BY DANIEL DEUCE

BUDAPEST, Oct. 81. - Up - A
whispering campaign" blaming Ger
many for food shortages in south
eastern Europe drew the sharp fire
of Hungarian government news
papers today.
The newspaper attacks followed a
series of economic reports showing
steep increases in living costs in
this neutral sector since the war be-
gan.
Foreign office publications charged
mysterious enemy propagandists"
with conducting a campaign Of let
tiers and pamphlets blaming heavy
exports to Germany for rationing
measures and for a shortage of food
and clothing in territory normally
rich in agricultural products.
The newspapers said the alleged
propaganda was designed to weaken
relations between Germany and
southeastern Europe.

Fleming Says Craftsmen Not
Exempt From Wage-Hour Law

WASHINGTON, Oct. 81 R -
Col. Philip B. Fleming, wage-hour
administrator, told a union Of ar.
chitects and engineers today that
Sin the vast majority Of in
stances craftsmen would not be
regarded as professional workers
who are exempt from the wage
hour law.
He expressed a similar vie"
about newspaper reporters as,
signed to regular beats and about
copy desk editors.
Fleming's opinions we're con-
tanned in a letter to B. O. Lum'
business representative of the
Seattle Association of Technical
Engineers and Architects. Lum
had asked for Qualification OF re-
Gently adopted rules defining e1,
empted administrative" ana
professional" employees.
The rules, require that an ex'
empted employe in this classIll,
cation must receive at least szoO
a month, and must meet certain
other requirements. Employees NOV
exempted must be paid time anu
one half for work in excess Oh
40 hours weekly.
As to whether craftsmen pala
over 5000 a month were exempt
Fleming said:
1.-THE information at u dlspoS'
al indicates that craftsmen are
normally paid on an hourly pass
and in general are employed III
groups and perform routine worn
Thus, in the vast majority OF III
stances, a craftsman will stu re-
tain the benefits of the act even
if they are paid 5000 a month
He said there were exceptions
such as the craftsman whose "orh
was incident to duties connecleu
with management policies or gem
eral business operations.
In discussing exempted profess
sional workers, Fleming said;

the reporters assigned ~

Am I havin' any fun? Well,
yes-and no. Yep, it's wonderful
in the mornings. That's fine. Birds
singing, sun rising, Oakie shining
wonderful.
parties are different, though.
Hardest part is before dinner.
Everybody sitting around chat
tering and glowing and I don't
know what to do with myself. I
hold a glass of soda pop in my
hand and I walk up to guys and
l say something brig . and it amt
SO bright and I know it. A coupla
drinks and I'd think I'd vowed
EN-. So I always try to get to
parties late. 49,.
AFTER dinner I keNp up the
same line-I drink soda pop and
more soda pop. Sometimes I Won
der if the pop isn't worse than the
shellac. -.
"You know what's happening
to me? Terrible thing. The DRINKS
annoy me! I.sit off in the corner
by myself and look at EN-, and
think 'who-am-I to get annoyed?'
But it's true, s'help me-and some
OF my old buddies too. 49,.
Il was at a party the other night
and the shellac was flowing over
the floor, but all around me. The
host comes up and he's talking
and I pulls him closer and says,
Talk right at me, fella-I'm no,
drinkin' it but I like the breath
Ha-ha-ho-ho! -.
But parties are cranaped now
adays. S not like the old days.
Everybody's on guard. People
aren't saying what they're think
lng-they're afraid it'll get back
to the boss or to somebody who
matters. There used to be real
clambakes in Hollywood. Lolita
laughs. Like when a fellow took a
beefsteak and pinned it to the tail
of his coat and walked around that
way all through a r, rty. Why. we
thought that was funny. But now
they'd probably say, Throw that
guy out ... They definitely
wouldn't think a fellow was funny
if they walked in and caught him
saving off the legs of their piano
ono we laughed like everything
"Hollywood's different another
way too. I remember when a pro-
Queer got up in meeting and said
about a big star, This fellow was
drunk last night and insulted me

Fellow I feel sorry for is the one

a good boy but after four or five

LIKE THE WATER\

One of the stories coming from travellers
returning from France is the new nickname
with which the French mostly in unoccu-
pied France) have christened the Nazi troops
lined up along the English channel waiting for
invasion of England. The French call them
''glug-glugs."
Here's the way it was explained to me. 1.-The
French say that the Nazis are very brave and
their morale is very high and they are willing
to face almost anything ON LAND that Der
Fuehrer orders them into. But when it comes
to getting out in that channel and getting boats
shot from under them and going down with
nothing more to say about it than 'glug- glug, >
they don't want any part of it,"
ONE MISSPELLED WORD
This is a case of fiddling while the news
paper boys burned. At the Army the other
day, it was announced that an important state.
ment would be issued at IL noon. The news
men notified their desks and gathered around
by the scores when noon came. Two hours
later, the irritated, restless, hungry press was
handed the belated announcement.
One OF the boys asked a stenographer what
had happened. She looked both ways and then
whispered: 1--WE misspelled the word airport
and had to do the whole darn thing over
again." .

WASHINGTON, Oct. 27.-The weller of de-
tense activity is not without its chuckles. For
example
A friend has gone to the airport the other
night to see his sister-in-law off. The plane
TAXED down the runway, turned, rushed back
up the field and skinned into the air.
My friend had started to leave when a hr1k.
ing fellow stepped out of the shadows and
stopped him.
Where was that plane headed for" he
asked. az
The friend explained but asked why the
question. The big mar said: ooh, I don't
know. I just wondered. 1t was a good take-off.
One of the best" :
D you mean to tell me-" asked my friend
that you haven't anything better to do than
stand around here and watch the planes take
off and land''
The man said: II don't see anything wrong
with that" And dropping into a conversational
tone, ne talked for minutes on the beauty of
planes wlnglng into the airport and off into
the night. Finally he started to leave.
My friend said: well, good night Mr.. KIND.
