Supreme Court Backs
Good Faith Sections
Of Portal Pay Law
by ths Asseeiotsd Press

The Supreme Court today in ef-
feet upheld constitutionality of the
good faith" sections of the portal
to-portal law.
Those sections permit employers
sued for back portAl-to-portal pay
to plead as defense that they acted
In good faith, or that they relied iE
good faith on an interpretative rul-
ing made by Government agency.
Only a week ago, the court in ef-
feet held that Congress had the
right to outlaw certain portal-to-
portal claims retroactively. That
action, as was today's, was by lefus-
ing to revie wlower court decisions.
Six Billions in Claims Filed.
So-called portal-to-portal claims
are for pay for time spent at the
employers plant changing clothes
sharpening tools or otherwise pre-
pairing for productive work. Some
So 900 900, 900 of such claims we're
filed after q court decision in 1916
apparently opened the way for
them.
Congress then stepped in with the
portal-to-portal act outlawing most
Of them.
The case the high court refused
today to review was one filed by
maintenance workers employed in a
building in New York, which is
owned by the Mutual Life 1nsur rance
Co.
The employees appealed from deci-
sions by Federal courts in New
York that the good faith" sections
knocked out their claims for over
time pay.
The court today also:
Upheld Sd an 100000 award Ia
Grand Hydro, an Oklahoma cor
poration, for 1852 acres of land con-
demned for use in construction OF
dam by the Grand River Dam
authority. The big point was that
the award included estimated value
Of the land as a power site.
Justice Douglas, who wrote the
main dissent, contended 1t meant
giving a private party the water
power value of a rivers current al
though the Federal Power Act said
the party could not acquire it. He
joined in the dissent by Justices
Black. Rutledge and Murphy. JUS
tice Burton wrote the majority
