Despite the gag" rule in the
Treasury Department, news leaked
out today that employees in the
department are planning an open
revolt against working overtime
without pay.
Better working conditions for
a score or more employees now
using stuffy, jammed corridors
as offices also will be demanded.
Since March many of the
Treasury Department employees
have been working every night
until and 7 o'clock and many
nights until after 10 o'clock, it
was stated today.
Work so Hours a Week
In some cases $2O-a-week clerks
have been working as much as
go hours a week, which would
bring their pay down to a rate
of less than 35 cents an hour, an
employe said. He stated further:

policy does not stop am sure
some of the employees will crack

MORGENTHAU BLAMELESS
According to an employe of the
Organization division, Secretary Of
the Treasury Henry Morgenthau,
jr., is not cognizant of the amount
of time the employees are working.
He said:
eve employees are inarticu-
late because we are afraid Of
our jobs. The chiefs of the
various divisions are trying to
make a good impression with
their new boss. Consequently
they attempt to manifest all
the activity possible regardless
of the fact that employees must
work overtime.

stated at the Treasury today. In

the chief Of the division would be
taken and the emplOye would be
dismissed, an employe said.

Warner Brothers mightiest of musical hits, Danes" continues to draw record audiences at Warmers State theater where the picture has been held over until Friday night. Featured in the large and brilliant cast are Dick Powell, Joan Blon- dell and Ruby Keeler. In addition there are 300 of Hollywood's most beautiful girls. Busby Berkeley di- rected the ensemble.
 Many catchy airs are sung, the music and lyrics for which were written by three teams of the best known son gwriters in the coun- try, Warren and Dublin, Fain and KahaI and Dixion and Wrubel.
 Joan Blondell heads the all-star cast in the role of a chorus girl who eventually weds the million aire morality censor, after compre- missing his fat cousin who is in deadly fear he will be found out and cut off the will. Hugh Herbert, the screens drollest comedian, has the role of the millionaire and Guy Kibbee is the cousin, with ZaSu Pitts playing the part of his straight-laced wife.
 The romantic interest is furnish ed by Dick Powell and Ruby Keel CT, this popular pair of screen low CTS again being paired.

in many difficult and even hazard ous situations. She began, unex- citingly enough, to take nature pictures while she was at Cornell University-in fact earned a good part of her tuition, so popular did her campus studies become among her fellow students. But once she was out of college and had opened small office of her own in Cleve- land, Ohio, adventures came thick and fast. From photographing houses and gardens she went on to factories and coal mines.
 Taking her first steel mill pie lures, she worked unuer sucn ler- rife heat that the varnish on her camera blistered and the miners watching her ride aloft in a huge crane, with waves of heat rising all about her, swore softly under their breath fearing she would faint dead away.

 Even Humans Affected
 GAS we flew over the houses, I felt as if I were looking upon un- inhabited country. The farms seem deserted. The machinery stands idle in the barnyard-expensiv machinery that represents the in- vestment of hundreds and thou sands of dollars-all that farmers have earned in a lifetime.
 There is no sign of life about either the houses or barns. When man or woman comes to the door for moment, you see in the hu- mans the same ilstless apathy that you notice in the starving animals. Yet when you talk to them, some reveal the blind faith in the future that is so chara acteristic of Ameri- cans generally. Others show that they have been doing some think ing. The last is especially true of the young farm men and women.
 "In the Dakotas I came upon a Farm School on Wheels, a group of young people who are going about holding meetings in the open air for farm boys and girls in an effort to educate them to meet the problems that have grown so serious.

PALACE

To-day at Polfs stars another double feature program, and by the way the only new show in town.
 Two superb features are the at traction the first being Franchot Tone, May Robson and Nat Pen dlcton in "Str aight Is the Way" and sharing honors will be Ricardo Cortez in a mystery thriller Hat Coat & Glove"
 Straight Is the Way" is the tale of a youngster who tries in every conceivable manner to break with .he associations that have en- tangled him, it is chock-full of TO- nance action and drama and the cast that has been selected for the leading roles are cast in parts that fit them like a glove so letter perfect production is the result.
 "Hat Coat & Glove" will prove to be one of the most interesting and mysterious thrillers you have seen in some time and with the addition of Ricardo Cortez, who is practically a local boy on account of his recent marriage to Miss Lee of Danbury does the greatest role of his varied career.
 In addition to the two features there will also be a 'Popeye' car toon and this funny fellow with then enormous strength in his arms will show you new ways of getting the results that you desire especially if you are of belligerent nature, with the addition of many laughs while he is doing it.
 As special attraction for the opening of the new Fall Season at Poli's starting Saturday a week of the greatest pictures possible have been booked for four days starting Saturday there will be a special holiday attraction Joan Crawford and Clark Gable in Chained" and the sweethearts of Dancing Lady, will make you love them more and more, it seems as though these great artists were su- herb in their own pictures, but when they are co-starred they rise 10 inspired heights, and Chained" will see them at their best.

 These exclusive pictures were

 following article, you learn the
 personal reactions of this young
 and famous camera -adyenturer
 to the grim spectacle of land
 baked-dry that was unfolded
 before her. By MARY MARGARET MCBRIDE NEA Service Staff Correspondent.
 New York, Aug 27.-The most heartbreaking job from human point of view that ever fell to her lot and yet one of the most thrill ing pictorially she has done at all is the way Margaret Bourke-White, Americas most famous woman photographer, characterizes her re- cent assignment from Fortune Magazine to photograph the havoc that the drought has brought to the Middle West.
 Miss Bourke-White, who has just come back. chartered a plane in Omaha, Neb, and covered seven states by air. Her pilot flew low over the burned and deso,ate land and whenever Miss Bourke- White saw anything she wished to photo- graph, he would make landing in some barren pasture.
 In the take-off after one such descent, the propeller struck a partly buried plowshare in the meadow and the plane cracked up.

1 where American woman had never been before.
 Taking pictures of skyscrapers in the course of construction, she has balanced herself upon steel girders 1000 feet above the earth. She has ascended steep, well-nigh impossible mountain peaks on foot when one misstep would have been fatal. She has descended to the depths of coal and metal mines and has had her life endangered by cave-ins.
 She has been known again and again to stand or sit all night on a dizzy summit in a place not big enough to turn around in, just waiting to get the proper light on the subject she wants to photo graph. She did just that not long ago when she was taking pictures for the photo-mural in Rockefeller Center that tells the mechanical background of radio.
 The list of her adventures since she came to New York from Cleve- land four years ago to open an of- flee would fill a volume. But never in all her adventures, she declares, has she been so emotion ally stirred as during her trip through the drought region.

 | Seemed Like Nightmare | "The whole trip except for the excitement of the job itself was like some kind of dreadful night mare that you felt you ought tC wake up from any minute," Miss Bourke-White told me.
 You could hardly believe that the season was late summer fol the country looked as it usually does only in early spring. There were the furrows that had beer made for seeds and you knew tho seeds had been planted but as often as not, nothing at all ha6 come up. Or if a tiny, strinsy plant had struggled to the surface it had withered before it was more than above ground.
 Farmers used to hate the Prus- sian thistle, you know. Now 1t is all many of them have to feed their cattle and they are actually harvesting this old enemy of theirs and packing it away for the stock to eat in winter. The corn is scared and lifeless-often even for fodder. It grew only two or three inches from the ground-not worth cutting.
 we passed over stream-bed d after stream bed that had dried up utterly in the broiling sun. Some times there would be tiny trickle of water left from what was once wide brimming river, and the cattle would be clustered about trying to get a little refreshment. Often, too, they stood listlessly in the beds from which all water had

 Wolcott. August 29-The Young Mems Republican club of Wolcott swept last nights g. O. p. caucus and. gained control of the organt- zation, ejecting from office several of the old-timers who have held office for many, many years. As a result, today there exists a town committee with many new names and a slate of delegates to the state, congressional, senatorial, county, probate and town conven- tions made up of a majority or the younger element of the town. The caucus, was one of the long est in the history of Wolcott, open ing at 8 o'clock and last evening and closing. at one o'clock this morning. The session, lively one from start to finish, took place in the Town Hall. The older mem bers of the republican organiza- ton sensed disaster as Carl C.. Mattson, president of the newly organized Young Mems Republican club, took the moderator's chair after defeating Edward H. Pracny by a two to one vote.
 Record Vote Cast.
 The largest turnout of votes in towns history was recorded. On the first ballot there were 240 votes cast All voting was done by written ballot and the check list system was used. This served to slow up the proceedings but was one of the trump cards" of the young element who sought to and succeeded in preventing rushing through of the ticket. Merlin Avery was clerk of the caucus and the checkers and counters inluded Philip Dunaime, William Klitka, Frank Lockhart, and Joseph Kelly. Harold Logan, Elby Boulanger, Paul McMellon and Calude V.
