Fiqht, Court Is Told
BY the Associated Press

DETROIT, Jan. 31.-Attorney
Edward Lamb charged in Fed
eral Court today that the Wage
Hour Administration, despite
terrific struggle" has refused to
join the United States Attorney
Generals fight against portal
to-portal pay.
Mr. Lamb, who has led the prece-
dent-setting Mount Clemens (Mich)
Pottery Co. fight since its inception,
told Federal Judge Frank A. Picard
that the Governments brief in op-
position to portal pay was filed
solely by (Attorney GeneraD Tom
Clark"
He defined Mr.. Clark as "a
plumed knight" on a vendetta"
for the (pottery) company.
The union attorney said there had
been "a terrific struggle" between
Mr.. Clark's Office and L. Metcalfe
Wolling, administrator of the Wage
Hour Division, in a futile attempt
to persuade the division to join the
Government in opposing portal pay
as first outlined in the Mount
Clemens case.
Recesses Until Monday.
Mr.. Lambs statements came as
Judge Picard recessed the hearing
until Monday in a third attempt to
get opposing counsel to agree to
the amount of portal time at issue
in the pottery case.
Failing in such an agreement,
Judge Picard said he would begin
testimony next week in the five
year-old case.
He told newSmen that he was
hopeful" such an agreement can
be reached SO that he may begin
considering Immediately his deci-
sion.
Earlier a self-styled country law
yer, arguing for the company, urged
that portal pay time in industry
be limited to the period spent by
an employe in walking from the
time clock to his place of work.
Such limitation might make the
portal pay time involving $4,000, ,000,-
600 in suitS against industry so in
consequential that many could be
dismissed from the courts.
Bert v. Nunneley of Mount Glenn
ems, fighting the most important
case of his 44-year career in law,
told Judge Picard that an employe
going to or returning from lunch is
doing so on his own time.
Asks Dismissal of Case.
So, he insisted, is an employe

Of the day. ,.-.
ut doesn't make sense that the
time spent walking away from the

employer" Mr. Nunneley argued.
He sought dismissal of the Mount
Clemens case under the "de min
imis" doctrine, contending that the
time involved was too trivial to be
concern of the court
The lawyer carried on a lively and
good-natured exchange with Judge
| Picard.
He reserved any judgment on Mr..
Nunneley's arguments, but told him
admiringly:
You must get along pretty well
with those country juries."
Judge Picard arranged to hear
added, new testimony in the con-
troversial case after he was unable
to extract from opposing sides an
agreement as to the amount of
portal time at issue in the historic
suit.
The court left the way open over
night for both sides to stipulate
the time elements and thus avoid
prolonging the extended hearing.

Republicans in House
Shy From Straight
2Oq6 Tax Reduction
Cut Will Not Necessarily
Take One-Fifth Off Each
Person, Martin Says
BY the Associated Press

Senate Democrats readied a
fresh assault on the Republican
tax-slashing program today as
COP House members outwardly
patched up their differences with
this declaration:
Republicans favor a 20 per cent
cut overall, but not necessarily one
fifth off for every taxpayer.
Speaker Martin told reporters
that there has been mo backtrack-
ing" from the overall objective of a
20 per cent reduction. But he en-
phasized that the Republicans are
not committed on how this will be
done.
Senator Lucas, of Illinois, MEM
ber of the Democratic Policy Com
mittee, scheduled a national radio
speech at 10:45 o'clock tonight over
NBC urging the Republicans not to
forget the little man" when they
reduce taxes.
Pleased by about Face
Senator Lucas told reporter he
is pleased to note that the new ma
jority party "did an about face" in
deciding to support President Tru-
mans request for extension of the
high wartime taxes on so-called
luxuries. That bill, blocking an 9TH
erwise automatic drop, July l, passed
the House Wednesday and will come
before the Senate Finance Commit
tee probably next week.
II hope they also get religion on
this 20 per cent cut they are talking
about in personal income taxes" the
Illinois Senator said. ANY reduc-
ton that is made ought to come in
the low-income group"
Another Democrat said his party
will follow the same line of debate
in the Senate as in the House
that is, to contend the Republicans
want to give the rich more relief
than the poor by slicing a fixed per-
centage off of levies across the
board"
There were strong indications that
the Republican members, smarting
from the opposition attack, were
retreating officially from any
across the board" slash.
Revision in Statement.
This appeared to put a new face
on a November IA statement OF the
House Republican Steering Commit
tee that it was "a unit in the view
that there can be a 20 per cent re-
duction across the board in personal
income taxes"
"a 20 per cent tax cut is def
nitely and positively our objective" F"
Speaker Martin said. II think every
Republican I know is for that"
1--WE have a three-way objective:
/, balance the budget; 2, make a
payment on the national debt, and
3, a 20 per cent cut in taxes"

an attitude similar to that held by
