Imported Crews
Don't Pick Cotton

Mexican nationals imported

to harvest cotton in Bard. but
two other possibilities to help
farmers of that area are being
Wondered. Tom Finney. United
States EMPLOYMENT Service di-
rector, said Thursday.
Finney said that there is not
large enough surplus of men
here TO help the Bard cotton
growers. In addition. the ma
tionaIS have had little eXpe-
riencs in picking cotton, he
said.
Attempts may be made to
take MeXicans, who daily cross
the line from MeXicali, to work
in vegetable fields, to Bard.
The possibility of bringing
Mexican nationals who are fin

President Calls
For Reduction of

Roosevelt Recommends
t8-HOur, Six Day
Week for Government

WASHINGTON, Dec. "a.
(UP) = President Roosevelt
today signed temporary leg
islatiOn granting overtime
pay or salary increases to
government white collar workers
and at the same time asked federal
agencies to reduce personnel whcr-
ever possible"
Mr.. Roosevelt also recommended
that government agencies cStab-
liSh as a minimum work schedule
tho six day, 48-hour week for both
departmental and field service, in
asmuch as the new law makes Sat-
urday a full work day.
In a memo to all departments and
agencies, the President described
the pa" act as "a major step to-
ward setting the government per-
sonnet situation in order" He added
that it is necessary for the govern
mCnt Ito diSnenSe with every sur
plus employee
The new law NJ. Roosevelt said
removes inequitieS under which
many federal employees, heretofore
denied overtime compensation, have
been working and meets the rise
in the cost of living by providing
increased earnings for more and
longer hours"
1T also recognizes the acute
manrOWcr shortage" he added
and, as wartime necessity, re-
moves the peacctimc luxury of
the Saturday half-holiday"
Because the longer work week will
permit reductions OF personnel, the
President said he expected all dc
rartment and agency heads to take
immediate steps to reduce person
mel requirements.

must concentrate on winning of
the war" and therefore must meas
