Justice Jackson Plays Colleagues

WASHINGTON, (P - Supreme Court Justice Jackson took his colleagues to task today for their
 ste and somewhat unpredict- able interpretations" of the wage, hour law, one of them the portal pay case.
 In an opinion he declared the courts decisions have made col lective bargaining agreements in some cases not worth the paper" written on and neceSsitated i'm mediate litigation"
 The portal pay decision was handed down by the court last summer when Jackson was in Flu rope prosecuting Nazi war crim- inals. It has led to suits for nearly five billion dollars in back portal pay and to moves in Congress to outlaw such suits.
 Jackson made his comments in a concurring opinion in a case where the court held unani- mously that certain trainees for railroad jobs were not covered by the Wage-hour law.

House Slashes First Money Request

WASHINGTON, (P) - The Re publican-controlled House appro- priations committee swung legis- lative meat axe today at President Truman'S first money request for l947-chopping it more than in two: from S315, 5,546,O00 to $139,- 36O,00O.
 Of the entire 56 per cent reduc- ton of Sl76,l86,OOO recommended by the committee in the first sup ply bill sent to the House floor since Republicans won control of Congress, SITS 5,683,5 was applied to the Veterans Administration. The committee promised, however. to review that agencys detailed needs later
 Today's action is not related di- rectly to the proposed six billion dollar slash in the Presidents $37, ,500,000,000 budget for the com ing fiscal year. The bill deals only with deficiencies in funds already appropriated for the current fis- cal year ending June 30.
 Coupled with the measure were recommendations for the cancella- tion of S7O6,l48, ,579 in appropria- tions already made and for liqui- datiOn of the civilian production administration by June 30 instead of December 31.

It is an ap- parent attempt to reorganize the Board to get rid of the present members.
 Definite antagonism aga i n | Polet was implied by Munz in his speech and charge of domination of all members by the Governor was made.
 Sundborg on the stand made a fine witness, though hectored for further orders by Coffey, Cochran, and others. He was accused ol having inspired all wires sent out faVoring the Boards retention. which he denied. He also denied that the Governor had made any attempts to influence him in his work and denied further that Clark had resigned because of trouble between him and the Board. He said Clark suggested that he apply for the job long be- fore he announced his own deci- sion to resign and told him he was resigning to take a better job and because his wife -to-be did not de- sire to live in Alaska.
 It is generally conceded the House will kill the bill, but the Board will have trouble when the appropriation bill is passed.
