March comes in like a lion and
goes out like q lamb. At least that's
the old saying. Your weatherman
and your own experience may give
you cause either to believe or dis
believe Its truth. When 1t comes to
United States Savings Bonds, there
is no dispute as to their lion-
strength quality from start to finish.
In fact, savings bonds grow stronger
with the passage of time. For every
s1875 you invest in savings bond
you get back s25-a neat profit at
the rate OF 81 for every SO. You
invest $75 and In ten years you get
back 800. Own more U. s. Savings
Bonds because u. s. Savings Bonds
are SAFE, SURE, PROFITABLE.

WHERE'S THE CENTRAL ISSUE?

The Supreme Court has agreed to take into con- sideration in hearing arguments on the John L. Lewis case applicability of the Guardia and Clayton Acts The decision merits applause.
 The Department of Justice is naturally eager to win it's case against Lewis by prompt and direct decision on the main points at issue. We do not think however that the public interest will suffer by reason of the Courts decision to broaden the hearing set for January IA to include various points of con stitutional and statutory law raised by the United Mine Workers lawyers Indeed there is distinct advantage from the public point of view in having all the con roversial points passed upon by the highest tribunal at early date
 In hie petition for writ of certorari, Attorney General Clark laid the narrow issue of MT Lewis conviction for contempt of court before the Supreme Bench The union asked for hearing of much broader scope It is particularly eager to test the applicability of .the Norris Guardia Act contend ing that it prevents the Government well private employers from breaking strikes by of the injunc tion The Department of Justice thinks otherwise, of course and will doubtless be glad to argue the point, Without decision this issue there would be danger of leaving major problems hanging precariously in mdair.
 Congress as well as the Administration and the public is eager to know precisely how the Supreme Court will interpret the Norris-LaGuardia Act. If the Court finds that the act precludes use of the injunction to curb strikes against the Government it is reasonable to that the act will promptly be amended We do not think the Congress will run the risk of having our whole economic system stalled for want of power foresta shorten strikes against the Government And Congress will doubtless wish to act fl necessary before March 3l-the date fixed by Lewis for resumption of the coal strike if events in the meantime are not to his liking.

" on the Roosevelt New Deal pro- gram The November balloting showed that the majority of the people wanted change, argue some White House advisers, so Truman has mandate to desert the Roosevelt program for his own.
 Whatever the explanation, the President seems to be the height of good humor at all times. Stand ing in a corridor of Congress on Monday. ready to deliver his State of The Union message, he was bantering with Republican Senators who asked whether he would pro- pose a program which Republican Senators could support.

to Riskind. but at first he couldn't even get his own CIO colleagues interested.
 Finally, however, he sold his idea to Lee Pressman. c O general counsel, and persuaded him to start suit on behalf of the CIO metal miners who had to spend ex tra time travelling through mine shafts to their pu:nt of work.
 Pressman made thorough study of the question, discovered that in Europe miners were paid from the time they entered the mine, that in Arizona portal-to-portal pay was the basic law Of the state, and that Montana had passed a portal to-portal law that later was killed by the state supreme court.
 On the strength of thiS research, suit was filed against the Tennessee Coal and Iron Co.,, subsidiary of U. S. Steel This turned out to be one or the most important cases in labor history, but big cor poraticn lawyers at the time failed to grasp its significance. The case finally got up to the Supreme Court, which ruled in l942 in fla vor of portal-to- portal by a 5-4 decision Next year, John L. Lewis, taking a cue from CIO attorneys, won portal-to-portal" for his miners.
 In 1914, the CIC legal brain trust decided to test portal-to port al ill other industries, and started the now famous Mount Clemens Pottery case. This company requir- ed its employees to be in the plant l4 minutes before the actual start ing time, and the Supreme Court has now held this to be working time
 All last summer, CIO chief Phil Murray and his legal staff discuss ed the significance of the Supreme Court Act and what they should do about it. All last year, also, the same Wall Street legal talent which had ignored the importance of the Wagner Act decade be- fore seemed to ignore the Mount Clemens decision. They filed no k,iefs as a friend of the court, but let the case be battled out by relatively obscure lawyers
 Ironically. it was management which finally made up Murray's mind to start the billions of dol lars worth Of suits now rolling through the courts. When Murray saw business preparing it's anti labor legislation in the new Con- gress. he decided to fight back. Best way to consolidate his union membership, he figured was to show them what fat plum the

Mir. Acheson's Pertinent Questions
(NeW York Sum

(New York Sum
 With the end of the United Nations Relief and Rehabilitation Administration those nations which have been depending upon it's charity entitled tc know what they can expect in the future. They have a clear and definite answer far the United States is concerned in the broadcast of Dean Acheson Acting Secretary of State This country has no desire ito play politics with food he asserted Congress will be asked for and undoubtedly will grant substantial sum for the common relief effort in 1947. But this money will not go to everybody who holds out his hand It will furnish food and necessary supplies to those who can demonstrate their need and who can guarantee that it will not be used ito feed their political supporters and starve their political oppon- ents When it comes to proving need those countries which feel that they afford large armies, which use their industries to forge swords instead of blow shares, will be under a tremendous handicap MT. Acheson summed this up in the following three ques tions
 If country is maintaining a large army which has to be fed and supplied and which
 is non-productve should such country be
 eligible for free relief? The maintenance of such army may be the right of any country, just as any country
 may experiment at it chooses with its economic
 system even though doing so may play havoc with production But in that should it ask expect gifts of food and supplies from other countries?
 Should country expect other countries to furnish it with tractors and agricultural imple- ments at a time when it is employing its manufacturing facilities building tanks and
 other weapons of warfare? Such pertinent questions could bring equivocal answers from those who want to make special case fer themselves their friends But the answer in this country to all O. them will be an all but un- animous negative. The American heart and purse will open readily for the ragged waf in genuine need. But they are unlikely to be touched by gamn swag gering around in a soldiers suit. Those who are planning substitute for UNRRA should keep this in mind

therefor by handing down decision that will clear up all the legal issues in the case at the earliest possible date And therein lies another puzzle for the layman
 Even layman wonder why case getting broader and broader still apparently has room in it for what strikes many the central issue Did the contract between the United States government and the United Mine Workers give Lewis the right to terminate the contract upon notice?
 It has generally been the practice in writing labor contracts in the cod industry to take the old contract with changes incorporated into preactory agreement One of those changes when the Krug- Lewis agreement written the clause providing that the contract should run long the Govern ment retained possession of the mines. But Lewis went to clause of the old contract for his authority to end the contract after notice It ought to be comparatively simple matter for the Supreme Court or any other court to rule whether the cid the clause applied.
 It may be that the contempt proceedings carried the into legal realm in which simple point is out of place but it is of importance, both for the reputation of the Government for fair play and for other reasons that this point should be settled too

WHO STARTED PORTAL FIGHT?

Some of the biggest lawyers On Wall Street are now burning the midnight oil trying to figure out ways and means oi beating portal to-portal lawsuits. while igh-paid lobbyists are pulling wires to stop pcrtal-to-p portal back payments.
 What these high powered legal brains don't know, however, is that a S65- week CIO organizer, Ben Riskind. formerly with the CIO mine. mill and shelter workers, ccncocted the idea which is caus- ing them 50 much trouble.
 It was Riskind-not lewyer-- who poured over the 1888 Fair Labor Standards Act passed pri- marily to halt sweatshop condi- tions in the needle trades and which provides that employees must be spaid for hours worked. l" Those last three words for hours worked" seemed awfully important
