Ball Sees Denham' s
Ruling on Affidavits
JAS Perfectly Valid
BY the As,oeiatad Press

Senator Ball, Republican, OF
MINNESOTA said today 1t is perfectly
valid" to interpret the Taft Hartley
Act as requiring non-C Communist
pledges from AFL and CIO top
officers, even though Congress may
not have planned it that way.
What we were trying to do was
cover the international unions and
so congressional intent as to the
CIO and AFL is blank" Senator
Ball told a reporter.
There simply was no discussion
Of applying it to the federations
that I recall, But the language GER
tainly is clear and broad enough to
cover them"
Ball Heads Special Group.
Senator Ball Is chairman Of a
special Senate-House Committee set
up by the Taft-Hartley Act to study
workings of the new law as we'll as
the whole broad field of labor
management relations. It will meet
for the first time next Tuesday.
Senator Balls Interpretation Of
the non Communist provision agrees
with that of Robert N. Denham,
general counsel for the National
Labor Relations Board, who has
ruled that AFL and CIO officers
must sign the pledges II member
unions want to use the machinery
Of the NLRB.
Several AFL international unions
have challenged the ruling since
John L. Lewis, United Mine Workers
chief and an AFL vice president,
blocked a proposed mass signing by
the Federation's Executive Board.
Reversal of Ruling Asked.
The CIO Is expected to take a
stand at it's annual convention Oc-
tober 13 in Boston.
An AFL union, the International
Brotherhood Of Electrical Workers,
yesterday asked the NLRB to re-
verse Mr.. Denham in a case involv-
ing employees of Radio Station
WARL at Arlington, Va. This was
the first test case to reach the board.
The IBEW appealed from a deci-
sion by the NLRB regional Office

Hearings on the issue Of whether
billions of dollars in portal-to-portal
pay should be granted to thousands
of American workers will begin Mon

Majority Leader Halleck said here

portal suits totaling more than $4,-

conference that the House may act
On a portal-to portal pay bill within

Congressional hearings on a bill
prepared to regulate the. portal pay
situation have been scheduled by the
Judiciary Committee. said Mr.. Hal
lleck. adding that the feeling Is
definite" that Congress should take
some action to unravel the snarl
created by actions filed under the
1888 Fair Labor Standards Act.
In a later address at a Mckinley
Day observance at nearby Niles, Mr..
Halleck said congressional leaders
would meet next week with Presl-
dent Truman to discuss legislative
program and work for whatever
area of agreement we can arrive at"
Republican leaders, he asserted,

More than $1,000 worth of bonds
was put into bag and thrown in
an alley in the Northeast section of
Washington during the New Year
eve snow storm, he declared. They
were recovered by passer-by and
returned to their owner.
Several hundred dollars worth of
additional bonds were burned, al
though the Secret Service was able
to identify them by charred rem
nants.
More Than They Needed.
The youths said they threw away
and burned some bonds because
they just had more than they
needed" Mr.. Moloney said.
Hugh Jones, captain of detectives
of the Arlington police, said he
would not make a statement until
Monday when he finishes his in
vestigation.
He indicated, however, that the
five would be held and tried on
housebreaking charges before be-
ing turned over to the Federal au-

Pottery Workers Due !!
Ito Give Portal Pay
Estimates Monday
BY the Associated Press

DETROIT, Feb. LA handful
of workers in = small, suburban
pottery plant. whose overtime suit
five years ago led to $4,000, ,00O, 900
portal pay claim against American
industry, were brought back today
into the spotlight Of one Of the
Nations great legal disputes.
Federal Judge Frank A. Picard
directed that the workers themselves
return to- court Monday to give their
estimates of the portal time they
spent in the Mt. Clemens Pottery Co.
The Supreme Court transformed
the original overtime suit into q
precedental portal case involving
the time spent by employees in walk
ing to their jobs, and whether or
not this time was trifling.
Judge Picard tried unsuccessfully
for the third time yesterday to get
opposing attorneys to agree by stip-
ulation as to the time involved.
Such procedure would enable
the court to begin work Immediately
on his decision in the Mount Glenn
ems case.
A charge that the Government
had split over the portal pay issue
brought Edward Lamb, attorney for
the pottery workers, into conflict
with the wage-hour administration.
Mr.. Lamb said Attorney General
Clark had engaged in a terrific
struggle" with Wage-Hour Admins
traitor L. Metcalfe Walling in fruit
less effort to win the. latter's support
of the Governments attack on the
portal pay theory
In New York Mr.. Walling said
there had been mo question OF any
disagreement" with the Attorney
General. There was no reason for
the Wage Hour Administration to
be parry to the hearing, Mr.. Wall
ing said.
Mr.. Lamb told reporters the
Wage Hour Administration was ION
our side" and the Government ION
the company's side" To this Mr..
Walling replied II have not taken
any side in the matter"
The Attorney Generals office, in
dustry in general and the pottery
company all have asked dismissal
of the Mount Clements Case on
grounds of "de minimis," the legal
doctrine holding that trifling mat
ters-in this case a trifling amount
OF portal time-are no concern OF
the law.
After failing to secure an agree
ment as to the pottery workers
portal time, Judge Picard an
nounced he would begin taking
testimony on the subject Monday
first from the workers and then
from the company.
He indicated that as much as 81
days might be required.

Army Begins to Fit Amputees
With More Efficient Limbs
By Thomas Buchanan

cordingly, the project has proceeded
with a minimum of publicity SO far.
The most startling invention in
the prosthetic field, Maj. Fletcher
revealed, is Q cosmetic glove" made
of plastic which fits over the arti-
ficial hand. This glove, which simu-
lates human skin, is of flesh color
with naturally colored veins and
may be designed to resemble the
patients real hand with amazing
detail. 1t also aids in the handling
of irregularly shaped objects.
The hand also is equipped, the
research director revealed, with an
automatic gear shift" that enables
the user to increase pressure with
out conscious effort. In addition, it
permits the amputee to grasp an
unevenly shaped object with equal
pressure from three fingers, making
it easier to hold.
The artificial leg also Is regarded
as an advancement over present
models, the major said.
Models of the artificial hands and
legs have been on display for the
last week at the National History
Building of the Smithsonian Insti-
tuition. The exhibit closed yester-
day. .
