Berra Ready 70 Play;
Vic Raschi Scheduled
To Oppose Porterfield
By Burton Hawkins

The Mats at noon today gave up
hope of being able to open their
delayed series with the Yankees
at Griffith Stadium tonight and
announced that the game has
been postponed because Of the
rain and wet grounds.
Thus the scheduled three games
with the world champions here
dwindled to an afternoon contest
at 2:30 o'clock tomorrow, plus a
chance that one of the postponed
games may be played Monday.
Monday is scheduled as an off
day throughout the league and
the Mats were in touch by tele-
phone with the Yankees front
office this afternoon to discuss the
possibility of playing that day.
This was the fourth postponement
in a row for the Mats, two night
contests with the Athletics being
rained out this week.
The. White Sox are due here for
games Tuesday and Wednesday
nights.
Berra Due to Return.
The Yankees are at full strength
for the first time this season.
Starting pitchers who were sched-
uled to take the mound for both
teams in tonight'S game will ap-
pear tomorrow.
Yogi Berra, their most danger
Gus hitter, returns to the lineup
after a three-week absence to face
the Mats Bob Porterfield.
An early forecast of improved
weather today was changed
later and the Weather Bureau
predicted continuing drizzle or
light rain in the afternoon. fol-
lowed by cloudy skies tonight.
The forecast for tomorrow is
partly cloudy and warmer.
Berra will go behind the plate
to handle Vic Raschi, a 21-game
winner three straight years who
has a modest Us lifetime record
against Washington. The big,
Iright-handed Raschi lost two Of
three decisions to the Mats last
year.

ing Berra's return will perk up
the Yankees, struggling along
under the 500 mark. It's a new
sensation for Casey. for in his
three previous seasons with New
York the Yankees never dropped
below that level.

Power to Legislote
Still Lies With Conqress

It is said that other Presi-
dents, without congressional
authority, have taken possession
of private business enterprises
in order to settle labor disputes.
But even if this be true, Con-
gress has not thereby lost it's
exclusive constitutional author
ity to make laws necessary and
proper to carry out the powers
vested by the Constitution "in
the Government of the United
States, or any department or
officer thereof"
The founders of this Nation
entrusted the law-making power
to the Congress alone in both
good and bad times. It would
do no good to recall the his
torical events, the fears Of
power and the hopes for free
dom that lay behind their
choice. Such a review would
but confirm our holding that
this seizure order cannot stand.
The judgment of the District
Court is affirmed.
Mr.. Justice Frankfurter:
Although the considerations
relevant to the legal enforce
ment of the principle Of separa-
ton of powers seem to me more
complicated and flexible than
may appear from what Mr..
Justice Black has written, ]
join his opinion because I thor
oughly agree with the applica-
tion of the principle to the
circumstances of this case. Even
though such differences in atti-
tude toward this principle may
be merely differences in empha-
sis and nuance, they can hardly
be reflected by a single opinion
for the court. Individual ex.

the moment Government seizure
of the mills was ended. J Y
The workers in the basic9 sCeel
plants have remained on the job
the last two months only because
the Government seized the indus
try. Mr.. Murray had said his
members would not strike against
the Government.
The, old wage agreement under
which the union had been work
ing expired january /. -Four times
Mr.. Murray postponed strike ac-

Utilization Board could make pro-
lposals for. settling the dispute over
wages and other issues.
On March 20 the board handed
down its ruling. It proposed in
creaSes of 26 cents an hour in
wages and other benefits for the
steelworkers over an 18-month
contract period. The board also
said the workers should have the
union shop. Under that all en-
ployes of the steel companies
would be compelled to join the
union within short period.
Mr.. Murray'S union quickly ac-
|cepted the WSB proposals. The
steel companies refused to go
[along.+ The union was preparing
to strike April 8 when President
Truman seized the industry the
day before. ..+.
The workers engaged in four

Judge David A. Pine ruled seizure

At that time President Truman
called the disputants to the White
House for bargaining sessions. But
the conferences in the Cabinet

said further efforts at that time
to settle the dispute were futile.
