Mr.. Nelson said that he felt that

Mr.. Nelson pointed out that during
the last year there have been no
full holidays in war production.
With patriotic zeal, management
and workers in our mines and fac
tories have made even such tradi-
tional holidays as Independence
Day and Labor Day days of steady
unbroken production. Now we come
to the Christmas holiday" Mr.. Mel

should be the one exception to the
rule which has been observed thus

Therefore, he suggested that all
workers, except those necessary for
maintenance, take the day off and

A well-fed America saw it's
first Thanksgiving Day of the
war bring what probably was a
new low in the number of fatal
accidents for the holiday as un-
interrupted production, gasoline
rationing and the absence of
many now in the armed services
joined to reduce sharply the flow
of traffic.
In contrast to past Thanksgiving
celebrations, reports of death by vio-
lent means trickled in. Early today,
60 persons had been reported killed,
80 in traffic, 8 by trains and AZ in
shootings, coal mine mishaps, fires

Senate Leaders Act
To Continue Existinq
Federal Overtime Pay
Bill Extending Wage
To All Government
Workers Is Laid Aside

The Democratic steering COM
mittee of the Senate today au-
thorized the Civil Service Com
mittee, headed by Senator Mead,
Democrat, of New York to bring
in a joint resolution extending
existing overtime pay laws for
civil employees of the Federal
Government until the close of
the present fiscal year, June 80,
1943.
The Civil Service Committee will
continue it's consideration of the
pending overtime and increased pay
bill, applying to all civil employees of
the Government, with the under
standing that after some modifica-
tions have been made, the measure
will be reported to the Senate for
consideration and action.
Barkley Announces Move.
This announcement was made by
Democratic Leader Barkley. chair
man of the Steering Committee. The
recommendation for a joint resolu-
ton extending existing overtime
pay for civil employees of the Govern
ment was the only affirmative action
taken by the Steering Committee
Senator Barkley said that the
committee had decided not to take
UP at this time the Federal educa-
tlonal bill. This is an extremely
controversial measure. he pointed
out. Furthermore it has not been
reported out by the House Commit
tee on Education. Senator Barkley
said that it would be a futile thing
for the Senate to act on bill which
was not assured of action by the
House before this Congress ends
January 3.
The Democratic leader added that
he saw no prospect of the passage of
controversial legislation of any kind
in these closing weeks of the present
Congress.
Senator Mead appeared before the
Steering Committee today and rec
commended the passage Immediately
Of the joint resolution extending
existing overtime pay for civil en-
ployes, which was approved by the
Steering Committee.
Points to Executive Order.
After leaving the committee meet
ing Senator Mead pointed out that
some of these existing overtime pay
positions had already been extended
until December l by executive order.
The joint resolution is to continue
them until the end of the fiscal year
by legislation. He said that he plans
to call the Civil Service Committee
together early next week to continue
its consideration of the overtime
and increased pay bill for the whole
civil service setup. The House has
not yet taken any action on this
measure.
Senator Barkley said there had
been some discussion at the Steer
ing Committee meeting of the So
called war powers bill, dealing with
immigration and tariffs, now before
the House Ways and Means Com
mlttee. No action, he said, has
been taken on this measure since it
must originate in the House.
Several members of the Steering
Committee, Senator Barkley added,
brought up the question of an ad-
journment of the present Congress,
but nothing was done about it. Pre-
sumably Senate leaders will consult
with those of the House before any
steps looking to adjournment in De-
cember will be taken Some of the
House leaders have discussed infor-
mally the possibility of adjourning
Congress around December Is.
