Court Rules Portal Pay Is Not Justified
Washington reports a federal court ruling that portal-to-portal pay for underground travel time is not required under the Fair Labor Standards Act. The decision, from Lynchburg Virginia, threatens the wage settlement with United Mine Workers affecting about 460,000 miners and could influence the War Labor Board deliberations on the pending contract. UMW officials and supporters promise to appeal, while observers consider possible changes to the $2.60 weekly portal pay and $40 retroactive payment if WLB approval is pursued.

U S Patrol in Cassino Pinned Down by Nazis
A 14 man American patrol entered Cassino outskirts led by 2d Lt. Filbert Munoz of Kansas City. German fire forced them to hunker in an 18 inch irrigation ditch for four hours as artillery and machine gun fire raked the area. The group avoided heavy losses, aided by a barrage called in by Pfc. Earl Maddox. The patrol suspected a Benedictine monastery on Mount Cassino housed German observers, while Allied artillery masked the move with smoke. American troops also crossed the Rapido River with little resistance after overcoming a 3,000 mine belt and suspecting altered irrigation to flood the crossing.
