Plan Will Ease U. S.

‘Manpower Problem.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 23 (U..P.. ~—Chairman Robert R. Reynolds . N. C) of the senate military ‘affairs committee : today advocated ‘abolition of the 40-hour work week as a way of solving manpower problems. . “All we have to do to solve completely he manpower shortage is lift the restriction of 40-hour week to 56 or 57 hours weekly,” he said. “That would involve, of course, elimination of overtime — time-‘and-a-half and double-time pay for ‘all work over 40 hours.” He made his proposal to reporters as his committee prepared to resume its full-dress investigation of the manpower situation. War Production Board Chairman Donald M. Nelson and Brig. Gen. Frank J. McSherry, the war department’s representative on the war manpower commission, had been scheduled to testify today but the hearing was called off because of the senate’s early meeting to act on the 18 and 19-year-old draft bill. Hearings will be resumed Mon- | day with War Secretary Henry L. ~ Stimson as the witness. Ask Labor Leaders to Testify

Mr. Reynolds said he probably

would ask President William Green|-

of the American Federation of Labor, President Philip Murray of the Congress of Industrial Organizations and President John UL. Lewis of the United Mine Workers to testify to sound them out on his proposal for a longer work ‘week. “The work week in Great Britain now is 57 hours,” Reynolds said, “In ‘Germany it is 60 hours and in Japan workers( are employed a ‘minimum of 70 hours weekly.” “I think American labor, particularly organized union labor, is willing to make the sacrifice of a longer work week in order to pro-

tect their post-war interests,

WITH THE “promise-everything-possible” season in full swing again, it’s sort of funny to watch the politicians battle over who gets:

credit for what.

The other day Frank J. Veihmann, Democrafic insurance commissioner, issued a statément in which he announced that automobile insurance rates would be decreased with the advent of gasoline

rationing. ; There are a lot of automobile

owners in the state to whom that was good news and ‘the Republicans couldn't see any use of letting the Democrats get credit. So Republican State Treasurer James Givens explained in an . address that the reductions go into effect almost automatically with gasoline rationing “especially when the insurance department of the state in question is ‘on its toes.” Then, the next day with 15,000 teachers in town, three Republican = state - officials, Mr, Givens, State Auditor Richard T. James and Superintendent of Public Instruction Clement T. Balan, issued a statement designed to be very attractive to the school teachers. They said they would recommend to the next legislature that the state pay minimum teachers’ salaries—an average of $1050. This would make it possible for local school officials to raise teachers’ salaries without further increasing local taxes and in some instances make it ible both to raise salaries and lower property taxes. ' This would cost the state about $2,000,000. ' 8 2 2

Bays Claims Credit

FRED. F. BAYS, Democratic state chariman, had no intention of letting the Republicans get away with this one—especially with 15,000 - school teachers in town, * a So he issued a statement today, pointing out that Governor Schricker has said repeatedly that “I wish that we could pay out of the state treasury a minimum salary so that the teacher would know he is going to get his money without any doubt.” “Not only,” Mr. Bays said, “are

In both cases they merely adopted Democratic recommendations.” His reference to the increase already made was to the recent action of the G. O. P.-controlled state board of finance in increasing tuition support to the schools from $700 to $800 per teaching unit—the amount of increase recommended in the Democratic platform. 2 8 ®

Labor Not Forgotten

ANOTHER EXAMPLE of this “try - to - keep - the - other-fellow-from - carrying - the-ball” strategy occurred recently at the state federation of labor convention at South Bend. Governor Schricker announced himself in favor of increasing unemployment compensation benefits from “$16 for 16 weeks to $20 for 20 weeks. State G. O. P. Chairman Ralph Gates came along in a later speech and placed himself on record, too, as favoring such an.increase but pointed out that it was a legislative matter. (The Republicans expect to control the legislature.) P. S. We wonder how long that $20,000,000 surplus in the state treasury is going to last? -

JURY INDICTS TWO FOR STEALING CHILD

SAN FRANCJSCO, Oct. 23 (U.P). —Kidnaper William Thompson, alias Beaumont Du Bois, and his young bride, Charlotte, were’ indicted by the grand jury yesterday for the abduction of 1-yedr-old Vivian Miller from San Francisco to Grants Pass, Ore., last week. : Superior Judge Edward fixed bail at $50,000 each. Thompson said he kidnaped Vivian “because we always wanted a child of our own,” but abandoned her in Grants Pass after reading of a coastwide search for the missing child.

CANADA LIMITS BUS TRIPS TO 50 MILES

OTTAWA, Oct. 23 (U. P)— Passengers on Canadian bus lines will be restricted to 50-mile trips after Nov. 15, to save gasoline, tires and labor. A passenger may buy a 50-mile round-trip ticket, but may not make a continuous journey of more than 50 miles except on routes approved by the transit controller, the munitions and supply department said last night, in announcing the order.

Sufficient Power, Givens Charges. The war effort has been hampered by the political-mindedness of the New Deal leadership, not by the Republican minority in government, Republican State Treasurer James Givens declared in an address at a G. O. P. rally at Sunman last night. : The state treasurer asserted also that the “President has hampered the nation’s war effort by his jealous disposition to cling to power. He has failed to delegate any of the power conferred by his great office and by the acts of congress to leaders capable of unifying the war. effort, he said. : } . “He has set up agencies to control war production, to control manpower, to control labor relations, to control prices and to control about everything else except the weather! But in each instance he has withheld. just enough poweg to render each agency helpless and to cause each agency to become embroiled in controversies and feuds with other agencies,” he declared.

Flays Useless Boards

Mr. Givens was one of a number of Republican speakers appearing at political rallies throughout the state in behalf of the party’s ticket. At Vincennes, Rue Alexander, candidate for secretary of state, charged the national administration with continuing useless boards and commissions and urged that they be discontinued for the duration. State Auditor Richard T. James criticized the administration’s handling of the rubber problem in a talk at Ligonier. :

Quotes Frank Phillips

He quoted from an article by Frank Phillips of the Phillips Petroleum Co. in which Mr, Phillips said, “the administration is twotiming industryeby prosecuting it for alleged anti-trust violation while other branches are urging business co-operation which may be the foundation of future anti-trust suits.” Paul Dowell, candidate for judge of the appellate court, and A. W. Sullivan, chairman of the Republican labor committee, spoke at rallies in Indianapolis. - Mr. Dowell said that the bureaucracy at home was “equally as dangerous as that against whom our boys are now fighting” and Mr. Sullivan praised the labor record of the Republican party.

Dawson Hits Experiments

In a speech at Terre Haute, Lieut. Gov. Charles Dawson said that “while we, the people of the U. S., are breathlessly awaiting word of victory for our armed forces, we find new dealers in Washington searching in every corner of the country for some new method of extending further the social experimentation and regimentation of our people. “Yes, my friends, a change is needed. We need men in congress who will be more interested in winning the war than they are in buying farms for deserving new dealers; men who believe more in governmental economy than they do in spending the people’s money for social experimentation and traipsing around the country in airplanes and private railroad cars.”
