Pro-Portal Judge Transcript Read At Hearing
A transcript of a alleged pro labor remark by Federal Judge Frank A. Picard was read to a Senate judiciary subcommittee studying legislation to outlaw back pay suits by labor unions. The transcript, submitted by Theodore R. Iserman of Chrysler’s counsel, quotes the judge saying workers should receive full pay for time spent getting ready for their jobs, and that he is pro labor. The exchange raised questions about potential impeachment consideration, with remarks noting the lunch break and possible credit to the company for nonworking time.

United States weighs sanctions option over atomic pact
NEW YORK Jan 23 The United States delegation to the United Nations explored ways to punish nations violating an atomic energy control pact without triggering a veto. A proposed plan would let an international inspection agency declare a grave breach and prompt swift punishment by member states under article 51, allowing self defense actions even if the Security Council vetoes sanctions. The US and Russia differ on veto changes with the US insisting the veto not apply to atomic controls while Russia seeks to keep the veto but accept inspection bodies within the council. The issue was deferred to Feb 4 for further study, as Warren B Austin prepares to confer with Secretary of State George C Marshall ahead of Lake Success talks.
