WASHINGTON—Congress heard
_cries yesterday that recent air
plane crashes are making the Afierican people afraid to. fly.. At the
same time, there were demands fdran investigation of recent crashes.
Congressmen voiced their views' on the eve of a Sehate committee's
scheduled broad examination of commercial aviation. Although this
inquiry by the Senate Commerce Committee will also probe the
question of safety precautions, House members urged a separate in
vestigation by the lower house of
Congress.
Senate Democratic leaders
decided to _ form a compact
group -to .battle for President
Truman's program. In addition,
they moved to sharpshoot any
Republican proposal that they
deem unwise.
Moreover, Democratic Leader
Albert Barkley of Kentucky said
he plans to • announce the ap
pointment of a seven-member
policy committee authorized
under the Congressional Re-'
organization Act. Barkley de
clined to divulge the member
ship.
But_ there were reports that
younger men may take the
place of some• of the veteran
Democrats who have taken a
leading role in party councils in
the past. The aim is to put more
vigor in the new minority's
counter-attack against the G
-0-1).
BUFFALO—The largest portal
to-portal pay suit yet has been
filed in the federal district court.
The suit asks for four billion dol
lars in behalf of the employees of
Bell Aircraft Corporation's Geor
gia Division at Marietta, Georgia.
When a. Buffalo attorney filed
the suit, he said he knew nothing
about it at• all at this time, except
that the suit asked two billion
ffollars in back pay and an equal
amount in liquidated damages.
WASHINGTQN—A short time
earlier, the 'W-F-ot.L Metal
Trades Department assailed::
portal pay suits.as a breach
faith on the part of unions. The
A-F-of-L took this• stand while
• both branches of Congress turn
, ed their attention to bills to out
law the claims, mostly filed by
• , •C-I-0 unions.
