Tamm Eligible for Pay Last Moscow Session
Until Congress Ends On German Question
Next Regular Session May Be Held Today
Controller General Rules
In Favor of Justice
Under Fire of Bur

Controller General Lindsay C.
Warren ruled today that District
Court Justice Edward A. Tamm
is eligible to receive pay under
his recess appointment until the
end of the next session of Con-
greSS, which begins in January.
The ruling followed closely an
other demand by the District Bar
Association that Justice Tamm be
removed from the bench. The as
sociation's Board OF Directors late
yesterday decided to call on the At
torney General and the United
States attorney to file quo warranto
proceedings questioning Justice
Tamm's right TO serve.
Justice Tamm was appointed by
President Truman June 22-tWo
days after Congress adjourned-de-
spite the Senate's failure TO act
on two previous nominations sent
to the Capitol
The point at issue, GAO ofici,ls
explained, has been that if the
meeting of Congress last month had
been new session. within the
meaning of the Constitution. JUS
tlce Tamm could not have received
pav beyond August 7, when the Spe-
cial session ended.
Recess appointments hold only
until the end Of the next regular
session.
However. Mr.. Warren's ruling in
cluded in l5-page letter TO Henry
Chandler. administrative officer of
the United States courts, held that
the congressional meeting between
July rs and August I merely con-
Stituted continue ton of the sec
ond session" of the Eightieth Con-
gress.
The same ruling also applies, Of
ficials said. to two other recess ap-
pointees. They are Samuel Hamil-
ton Kaufman, district judge for the
southern district of New York, and
Paul Rao, Judge of the United States
Customs Court here.
If Attorney General Clark. and
United States Attorney George Nor
ris Fay refuse to take the action
the bar association asks. The group
plans to appeal to the Republican,
controlled Senate Judiciary Com
mittee, which refused to approve
Justice Tamm for the bench. The
committee would be asked to re
quest" Mr.. Fay to take action.
Salary Recovery Asked.
The bar association also recon-
menos that suit be filed for return
10 the Government of the salary
already paid to Justice Tamm, at
the rate of $4,000 a year.
Announcement of the bar aSso-
cations action was made last night
by Lowry NJ Coe. president. at the
close of the special meeting Of the
board. He said the directors. by a
