Monroe Johnson led off by accusing 1) CPA, for not allocating enough steel for cars and 2) the railroads, for not ordering enough cars. With the U.S. in immediate need of 100,000 freight cars, railroads have so far placed orders for only 78,000. What the railroads should do, said Johnson, was order at least 250,000.

Picard was ordered to decide whether workers' time between punching the time clock and starting work was a trifle (which could be ignored) or substantial (which must be paid for). And, in Justice Murphy's phrase, he was to do so "in light...
Special officer Edward Gelnnon, dispatched to the snow country by Cambridge police headquarters to take part in the hunt, returned two nights ago with the opinion that the testimony of cafe employees in Meredith asserting they had served Gardiner on January 28, was the best clue to work...
