London. April is P - Political circles opposed to Ramsay MacDon- ald and the labor party today charg- ed that although the former labor premier had thrown overheard Philip SnoWden, his repudiation had failed to clear a situation which was compromising in the extreme for his party.

ers, or the equivalent time off, four
hours, for those employees who must
work eight hours on Saturday. Its ef-
feet would be to establish 44-hour
work week in the postal service.
In the committee report on the bill
made to the House by Representative
Kelly of Pennsylvania. it is stated that
the purpose of the legislation is to elm
mate existing inequalities whereby Sat-
urday half-holiday privileges are de-
MED to many employees.
Mr.. Kelly points out that Post ONCE
Department employees at headquarters

schedule, which is further reduced dur
ing the Summer months by preSi-
Dental executive order. These depart
mental employees are paid from postal
revenues. the same as field postal en-

schedule
Postmaster General New has given
many field employees Saturday half-holi-
days by directing postmasters to relieve
all from duty who could be spared. But
there are thousands of employees who
have not benefited under the PostmaS-

legislation is required in order that they
may participate equally with their as

plains Pending Bill Relating to
Repairs to Army Airplanes.

The Importance of the amendment
which Senator Walsh of Massachusetts,
succeeded in having adopted on the

in providing additional work in the
Government navy yards and arsenals

president of District "A, international
Association of Machinists, which is
composed of machinists engaged in
Government work.
This amendment requires the Secre-
tary of War to see that the arsenals
perform repair work on airplane motors

The language of the amendment Is
about the same as has been carried for
several years in the Navy appropriation
bill and which has been responsible
for sending much. work to the Govern
men navy yards
In the Army reorganization act a
clause requires the Secretary OF War
to send ordnance work to arsenalS II it
can be produced on an economy basis,
but the airplane business has become
more important since then, and the
wording of that act does not apply to
airplane engines and parts. According
". the Walsh amendment was inserted
to cover this new and important branch
of work.

LEAVETT'S MEASURE TO
PROTECT CHURCH LAND

Congressman Scott Leavitt has
introduced a bill exempting lands
in national parks owned by religi-
Gus organizations and used exclu-
sively for religious purposes from
condemnation proceedings. The
purpose of this measure is to
assure to the Methodist church or
ganization in Montana the con-
tinued use of it's institute camp
ground at the foot of Lake Nc
Donald in Glacier Park.
At present privately owned lands
in national parks may be acquired
to be made available for public
use. A provision in the pending
interior department appropriation
bill authorizes the secretary of
the interior to negotiate contracts
with owner of such lands, pro-
viding for title to pass to the gov
eminent but for the property to be
used by the present owner during
his lifetime. Enactment of the
Leavitt bill would exempt the
Methodist camp from the posi-
bility Of being lost to the church
in this way.
