doned. Just before World War II,

and used it for meetings and other
activities during the war The Boy
Scouts moved out to make way for

Senator OMahoney. Democrat, ot
Wyoming today asked Congress te
order the printing in a single book
of all the historic documents now
on display in the Freedom Train.
A student of history, the Wyom-
ing Senator saw great inspirationa1
possibilities in having the priceless
documents printed in book which
could be made available to schools
libraries and individuals through
out the country.
He drafted resolution for intro.
duction today in the Senate to have
the Government Printing Office
publish the historic papers in
Freedom Book"
The suggestion advanced in ar
editorial in The Star was quickly
adopted by Senator O'Mahoney. The
Freedom Book, under his plan, woulc
be available to the public for a
nominal sum, representing printing
costs and for distribution by mem
bers of Congress.
These documents have such
high inspirational value he said
they should be given the broades'
possible circulation.
He observed that while the docu'
ments are available at libraries, they
are not available in one publication
He voiced the conviction that tt
reproduce the manuscripts in ont
book would increase the value o.
individual documents by showing
their relation to the development O
the democratic spirit.
Many of the documents displayed
on the Freedom Train are in tht
custody of different institutions Of
agencies and will be returned tx

Differing Portal Pay
Bills Prepared for
House and Senate
By the Associated Pres.

House and Senate Judiciary
Committees today worked on
4 final drafts of two differing bills
to deal with the problem OF
nearly $6,o0o,O0O,O0O in portal
pay suits.
Chairman Wiley called the Sen
ate group into session to thresh out
last-minute objections to a subcom-
mittee measure which would de-
clare such claims null and void"
He said he expects to have a final
version ready Monday.
The House Judiciary Committee
had before it subcommittee bill
which has not been made public,
but which is reported to call for
wider changes in the wage-hour law
than the Senators proposed. The
suits have been brought under
that act.
Provides Time Limit.
The Senate bill deals only with
the portal issue, except for a sug-
gested three-year limit for filing a
wage claim of any description under
the act. The law now contains no
statute of limitations.
1t was understood the committee
had been asked to write in protec-
tion for portal suits Of Legitimate"
character and to redraft some other
portions Of the bill.
The measure, accompanied by a
48-page report based on lengthy
hearings and 1900 pages of evidence,
came out of the subcommittee with
the unanimous support of Chairman
Donnell, Senator Eastland, Demo-
crat, of Mississippi and Senator
Cooper, Republican, of Kentucky.
1t took direct aim at the Nation
wide avalanche of claims which fol-
lowed a Supreme Court decision
that nonproductive activities per-
formed on time controlled by the
employer are work for pay under
tIle WdBe-dOuI ACI.
Requires Cause for Pay.
The bill declared that portal-to-
portal time shall not be subject to
compensation unless it is made so
by contract, custom or understand
ing.
It did not attempt to say what
constitutes work itself, but it did
define portal-to-portal activities. It
declared them to be activities taking
place prior to or after those for
which the employer is required to
pay by agreement, practice or un-
derstanding.
In other words, the subcommittee
report said, the worker could not
expect pay for such things as walk
ing to his station or waiting in line
for his check on time outside the
working day.
Provides for Court Ruling.
Senator DonnellS group included
insurance" against the possibility
that the Supreme Court might
knock out provisions outlawing the
portal suits retroactively. 1t wrote
section into the bill which would
become effective only in case the
other provisions should fail the test
of conStitutionality. -

A Crazy and Shameful Condition

1t is miracle that there are good teachers in
this country who sacrifice themselves and their
substance to remain in the profession. Some Of
them are forced to work at outside jobs after
school hours to remain on the ragged edge of
respectability. Must we sit back, doing nothing,
until these teachers are forced to strike for
living wage And why shouldn't they strike,
if we do nothing?
In the meantime, American children are be.
ing robbed of fair start in life Five million Of
school age are not in school at all. Millions of
others are herded into huge classes where there
is little chance to learn.
