with the rest of the Govern
ment's departments and agencies
also allowed 1,250,000 workers.
Meanwhile, Senator Byrd. Demo-
crat. of Virginia, said today
the Governments present payroll
equals and probably exceeds the
peak payroll Of World War II.
when the annual cost of Govern
ment employees salaries totaled
$8.3 billion. While the Govern
ment's present employment is only
about 10 per cent of peak World
War II levels, the larger salaries
now paid Federal employees result
in the payroll cost being at least
equal to that of the last war,
Senator Byrd said.
Under Senator Johnston's
amendment, determination of how
many employees each agency could
have would be left to the Director
of the Budget Bureau, but the
total could not exceed 2.5 million.
The Budget Bureau also would
make sure that the separate maxi
NUNS for the Defense Depart
ment and for all other agencies
were not disregarded.
Senator Johnston declared he
is very much alarmed over the
rate Of Federal hiring since the
outbreak Of the Korean war.
With Federal hiring increasing
by $4,000 to $4,000 workers a
month, Senator Johnston said he
feels there must be a halt some

Supreme Court Asked
To Give Final Ruling
lin Dollar Line Case

The Supreme Court has received
still another petition In the dis
Ipute between the Government and
the Dollar shipping interests. but
this one seeks a basic decision to
end all other rulings, requests and
side issues.
Solicitor General Philip B.
Perlruan declared in q petition
fled late yesterday that the fight
for ownership of the American
President Lines is so complicated
that it can be settled only by the
high court.
The tribunal, he urged, should
hand down one final decision on
the core Of the controversy as to
whether the Government or the
Dollar interests have title to stock
in the $68 million ship line now
operated by the Government.
Contempt Appeals Pending.
Pending before the tribunal as
lit nears adjournment of its cur
rent term are several appeals and
counter motions concerning con-
tempt judgments and other or
ders.
The United States Court Of Ap-
peals here recently found Secre-
tary Of Commerce Sawyer and
eight others guilty Of contempt
for not complying with its or
Iders to give the Dollar group "ef-
fective possession" Of controlling
stock in the ship line.
/ Chief Justice Vinson stayed the
contempt proceedings and possible
imprisonment Of the nine officials
until the full court could decide
whether to review their appeal.
The Dollar interests have asked
the court to set aside that stay.
In Dispute Since 1945.
The Government also has asked
the Supreme Court to review rul-
ings by the appeals court last
April directing Mr.. Sawyer to turn
over the stock to the Dollar group.
and also preventing the Govern
ment from taking advantage Of
an injunction granted by q Fed
eral District Court judge in San
Francicso. The latter injunction
would bar the Dollar interests
from taking over the 2 million
shares Of stock until the Supreme
Court makes a final determine
ton.
In 1888 the Dollar interests
transferred the stock to the old
Maritime Commission. They de-
clare this was a pledge for Gov
! eminent loans. The Government
contends it was an outright sur
render Of the stock. The dispute
has been in the courts since 194s
and three times reached the Su-
|preme Court on various issues.
The Justice Department main.
i tains that the high court, al.
: though upholding some Appeal.
