1homasAsksC Congress
To LET Courts Act
First on Pay Suits
BY the Assoeiatsd Press

Senator Thomas, Democrat, of
Utah, co-author of the law on
which portal-to-portal pay suits
are based, said today Congress
should keep hands off the issue
until the courts have had their
say.
But several Republican Senators
expressed the opinion that the new
Republican-controlled Congress will
have to come to grips with the snow
balling suits in which unions now
seek more than $4,000, 600, 900 from
employers.
On the House side, Representative
Hoffman, Republican, Of Michigan
said he will propose amendment Of
the Fair Labor Standards Act to
define work week as the time
actually spent in productive labor.
Wants Courts to Act.
4 Senator Thomas told reporter
"there should be no legislative action
until there is some firm decision in
the courts on the matter" He said
the courts ''can settle this thing
better than anyone else"
The Utah Democrat said he takes
this stand despite the Supreme
Court decision which started the
run Of suits. The high court ruled
that workers should be paid for
"all time during which an employe
Is required to be on an employers
premises"
Il was one of the authors of the
Fair Labor Standards Act (the law
involved and I know that portal
to-portal pay was not even thought
Of when the bill was discussed"
Senator Thomas said. "Just what
constitutes a 40-hour work week
Is the matter that has to be decided
now.
But I am not going to pass judg-
ment on something that is before
the courts. And my opinion is that
it will be difficult to get Congress
to do so, judging from $50 years Of
precedent"
Flanders Urges Action.
On the other side of the political
fence, Senator Flanders, Republican,
of Vermont said, "It would seem
that the matter is serious enough
SO that Congress would take 1t up
among the first subjects of legisla-
ton"
Republican Senators Brewster of
Maine and Donnell of Missouri said
also that they expect something will
have to be done, but along with SEN
ator Flanders they withheld COM
ment on just what form it should
take.
Senator Hawkes., Republican, of
New Jersey said the law should be
amended so that suits for back
portal-to-portal pay could not be
filed later than six months after
Congress acts.
Senator Hawkes. expressed DOUBT
that any retroactive action could be
taken to cut off the suits already
filed So did Senators Aiken, Re-
publican, of Vermont, and Moore,
Republican, of Oklahoma.
The CIO United Auto Workers
Union planned to file additional
suits against the Ford company TO-
day asking $222, ,320, 900, bringing the
total such actions against Ford to
$270, 100000. This would push the
total of portal claims to more than
$2,029 100000.
Previously the largest claim
against single company was the
$200,0O0,000 suit brought by the CIO
Steelworkers against the Bethlehem
Steel Co. last week.
Leaders of the Auto Workers
Union issued a statement in De-
troit that portal claims suits had
been filed to seek legal redress for
a grievance that has plagued the
auto workers for many years"

Bethesda Chamber
Backs Blossom Fete

A cherry blossom festival in the
Kenwood area in the spring is in
prospect.
A proposal to hold such fete
was given impetus last night when
the Board of Directors of the Be-
thesda Chamber of Commerce voted
to cooperate with other members
of the Community Service Council
in sponsoring the event.
The board also approved the Coun-
ellis suggestion that a Fourth OF
July celebration be held in Be-
thesda.
No definite plans for the cherry
blossom festival have been made
as yet.
Following a report on a parking
survey by Phil Schaefer. the board
recommended:
/. Appointment of a Parking Lot
Committee to seek legislation au-
thorizing purchase Of off-street
parking facilities in the Bethesda
area.
2. Change from the scent half
hour system on parking meters in
front of the Bethesda Post Office to
a 1-cent 12-minute plan, but con-
tinuation of the nickel rate and
half-hour limit elsewhere.
8. Stricter enforcement Of time
limits.
4. Handling of meter receipts by
bonded policemen only.

Lee Asks Legislature
Not 10 Exempt County
From Charter Law
BY the Associafed Press

ANNAPOLIS, Jan. 21.-An effort
to block the proposed exemption
of Montgomery County from provi-
sions of a 1945 law regulating
county charters was carried to the
Maryland Legislature last night by
E. Brooke Lee, county Democratic
leader.
MIR. Lee placed on the desk Of
each lawmaker petition opposing
the plan of Montgomery County's
Republican delegation to sponsor q
bill to exclude the county from the
laws prohibition against the non-
partisan elections of county coun-
ciIs.
The 1945 act bars nonpartisan
elections by providing that mem
berS of county council in county
adopting a charter must be NOM
mated and elected in the same
manner in with legislators are
named.
In his petition Mr.. Lee said that
when James j. Lindsay, jr., for
merly a Baltimore County Senator,
introduced the bill in the 1945 ses-
sion Mr.. Lindsay informed him
that "he thought the provisions of
the bill would strengthen the cause
of home rule by making the ap-
proval of home rule charter by
any county more reasonable and
consequently more acceptable and
more probable"
No negative votes were cast in
the Senate, but four members OF
the 1945 House of Delegates were
against it, Mr.. Lee explained. He
added that several of those voting
Evening star., 1947-01-21

mo- stated they did so In order not
to vote for anything that favored
or pertained to a further grant OF
home rule"
Mr.. Lee said the provisions "ot
this Lindsay bill are In accord with
the resolutions publicly adopted by
the Democratic County Congress in
Montgomery County in January,
1945, In which the members of the
county Democratic organiza-
ton supported the continuation Of
the two party system, the continua-
ton of the direct primary system
and opposed the substitution Of nom
Evening star., 1947-01-21

partisan general elections and nomi-
nations by petitions"
Senator Roy T. Davis, Republican,
of Montgomery, and the Mont
gomery County delegates contend
that Mr.. Lindsay introduced the
measure at Mr.. Lees request, prin-
cipally to prevent Montgomery
County from seeking a new charter
which would include provisions for
nonpartisan elections Of county
council
