Alaska RR Worker Gets $lO,l30 Back Overtime Pay

WASHINGTON, (R- The Jus tice Department said Tuesday it does not consider the Poggas case, involving overtime pay for incorporating employees of the Alaska Railroad, as a pilot case for all of the pending claims for overtime by the railroads en- ployes.

 Kimball Barnes, Justice De- partment attorney who took over the Poggas case while it was in progress, said he did not recall any stipulation that the decision would automatically settle all other cases.

 Murdock said the decision paves the way for payment of between $5,OOO,OOO and $6,000,000 in over time pay to some $50 non-operat- ing employees.

 "You intend to establish a pre- sumptive demarcation line and demilitarized zone, which will re- lease you of any necessity to set tie the remaining items of the (armistice) agenda with speed and equity.
 "You want to establish a spur ious line and zone which will provide you with the leisure and freedom to continue delaying the conference" r" " ..
 The Reds want to fix a cease fire line before taking up any other item on the agenda. The LIN command insists that the line follow the war front at the time all other armistice terms are ag- reed upon.

New British Loan Will Be Subject of January Meeting

KEY WEST, Fla, P P- Presi- dent Truman's agreement to meet with British Prime Minister Win ston Churchill in January lent emphasis to reports a new Eng fish loan is in the making.
 Presidential Secretary Joseph Short was telling reporters at news conference of how the Pres ident got up early Sunday and walked outside the naval sub marine station where he has his quarters, and of how he swam and sunbathed at the naval sub marine station.
 Suddenly a reporter asked about a story, by John M. High tower of the AP, that Churchill is expected to visit Washington early in January for talks with the President.
 Quite probably the Prime Min ister will be in Washington some time in January" Short said.
 Ever since the British election campaigns that sent Churchill back into control of the British government, it has been a gen. erally known fact that Churchill would renew his old acquaint- ance with MT. Truman if re- turned to power.
 No matter what the two discuss nothing will exceed in importance British need for financial aid.

Rich Food Sickens Joe, Big Kodiak Bear, At San Diego Zoo

SAN DIEGO, Calif., (P)-Rich food was blamed today for the illness of Jim, big Kodiak bear, which has been a favorite at the San Diego zoo for 20 years.

 The bear, paralyzed in his hind legs, has eaten great quan- titles of candy, bread, nuts and popcorn thrown to him by the zoo public over the years.
 Jim, who weighs 1,700 pounds, was brought from Kodiak island, Alaska, with a brother Joe, in 1881. Joe died of an infection several years ago.
