Almost equal- ly exclusive is the room just out- side the Supreme Court conference | chamber. Fewer people enter here than the office of the President of the United States. One person who never worries about Supreme Court sanctity, however, is vivacious Miss “Jojo"” Black, 15-year-old daughter of Justice Hugo Black Like her father, she believes in getting! things done. ! Once, during a highly exclu- i sive Supreme Court conference, | Justice Black got a telephone call| from his home.

They sold it to U. S. Steel for ex- actly 20 cents on the dollar. Then you say we at Fontana have to pay up 100 cents on the dollar. That means the extra debt burden Fontana pays adds 16 dollars a ton to the price of steel we charge our customers. We don't want to gouge our customers to pay back the RFC. The Government wants lower prices, yet the Government forces us to charge high prices.” “But r. Kaiser,” interrupted Virginia's Democratic Congress- man Porter Hardy, “if the Govern- ment forgives you these excessive wartime construction costs, won't that mean they'll have to do the same for every other firm that has a war-built plant?” “No, it doesn’t,” Kaiser replied “The only other possible company in the same position is Reynolds Metals.” Kaiser also pointed out that the Government took a loss of more than $60,000000 on three surplus plants sold to U.
