Jockey Club Buys
PimIice Race Track
BY the Assoeioted Press

BALTIMORE. Mar. 81. - The
Maryland Jockey Club, operators Of
Pinlico Race Track on the edge Of
Baltimore, today purchased the rae
ing plant from the Hammond
estate.
Henry A. Parr. III. president OF
the Jockey Club, announced the pur-
chase.
It came as the Maryland General
Assembly was debating a measure
which would have permitted the
Jockey Club to move to another site.
An amendment hooked onto the bill
after its introduction would have
permitted the owners to lease the
track to new group and authorized
new 25-dey racing season for a
fifth one-nile track in MARYLAND
Racing interests generally opposed
the amendment.
Mr.. Parr and his associates in the
Jockey Club, including Alfred G.
Vanderbilt, only recently purchased
a controlling interest in Laurel

Congress Asked TO Support
United States OF Europe
BY the Associated Press

Congress was asked today to go
on record in favor of United States
of Europe within the framework of
the United Nations.
IDENTICAL 23-word resolutions to
support such a federation were in
troduced in the House by Repre-
sentative Boggs, Democrat, Of Louis
lana and in the Senate by Senators
Fulbright, Democrat, of Arkansas
and Thomas, Democrat, of Utah.
Mr.. Boggs said in an address pre-
pared for the House that adoption
of the resolution would give this ma
tion an affirmative policy toward
Europe and point the way that Eu-
rope must go ''if it is again to be-
come a great force"
Senator Fulbright termed the plan
"a positive solution to an important
source of trouble in the same way
that the United Nations, the. Union
of South Africa and Our own Con-
stitution were positive solutions to
difficult problems"

Portal Pay Showdown
Due Today in Senate;
6. 0. P. Victory Seen
Democrats Save Slim
Hope for Compromise
Permitting New Suits
By The Associated Press

Outnumbered Senate Demo-
Gratis clung to a slim hope for
compromise antiportal pay leg
islation as the issue headed for
a flnal-vote showdown this aft
ernoon.
The Senate agreed unanimously
to:
|. Vote by 3 pm. on proposal by
Democrats to substitute a bill per-
mitting future portal suits for a
Republican-backed measure which
would outlaw virtually all pending
and future back-wage claims.
2. Vote by pm. on whichever
of the two versions survives.
+. To push their bill through, the
Democrats must hold their own
ranks firm and win over a few Re
publicans. The COP has a 51-44
majority.
Barkley Efforts Help.
Thus far no Republican Senator
has shown any sign of deserting the
fold. But Minority Leader Barkley
told a reporter:
II assume some Republicans will
go along with us"
The proposed substitute bill, spon-
sored by Senators McCarran, Demo-
crat, of Nevada and McGrath,
Democrat, of Rhode Island would
void pending portal claims for
nearly S6,000,0o0,000 in practically
the same manner the other measure
would. The only suits left standing
would be those backed up by wage
contracts or industry custom.
But the Democrats contend the
bill approved by the Senate Judi
ciary Conlmittee-similar to one
already passed by the House-goes
much further and knocks out back
wage claims which are not in the
portal category. And they are dead
set against a ban on future claims.
Sounding the general theme of
the Democrats-that the committee
bill would "emasculate" the Wage
Hour Act-Senator Pepper, Demo-
crat, of Florida said in the Senate
yesterday:
"All boiled down, it comes to
this: The Supreme Court has de-
cided some litigation in favor of
the workers and the Congress is
about to overrule the Supreme
Court. I'll not vote for that
kind of legislation"
Refers to Pottery Case.
Senator Pepper referred to. the
high tribunals decision in the
Mount Clemens Pottery Co. case
which started the wave of portal
suits. The court held that work
ers must be paid for "smake-ready"
time under the employers control,
unless the amount is trivial.
Senators Donnell, Republican, of
Missouri and Cooper, Republican, of
Kentucky, members of the Judiciary
Subcommittee which drafted the
GOP-sponsored bill, maintained it
is sound and the only way to relieve
industry of what they called
crushing liability.
Senator Pepper argued the whole
matter should be left to the courts.
He said they would sift out the
