decided today to hold public
hearings on the House-approved
nurse draft bill, but deferred setting
date until there is more definite
indication on what is likely to be
done with the manpower bill.
Chairman Thomas of Utah ex-
planned after the committees ex-
ecutive session that members did not
want to be tied up with hearings on
the new legislation until the House
acts on a Senate version of the
manpower bill. Should the House
approve the Senate bill, he pointed
out, the committee could 60 ahead
with the nurse bill. But, If the
House insists on its own bill and
conferees are named, he added, he
would want to see the conferences
started anyway before opening hear
ings on the nurse measure

want to be free to follow the man.
power legislation in its present stage
before taking up another controver-
sial bill.
| The committee did not discuss the
nurse bill except to decide that
hearings should be held and there
was no indication of how members
stood on this legislat ton.
The bill, drafting unmarried
nurses, male and female, for COM
missions in the armed forces, passed
the House March 7. The draft would
affect nurses over 10 and under As.

AIcoa Is Monopoly,
; Judges Given Final
Authority Rule
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, Mar. 13.-Three
Circuit Court judges. authorized by
Congress to sit as a panel of the
Supreme Court. have ruled unani-
mously that the Aluminium Co. of
America constitutes a monopoly
The ruling reversed Federal Dis
tlict Court decision and returned
the case for further consideration.
The decision, written by Judge
Learned Hand and concurred in by
Judges Augustus NJ Hand and
Thomas w. Swan, was issued yes
terday. 1t stated the belief that
Alcoa operated monopoly in vio-
lation of section two of the Sher-
man antitrust law. Whether "even-
tually some form of dissolution
would be proper" was left to the
District Court to determine.
Ingot Market Monopoly.
Pointing out the Government
sought to prove Alcoa exercised a
monopoly in the ingot market. the
decision said:
"a - Alcoa meant to keep and
did keep that complete and exclu-
sive hold upon the ingot market
which it started. That was to
monopolize the market, however in
nocently it otherwise proceeded.
So far as the Judgment held that it
was not within section two, it must
be reversed"
The opinion also held that the
Aluminium Co. of Canada cartel
agreement with number of for
eign firms in 1886 violated the re
straint of trade" section of the
Antitrust Act
Discussing the Governments con-
tention that dissolution of ALCOA
should be ordered, the opinion said:
1T is as idle for the plaintiff (the
GovernmenD to assume that disso-
luton will be proper as it is for
ALCOA to assume that it will not
be. And it would be particularly
fatuous to prepare a plan now. even
II we could be sure that eventually
some form of dissolution would be
proper.
Dissolution is not penalty but
a remedy: if the industry will not
need it for its protection, it will
be a dlSservice to break up an ag-
gregation which had for long demo-
strated its efficiency
District Court Decision Quoted.
In the District Court decision,
Judge Francis G. Caffey ruled on
October 9, l94l, that "Alcoa had had
no part in forming the alliance or
in any effort at any time to limit
imports, to fix their price or to in
tervene in price-fiXing cartels"
Yesterdays ruling. while over
ruling Judge Caffey on major points,
sustained his dismissal of the Gov
eminent complaint against Alumni
mum Goods Manufacturing Co., a
subsidiary.
The three senior judges of the
Second Circuit Court of Appeals
were. empowered by Congress to give
a decision in the case after four
justices of the Supreme Court dis
qualified themselves, leaving less
than quorum.
The case has been in litigation
since 1888.

In response to questions, Mr.. Nc
Mutt explained that he delegated

power needs to the Civil Service
Commission but he commended that
the scrutiny of an agency program
and its appropriations rests with
the Budget Bureau and Congress.
For that reason, he said, the Civil
Service Commission has never
eliminated bureaus of Government
nor curtailed an authorized activity"
Mr.. McNutt pointed out that even
where his agents suggested curtail-
ment in some Government field Of
flee in a particular area, the funds
thus saved still would be available to
that bureau for use elsewhere
Senator Byrd wanted to know if it
is not possible for Civil Service to
refuse to fill vacancies for a Gov
eminent Bureau if it feels the bu-
reau is overstaffed
Arthur S. Fleming, member of
the Civil Service Commission, told
the committee. I'VE do not have the
right to say to an agency. You do
not need the personnel and we will
not fill the requisition.'
Mr.. Fleming said the only au-
thority he knew of to fix ceilings on
the number of employees in an agency
is given the Budget Bureau under
the overtime pay law, which di-
rected the budget to obtain reports
from bureaus on the savings in per-
sonnet resulting from the longer
work week.
Held to Cooperation.
Mr.. McNutt also argued that the
Budget Bureau is the only agency
with authority to withhold appro-
priations made by Congress.
He made this statement when
Representative Doughton, Demo-
crat, OF North Carolina made the
point that merely because Congress
appropriates a certain sum to an
agency is no reason why that agency
should spend it all if it does not
become necessary. Mr.. Doughton
commended Congress tries to ap-
proximate the needs of bureaus,
but cannot forsee exact needs.
Mr.. McNutt testified, that until
such time as Congress agrees upon
q manpower law. his efforts to regu-
late the flow of workers in industry

North Holland, from which increas-
ing numbers of troops were being
taken to reinforce battered armies
on the 150-mile line along the east
bank Of the Rhine from Nijmegen
to Coblenz.
Holland evidently was left with
insufficient troops to defend the
whole area adequately. The ma
jority of remaining Germans were
strung along waterways from Arm
hem to the North Sea. Obviously
there was no great strength behind
the front defensive crust.
