need not record their hours or be paid overtime under the law,” Mr. Fleming said. The new ruling by the wage-hour administration redefined five classes of employees hitherto exempt to some degree from provisions of the law—executives, administrative employees, professional workers, local retail employees and “outside” salesmen—salesmen who drive a truck and make deliveries. The latler provision, wage-hour officials
said, also will exempt advertising| solicitors selling space for news- |
papers, magazines, radio stations or networks and freight solicitors. Officials emphasized that in most cases the application of the new
definitions would have to be decided on the basis of individual circumstances. The bulk of those affected were _#aid to be in the administrative, professional and local retail categories. Mr. Fleming estimated that! “at least” 100,000 would be exempt | in each of the first two classes.| Other officials believed the retail and driver-salesmen exemptions might exceed the first two com-| bined.
Entitled to Overtime
The new regulations provide that | an executive is one whose primary | duty consists of management of an| ‘enterprise or a “subdivision,” at a
- salary of at least $30 a week. He] also must have direct or indirect
power to “hire and fire.” - An executive also must be a pergon whose “work of the same nature | as that performed by non-exempt employees does not exceed 20 per cent of the number of hours worked in the work week by the non-ex-| empt employees under his direction.” That provision does not apply to a person in sole charge of an enterprise or a branch. “Working foremen” were declared entitled to overtime pay. Mr. Fleming said the new definition of adminis¥rtive. employees
exempts such persons as bank tel-|
managers, credit supervisors of
lers, personnel managers, buyers, machine tools, claim agents, auditors, analysts, tax experts.

Some Writers Included
Three types of administrative workers are exempt. All must be paid $200 a month or mere. The first type exempted is one who regularly and directly assists an executive or another exempt administrative employee; the second is one who performs duties directly related to management policies or general business operations along specialized -or technical lines re-

Mr. Fleming _ said .that a “title!
alone is of little or no assistance in determining the true importance of any employee to an employer. Titles can be had cheaply and are of no determinative value.”
In the professional category, aside
from a general exemption of doctors, lawyers and dentists, are persons whose work is “predominantly intellectual and varied in character as opposed to routine mental, manual, mechanical or physical
" work, and requiring the consistent
exercise of discretion and judgment in its performance.” In this class are certain types of
writers, photographers, motion pic-|
ture actors, musicians and painters. Like thé exempt administrative employees they must receive not less than $200 a month. In addition, their work must be “predominantly original and creative in character . as opposed to work which can
be produced by a person endowed |
_ with general manual or intellectual ability and training.” .

ANNOUNCEMENT
GENERAL MOTORS
recognizes the present emergency. It
realizes its duty to the nation to advance in every way within its power the
program of National Defense. It has already assumed most important obligations. But in addition General Motors believes that industry today has a second responsibility—one of vital consequence. American defense demands first call on those products of industry, both as to scope and volume, which are essential to protecting the nation against aggression. It also demands, even though the fact be less generally recognized, a sound and virile economy. One is the complement of the other. A sound economy is essential to the objectives of the defense program.
In line with its conception of this dual
responsibility, General Motors presents
at this time its 1941 offerings of motor cars. It has combined with the important responsibilities it has assumed under the defense program its normal responsibilities incident to our peace-
time economy. The new line of motor
cars is now on display before the critical judgment of the public at the ‘Automobile Shows and in General Motors dealer showrooms in every community throughout the land.
It has alavs been the policy of General Motors ‘to build into its products the greatest possible measure of value. It has created an engineering group which, from the very beginning of the industry, has made far-reaching contributions to technical progress. It has contributed importantly to the motor car’s becoming the serviceable mechanism of today. From the electric self-starter in the early days down through the years, one engineering achievement has followed another. And in great variety: tilt-beam headlights, Duco lacquer finishes, crankcase ventilation; syncro-mesh transmission, Fisher No Draft Ventilation, Knee-Action wheels, Turret Top, auto-

matic transmissions and steering column gearshift.
B.. that is not all! General Motors
technicians have demonstrated their versatility by developing such engineering products as the Diesel locomotive, destined to tevolutionize transportation by rail. The Allison engine—an outstanding development in aviation engine practice and now coming into mass production—is making a contribution to one highly technical phase of the problem of National Defense. And in an allied field, tetra-ethyl lead as a component of gasoline has revolutionized the relationship of the fuel to the engine, producing more power with less weight and with greater efficiency. As a result, not an airplane leaves the ground today without in effect reflecting tribute to the technical capacity of General Motors. We are proud of this record of accomplishment. Itis the accumulated experience of such an engineering group that
has been built into the General Motors 1941 models.
In the different lines of motor cars comprising the General Motors offerings, there will be found countless refinements and innovations—some In some
cars, some in others, but reflected to an
; a 3 important degree in all:
A technical improvement of importance is a new fuel system—Compound Carburetion. It is an innovation in motor car engineering practice. To the regular carburetion system is added a second, or supplemental, carburetor which can come into action when the driver requires additional performance. In effect, but not in principle, it is like the supercharger. The engineering benefits resulting from this achievement take the form of added performance and increased fuel economy. This is exemplified in Buick.
A safety feature worthy of note, based upon the Unisteel . Turret Top body introduced by General Motors some years ago, consists of all doors being swung from the front. Thus they open against the wind-

stream of a car in motion.

BUICK
This tends to eliminate the hazard of doors swinging open if accidentally unlatched. The same feature provides greater convenience for front and rear door passengers alighting from the car at the same time.
A year ago General Motors announced a new mechanism to connect the axle with the engine—the Hydra-Matic drive. You simply. steer! The clutch is entirely eliminated. That is a most important feature. The changes i in gear ratio or speeds are automatic. This device is designed to take the transmission out of driving technique. And it does! This has been exemplified in Oldsmobile. The outstanding acceptance of this Hydra-Matic ~ drive as evidenced by the testimony of many thousands of enthusiastic users has had a stimulating effect in accelerating the industry’s progress in this important field. Thus is progress broadened. In a more highly refined and somewhat simplified form the Hydra-Matic drive will be continued in the 1941 line. You certainly will be intrigued when you see and try this interesting mechanism. :
But the modern motor car has become more than something in which to go from place to place. For many it is something to live with. . Hence more comfort, more luxury. of appointmedt and increased roominess characterize the new designs. General Motors 1941 cars are larger. The seats are wider. Thus there is more room for both passengers and baggage. inside the body is another innovation. The These should be important considerations in determining the motor car you wili drive in 1941.
The concealment of running boards
appointments are more luxurious.
Nor is that all! The “Torpedo”. type—the body sensation of 1940—has.been continued with even greater appeal. And there has been added another body creation—the aerodynamic type. Everyone should see and try it!
General Motors hopes that when you have seen and become acquainted with these 1941 motor cars you will be as enthusiastic about them as we are. And that you will get as great a thrill out of their interesting features, their performance, attractiveness, serviceability and utility as we have in their creation and in presenting them to you at this time.
