The Portal Pay Bill President Truman took neaily all the time allowable for making- up his mir.d whether to sign or veto the bill designed to outlaw most portal pay suits, or to let it become law with

out ms signature. Apparently he weighed all these courses thoroughly before deciding to approve the act with certain reservations.

ucu.vui.es, including ume spent in changing clothes or sharp-

ciuxjg iuui&, nau injected a cnaouc iactor into' lahor-manags-

incui, icirtuuns. iL,inniiiaLion oi iiiai iactor was a virtual necessity, even though the method proposed for doing so may not be wholly sound. For that reason, a veto probably would have been overridden. - There were arguments also for letting the bill become

law without his signature. But in signing 'the bill, Mr. Truman made available, and utilized, an opportunity to cite responsibilities which such legislation creates. These are emphasized in the message which he sent to Congress. First, he pointed out that the wage-hour' law should be extended to many workers not now protected by it. This has become .all the more important inasmuch as Congress is bent upon limiting the opportunity for labor to fight' for pay in- - creases. We are glad that he renewed his request for a higher minimum wage at least 65 cents an hour instead of the present 40 cents. This action is urgently needed to relieve the plight, of many workers, particularly in the south, who are below a bare subsistence level. 1 Second, Congress is responsible for the speedy correction of any flaws in this measure which might encourage unfair practices on 'the part of some employers. He exnressad belief that "it is not the purpose of the act to permit violation of our fundamental wage and hour standards, or to allow a lowering of these standards." But regardless of intent, the effect of some ambiguous provisions will remain uncertain, as he pointed cut, until they are interpreted by the counts. Congress may have to redo some of its work. Third Congress faces the responsibility of providing adequate funds and personnel for additional enforcement work which such legislation requires. On this score, the new Republican Congress has been highly inconsistent, as several ether measures likewise show. The president has pointed out that the -proposed purge of suspected Communists in government service will be a rather costly undertaking, yet Congross is trying to trim the budget of enforcement agencies in the name of economy. The House labor bill, it has been noted proposed to junk the National Labor Relations Board, but the Senate realized that the numerus restrictions which Congress seeks to impose upon unions would make it advisable to enlarge that agency " . , Congress can't pass regulatory measures , and ignore their by-products of responsibility. We hope those problems which the president cited are taken to heart.

' SENATE REPUBLICANS showed signs of activity over the succession to the Presidency in case of the death of both the President and the Vice-President. Under existing laws, the Cabinet ' follows, should there be a death in the Presidency, with .no Vice-President to' take over. This bill, which President Truman wanted passed a year ago, will make the Speaker of the House next in' line after the Vice-President. Another amendment to the bill would make the': highest ranking military leader on active, duty the President should all members of the Cabinet, the Congress, and "the President and Vice-President die in an attack upon this country: .

SENATOR GEORGE, Democrat of Georgia, said yesterday that; the Republicans will be unable to cut President Truman's budget more than two billion dollars, less than half their minimum goalHe said that is why the Senate this week should support a Democratic motion to defer action on tax reduction until after June 10.

Those are strong statements. We would I like to prove them to you. Science tells us that a great amount of heat is lost through ; uninsulated walls which comprise 60 to 80 of the exterior surface of the house I : . . heat you've paid to produce! I But, Baldwin-Hill iaot-Roakwoo! applied in the sidewalls and roof stops this heat loss. The result? fewer drafts, a health- j ier home and savings in fuel up to 40. i It's worth investigating.
