Officials Say.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
The new wage-hour law limits the
work week to A hours, unless over
time is paid, but the 6O-odd Govern
ment employees who are administering
the statute have averaged close to SO
hours the last two without
extra pay or time off.
The reasons?
Officials said they were:
l. The law exempts employees of the
Federal, State and local governments
2. Uncle Sam always considers the
period when new agency is being
established as an emergency time when
long hours not only are tolerated but
necessary.
3. The wage-hour employees have
stayed on the job voluntarily. No
official has requested them to work
overtime.

However, the hostile press cam

national relations" ended abrupt.
", obviously on orders from above
German editors and publishers
It was learned, have been in
structed to lean backward to pre-
serve friendly relations and pre-
vent further friction. The orders
were issued after the Hamburger
Fremdenblatt hit q high-water
mark in acroSs.the-ocean vilifica'
ton by terming America an inter
national "diSturber."
The entire subject of German
American relations has been the
subject Of intensive study by Hit
Ter and his aides in recent weeks.
Starting with virulent editorials
when Mayor LaGuardia, of New
York, spoke Of opening a Nazi
chamber of horrors" at the New
York World Fair months ago,
the campaign III the German press
has gained momentum steadily.
LaGuardia was long the target
of the onslaught, but when United
States Secretary of War Henry NJ.
Woodring made his controversial
speech warning that American pa
tience would stand Old World ag-
greSSion just so long, the Nazi edi-
torial guns were trained on Wash
ington.
AS q result, the situation was
fast reaching a point where
strained diplomatic relations were
coming to be regarded as in
evitable. Consequently, the Nazi
high command issued its order to
the press to cease fire.
HOPE HELD OUT
It is felt, however, that all pres
ent circumstances are still con-
tributing to unsatisfactory Ger
man.American relations, and Ber.
lin frankly feels the proper place
for initiative regarding a definite
settlement is in Washington.
Well-informed observers held
out some hope that Germany's re-
ply to the American protest over
the decree requiring registration
Of Jewish property may pave the
way for q new understanding.

NeW Crisis
On Spain
Looms

News Service.)
| LONDON. May ia new
crisis, which again may threaten
the peace Of Europe, is develop
ing over the Spanish civil war.
according to indications in Lon
don today.
The British government, it was
learned, fears Italy and Germany
are planning to increase their as
Sistance to the Spanish insurgents
or grounds that France is per-
mitting large-scale shipments of
supplies to the Spanish govern
ment to cross the Franco-Spanish
frontier.
PHOTOS AS EVIDENCE
Italy, International News Serv-
ice learned, has informed Britain
that she possesses documentary
ard Photographic evidence that a
constant stream of supplies is
moving across the French frontier
to Barcelona.
These materials are said to in
clude a large number of planes
flown from Soviet Russia with a
refuelling halt in one of the
central European countrieS-pre-
sLmably Czechoslovakia.
AS a result of this notification,
the British government instructed
its ambassador to Rome, Lord
Perth, to express to Italian For
eign Minister Count Gaeazzo
Ciano hope that Italy will not ex-
tend her intervention in the Span
ish conflict.
BRITISH FACE DILEMMA
Meanwhile, the British are
faced with a serious dilemma over
the situation. They want 1nsurg-
ent Generalissimo rancisc o
Franco to win quickly so that the
recently concluded Anglo o-Italian
friendship pact can become ef-
fective.
On the other hand, Prime Min
lister Neville Chamberlain's gov
eminent is unwilling to break
with France on the Spanish issue.
This is especially true since
London feels, privately, that the
Italians and Germans are trying
to drive a wedge between Britain
and France in the hope of weak
ening the recent Anglo-French
military alliance.
PRESSED BY DUCE
Premier MuSSolini is urging the
British to bring pressure upon
Paris to tighten control of the
FrancoSpanish frontier so that
the insurgents will win quickly.
II Duce is doing this under the
threat that he will not much
longer tolerate Soviet assistance
to the Spanish government.
The French, on the other hand,
both for sentimental and prac-
tical reasons, are unwilling to let
the insurgents starve out BARGE
Iona, especially as long as the
Germans continue to develop
Spanish air bases near the French
frontier, and generally consolidate
their position around Spain by
other military means.
WITHDRAWALS BALKED
The French have charged that
1000 German agents are now in
Spanish inSurgent territory. The
British government is vainly try.
ing to get its scheme for with
drawal Of foreign volunteers from
Spain moving, but Italy has re-.
fused to complete withdrawal OF
its forces until Franco wins.
Meanwhile, the French are un.
willing to establish tight control
over their border on such a basis.

STIRS HER HEART
As Ellen listened to his further
description of the type Of person
he wanted, and what the life
would be, something deep and ex-
cited stirred in that region about
her heart that had been dead so
long.
1t kept on stirring all that night,
after she had gone to bed to lie
staring into the darkness.
She could do that job! How
much more worthwhile it would
be to put her efficiency to that
sort of thing instead Of running
charity benefits and maintaining
an oasis!
In the warm glow Of the after
noon sunlight the next day, she
laughed at her midnight fancies
as She set the tea table. But it
was a wistful, haunted sort OF
laugh: not the spontaneous
amused laugh she'd had when
John Crane had announced that
he was coming to see her.
Like old friends. they started IN

thoughts rushing to the surface.

they were before the fire. that
Ellen heard herself make the sug-
gestion that she had vowed she
never would make.

"You!" His amazement un-
steadied her. All she could do
was to nod.

charm and completeness Of the

She hung up, and met John

Stamp Collecting Is Boosted
By Big Business Methods

obtaining cancellations of new
stamps on the first day of issu-
ance. They first began to be COL
lected with the regular postage
issue of 1922-3.)
Other factors in the growing popu-
larity of stamp collecting. Mr.. Fellers
said, are recent legislation authorizing
use of illustrated catalogues, sale OF
official SOUVENIR stamps, collectors
conventions and release of plate num-
bers to stamp collecting organizations.
Postal officials hope to initiate stamp
sales this fall by sending a gayly
painted motor truck. carrying a COM
plete assortment of United States
stamps, on coast-to-coast tour to
visit schools and stamp clubs.
A hitch has developed, however,
because the collection is valued at
81 00,000-much too valuable a cargo
to send out unprotected. A convoy
would cost too much, but officials ex-
pect to find solution to the problem
soon.
