PORTAL TO PORTAL:
Claims Mount

As union claims against industry
for back pay for walking to the
Job. or preparing for work on COM
pany property mounted to over half
q billion, tax experts opined that
Uncle Sam may have to bear the
burden Of the settlements II the
firms are permitted to obtain tax
credits for such disbursements.
Although John L. Lewis first
pointed up the question Of so-called
portal to portal pay for miners
travelling to the coal faces under
ground, the principle was given in
dustry-wide implications with the
Supreme courts decision upholding
such compensation retroactive to
1888 for employees Of the Mount
Clemens, Mich, Pottery company.
The Supreme court verdict was
followed by rush of the major
CLIO unions for such retroactive
back pay, with the United Farm
Equipment and Metal Workers su-
ing International Harvester for 100
million dollars. Since employees
have been paid for 40 hour week,
the unions are asking for overtime
pay plus damages.
Firms may be able to charge of
back payments to Uncle Sam under
provisions Of the income tax law
permitting companies to carry back |
net operating losses into the two pre-
ceding years and also apply such |
losses in two succeeding years.
Meanwhile, the U. S. Chamber

ITALY:
Postwar Troubles

Despite substantial assistance
from the U. s., Italy has been tread
ing rocky road to postwar re-
covery.
Italy's troubles are not all econom-
ic, although shortages Of foodstuffs
and widespread unemployment re-
sulting from industrial stagnation
have contributed to the political tur-
MOL. The left and the right are pull
ing against themselves for political
advantage and rising wave Of anti
clerical propaganda threatens the
traditional spiritual unity of the peo-
pie.
On the economic front, Italy Is
short Of wheat, and spaghetti and
macaroni rations have been cut In
halt. Pig iron production Is down to
% per cent Of the prewar level; tex
tile fabrics. Sc per cent; chemicals,
GO per cent; mechanical goods, 70
per cent; cotton thread, 88 per cent.
Imports are almost three times ex-
ports.

Helping Hand

Since Uncle Sam has dealt gen
erously with Italy, 1t Is looking con-
fldently for more assistance from
the U. S. Thus far, the U. S. has
agreed to compensate Italy for
supporting American invasion troops
and furnishing war supplies, and
has extended credits for purchase
OF overseas surplus. In addition,
Italy has profted from U. S. contri-
buttons to UNRRA and the interna-
tional bank.
Despite the difficulties present
ed by shortages Of both foodstuffs
and Industrial materials, both the
left and right wings have made
political capital OF unrest. Latest ex-
ample was the food riots engineered
by Communists in southern Italy.
AS result Of the political pickering,
there has been resurgence Of Fas-
cist sentiment, with Mussolini's for
mer followers growing increasingly
holder.
Leftists also have backed the at
tacks on pope and church, with the
intention Of weakening respect for
the Catholic doctrine of authority,
family and property. However, the
rightist dominated government has
been quick to fight abusive criti-
cism Of the clergy. An editor
charged with publishing phorno-
graphic cartoons Of a friar and I'M
clad woman was sentenced to two
years In jail.
