Superintendent
By Colt HendIey, Jr.

School Supt. Hobart M. Corning
today was reappointed to his $14,.
000-a-year post by the Board o1
Education in a split ballot, six tt
three.
The ballot was secret and mos
board members did not reveal the
way they voted.
The vote was an indication o1
the sharp split which had de-
veloped between DR.. Corning and
some members Of the School
Board.
Adelbert w. Lee, board vice
president, long ago stated publicly
his intention of trying to block
DR.. Cornings reappointment. He
would not say how he voted today.
DR.. Phillip T. johnson and c.
Melvin Sharpe. board president.
also have been critical Of DR..
Corning's administration. They
would not say how they voted.
Backed by DIR. Cannon.
DR.. James A. Cannon, DR..
Corning's main supporter, made
no secret of his ballot. He de-
clared the victory of those who
supported DR.. Corning was decla-
ration of the confidence in the
ability and experience Of the
superintendent"
Wesley S. Williams also said
he voted for DR.. Corning.
DR.. Corning was not in the room
as the board members began the
special session. After the ballot
was announced. he was called in
and Mr.. Sharpe told him:
"Dr. Corning, I am glad to an
nounce that you have been reap
pointed for term of three years.
DR.. Corning said:
This does end quite a suspense
and a period of anxiety. I appre-
ciate the action of the board"
Two Statements Ready.
DR.. Corning, whose side was
taped up because of a broken rib
he suffered in a fall over the holi-
days, then said he had prepared
two statements for the occasion
one in the event he was not re-
appointed and the other if he was
rehired. He pulled paper from
his left-hand coat pocket and pro-
ceeded with his short statement.
After expressing his apprecia-
tion to the board for his reap
pointment, DR.. Corning said:
This gives me the opportunity
to continue my services for the
wonderful children of Washing
ton: to work again on the develop
ment of this great school system
of ours; to work with my loyal
and efficient staff; to continue my

Supreme Court Rules
For Per Diem Worker!
In Premium Pay Fight
Double -Time-ond-u-Holf
For Holidays Is Approved
At GPO in World War II

The Supreme Court ruled today
that Government Printing Office
per diem workers were entitled to
double -time-and-a-half for work
ing on certain holidays during
World War II.
The high court, in a 6-to-3 de-
cision. upheld a Court Of Claims
judgment that such employees were
entitled to premium pay and gra.
tuity pay under a special enact.
ment of June. 1888, although Fed
eral employees on per annum
basis had to work on those ho1i-
days without any additional pay.
3 Justices Disagree.
Justice Minton wrote the ma
jority opinion from which Chief
Justice Vinson and Justices Reed
and Black dissented.
Government officials said the
ruling in a test case brought by
John S. Kelly of 4713 ty-fifth
street NV, a GPO employe, would
benefit hundreds" of other GPO
employees. They also said it would
apply to thousands of other per
diem Government workers who
may have similar valid claims"
Mr.. Kelly last April won a Court
of Claims decision awarding him
$172.32. He brought the test case
in. behalf of Local 101 of the In
ternational Typographical Union
1888 Law Noted.
The Supreme Court majority
opinion noted that the 1888 law
specifically named the holidays on
which premium pay and gratuity
pay was to be paid. Under a
wage agreement between the pub
lie printed and journeymen print
ers at the GPO,, per diem and per
hour employees were to be paid at
the double -time-and-a-half rate
if they worked on the specified
holidays.
Nothing in the resolution OF
1888 prohibits such a wage agree
ment and indeed the Government
comedies this fact" Justice Min
ton wrote. Merely because the
resolution itself may not award
|gratuity pay for holidays worked
is no ground for vitiating a wage
agreement which does"
