House Group 10 Speed
| Measure Resirictina
Portal Pay Actions
BY the Associated o.ess

The House Judiciary Commit
tee moved swiftly today to deal
with the issue of portal pay
under the Wage-Hour Act, a law
which Justice jackson declared
has been obscured by elastic
and somewhat unpredictable"
Supreme Court decisions.
Chairman Michener told reporter
me hopes the committee will polish
up and approve before nightfall a
tentative portal pay bill worked out
by subcommittee last week.
I'VE are going to get this thing
settled just as quickly as We possibly
can he added. Chairman Wiley of
the Senate Judiciary Committee also
is in a hurry. He said he wants his
group to be ready with a bill of it's
own by next Monday.
The House subcommittee proposal
would impose number of restric-
tions on portal pay actions, in which
workers now seek total of around
S., 900, 100000.
Three-Year Limit Proposed.
1t would set a three-year limita-
ton on collecting such pay retroac-
lively. Also under its provisions, if
an employer could show he acted in
good faith, believing he was comply
ing with the Wage-Hour Act in pay
ing his workers as he did, that would
constitute defense in courts.
The bill would legalize out-of court
compromises in portal pay claims
not permissible under a Supreme
Court Interpretation of the Wage
Hour Act as it stands.
Ahd it would declare that working
time is what customary practices in
the industry say it is.
This customary practices" point
is what prompted Justice Jackson's
criticism of his colleagues in a wage
hour decision yesterday.
Justice Jackson wrote a separate
concurring opinion to set forth his
criticism yesterday.
He agreed that the wage-hour
administrator was wrong in ruling
certain apprentice railroad men are
employees" under the act. But he
did not like the reasons cited in the
opinion. 1t was written by Justice
Black, whose action in a previous
wage-hour case Justice Jackson at
tackled last summer while serving as
American prosecutor at the Nuern-
berg trials.
He objected to the reasoning in
the railroad case and two old ones:
The So decision in the Mt. Clemens
CMich.) Pottery Co. portal lawsuit
which preceded most of the pending
pay claims, and the 5-4 decision in

; Arlington Youths
Indicted in Theft Of
$4,000 in u. 5. Bonds

Three Arlington youths accused of
being involved in.tlle theft Of $4,000
worth of Government bonds were
among those indicted yesterday by
an Arlington Circuit Court grand
jury, which returned seven true bills
as the February term opened.
William L. Cross, jr., IS, Of the
1000 block Of North Utah street;
Robert Smith, II, of the 3100 block
Of South Stafford street, and William
Rosenberg, 16, of the 5000 block of
South Buchanan street, we're in
dicted jointly on charges of breaking
and entering Nome in Arlington
on January %. Smith and Rosen-
berg also were indicted on a charge
of housebreaking on December 20,
1916. Cases against two other youths,
said to have been involved in the
bond theft, were disposed of in
Juvenile Court.
A motion by Attorney Frank l..
Ball, ST., that Cross be granted a
severance from the joint indictment
was granted by Judge Walter T..
Mccarthy. Cross then pleaded guilty,
and the case was referred to the
probation officer and continued until
April 49,
Attorneys for Smith and Rosen-
berg today also obtained severance

also. Attorney Homer Thomas for
Rosenberg and Oren r. Lewis, for
Smith, also filed motions claiming
that the Circuit Court is without
jurisdiction because the juvenile
Court now is studying the case.
Judge Mccarthy set March 7 for
arguments. The court also set bond
at $1,000 each for Rosenberg and
Smith.

The Federal Government IS going
back more than 300 years in an
effort to prove it owns about 10000
square feet of land along the
Anacostia River.
In a suit heard in District Court
yesterday, the Government sought
to Substantiate its claim to the tract
at the foot of South Capitol street
with the contention that the land
originally was below the high water
mark
When Lord Baltimore received the
land from King Charles I of Eng
land in 1885, the Government
claimed, it was stipulated that land
under water must be held in trust
for the people.
The suit itself is almost historical.
It was filed in 1918. Only one of the
original defendants named by the
Government remains in the case.
He is James Martin of the 340O
block Of r street NV. Two other
defendants. Mrs. Martin and the
Smoot Sand & Gravel Co., have

Navy May Lose Billion
In Congress Shift
OF Claims Liability
By Steffon Andrews
North American Newspaper AIlianes

!
The Navy is asking Congress to
plug loophole in the Congressional
Streamlining Act--a gap which is
threatening to drain more than ST.
900, 100000 from military appropri-
ations.
This was learned as War and
Navy Department leaders fought to
gain further support for the BIZ
partisan drive developing in Con-
gress to limit the Republican budget
slash of $2,50O,000,000 in Army and
Navy funds.
With the military facing sharp
cash reductions, the Navy disclosed
it faced the loss of additional mil
lions of dollars because the Legisla-
tive Reorganization Act has shifted
the burden of approving private
claims from Congress to Govern
ment agencies.
Thus, suits against the Navy for
alleged negligence in operating Navy
vehicles-filed since passage of the
Streamlining Act - already total
more than $1,OOO,000,0OO, according
to Navy Department spokesman.
Suits Now Are Drain on Funds.
| Under the Tort claim provisions Of
the act, the spokesman said, there
was practically no limit" to the
number and amount of additional
claim suits that can be filed if
Navy vehicle or Navy driver figured
in the alleged accidents.
These claims are direct drain
on military funds, since money paid
out on these judgments now is
Ichargeable directly to naval appro-
priations.
Originally. these appropriations
were budgeted to be spent only for
national security.
The claims problem is particularly
acute, because the Reorganization
Act placed no ceiling on the amount
that could be collected by private
individuals.
Discouraged Nuisance Claims.
Before the adoption of the stream
lining bill, Congress alone could au-
thorize payment of private claims.
Enactment Of special private bills
was mandatory if relief demanded
was more than $1,000. Even then,
Congress rarely authorized payment
of more than $4,000.
The idea was to discourage nuiI
sance claims and make it as difficult
as possible for individuals to recover
money from the Federal Govern
ment.
Now the situation is just the op-
posite.
In a recent case a claimant filed
suit for 5000 shortly before passage
of the streamlining law. When the
act was passed he promptly with
drew the original claim and filed
suit for the same injury and asked
for $4,000.
Many Similar Practices.
Scores of similar practices have
been uncovered since the reorgani-
zation law went into effect, Navy
spokesmen said. Top Navy officers
have become alarmed over what
they see as heavy drain on Navy
funds earmarked for defense.
To stem the tide of money suits,
the Navy has ordered comprehen-
sive investigation of all accidents
involving Navy vehicles or Navy
personnel. Committee members in
Congress have been asked to take
steps to remedy this undesirable
"windfall" in the Reorganization Act
Navy spokesmen deny that the in
creasing number of suits is due in
any way to an increase in the num-
ber of accidents. An official tabula-
ton shows that Navy vehicles had
only one accident for every $4,000
miles in 1946-or better than the
national safety record.

Plan 10 Freeze All
But 7 Excise Taxes
Goes 10 Conference
By Robert K. WoIsh

With two Senate amendments
which would reduce estimated rev.
enue about $4,000, 600 during the
next fiscal year. the bill to freeze
wartime excise taxes at present
rates was on its way to a House
Senate conference committee today.
It passed the Senate yesterday
on voice vote after Senator Taft,
Republican, of Ohio, chairman OF
the COP Senate Policy Committee,
declared most such excise levies
must eventually be removed because
they are illogical and discrimina-
tory"
While the Senate was discussing
the excise tax measure. without op-
position such as developed in the
House debate earlier this month,
Chairman Knutson Of the House
Ways and Means Committee an
nounced postponement of closed
hearings which had been scheduled
to start tomorrow on income tax
reduction.
Another Proposal Put First.
Mr.. Knutson said the only reason
for the postponement is to give
a clear field this week to House and
Senate consideration of the legis-
lative budget proposing an overall
cut of $4,000, 900, 600 in the Presi-
dents budget. AS soon as this is
disposed of, Mr.. Knutson said, the
Ways and Means Committee will
have the brief closed hearings on
the income tax measures, including
the Knutson bill for a 20 per cent
across the board cut on incomes up
to $302, 900.
Senators Millikin of Colorado,
Butler of Nebrask and Taft, Re-
publicans, and Barkley of Ken
lucky and George of Georgia, DeL.-
ocrats, were appointed to represent
the Senate in the conference on the
excise tax continuance bill.
Travel Tax Cut Proposed.
One of the Senate amendments,
offered by Senator George, would
remove the Is per cent excise tax
on tickets purchased within the
United States for travel wholly out
side this country.
This exemption repeatedly would
result in a loss of $12,000,0O in tax
revenue for the fiscal next year.
A decrease of about $4,000, 900 is
expected from an amendment of ex-
else tax provisions on furs. This
amendment was sponsored by Sem
ators Mccarthy and Wiley, Repub-
licans, of Wisconsin; Johnson, DEM
ocrat, of Colorado; Butler and Wher-
ry, Republicans, of Nebraska; Thye,
Republican. of Minnesota; Murray,
Democrat, of Wyoming; Malone,
Republican, Of Nevada, and Wat
kins, Republican, of Utah.

DR.. Teller. University of Chicago
physics professor who worked OH the
atomic bomb, outlined the possibil.
tiles in an article in the new "Bulle-
tin of the Atomic Scientists" q
monthly publication of the scientific
group.
"It has been repeatedly stated
that future bombs may easily sur
pass those used in the last war by
factor of thousand" DR.. Teller
wrote. "I share this belief.
"One consequence of such bigger
bombs would be that instead OF
three or four square miles, three OF
four hundred square miles might be
devastated at a single blow. But
such bigger bombs may prove to be
even more dangerous in an indirect
way.
The radioactivity produced by
the Bikini bombs was detected
within about one week in the
United States. In the meantime the
westerly winds had swept the air
mass from Bikini to this country.
The activity when it reached our
shores was weak, completely harm
less, but still detachable. The same
activity, if present even in many
thousand times as great amounts,
would not impair living organisms.
But there is threshold beyond
which radioactivity has lethal ef-
fectS Thic threshold iS coroaubof +
different for humans, and for vari-
pus kinds Of animal and plant life.
Sufficiently strong radioactivity will
kill all living tissue.
IF the activity liberated at BIZ
kini were. multiplied by factor of
100000 or 100000, and if it were to
oe released off our Pacific Coast, the
whole of the United States would
be endangered" he said.
