said Bell read the league rules
covering such cases, read the terms
governing Filchock's conduct in his
Giants contract, and asked him If
he knew the meaning of the rules.
When Filchock nodded yes, Bell told
him he was suspended, pending q
complete review of the case.
Filchock said he expected to be
back with the Giants next season.
"At least I hope I am" he added.

Paschal was the injured fullback
Hapes was supposed to replace in
the game, but Bell suspended Hapes
early on the day of the game and
he didn't even see the champion

Filchock said he didn't tell New

want to get involved in the mess"
IT had turned the offer down fiat

I thought we were going to beat the
Bears and I still think we should

1t was on the word of Mayor
ODwyer, who personally interro-
gated Filchock early that eventful
Sunday morning, that Mr.. Bell per-
mitted Filchock to take his place in
the lineup while at the same time
suspending Hapes.
Filchock described Paris as q
swell fellow who was good to me
and to all the players" But he had
no inkling Of the true intent Of
Paris kindness and generosity be-
fore the convicted gambler broached

previously had made him a very

that he was interested in it.

Senate May Be Asked

I0n Portal Pay Suits
BY The Associated Pres.

NEW YORK, Jan. 9.-The New
York Times i1 a special dispatch
from Washington today said Senator
Ferguson, Republican, Of Michigan.
will request a Senate investigation
into charges that Government policy
continues to force settlement at 100
cents on the dollar of claims to
portal-to-portal back pay on war
contract work.
Meanwhile, claims in the wage
suits climbed to $3,715 1865, $40 with
the filing of new cases in Federal
Courts in more than a dozen cities.
The biggest claim sought in the
new actions was $28, 500 900 against
the Goodyear Aircraft Corp. in
Akron, Ohio.
Senator Ferguson. senior Repub-
lican member of the Senate War
Investigating Committee, said yes
terday he would propose that the
matter of Government policy be in
vestigated by that committee as one
of its first acts when it is reconsti-
tuted as part Of the new Congress.
Meanwhile, Senator Brewster, Re-.
publican, of Maine, the prospective
chairman, submitted resolution to
continue the life of the committee.
Senator Ferguson said information
reaching him indicated the Justice
Department was refusing to allow
war contractors under suit by unions
to pass the cases ON to the Govern
ment. Instead, he said, the Gov
ernment was forcing contractors to
make only a restricted" defense,
limited by prevailing Government
views Of the law as 1t stands, al
though congressional action against
back pay suits now is in prospect.
Senator Ferguson said the effect
of this in some cases was to leave
the contractor no alternative but
a full settlement, the contractors in
turn billing the Government for the
added cost, since the contracts in
volved were on cost-plus basis.
Some such settlements already have
come out, he said, and others were
in prospect.
I'm the meantime" Senator Fer
guson said, wholly private employ
ers are getting no example of re-
sistance whatever from the Gov
ernment.
"They (the Government) are
being instrumental in settlements
which we know nothing about. How
much in added Government costs
has already been incurred is not
known"

Bill for u. 5. Grants
To Raise School Pay
Introduced in Senate

Public school teachers salaries
would be raised through Federal
grants under q bill before the SEN
ate Committee on Education and
Public Welfare today.
Introduction in the Senate late
yesterday by Senators Green and
McGrath, Rhode Island, Democrats,
the measure provides for payment
to- primary and secondary schools
throughout the Nation at a rate
equivalent to SIS annually for each
registered pupil.
Designed for operation during the
fiscal year starting next July /, the
bill specifies that local educational
systems must not spend less than
they did before from their individual
annual budgets. The grants would
be confined to teachers pay.
At the rate specified, the District,
with about 10000 public school pu-
pills, would be eligible 70 rmore than
81, ,000, 900 annually in Federal aid.
The Capitol Hill development
came as District public school Of
ficials put finishing touches on rec
concentrations regarding teachers
pay for submission to the Board of
Education this month. With the
$3.50 fiat pay raise granted local
teachers and officers by Congress
July l, the school board
must make pay proposals to Con-
gress before February l.
The bill before the Senate would
make DR.. John w. Studebaker,
United States Commissioner of Edu-
cation, administrator of the pro-
gram. School officials would apply
to him for Federal aid and submit
quarterly progress reports.
Senator Green said its introduc-
lion followed a study of public
school pay problems based largely
on report furnished him by DR..
Studebaker. He said the Commits
sioner had pointed out that to date
the Federal Government is contri-
buting only about $27 100000 an
nually to public education.
Existing Federal grants, he said,
includes one of less than $4,000, 900
for Federal land grant colleges and
another of approximately $21 ,000, 900
for vocational education.

At least two top-rank nomina-
tions sent to the Senate by Presi-
dent Truman face possible con-
firmation fights, a highly placed
Republican Senator said today.
They are:
Miss Frances Perkins to be q
member of the Civil Service Com
mission; and
Dillon s. Myer of Ohio, as admin
istrator of the United States Hous-
ing Authority.
The Senator, who asked not to be
quoted by name, said both nomina-
tions were discussed at a recent
meeting of the Senate Republican
Policy Committee and that both
aroused adverse criticism. The two
already are serving in their new
posts. Congress was in recess when
they were named.
The nomination Of Miss Perkins,
former Secretary Of Labor, will be
considered by the Civil Service Com
mittee, and that of Mr.. Myer, for
mer war relocation director, by the
Banking Committee. However, the
comments within the policy group
are expected to carry considerable
weight with. Republicans when 1t
comes to confirmation votes.

Some Increase Planned.
Although some hotel owners an
nounced plans for early increases in
room rates, M. O. Ryan, Washing
ton representative Of the American
Hotel Association, said members
would not institute an across the
board" increase.
He added that most increases will
be applied to luxury accommoda-
tions.
Arthur Newman, president of the
Louisville (Ky) Hotel Association,
said hotel rates there will be in
creased about 20 per cent. Miami
hotels said their increases would be
less than per cent.
Rent control will continue over
rooms occupied by permanent
guests" on a weekly or monthly
basis. The quota system requiring
hotels to rent portion of their
rooms on such a basis will remain
the same, the OTC said.
Fleming Favors Controls.
1T is as important to keep rent
control on these permanent rooms
as it Is to continue our rent ceilings
on apartments" Maj. Gen. Philip
B. Fleming, OTC administrator, de-
clared, "The rent regulations will
continue to offer these permanent
guests protection against eviction
similar to that provided for apart
ment dwellers."
The decontro1 program for tram

matically. Each establishment must
apply separately and furnish the
OPA division Of OTC with a list

The employer, he said, should be

an unsatisfactory recommendation
from the proposed emergency COM
mission. Labor leaders, he added,
