Wage-Hour Division
Modifies Regulation
On Training Courses
Takes Action at Request
Of o. P. N. to Enlarge
Skilled Labor Supply

At the request of the Office of Pro-
duction Management, the Wage and
Hour Division has modified its rules
for determining whether compensa-
ton must be paid for attendance at
industrial training courses, it was
announced today. If attendance is
voluntary, if the course is given out
side regular working hours, if no
productive work is performed, and if
the purpose of the course Is to train
workers for higher skills, the time
spent attending these programs will
not be considered as hours worked
under the new rules.
In announcing the modification in
policy, the Wage and Hour Division
made public an exchange of letters
between Sidney Hillman and Gen
Phillip B. Fleming. Mr.. Hillman, in
his letter, pointed out that one of
the four criteria previously laid down
by the Wage and Hour Division was
whether "the training course is in
tended to train the employees to a
llCWs CllG. VI oh1l1
and is not intended to make the
employe more efficient at doing
what he has been doing in his pres
ent job"
Mr.. Hillman said that this phrase
ology had created some confusion in
the minds of employers. THE in
creaSing demand for more skilled
men in defense production makes it
imperative to prevent any misun-
derstanding or restraint that re-
tards the progress of individuals who
are needed for jobs of higher skill,
and who are taking advantage of
local opportunities to prepare them
selves for such advancement" he
declared in his letter to Gen.
Fleming.
THE intent is clear that men are
being prepared for advancement
and are seeking additional technical
knowledge through related instruc-
ton on a voluntary basis, out of
working hours, and with no result

Bookkeeping Change May Save
Lunches for School Children

Paying for the reunion of the
United Confederate Veterans here
last year might result in the curtail-
ment of school lunches served to
needy school children for the re-
mainder of the school year, 1t was
revealed today. unless a little ac-
counting change of some $4,000 is
approved by the General Accounting
Office.
Under language in the deficiency
bill of last June 27, Congress charged
the expenses of the then forthcom-
ing Confederate reunion to the
present District budget up to the
amount of $12,500. The veterans,
meeting in October, ran up bill
of $11,63
According to District officials, the
amount was chargeable to any ap-
preparation in the District budget,

and the late Auditor Daniel j.
Donovan decided to pay it from the
$177,500 fund for District sponsors
contribution TO w. P. A. projects.
A shortage in that fund is now
apparent and would, officials said,
If not made up, curtail the free
lunches now served to some 5000
needy school children.
Acting Auditor A. R, Pilkerton
and Welfare Director Robert Bondy,
however, found a surplus of about
$4,000 in the appropriation for aid
to needy blind The proposal now
before the General Accounting
Office is to transfer the charge for
the Confederate reunion from the
w. P. A. sponsors contribution to
the surplus in the other fund.
District officials were optimistic
that the change would be approved.

Harbor. However, according to
the same authority, the striking
power of the United States Fleet
in the Pacific has not been seri-
ously impaired.
We must expect, II this is true,
to see the American Fleet in &C
ton soon at a place where it can
most efficiently assist the defense
Of Singapore. Whether that will
be in the immediate vicinity Of
the great British fortress or 5000
miles away is a military secret.
Singapore Looking to U. s.
However, reading between the
lines of official British state
ments, which say the defenses Of
Singapore have been weakened
by the British Navy's losses, it
would appear that Britain looks
to United States men-of-war to
defend what every military and
naval expert considers to be the
key to the whole war.
Neither the Philippines nor
Hong Kong are of real conse-
quence as far as the main issue
of the Pacific campaign is con-
cerned. Their fall would not
alter the course of the war. Sing
apore rs an entirely different
matter.
Should the Japanese conquer
Singapore, Australia would be
Immediately threate d, the
Netherlands possessions and all
their riches Of oil, rubber, tin and
other essential materials would
fall into the lap Of the Japa-
nese, and the Japanese would
obtain an important base for
further operations in the Indian
Ocean. In such a case the signal
victories Of the Russian Armies
In Europe would be reduced to
naught.
Considering the disposition Of
Japanese forces in the Pacific 1t
is evident that their attacks on
the Philippines are an effort to
hem in the forces Of 1t. Gen.
Douglas Macarthur and to pre-
vent the American Air Force in
that area from reinforcing our
allies in Malaysia.

however, that some OF these New

that the almighty dollar is still the

by Japan's sneak attack on Pearl

Readers ofMaj G. Fielding Eliot.
these articles will recall that point
ed out some weeks ago the probable
Russian objective in case Of a Ger
man failure before Moscow to be
clearing of the Leningrad- Moscow
railway. This is now borne out by
the fact that the heaviest fighting
appears to be taking place north
west of Moscow, and the Russian re-
capture of Kiln and Kalinin seems
to point to the early accomplishment
Of this Russian purpose. 1t seems
likely that troops Of Marshal Voro-
shilov's army of reserve have been
used on this sector.
South Of Moscow Russian efforts
appear to be directed toward the
recapture Of Tula, which would re-
open direct rail communica tions be-
tween Moscow and the Russian
southern armies under Marshal
Timoshenko.
1917 Withdrawal Recalled.
Altogether, the information avail
able is consistent either with .
German attempt to hold roughly on
their present positions or with a
covering operation while they dig in
on a shorter line farther back and
prepare a defensive position for the
winter 1t is difficult not to be re-
minded Of the great German with
drawal on the western front between
March 16 and April 2, 1917, when
the Germans, having prepared their
Hindenbrug Line. withdrew on q TO-
mile front to q depth Of from 10
to 80 miles, completely upsetting
Allied plans for the spring offensive
OF this withdrawal the British
ofiicial history says: The retirement
was a master stroke, both in concep-
ton and execution. 1t ruined. as
we shall see, the whole strategical
conception of the Allies. 1t ex-
changed a bad, harried, bulging line
for another, well-sited, bristling
with every device Of the most up-to-
date defensive art, and much shorter.
1t was calculated that 13 fewer divi-
sions were required to defend the
new line. The retirement could not
be hurried; at least five weeks were
needed before the new works could
be complete, and at the same time it
was necessary for these ruthless dev-
astations by which Ludendorn hopes
to turn the intermediate territory
into an impracticable glacis."
A similar operation on a very
much larger scale may now be the
German purpose. 1t is even con-
ceivable that they might withdraw
as far as the general line Of the
Dvina and the Dnieper. with an
