10 Millions in Portal Suits
Dismissed al Atlanta
BY the Associated Press

ATLANTA, Oct. 49, On the
grounds that the complaints failed
to state a valid claim or one which
was within the Jurisdiction of the
court, Federal Judge Robert L.
Russell today dismissed Ave portal
to-portal pay suits.
An estimated $1O,00o,0oo was in
volved. Four of the suits were
brought by groups Of employees
against national concerns operating
Atlanta plants, and one was by the
Glynn Metal Trades Council, an
AFL affiliate, against the J.. A. Jones
Construction Co., Inc. wartime op-
orators Of a Brunswick shipyard.
Ultimately, the constitutionality
of the Portal-to-Portal Act of 1947
can be settled only by the appel
late courts, Judge Russell summed
up, land the Supreme Court will
doubtless enter the final pronounce
ment."

Conservation
Continued From First Paeeo

more so the second week than the
first. OF course, high prices have
played a part. especially in the
higher cost cuts. Warm weather
this past week also has been con-
tributing factor to the drop in sales.
No figures are available on stocks
on hand in retail outlets, another
factor in estimating consumption.
Bread Sales OFF.
Bread: Sales destined for Wash
ington area homes fell off quicker
and in greater amount than those
to public eating places. The av-
erage return of unsold bread from
retail stores is around l or 2 pei
cent contested to the prewar 4 or
percent.
Poultry: The change has been
negligible. Many stores featured
poultry the last two weeks as
cheaper than meat, thus raising
their sales rather than cutting
them.
Other developments in the food
situation:
/. Wholesale commodities set a
new record price peak yesterday as
bread prices jumped in four Eastern
cities. Bread prices in Washington
have not yet moved up and local
bakers said they anticipate no "im-
mediate" rise. They added. how
ever. that the one-cent rise in Bal
timore. scheduled to 60 into effect
tomorrow, may influence the local
situation. One-cent rises also were
announced for New York, Philadel-
phia and Pittsburgh, the Associated
Press reported.
AP Index Rises.
The Associated Press composite
price of IS wholesale commoditie
reached 1868 compared with the
100 for 1926, the base year, due
chiefly to the bread increase. Des
Moines, Iowa. expects a two-cent
retail raise this week. Shoe price
increases ranging from 35 to 95
cents pair at wholesale level were
announced by the international
Shoe Co. of st. Louis. one of the
worlds largest manufacturers of
footwear. The increase is expected
to reach the retail stores about
January 1.
g.. The D. c. Citizens Food Con-
servation Committee. headed by
James E. Collif1ower. expects to
meet this week, as soon as accep-
tances are received from those in
vited to serve as members. AS many
as 100 Washingtonians may be on
the committee. according to Charles
Stofberg, special assistant to Com
missioner John Russell Young and
secretary of the food group. The
committee is expected to include
many who served on the Washing
ton Emergency Food Committee last
year and other representatives of
civic, labor and consumer groups.
The local committee. like other
committees In all cities of more

than 10000 population, will receive
information kits" this week from
the national headquarters. These
kits" include explanations of the
Basic Facts of Hunger" Foreign
Policy at the Family Table" de-
scription of the national food saving
objectives and What the Public
Is Asked to Do"
In addition to meatless Tuesdays,
eggless-poultryless Thursdays and
savings in the use of bread, the
public is asked on days other than
Tuesday and Thursday to "use eggs
and egg dishes in moderation" and
to "use the less expensive kinds of
meat and poultry such as chuck,
short ribs, spareribs, rump, shoul-
der. breast, flank, brisket, bottom
round, shank, sausage, frankfurters,
shank-end of hams, canned meats
and stewing chicken. Where tender
cuts are used-roasts, for example
the public is asked to use every
bit. including the bones for soup"
These suggestions, together with
similar ones for saving wheat, are
expected to form the basis of the
local food saving campaign.
3. A plan to share America s
Thanksgiving Day bounty with the
hungry people overseas was proposed
last night by the Washington Eth
ical Society at a meeting of its
relief committee, it was announced
by the groups leader, George E.
Beauchamp. The plan calls for
"We-care" meals-smaller Thanks

not depletion of resources, but the
problem of supply. This is serious,
he continued, only when related to
the five major worldwide shortages: !:
l. Foods, especially cereals, and
particularly, wheat.
2. Fertilizers, especially nitrogen
fertilizers which can produce the
greatest immediate increase in crop
yields.
3. Coal, which is needed to activate
industrial plants, particularly those
producing nitrogen fertilizers and
steel.
4. Steel, which is basic in all re-
construction programs.

BOttIenecks Cited.
Certain domestic bottlenecks,
particularly the shortage of sheet
steel" must be broken if the export
level of steel products is to be raised
without corresponding cut in do
mestic consumption, the report am
plif1ed. 1t stressed at the same time
that exports should be channelled to
the most important uses.
Mr.. Krug said in this connection
that steel output should be watched
carefully, so that capacity may be
increased "at the first opportunity"
On the subject of coal, the report
said that the amount which may be
exported in the 1947-52 period is
insignificant" in comparison to the
vast resources of the Nation, but
that production is being limited by
a critical shortage of railroad cars.
Output this year Is estimated at
CSC, 900, 900 tons as against the peak
of 684 4,000, 900 in 1914. United States
and Canadian consumption this
year is estimated at 627,000, 900 tons.
Adequate Transport Needed.
Adequate transportation would
assure sufficient supplies for urgent
European needs, according to the
report, which points out another
bottleneck-a Is per cent cut in
European output from prewar levels.
