HOLIDAY " 0 RK
Decision Answers Query
Of War Secretary

Per diem, per hour and piece
work Government employees are
not entitled to additional gratu-
ity pay for holidays on which they
do not work, R. N. Elliott, Acting
Comptroller, ruled today.
Such workers, Elliott added, are
entitled only to their regular pay
and then only in the event they
are relieved or prevented from
working solely because of the oc-
currence of the holiday.
CLARIFIES RULE
Where the holiday occurs on the
non-work day of a five-day week,
or within a period of furlough or
leave of absence, Elliott said, the
workers are not entitled to pay
for the holiday.
Neither are they entitled to ad.
ditional holiday gratuity pay, he
said, if they are required to work
on holiday whether the holiday
occurs within or without their
regular tour of duty.
Where the holiday occurs with
out the regular tour of duty, how
ever, and where 40 hours of work
already has been performed dur
ing the week, Elliott explained,
the workers are entitled to over
time at the rate of 11a times their
regular pay.
OPINION SOUGHT
Elliott'5 decision followed q re-
quest by the Secretary of War re-
garding payment of employees Of
the Army Engineer Department
for holiday work.
Citing an act of January 6, 1885,
the Secretary of War had told
Elliott l. was understood that
where emergency required per
diem employees to work on holi-
days, they should receive an addi-
tional days pay as gratuity for
such work, or two days pay for
the holiday.

U. 5. TO PROBE
NAZ|S' ARREST
OF DR.. La Vine
News Kept From
Til Mother

physician widely-known in the
Capital, was under arrest by the
Nazi government in Vienna while
word of his plight was being kept
from his mother, Mrs. Sarah La
Vine, who is seriously i'll and sche.
duled to undergo an operation
today.
DR.. La Vine, who became widely
known as autopsy surgeon in the
mysterious Corrina Loring murder
case about three years ago, was
arrested secretly by the Nazis more
than a week ago.
Appeal to U. S.
The doctor, who has offices at
S62S Thirty. y.fourth St., Mt. Rainier,
but who has been doing post
graduate medical work in the
former Austrian capital, and
another American doctor. DR..
George Albert, are held while the
public prosecutor investigates
charges that the two physicians
violated the German foreign cur
Eency laws.
Two brothers, DR.. Leonard La
Vine, Maryland dentist, and
Isadore La Vine, have appealed to
the State Department to investi-
gate the arrest of the physician
and attempt to secure his freedom.
A graduate Of George Washing
ton University Medical School. DR..
La Vine, who is 80 years old, has
been practicing here several years.
Last December he went abroad
TO study advanced medicine and
surgery in Vienna.
Probe Expected
DR.. Albert also was carrying on
post graduate studies, according
to information received here.
Exact nature Of the charges
against the two physicians has
not been made public, but it is
expected the State Department
will demand a full probe Of their
arrest.
When the gavotted body Of
Miss Loring, pretty Washington
stenographer, was found ON lonely
"Saddleback Ridge" a few blocks
from her home in Mt. Rainier In
November, 1885, DR.. La Vine was
summoned by county police to per-
form the autopsy.
Woman Theory
He pronounced death due to
strangulation, and advanced the
theory that a woman might have
been involved in the killing, as
there were teeth marks on her
hands and arms.
DR.. La Vine worked with police
for weeks along technical lines in
the investigation of the murder.
Miss Loring was killed on the
eve of her marriage to Richard
Tear, attendant at st. ElHabeths
Hospital, and while police are still
working on the case, the killer has
never been taken into custody.
