PAVING HEARING
SET FOR MAY 10

Speeding the proposed improve

held this week with a top age
limit of As years. There is no
pension system yet established for
such employees.
The firemen's concern about age
limits has its foundation in the I'M
balanced condition OF the fund
which for more than year has
been slipping into the red at the
rate of about $1,000 a month.
1t was indicated a new classifi-
cation might be set up. for fire

group with a lower maximum age.
Powell and Safety Commissioner
Eastwood indicated the present
eligible list for this classified ton
is very old and virtually obsolete.

SAN FRANCISCO-M a C X a y
radiomen and ships officers aboard
the liner President Coolidge were
convinced today that Adventure
Writer Richard Halliburton and
his crew of IA had drowned some
where in the mid-Pacific.
A month ago yesterday. the
Coolidge, then en- route to Hong
Kong, picked up the last radio
message from the 75-foot Chinese
junk Sea Dragon, in which Halli-
burton and his crew were attempt
ing a trans-Pacific voyage to the
San Francisco worlds fair.
The officers said the message

said its lee rail was awash. This
was taken to mean the craft was
virtually swamped.

also revealed their last word from
Halliburton and his crew was:
Everyone soaked down, eating
bareback.
In this condition the junk was
heading into typhoon weather de-
scribed as the most violent in

TERROR NOTED
IN ALL REICH

WASHINGTON - Former Gov.
Phil La Toilette of Wisconsin said
terror was SO widespread in Ger
many that many German mothers,
other than Jews and Catholics,
might like to include their children
in any child refugee program.
He told a senate immigration
committee that his tour of Ger
many earlier this year convinced
him that at least rs per cent of
the German people opposed the
Hitler regime.
The German situation is not a
strict minority problem for Jews
and Catholics La Toilette said.
Many ordinary German families,
not Jew or Catholic, would not
hesitate to send their children
away to be reared in a foreign
land. Anti-Jewish pogroms of last
November have left lasting and
terrifying shock on the people.
They were especially Mortified be-
cause the government used youth
in carrying out those acts of bru-
tally"

for retirement raised new ques-
ton Monday when the fireman's
relief and pension fund board met.
Beattie was granted his retirement
effective May /. but the board
members want the maximum age
limit for civil service eligibles made
lower.
Battalion Chief Earl w. Powell
stated the boards position. urging
that the council members do some-
thing TO require lower maximum

BEHIND The
TICKER

NEW Y0Rk-The National As
ISOLATION Of Manufacturers made
a survey Of thousands Of investors
asking If they had idle funds and
why they weren't investing. OF
the replies, more than rs per cent
said they had available money.
Reasons given for not investing
were: 500 said government takes
too much In profits taxes: 738s
feared possibility of new taxes on
industry; 77es cited legislation
restricting industry; and. 800
blamed government for taking too
much In corporation taxes.
In sum, the survey shows a lack
Of confidence.
Since the govrnment White
House and congress-are current
ly engrossed with foreign affairs,
the feeling is general that bust
ness will not receive any consid-
Grafton this year. Washington re-
ports are that there's little likeli-
hood of general revision of cor
porate taxes or the profits-gains
tax.
Packers-With the exception of
1886, the meat supply in storage
as OF April ] was the smallest on
record. The total was 627 900, 900
pounds, six per cent decrease
from a year ago and 80 per cent
smaller than the 1929-1933 five
year average. II means that meat |
packers have moved out of their

Beginning of the week brought
no changes on potatoes, either
new or old. The old crop may hold
to its high price for another cou-

because the supply has been re-

PAY OVERTIME
PR0MP TLY, RULE
WASHINGTON =

WASHINGTON - Wage Hour
Administrator Elmer r. Andrews
said overtime In excess Of A hours
per week must be paid for in cash
at the time an employe normally
receives his regular pay check.
He issued a formal statement re-
versing an Interpretation he made
at press conference Tuesday. At
that time he said overtime could
DC cvInP-nscecd for TN cash at one
and one-half the regular rate of
pay or time and one-half off.
The formal statement follows:
THE act requires that the en-
ploye receive compensation for
overtime at one and one-half times
his regular rate of pay. This means
money, not time. We have ex-
pressed the opinion that payment
of overtime compensation must be
made within reasonable time
after 1t has been earned. Such
reasonable time will normally CO.
incide with the pay period. and. in
our opinion, the circumstances
would be most unusual when this
was not the case. This interpre-
tation accords with the practical
necessities of administration.
ANY other practice would per-
NIT the deferment of payments for
overtime TO such an extent that
the plain purpose of the act would
be defeated. Under an amendment
TO the Fair Labor Standards act
now being considered by the house
labor committee, the administrator
would be given authority to APP
prove constant wage plans by
which the deferment of payment
of overtime would be authorized,
and could be safeguarded and reg
ulated. But. until congress grants
that authority. an employer would
not be justified in failing to pay
for overtime at the time when the
employe customarily receives his
compensation"
