The State theatre announced to-
day a rather novel advertisement
for the picture. "Hells House"

In "HelTs House" Miss Davis
plays opposite Pat O'Br;en in the
role of a small time bootlegger
who loses sight of all ideals and
morals until he is impressed by
the implicit faith placed in him by
a small friend. He awakens in the
end to arrive at a patriotic UNDER
standing Of ideals, morals and So
cial laws by which we live.

base his overtime pay rate upon
the lower figure.
Under the new ruling, the en-
ploycr may still reduce the rate
although Andrews has urged them
not TO do it-but would be COM
PEELED to continue paying over
time on the 30-cent basis. This
would mean that instead of re-
ceiving 81 l-2 cents for each hour
of overtime, the worker would be
paid at the old rate and receive
40 cents an hour for time in cX-
cess of the 44-hou limit.
Therefore, although the employ
er reduced the hourly rate and
increased hours to the limit per-
mitted by law and yet preserved
the weekly wage rate in effect
prior to October "a, the worker
would receive greater benefits as
results of the higher overtime
scale.
Andrews promulgated the ruling
shortly after issuing statement
in which he bitterly assailed a
small "anti-social" minority Of
employers whom he accused Of
seeking to sabotage the act by
threatening to close their plants
when the law becomes effective.
Andrews pointed to the section
of the act which said that the %
cent. an hour floor under wages
and the 44-hour ceiling over hours
could not Justify an employer to
reduce wages paid in excess Of the
established minimum nor justify
increasing Of hours which now are
less than the acts standards.
He said it was clearly the intent
of congress to penalizc overtime
work and that the act itself made
it plain that it is the employees
regular rate Of pay on which over
time is based and not on any mini
mum wage set under the law.
Meantime Katherine +. Lenroot,
chief of the labor departments
children's bureau, estimated that
about $4,000 children under l6
years would be affected by the
child labor provisions of the act.
She pointed out also that the pro-
visions are virtually the same as
those invalidated by the supreme
court in a > to 1 decision 20 years
ago, and that the tribunal would
have to reverse its previous stand
to hold the new law constitutional.
Miss Lenroot issued a regula-
ton defining what work shall be
deemed Oppressive" child labor
for minors between the ages of IA
and l6. Under her ruling, chill

RUMRICH LINKING

posterous plots to steal aircraft
carrier plans by forging President
. Roosevelt's signature and to OBJ
: tain coast defense plans by kid
naping an army colonel, testified
that he entered the espionage ser
vice not TO help Germany but to
obtain information about spies in
the United States. g.
He said he hoped this would
help him obtain reinstatement in
the U. S. Army, from which he
deserted when investigation of his
accounts as mess sergeant sta
toned at, Missoula, Mont, was
about to show shortage.
1t was learned that the defense
is prepared to argue that Rumrich
lied about his espionage expert
, ences in order to get back into the
army. ..-,
Rumrich said he had the vague
impression that he could "catch
German spies and turn them over
to the army" with the double OBJ
jective of getting money from
Germany and obtaining reinstate-
ment.
Benjamin Matthews, counsel for
Chaser, raked Rumrich with a
cross-fre of questions about lies
he had admitted making to his
German employers in the prepare
ton of his reports. He stung the
phlegmatic witness out of his nor
NAL calm with an attempt to prove
that he had lied in his personal re-
lations. with Chaser, Rumrich's
''buddy" in the army.
. Rumrich denied holly that he
had borrowed money from Chaser
on the false pretense that it was
for friend who later committed
suicide after losing the money
gambling.
Without disclosing the reason,
Matthews pressed Rumrich about
$500 he admitted borrowing when
his wife was to have their second
child. He asked the. witness to
write the name of the lender on a
piece of paper. and requested
Judge John C. Knox to indicate
the person in the record as
"Friend No. l." Judge Knox fol-
lowed a government suggestion
that the, lender be designated as
"Mr. =" ....-r .,.
Next government witness is ex-
pected to be Leon G. Turrou, for
mer federal agent who directed
the spy inquiry.

CAMEL SURPRISES
MOTOR POWER FOR
E. AFRICAN TRAVEL
By JOSEPH D. RAVoTTo
United Press Staff Correspondent

DIV ENH ~
United Press Staff Correspondent
ROME, Oct. 90. - (UP)-Al-
though automobile transportation
is yearly becoming more popular
in Italy at the expense of horse
drawn vehicles, camel caravans
are daily gaining ground over mo-
torized transport in Italian East
Africa.
The competition between auto
trucks and camels is keen but the
slower numbering, humpbacked
ouadruped is preferred because it
can better support the rigors OF
the severe, variable weather OF
the area.
Once Italy completes the huge
network of roads throughout the
empire there may be a different
story to tell. In any event, cam
els always will be needed Tor
travel into the little known re-
gions where roads Will never
reach. 80
During the rainy season-when
auto travelling is almost lmpossi-
.ble-a continuous stream OF cara,
vans continued to arrive daily at
the native market of Tecle HAL
| manot in Adds Ababa. ,
These caravans have turned
from the old paths to follow the
new main roads which connect the
capital with the smaller centers
The camels find the going easier
over the tarred, stone-paved and
asphalted roads than over the
! former trackless stretches of ter
ritory. This, combined with the
fact that brigandage has been
greatly reduced, accounts for the
increase of camel transportation
during the rainy months.
According to statistics released
bv colonial authorities, the per.
| centage of goods entering anc
leaving Adds Ababa by came
during July was far higher'than II
Nav. This is all the more slgni
ficant because May was a dry
month while July marked the be
ginning of the rainy season.
