The Sensible View
Cincinnati Enquirer

Cincinnati Enquirer
 Like a breath of fresh air the blunt comment of John P Frey head of the Metal Trades Department Of the AFL, the portal pay question should help bring the country back to common sense. Mir. Frey, known and respected in Cincinnati his former home, does worry too much about the legal niceties of the portal-toportal pay issue For him, the legal question" whether labor unions going to respect their contracts or not.
 To sue for wages not even discussed in previous collective bargaining and not provided for in written contracts Mir Frey contends is to dishonor those tracts In the long run the weIl-bsing of workers and homogeneous alike depends on making collective bargaining an effective process That is the founda ton of modern industrial relations in America Suits for portal pay, unless such pay specified in contracts can only contribute the breakdown of the bargaining process.
 Obviously this leaves the door open for future discussion poltal-to-porta pay and for contract provisions that call for such payments This is entirely in order There are some industries, with peculiar problems where efficient operation requires workers to put in considerable time in the plant and following actual work. If that time is put in at the ssence Of the employer and for his interest it should be paid for And contracts be written to insure such payment,
 This is common sense. whatever the courts may do in pending cases. And it is probable that the courts will not be far this doctrine Most of the suits filed in recent weeks certain to fail even on the basis of the leading cases already settled. There is the further possibility of Congressional action to limit the liability of employers. The final result is likely to be the allowance of portal pay in very few eases except where in future 1t is provided for by contract. It would be sense for labor unions adopt that policy at the outset as MT. Frey sensbly proposes

BAzOOKAS WHO0SH, GUNS DON'T KICK ARCTIC COLD

WASHINGTON, Feb T. - The whooshing bazocka and the kickless rifle may be the. chief weapons f any future war is fought in the .congealing cold of the Arctic.
 Brig Gen II. B. Sayler. chief of tfe Research and Development Division of Army ordnance, said today the current tests Of men and weapons in Alaska are beginning to indicate this.
 The sub-zero cold is revealing shortcomings Of conventional arms and demonstrating new values for tha recoilless guns and bazookas which made their appearance in in the recent war
 Sayler told q reporter ordnance observers at the tests have noted that 8 gun which should recoil perhaps II inches jolted back only an inch when zero weather had solified it's pneumatic apparatus, thus wracking and damaging the weapon. At the same time, cold suffered grease and oil aggravated the wear on all moving parts.
 The answer may be the two new type weapons, although it would be a compromise solution. Sayler said.

 Taber harped at length on public relations employees throughout the government propagandists," he called them-who should be purged at once from the payroll. But, out side Of that. he and Knutson had little to offer the Committee At one point, Democratic Congressman John Dingell of Michigan broke in on the New York Republican
 All right. I'm willing to be edu- cated, he said T don't want any nonessential employees sponging on the taxpayers. But suppose you tell us where all of them are"
 Most of them are in the War Department" replied Taber. Now about all those civilian employees with our occupation forces over seas? There are about 3C0.000 I understand
 Taber held that the 100000. mostly war veterans, should be dis charged and replaced by citizens of occupied countries, who could be recruited without pay.
 Why not put some of the people in occupied countries 10 work so they can earn their keep?" Taber demanded
 PUT NaZlS TO WORK
 Do l understand the gentleman clearly" inquired Dingell acidly Dos he want the United States Army to employ aliens?e
 Committee colleagues roare d while the New Yorker groped for reply Dingell went on to explain that most ol the civilian overseas jobs, including military government work, had to be filled by tried and true Americans for security req sons.
 Well, l suppose we have to have our own people in some of these jobs grumbled Taber, but I still think VIC ought to get some work out of these citizens in the occupied areas. We are keeping a lot of them for nothing"
 representative Albert Gore of . Tennessee and other Democrats al so objected to the Taber- Knutson "meat-aX' approach to personnel trimming.
 The Army, Navy and Veterans administration will make reduc- ticns as swiftly as possible without ccercion,' one of them declared. We cant do the job now with a meat-ax without crippling the gov ernment and at a risk to security in some cases.
 Budget Director James Webb ex- pressed the same view He testified that Veterans Administration Omar Bradley already had been cut be- low his personnel requirements to handle the vast flow of service insurance business, GI terminal leave applications and hospital maintenance.
 We'll where can cuts be made?' said Knutson. Give us some clues.

 Henderson told the joint Con- gressional committee on the econ- omic report, which Taft heads that price hikes have outstripped wage increases and a collapse such as followed World War I is threatened.
 In a brisk exchange with the former price chief, Taft said:

NEXT TRIAL RUN, SOAP BOX DERBY,

At the trial runs over the race course on Twelfth Street last night, several new cars were or deck.
 With the weather perfect lot was learned by the boys, with brakes giving the most trouble. This year all cars must have foot brakes, where as in the past better than 90 percent had hand brakes.
 A properly installed foot brake is safer in that it does not require the boy to take one hand from the steering wheel, thus helping to keep the car on a straight course.
 However. generally speaking, a foot brake is the harder to install
 The next trial runs will be to- morrow night at 7:30 o'clock, when it is expected that larger number of cars will be on hand that have not had run yet. Many with auto mobiles have helped the boys by parking them on the cross streets and blocking traffic thus eliminat- ing the chance of accident from that source.

 Faulkner, who was scheduled to discuss the Lemke Bill at today's meeting. postponed his talk on that measure until next week in order to devote the short time available at today's meeting to the more pressing issue before the Chamber in connection with SUR .1l8.
 One Visitor
 The Chamber entertained one important guest today, but short ness of time prevented more than his introduction. He is Capt. N. D. Bakenhus of the Seattle Police Department, in charge of the famed Seattle Police Drill Team. Capt. Bakenhus spoke very briefly and answered questions re- garGing the proposed Goodwill Tour" of the Drill Team and Police Quartette, along with other acts, to the Territory next year. He is here to find out when it will best suit Alaskans to have the touring Policemen come, he said.
 There was also brief discussion at today's meeting of the Alaska Native Service decision to close the Indian school here and ir other Alaska towns. R. E. Robert son, Chairman of the Juneau School Board, said he did not want to see "go unchallenged' statements, made in a communl- cation to the Chamber from ANS Education Director George A. Dale that the closure is necessary be- cause of lack of funds. Robertson and others expressed views that diligent seeking would find funds to keep the schools running.
 Robertson said the Juneau School Board already has notified the ANS that it will not attempt to handle in the Juneau schools those Indian children left strand ed by closure of the ANS school here.
 Today's meeting was called short to enable Chamber officials to meet the touring Tacoma goodwill party at the airport.
