flashed to victory and knocked
off three-fifths of a second from
Johnny Weissmuller's Olympic
mark of So 3-5 seconds.
The spectacular performances
of these youthS-or rather,
kids-has caused the experts and
fans of many nations here as
sembled to remark:
Six mermaids-three from
America, and one each from
Holland, South Africa and Aus

Meets 8 1-3 P. G. Cut

This is quite erroneous. Sub
stituting the former 80 days
leave with pay is the new law
WHICH gives the employe "a
days enforced leave per year or
two days per month which he
may spend in any units of
hours and minutes he pleases.
Such a program meets the
necessary 8 13 per cent salary
reduction recently legislated to
become effective July / last.
But, if half hours and quar-
ter hours and odds and ends Of
minutes of leave were used in
a salary deduction calculation,
there would be hopeless con-
fusion in the bookkeeping of
the departments so it has been
ruled that the least unit of pay
deduction which. would be
chargeable would be that of a
single days leave or one and
one-quarter days pay.
This is to be computed against
future months only when more
than two days are taken off
in one month. because, whether
any time is taken off or not,
at least two days per month, or
one day in each semi-monthly
pay voucher. is deductible in
order to make the salary cuts
equal to one-twelfth of the pre-
viouS salaries, or 8 1-3 per cent
thereof.
The Washington times., 1932-08-08
Two Days Per Month

Thus, the minute an annual
employe takes, say two hours
off for baseball, a full day is
charged against him. But be-
fore the second full day ope-
rates against him. and he's got
to lose at least two of them
each month, the remainder of
the Seven-hour day, which would
be five hours, may be taken.
At present, an annual employe
is going to lose two days work
ing credit per month, calculated
as two and one-half days pay
based on his salary before
July l. last, whether or not he
takes any time away from his
office that particular month.
He may accumulate his two
days per month and take his
entire "a days at one time, or
he may take it piecemeal in
hours and minutes and at the
enc of the year his income will
have been the same. Briefly,
in taking time out for baseball,
golf, swimming, tennis or fish
ing, he is merely taking time
for which he isn't going to be
paid anyway.
Thousands are yet uncon-
vinced that they are not losing
something when they take a
few hours for this paStime or
that. In truth they are en-
titled to the same liberties for
sport or other purposes as be-
fore July l and their "a days
enforced vacation, for which
they will not be paid anyway,
is their own to take as and
when they please in any de-
sired fraction of hours,

No Change at All

In a nutshell, there is abso-
1utely no change today in the
privileges of leave for pur-
poses of attending ball games,
over what has heretofore been
the practice.
The only difference is one Of
calculation of time and pay,
within the division or bureau,
so made to simplify pay rolls
and adhere to a definite
amount of leave per month per
employe in order to meet the
required salary cut.
Basically, all annual employees
have been deprived of their
former 80 days leave with pay,
and for such a reason, accord
ing to the pulse as reflected in
conversations between habitual
Governmental baseball custom
ers and club officials, the vast
majority believe that any time
taken off for games will be at
their own expense and will be
deducted from their new pay.

He Would Have Won
Marathon Easily

LOS ANGELES, Aug. 8.-The
Olympic Marathon course this
year was the easiest in the his
tory of the games, according
to Paavo Nurmi, great Finnish
runner.
Had he been permitted to
run he felt confident he could
have covered the distance in
2 hours and 20 minutes, Nurmi
said.
Juan Carlos Zabala, of Argen-

Scottsboro Defense
Prepares For Appeal

NEW YORK.-(CNA)-Prepara-
tions are being rushed by the Inter
national Labor Defense for an appeal
to the United States Supreme Court
in the case of the eight Scottsboro
boys, in the event that the Alabama
Supreme Court refuses new trial.
The organizations working for the
freedom of the Scottsboro boys are
preparing to continue their vigorous
fight no matter what the decision of
the Alabama Court. If the deci-
sion of the Scottsboro Court is re-
versed and new trial is granted, a
change of venue to Birmingham will
be demanded.
If the court refuses to grant re-
hearing, an appeal to the Supreme
Court will be made, based chiefly on
the following contentious: that Ne
groes were excluded from the jury
in county where they form half the
population; that the court had no
| jurisdiction in the case of Eugene
Williams, ID; that the trial took
place in an atmosphere of lyneh-law
hysteria which made the death SEN

To Rebel Vets

RICHMOND, Va. - Recommends
lions for budget expenditures for the
two years, 193O-32 for the State of
Virginia, presented last week by Gov
ernor Pollard to the Virginia State
legislature revealed striking inequ1-
ties between the sums proposed for
higher education among the white
citizens of the state and the sums
to be used for the same purpose
among colored citizens. Although
the Negro population of the state is
27.2 per cent of the total, only one
item, $172,810 for Virginia State
College was recommended by the
Governor, while for the nine white
institutions the total budgetary ex-
penditure proposed amounted to 49,,
235,636 or more than Is times the
amount set aside in the budget for
Negro higher education. A cores
ponding dissimilarity in recommend
ed capital OUTLAWS for Negro and
white institutions appeared in the
budget.
On the other hand Negro taxpay-
eIs of the state were called upon
by the budget to contribute to the
various sums to be expended by the
state for veterans of the way of the
rebellion. An item of $1.959,352
was recommended by the Governor
for pensions for confederate soldiers
and an item of S161,SS0 for the Rob
ert Z. Lee Soldiers Home, an insti
tuition for confederates.
