Delay Asked
By the Associated Press
With retroactive portal-to-portal
pay suits asking a total of
more than $4,000,000,000 from
industry awaiting court action,
three new recommendations
were made today to limit em
ployers' liability in such cases.
Acting as a "friend of the
court," the National Association
of Manufacturers asked the fed
eral court at Detroit, considering
the original portal-to-portal suit,
to reject all claims for back pay
prior to June 10, 1946.
That was the date when the
supreme court made the decision
upholding such claims.
The request was made in a
brief filed in the case of the Mt.
Clemens Pottery company, now
before District Judge Frank A.
Picard on instructions from the
high court to determine an
award for the firm's workers.

Post Office
Receipts Drop
The volume of postal receipts
has fallen off suice the re
moval of the Marine Barracks
ana the naval air station irom
the Klamath Falls vicinity, ac
cording to Burt E. Hawkins,
postmaster, but not at the rate
that would normally be expect
ed.
Hawkins stated that during
1944. when the war-time instal
lations came to the basin, postal
receipts increased from 20 to
55 per cent in a very short
period of time. The year 1945
set a record for Klamath postal
receipts with $241,790.29. Total
volume for 1946 was $212.
130.60, or a decrease of only
12.266 per cent. Hawkins re
iterated that despite the de
crease, postal receipts are much
greater than before 1944, and
are now having a tendency to
level off as the decrease each
month lessens.
For the last quarter of 1946.
total receipts were $65,838.32
as compared with the same quar
ter of 1945 when the total was
$68,047.92. The decrease for
the quarter was 3.247, while the
decrease percentage for Decem
ber, 1946. compared to the same
month in 1945 was only .16. In
December, 1945. receipts total
led $28,909.52 and December,
1946. receipts totalled $20,
904.61. Income Tax
Change Asked
WASHINGTON. Jan. 10 (fP)
Senator Magnuson (D-Wash.) said
today that "anyone making up
to $2400 a year should be ex
empt from all income taxes.
He also said 1"- a statement
that he intends to offer legisla
tion designed to change the ex
isting laws to grant such exemp
tions and simplify what he said
"was the too complicated method
of figuring the taxes.
"Anyone making up to $2400
a year should be exempt from
all income taxes," Magnuson
said. "Persons in that income
bracket with families can't live
when they have to pay taxes in
addition to other costs and I
shall propose legislation to ex
empt them."
Magnuson said he favored
basing income taxes for indi
viduals entirely upon gross net
income before deductions.
The senator said he felt that
taxes should be simplified so any
taxpayer can compute what he
owes in 15 minutes.
