Gains for Farmers
Seen in Removing
|Money-Losinq Trains
By the Asseeiated Press

The Agriculture Department
recommended today that money
losing passenger trains be removed
from service to try to put the Ma
tion's railroads on sounder
financial basis.
Under the present setup, the de-
partment said, freight shippers
must pay not only for the service
rendered them, but must make up
losses sustained in operating nom
paying passenger trains.
Farmers in particular, the de-
partment said, suffer financially.
Dropping of non-prof1table trains
requires approval of the Interstate
Commerce Commission, or in the
case Of intra-State runs, State
public service commissions.
In a special study of the fac
tors affecting the determination Of
freight rates on farm products, the
department said that in 1949
freight shippers paid $3.50 million
to railroads to help them cover
losses in operating passenger serv-
ice.
The department said that since
1880, with the exception of the
war period, 1942-1945, the major
railroads have incurred an annual
operating loss in furnishing pas
Senger and allied services.
To make up the passenger
deficit, the ICC granted freight
rates higher than were necessary
to cover the cost of the freight
service, the study said.

.Subcontractor Fined
$1,000 for VIOLATING
Law on Overtime Paw

A former bronze dealer was
fined $1,000 yesterday by Federal
Judge Albert v. Bryan at Alex
Iandria on a chrage of violating the
Fair Labor Standards Act while
engaged as a subcontractor on the
George Washington University
Hospital.
Jacob Kressfield. now of Miami
Fla, who formerly operated the
Empire Bronze Co. in the zoe
block of Telegraph road, Alex
Iandria, pleaded no contest to the
last 26 of the 46 counts in the
criminal information. The first
10 counts were dropped by the
United States attorneys office.
1t was testified by Frederick j
Cunningham. investigator for the
Labor Department, that Kressfield
failed to pay time and a half to q
number of employees for work they
did over 40 hours in one week.
Kressfleld's reports to the Gov
eminent, however showed that
time and half had been paid,
said Mr.. Cunningham. The inves-
tigator said the employees actually
were paid straight time for the
overtime work.
The Fair Labor Standards Act,
familiarly called the wage and
hour law. requires payment of time
and a half for work over 40 hours
in one week to employees involved
in interstate commerce. or in the
production of goods for interstate
commerce.
The underpayments occurred
between January, 1948, and April,
l949. Mr.. Cunningham said. Each
count in the criminal information
charged a specific underpayment,
except the last count which
charged failing to keep proper
records.
Kressfield contended he had
been out of town because of his
wife's illness for some time and
the record-keeping had been left
to employees. He said his en-
ployes had been dissatisfied be-
cause they could not have a closed
shop in Virginia.

New Effort 10 Retain
Nimifz Commission
Is Thwarted in House

Another effort to keep the
Nimitz Commission on Internal
Security and Individual Rights in
business was blocked in the House
yesterday.
Representative Ford, Republic
can, of Michigan objected when
an amendment requiring unani-
nous consent to exempt commits
sion members from the conflict
of interest laws came up. These
laws forbid any Federal employe
from dealings with the Govern
nent on private business.
Several weeks ago, eight of the
nine members of the commission,
headed by Fleet Admiral Chester
w. Nimitz, resigned because the
exemptions had not been granted.
President Truman, who appointed
them, refused to accept the reSig-
nations.
Walter May Seek Action.
Representative Walter. Demo-
crat, of Pennsylvania. leader OF
the fight for exemptions, said the
amendment would come up again.
Three objections then would be
necessary to block it. There also
is the possibility Mr.. Walter will
seek Rules Committee action in
an effort to get the legislation to
the House floor for debate.
Meanwhile, on another section
of the loyalty front, the House
Committee on Un-American Ac-
tivities meets in executive session
today to hear new witness in
the John Garfield case and to
schedule it's summer program.
Mr.. Garfield testified before the
committee April % and shortly
afterward the committee sent the
testimony to the Justice Depart

jury. The stage and screen star
stated he had never known a

Detroit Transit Strike
lis SET for Arbitration;
l130therC Cities Tied Iii
BY the Associated Press

A break in Detroit's stubborn
46-day-old transit strike appeared
possible today while tieups still
plagued Is other cities across the
Nation.
Hopes in the Detroit walkout
took brighter turn last night
when it was agreed to submit the
entire contract to arbitration.
This was along the line Of a plan
submitted several days ago by the
AFL operators union.
New Castle, Sharon and Farrell.
Pa, were the latest cities to feel
the effect Of a transportation tie
up. Ninety bonus drivers walked
out over wages.
Ten Others on List.
The Pennsylvania cities joined
10 others already on the list
Chattanooga. Tenn; Muncie, An
derson and Richmond, Ind; Ma
rion. Ohio; Little Rock, Ark; Og-
den, Utah: Pocatello, Idaho, and
Duluth, MINI. and Superior, Wis.
A strike is threatened in New
York City within a month. The
City Board of Transportation there
rejected all union conditions for
averting strike. The union coun-
tered with a statement that until
the board agreed-in writing-to
Ia 40-hour week after July /, ne
gotiations would be useless.
The firing of driver in the
Staying of Negro passenger
brought on the Chattanooga walk
out. Elsewhere wage disputes were
the cause.
Law Proves Obstacle.
The arbitration agreement in
the thorny Detroit tieup came
after a surprise meeting in which
negotiators on both sides made
concessions.
Only obstacle to a complete
settlement appeared to be the
State Hutchinson Act, a relatively
new Michigan law which prohibits
strikes in public utilities and pro-
vides penalties against strikers
The Detroit system is municipality
owned.
1t was agreed that the transit
system could make provision for
a retroactive wage increase while
the act was being tested in the
courts.
The Detroit operators have
asked a wage increase of 8la
cents an hour. The city offered
5 cents on condition that oper-
ators give up several fringe"
benefits that boost their base pay
from $l.671a an hour to an aver
age Of $3.50.

Il
transfers, veteran employees who
are now In the armed forces
will not lose out because of these
promotions. He indicated this
problem will have to be worked
Iout if the current proviso is to be
modified.
| Mr. Whitten referred to Govern
ment employees now in the military
Service and who, because of their
absence, won't get a chance at
promotions. However, civil service
regulations have been issued re-
quiring agencies to give veterans
every consideration when promo
tions are being made. Under this
program, returning veteran
would be placed in the higher job
assigned him while he was in the
military service, and he would re-
ceive all the time credit for within
grade promotions as if he had
never left the Federal service.
Whether this promotion regu-
lation will satisfy Mr.. Whitten re-
mains to be seen. He may insist
on a stronger guarantee that vet
Grams won't lose promotion oppor-
Itunities through the advancement
Iof non-veterans.
The Mississippian, however,
confirmed this columns report
last month that he feels the cur
rent rider may be too severe in
some instances on career employees.
AS for permanent appointments in
Government, Mr.. Whitten points
out this ban is an executive order
and can be modified by the Presi-
dent if he wants to. The fact re-
mains, however, that the ban on
permanent appointments was
made to avoid conflict with the
Whitten rider that bars perma-
nent promotions and transfers.
Should the Whitten rider be
modified, as now appears likely,
the Administration in all prob
ability would then modify the ban
on permanent appointments.
