Jan. 18 -CD-Lee Pressman, CIO general coun sel, testified today that portal pay suits totalling more than $4,000, 000,000 filed mostly by CIO un ions are "highly exaggerated" and urged legislation to permit com promising them.

Pressman told a senate Judici ary subcommittee con sidering portal pay measures by Capehart and others that it would be pref erable to work the matter out "through collective bargaining on the back claims than to enact a law outlawing them at one fell swoop because it would be un constitutional as depriving the employes of property without due process of law."

Bax SI IB, Salem. Oregea Phase 24114 Evenings Ike Tells of Difficult Decision, To Order Jump at Cherbourg CHICAGO, Jan. 18-CP)-General of the Army Dwight D. Eisen hower's "most difficult" decision in World War II was to order two divisions of air-borne troops to land at Cherbourg in the face of advice their casualties would range from 75 to 90 per cent, the Chicago Daily News said in copyright story tdoay. The newsDaper said General Eisenhower made the disclosure in answer to a direct question wnen interviewed today by 165 high school editors and reporters known as the Keen Teen group, sponsored by the Daily News. The newspaper said General Eisenhower gave this version of his problem: Caaseways EascBUal Before the invasion of France it had been decided that a land ing at Cherbourg was necessary because a port was essential for supplying troops. The landing groups, however, faced the pros pect of being slaughtered unless the invaders could first gain con uol of causeways leading from the strip of sand called Utah beach to the mainland. Air-borne troops were decided upon as the only solution. The story added: "Six days before the scheduled landing an adviser and personal friend of the general pleaded with him not to send paratroop ers and glider units on the mis sion. "Casualties to glider troops would be 90 per cent before they ever reach the ground,' he told the general. "The killed and wounded among the paratroopers would be 75 per cent." War Hinged eat Causeways "Four days before the invasion the general still was undecided. The fate of the war then seemed to hinge on control of the cause ways between the beach and the mainland. "The general decided that the risk must be taken. Failure, he knew, would result not only in great loss of life. It also would mean his own loss of position and reputation. "The end of the story was re corded long ago at Cherbourg. The air-borne troops were landed with only 8 per cer.t casualties."
