Declaring workers in the publish

tempt to redefine executive and ad-

with the United Office and Profess
sional Workers of America, at a

charged that the proposed redefini-
tions were move by employers to
secure "by extra legislative methods
free overtime work by their en-
ployes.'
Salary earned, Miss Benedict said,
provides no accurate basis for estab-
fishing definition under the wage
and hour law for an executive, or
an administrative employe.
1T was clearly the intention of
Congress to discourage overtime

white collar workers have too long

beginning made by the wage and

We intend to combat any attempts
at retrogreSsion.

went there in two busloads and II
, Duce was ready for us a few min
utes after am.
Cavalry troopers were warming up
two horses before the Greek COL
umned portico of the century-old
villa when we walked up the grav-
eled drive. Then we were conducted
to great circular riding lot like a
vast circus ring. with brush fence
and timber hurdles in the center.
The Is German correspondents
were stationed in first position at
the fence around the ring: then the
nine Americans; finally, those from
other countries. Only one request
was made of us: That we refrain
from smoking in front of Musso-
lini.
II Duce rode into the lot on Tiene,
his Hanover-bred mare. Without
effort he began putting her over the
jumps. Troopers thundered after
him.

He wore a white military cap. un-

and riding boots. A white belt en-
circled his waist.
His riding master Console Ridolfi,
stood by, astride another horse.
Ridolfi also fences with II Duce.
Mussolini took dozen jumps in
the 10 minutes of going. Once he

Another time, when two photogra-
piers approached dangerously near
a hedee which he was about to take,
he waved them away with shouts:
Via! Vial" cAway. away.
Aften 10 minutes II Duce rode up
TO the German correspondents and
asked his question in their Ian
suage: Bin ich krank? Schwach?
Muede?"
Then he took couple of parting
hurdles, patted his horse on the
neck, saluted the newspapermen
with uplifted arm and thundered
back to his house.
We had breakfast there Since
no coffee is available to the public
in these times in Italy, there was
none at Mussolini's board. There
was, however, orange juice, hot
chocolate, iced tea, whisky and gin.

other claSsifications were submitted
by Alexander Maxwell of New York
in behalf Of the Edison Electric
Institute, representing about two
thirds of the private electrical util-
ity industry in the United States.
He suggested classification of ex-
ecutive and administrative to in
clude persons receiving salaries of
$50 week or more. The proposed
redefinitions, Mr.. Maxwell said,
would affect comparatively few en-
ployes. but would make the inter-
probation and application of the act
more definite and practicable, and
at the same time preserve the spirit
OF the law, as we interpret the de-
sires OF those who enacted it,"
Describing the petroleum indus
try as 'perplexed and beWildered'
as result of the uncertainties of
the wage and hour law, Carl V
Mapes of Tulsa, representing the
Mid-Continent Oil and Gas Asso-
ctation, strongly urged clarifica-
ton Of the definitions which deter
mine exemptions from the act.
Asks Doubt Be Removed.
Appearing for the Otter Tail
Power Co., Cyrus A. Field of Fergus
Falls, MINI, asked that the claSsi-
fications of executive and admins
trative be so defined as to remove
doubt and confusion and that the
law be SO administered as to apply
to business as business actually op-
crates today.
John V. Lawrence of Washington
general manager of the American
Trucking Association, also sup
ported pending proposals for a re-
definition OF executive, professional
and administrative employees. The
problem of the Wage and Hour Di-
vision" he said. 'is to find some
formula for the determination OF
exempt employees which is fair no,
only to these employees. but to the
companies involved, both large and
small"
Through L. S. Harris of Washing
ton the Automobile Contract Car
riers' Association presented a briei
setting forth its views on the pro-
posed redefinitions.
The hearings will continue tomor-
row. Among the organizations
scheduled for an appearance are
the American Newspaper Guild. the
American Federation of Radio Art

Suffrage Association
Will Insist on Full
Rights Of Ballot

The Washingtonians, civic
group headed by Miss Eta l.. Tag
gart, yesterday urged passage of the
Summers resolution to give the Dis
trict national representation.
A letter from Miss Taggart to
Chairman Summers of the House
Judiciary Committee called on COM
mittee members to support the
measure at its meeting Tuesday.
The District Suffrage Association
also announced its wholehearted
support of the Summers bill but in
sisted that the Democratic platform
support of suffrage for the District
meant local suffrage as we'll.
Urged to Vote for Measure.
In their letter the Washingtonians
wrote: Each member of the COM
mittee is urged to vote for the reSo-
luton, and we believe that you will.
knowing and understanding that a
great wrong has been perpetrated
upon voteless Washingtonians
The peculiar governmental con-
ditions under which the voteless
residents of the District live should
be definitely and rightfully changed
to conform with American ideals"
Miss Taggart urged the members
of the committee Ito remember that
suffrage is a vital and important
American right which belongs to all
true Americans"
Local Suffrage Asked.
The language of the resolution
by the Suffrage Association was
drafted yesterday by a special six
man committee meeting in the
Hotel Harrington. The time has
come" it declared. when the last
ounce of effort must be expended to
secure unqualified and adequate en-
franchisement for the people of the
District of Columbia"
Immediate passage by Congress Of
legislation based on the Kennedy
bill providing for local suffrage and
the Summers resolution for national
representation, the resolution said.
'is the only way in which the
Democratic party can redeem its
platform pledge: that either of these
alone will fail to be a fulfillment
Of that promise
Congress should adopt mot only
a resolution proposing Constitu-
tional amendment" to provide ma
