TsaIdaris Promises
Fight 10 Keep Rule
BY the Associated Press

ATHENS, JAN 18-Premier Con-
stantin Tsaldaries met the chal-
lenge of cabinet designations and
opposition attacks tonight with a
declaration that he would battle his
opponents to showdown when
Parliament reopens Monday.
Political observers, however, gave
little chance to the premier, whose
eight months in Office have set a
record tenure for any premier of the
eight since the liberation of Greece.
They pointed out that Mr.. Tsald-
aris' Populist CRoyalist) party had
only 164 of the 354 seats in Parlia-
ment and that If the voting fol-
lowed party lines, he would fail
to achieve a vote of confidence.
If Mrs. Isaldaris we're repudiated in
Parliament, King George II, accord
ing to Greek custom, would name
the leader of the largest opposition
party, Themistokles Sophouls. a
Liberal and former premier, to form
new government.
The premier again attributed
Greek internal strife to foreign in
spiration when he offered last night
to step down to the job of co-vice
premier with Mr. Sophoulis in order
to form a coalition government.
Mr. Sophoulis rejected the offer.
described it as "a deceitful trick to
misguide public opinion" and de-
claired he would serve in no coali-
ton government unless he were
premier.

Delay on Portal Bills
Pending Final Court
Action Asked by Clio
Pressmon Suggests Law
Permitting Compromises
On Back Pay Claims
By jones Y. Newton

The CIO yesterday blasted
away at bills intended to head
off its huge portal-to-portal pay
claims and suggested that Con-
gress enact legislation that
would permit back pay suits to be
compromised or settled through
collective bargaining.
Lee Pfessman, CIO general coun-
sci, headed a number of CIO wit
nesses before a Senate Judiciary
subcommittee considering two bills
to ban or curb suits by unions for
back portal pay which already ex-
ceed $4,000, O,0O0,0 900.
During his more than three hours
Of testimony, Mr.. Pressman several
times was drawn into heated ex-
changes with members of the COM
mittee, headed by Senator Donnen,
Republican, of Missouri. At one
time he said the court claims were
highly exaggerated on both sides"
by unions in the sums sought and
by industry in the effects of the
actions on business.
Claims "Well Watered."
Another CIO witness said claims
filed by his union members against
rayon manufacturer were well

claims to initial union demands in
seeking a new contract. He was j..

trolled by the company led to the

He warned bluntly that any law
enacted to change the Wage-Hou
Act materially would be tested and
should the courts uphold our claims
that such an act is unconstitutional
all you would have is more horrible
mess than you have today He ex-
planned it would mean about two
more years of accrued liability
against employers.
The attorneys suggestion that
Congress amend the Wage-Houl
Act to allow settlement of portal pay
claims through bargaining came as
he asked Congress to separate thai
