declined to amplify this disclosure
other than to say they were seeking
accurate information on reports of
wholesale layoffs because of opera
ton of the law.
(4) Warning has been issued that
keeping of records for the Wage
and Hour Division-which may be
done in any manner desired by the
employer as long as essential In
formation is available-has no effect
on employer obligations to maintain
records for the Social Security Ad-
ministration.
In the ruling on the newspaper
industry, Mr.. Andrews wrote as fol-
lows:
by letter OF october %, you re-
quest ruling as to the status of
newspapers under Section l3 (a) t2)
OF the act. AS your letter points
out, Section 13 (a) co of the act
provides that the provisions of Sec
tions and 7 shall not apply with
respect to any employe engaged in
any retail or service establishment
the greater part of whose selling or
servicing is in intrastate commerce.
1T is the opinion Of the General
Counsels Once that newspapers are
not service establishments within
the meaning of Section 13 ca ca.
you will note that Section 13
(a) I'd provides an exemption for
any employe employed In connec-
ton with the publication of any
weekly or semi weekly newspaper
with a circulation of less than three
thousand the major part of which
circulation is within the county
where printed and published If
Congress- had intended to exempt
newspapers as service establish
ments, 1t would not have exempted
particular class of newspapers.
THE problem of overtime COM
pensation you have mentioned, in
cluding the employment of report
ers on continuous assignments is
being carefully studied"
Hearing Seen Required.
Discussing the letter briefly at
his press conference, Mr.. Andrews
added:
1T just means that we believe
newspapers are in interstate COM
merce."
The problem Of whether or not
editorial workers are professionals,
he said, probably would require a
formal hearing of interested parties.
Today's ruling, he added, is not
to be taken as indication OF what
is to be ruled in the case Of the
banking industry, which also has
asked Qualification of its status
under the same section Of the law.
A comparable issue also has arisen
regarding railroad porters, with the
question of tips and wages being
under dispute. Admitting the por-
ters to be in interstate commerce,
it is understood some of the rail-
roads have asked regular account
ing of tips, presumably to include
them as wages in meeting the wage
requirements of the law.

there was assurance that Great
Britain and Russia would come to
the aid of France if she were at
tackled without provocation.
No wonder the governments of
Europe were desperately worried
by such a critical condition.
Hitler must have realized that the
time was not ripe for aggressive ac-
ton against the Czechs, for German
authorities in Berlin solemnly as
sured DR.. Voitech Mastny, Czech
minister to Berlin, and the Czech
military attache that Germany
planned no military expedition
against Czechoslovakia. This eased
the situation somewhat, but the
British cabinet continued to urge
Benes and his government to make
all possible concessions to Hitler
concerning the demands of the Su-
deten German minority. It was be-
ieved the Fuehrer would ultimate
ly get about everything he wants
from the Czechs without a fight.
DR.. Milan Hodza, premier Of
SLCSIlOS1OV dhld, dllu AOll1 do I1Cll-
lein, leader of the Sudeten German
party, were brought together in
peace talks in Prague. Henlein was
reported to have said he didn't be-
ieve much progress in that line
could be made until the government
had recalled the reservists who had
been modified.
The Czechs informed the French
and British governments they are
willing to become a central Euro
pean Switzerland in which all races
of the polyglot republic will have
equal rights. However, they insist
on further guarantees against Ger
man aggression to compensate for
weakening their defense.
In Paris it was reported that the
French government asked that the
United States associate itself with
France and Britain in their efforts
to keep Hitler from attacking Czech
oslovakia, and that Washington's
reply, through Ambassador Bullitt,
was refusal to mix in the row.
This was denied by Mr.. Bullitt.

MORGAN CHARGES Deceit

DR. ARTHUR E. MORGAN, GUST
II ed chief of iva, was the first
witness heard by the congressional
committee inquiring into the affairs
of the authority. In Straightforward
fashion he told his side of the story,
charging his fellow directors with
dishonest management. He ex-
planned he did not mean David Lii
ienthal and Harcourt Morgan took
brides or stole money, but that they
deceived the President, congress,
and the public; that they covered
up important facts tending to throw
doubt on the advisability of the gov
ernment's huge social experiment;
reported false electric power yard
stick, and were subservient to politi-
cal and other special interests.
He accused Lilienthal fatty of de-
ceit in leading the public to be-
ieve that the financial accounts of
the communities buying power from
the IVA include all the costs of the
service they render to the public.
DR.. Morgan discussed in great de-
tail the celebrated Berry marble
case" involving Sen. George L. Ber-
ny, Tennessee Democrat.

Maxim silencers were successful

er made for pistols or revolvers, as
it was contrary to the company's
policy. They could be used for
single shot pistols, but not with re-
volvers, because the report escaped
at the junction of the cylinder and
barrel. The sound of the explosion
was reduced to sort of puff or
hiss. Silencers are no longer man.

Italy Warns France

ITALY intimated it would keep out
of the Nazi-Czech quarrel, but
Mussolini broke off the friendship
talks with France and warned that
continued French acquiescence in
the shipment of arms to govern
ment Spain would not be tolerated.
The Duce declared that unless
France ceases aiding transmission
of Soviet and Czech arms to BARGE
Iona, Italy and Germany may be
forced to increase their assistance
to the insurgents. This naturally
would endanger the new Anglo-Ital-
ian agreement.
