than 48 hours per week. “I don’t know how they would keep going at all if the employees were all put on a 48-hour week,” he said. Representatives of the institution employees and of the state person-

nel board appeared before the ways and means committee yesterday to

urge enactment of the bill.

Work 100-Hour Week

Hans Riemer, psychiatrist at the state prison and state president of the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees, told the committee many institution guards and attendants now -are working up to 100 hours a week on one of the lowest wage scales paid similar workers anywhere in the nation. “This situation is leading rapidly to disaster in our tutions,” Mr. | Riemer said. “These employees, - many of whom risk their lives in line of duty, work such:long hours that they cannot hope to have any home life, to become part of their respective communities. “When a guard at the prison, for instance, receives his day and a half off out of 21 days, he is lucky if he has the energy to go to a movie. When he gets home at night he is too tired to do anything but flop into bed and go to sleep.” Rowland Allen, member of the state personnel board, told the committee that experience had shown that by reducing the number of working hours for overworked employees, efficiency was stepped up to a point where few additional employees would be needed.

Wants ‘NEA Days’

“We all remember the NRA days,” Mr. Allen told the house committee, “when hours were shortened to spread employment. Within a few months the old employees were rested up and efficiency grew to the point where businesses were operating with the same number of employees as before.” Mr. Riemer quoted Warden Alfred Dowd of the state prison as having expressed the belief that if he could offer guards a “decent job” he could fill three eight-hour shifts with less difficulty than he now has in keeping enough guards for two shifts.

REPUBLICAN LEGISLATIVE TN have been forced to abandon hope for adjournment of the current session by March 1 because of the host of important bills that haven't yet left committees.

days before the deadline. “This won't be much,” admits “put it will be better than has . been done in many years.” In the last 90 years, there has been only one regular legislative session that didn’t run the full ‘time permitted by law. That was in 1871 when an early adjournment was forced because of a political squabble. Jess Andrew, chairman of the powerful house ways and means committee that has been holding essential financial bills, says that the state budget and civilian’ defense bills will be sent out of committee for house action this week. And, even if there is no shooting at these measures by the individual legislators they cannot possibly ' get through the legisla- - ture now until after March 1. Republican ‘leaders admit that the political propaganda that they had hoped to make by shortening the session won’t amount to much if the session is only shortened by a day or so. “But there’s not much one can do toward shortening a session when you have a group of ‘legislators. each one of whom thinks

2 Errors Discovered . TWO TYPOGRAPHICAL errors of a somewhat minor nature, have been discovered already in new laws passed by this session. ° In a banking law, the word “ration” is used -in place of “ratio” and in a law. pertaining to the operation ‘of airports by municipalities the word “leading” is used in place of “leasing.” These incorrect words are now officially a part of the-law. since the bills have been signed by the governor and they cannot be corrected . except by legislative amendment. These errors apparently were made by either the legislative engrossing or: enrolling rooms and while they probably are not important enough to be made the basis of a lawsuit at some future date they demonstrate just. how important it is for the legislative employees to be extremely accurate in their work, There ‘are usually one or two laws either made inoperative or illegal each session by enrolling or engrossing room errors. In preparing the two above- | mentioned laws for the printed acts, the secretary of state’s office will insert the proper words in parenthesis after the incorrect words.

or » 3. Willkies Plan Rest . WILLKIE NOTES: Mr. and Mrs. Willkie plan to leave Rushville Wednesday for a “short vacation” at Hot Springs, Ark. They will return to Rushville next week and remain until Feb, 27 when they will leave for St. Louis where Mr. Willkie ‘is to opén -a Red Cross drive the next day. From St. Louis, the Willkies will return to New York. . . . State Democrats are “burned up” at the ‘appearance ‘of Col. Walter Drysdale, commanding officer of Ft. Harrison, at the Republican state committee’s ‘luncheon last Thursday for Mr. Willkie. “The commandding officer of Ft. Harrison has no business attending a Republican state committee function,” one prominent Democratic leader commented. . . . Republicans are still laughing about the way Wil-. liam D. Murray, president of the G. O. P. Editorial association, announced the coming banquet of the editorial association: at the Willkie 'banquef the other night without mentioning that the main speaker at ‘the editorial event is to be Col. Robert McCormick, Willkie-hating publisher of the Chicago Tribune. Col. ‘McCormick is to speak here Feb. 27.

LONDON, Feb. 16 (U.P.).—Laborite Arthur Greenwood demanded in commons today immediate legislation to put into force the Beveridge plan for post-war social security in Great Britain and suggested that the united nations begin discussions on means of relieving mass unemployment in peace times. g Greenwood opened three days of debate on the plan of Sir William Beveridge, eminent British economist, for providing a decent living for all subjects “from cradle to
