productive activities performed on
'llne controlled by the employer.
Minimizes Effect
In a separate report. the sub.
committee, headed by Senator Don.
neil (R-Mo.), minimized the effect
OF the recent dismissal of the basic
portal pay case by Federal Judge
Picard in Detroit.
rlcaru, IN carrying out the Su.
preme courts decision, found that
walking time and other prelimin.
airy activities of the EMPLOYERS
were not enough to require com.
~pensatlon. He noted, however, that
ne was not holding all other suits
should be dismissed.
The subcommittee said Picard's
decision sis Cd limited to the facts
~ that case only and 90 not a
llnal decision and doubtless will
not be accepted as such but, in our
Judgement, will be taken to the
Supreme court"
BESIDES prohibiting what it calls
"wlndfalls," the bill would require
that all claims for wages and over
tlme under the Wage-Hour act
must be instituted within three
years after the claims arise.
The bill is in two main parts:
l. Barring the portal suits.
z. Making them improbable.
The second part was written.
Wiley explained, as insurance

workers individually, rather than

3. Relieve the employer of pay

4. Shift the burden of proof to
the employe.
5. Recognize past settlements
and permit future ones.

included Senators Cooper (R-Ky)

is clear that Congress can cut off
future portal pay claims. In that
connection, the group laid down
this summation:
In general, time. spent by an
employe in activities engaged in
before the commencement of and
after the termination Of his sched-
uled work day will not be COM
pensable working time in the fu-
lure unless compensate by reason
Of a contract, custom, practice or
Understandings"
The report made it clear that
portal time Of the United Mine
workers will not be affected by
the bill because it is covered by
contract.
Clarifying Examples
The bill does not attempt to de-
fine what constitutes work, but the
subcommittee gave some clarity
ing examples Of the effect Of its
provisions.
Outlawed activities, unless COW
cred by agreement or custom,
would include such things as walk
ing to the lathe, workbench or re-
porting station for the days as
signment, or to the particular
work locations; waiting in line fo-
pay checks.
The bill would not affect "activi,
ties engaged in during an en-
ploye's working day" They would
continue to be payable or not in
accordance with existing provi.
sions.
Thus, "if a rest period during
that time is now considered a
compensate activity under the
act, it will continue to remain So
The same would be true of a COM
pensable lunch period o. waiting
periods during a production break

By Constantine Brown
ss1r Foreign Affairs Analyst

Since my return from Europe /
have been asked By many people
what the prospects are Of an
American-Russian war.
The consensus Of all military and
political observers with whom had
opportunity to talk during my four
month trip is that the Likelihood Of
clash in the immediate. future is
remote.
Ofdcials of the Turkish and Greek
governments and general stats have
. better opportunity to study condi-
tions In Russia than those Of any
other nation. The French, through
their closer association with Moscow,
have good chance to follow the
trends in the Soviet capital. And
they all believe that Russia Is not
in position to fight q war at the
present time.
Deterrents to War Plans.
The failure of its ambitious re-
construction plans, the serious
shortages caused by bad crops, and
the fact that the much-expected re-
cession In the United States has not
yet occurred are all considered to
be deterrents to any war plans
which some OF the top leaders in
Moscow may have laid.
But the fact that no major armed
clash is to be expected in the imme-
diate future does not mean. in the
opinion of observers, that conditions
in Europe are likely, to improve.
The failure of the Moscow Con-
ference, the sabotaging Of the U. N.
commission to investigate the Bal
kan situation and the economic
chaos in France and Italy planned
by Communist cabinet members who
use threats OF general strikes and
cabinet crises to get their way-are
all indicative of the Moscow STRAIT
egy Of preventing economic recov-
cry In nations outside the iron cur
tain.
This process 1of economic and

By an intense campaign by Rus

Russians frustrated
The Russians felt frustrated when
the world learned from President
Truman that this country would
help Greece and Turkey resist the
Slavic expansion Their propagan-
da services undertook strong cam
paign to prove to all nations that
this was the first move Of irnperial-
istic America to get hold of the
economic resources Of those two Inn
proverished and practically bank
rupt countries.
For some time the length Of
which cannot be foreseen-the So
Wet government is expected to resist
our efforts to bring peace to a war
devastated world, first by ohstruct-
ing our diplomatic actions to liqui-
date the war, and second, by using
its strongly organized rninorities in
Western Europe to prevent any pos
sible recovery Of countries outside
the iron curtain.
Meanwhile, the U. S. S. r. is de-
voting the largest portion OF its ac-
tivities to reorganizing its military
forces, and especially its aviation.
Just as the Germans did In Hitler's
heyday. Scientists from Western
Europe are being offered the most
enticing contracts to come to work
in Soviet laboratories and industrial
plants. Russia's almost inexhaust-
ible natural resources are being har-
messed for the military development
Of the country's armed forces.
The Russian general staff is re-
ported to be opposed to any military
adventure at the present time. It's
opinions are said to be respected by
the Politbureau, the little group
which runs Russia's vast empire,
Russia needs few years to pre-
pare for a showdown with the
United States, It must wait until
its scientists have matched our own
in their inventions. It must wait,
too, until the recession which Mos
COW hopes for occurs in this country.
