Move 10 Extend
Overtime PAY
Laws Slated
Steering Committee
Doshes Hopes Of U. S.
Workers Not Covered

Senate leaders will make an effort
next week to obtain an extension Of
temporary laws that expire Novem-
ber 80. authorizing overtime pay for
certain groups of civilian workers
at war and Navy arsenals and sta
tions.
Meanwhile, thousands Of other
Government employees not covered
by existing overtime pay acts will
have to wait until the new Congress
meets in January for further con-
sideration of the general overtime
pay measure which is awaiting ac-
ton on the Senate calendar.
The Senate Democratic Steering
Committee decided yesterday not to
bring up any controversial legisla-
ton during the remaining days of
the present Congress, but author
lied Senator Mead, Democrat, of
New York to seek extension of the
temporary overtime provisions.
Laws Cover SO Per Cent.
At present So per cent of the Gov
ernments personnel may be paid
for overtime under various statutes,
while AZ per cent. including depart
mental clerks, cannot. The general
overtime bill sought to establish a
uniform system. Although this gen.
eral bill has been reported favor
ably from the Civil Service Com
mittee, it will die If not passed by
January 3. In the new Congress it
would have to be reintroduced and
considered again in committee.
A chart showing the effect on the
District government of the Mead
overtime pay bill is being prepared
for the Commissioners following
Supt. of Schools Frank w. Ballou's
plea yesterday for support of extern
sion OF the pay increases to teachers
and other school employees.
Budget Officer Walter L. Fowler
has contended that, since teachers
hours are not to be extended by the
measure, granting of increases to
them constitutes bonus" In that
case, he said, policemen and firemen
should receive the increases also.
He estimated the cost of raising the
pay of all three groups at $4,000 900
annually.
Mead Bill Provision.
The Mead bill provides for extern
sion of Government working hours
from 40 to "A a week, with accom-
panying raises up to 5000 yearly.
Teachers are now included in the
measure as to pay. but not in hours.
DR.. Ballou was asked by the Board
of Education to ask the Commits
sioners' support of giving the in
creases to District school employees
in view of the rise of the cost of
living here.
After DR.. Ballou appeared before
them yesterday the Commissioners
asked Mr. Fowler to prepare a chart
showing effect of the raises on the
District payrolls.
In the past, the Commissioners
have been opposed to a separate
bill in Congress, still pending. which
would grant firemen and policemen.

Nursery School Bill
Advocates Intensity
Drive for PASSAGE
Hope to Get Action
In Senate Before
Session Expires

With only one month left for
action by this Congress on the bill
to provide nursery schools for chill
dren of working mothers in the
District, the nursery school advo-
Gates intensified their efforts today
to get the bill before the Senate.
The measure which would open
the public schools to children under
5 years of age and restore WPA
nurseries to the District has travelled
this week from the Federal Budget
Bureau to the Federal Security
Agency and to the Federal Works
Agency for an opinion.
Early Legal Opinion Promised.
Today officials of the Federal
Works Agency's legal division said
they would get their report on the
bill back to the Budget Bureau i'm
mediately.
The journey of the bill through
FSA is expected to be of longer
duration, however, according to
James Brunot, director of the day
care section of the Office of Defense
Health and Welfare Services. At
FSA the legal division has sent the
bill out for an opinion to four other
agencies. Most of these agencies
had just received the bill yesterday.
The United States Children's Bu-
reau has been asked for its opinion
as has the War Manpower Commits
sion. the Office of Defense, Health
and Welfare Services and the Office
of Education.
Hearings Held Up.
Meanwhile, Senator Capper, Re-
publican, of Kansas told The Star
that he had been unable to hold
hearings on the bill because of the
absence of Senator Holman of Ore
gon, member of his three-man
subcommittee of the Senate District
Committee. Senator Capper said
that he had been instructed by
Senator McCarran to begin the
hearings.
The District Emergency Commit
tee on Nursery Schools, representing
20 or more organizations, through
its legislative chairman, Miss Alice
Mendham, said that it would urge
Senator McCarran to forgo hear
ings on the bill since the District
Commissioners report on the bill
will probably reach the Capitol
before hearings could be held.

Milk Supplies
From New York
May BeCut0ff
Demands in Thut
Area Increasing,
Expert Warns

As local milk handlers prepared to
take advantage of the Agriculture
Departments order extending the
area in which dealers may buy milk
for local consumption, department
expert warned today that Washing
ton may be cut off from its supply of
milk from the New York area.
Approximately IA per cent of the
milk bought into the Washington
area is being imported from that
State, he said, adding that New
York dairymen fear they will not
be able to continue shipping here
because of the increased demands in
their own areas.
He pointed out that 3,738, $40
pounds of milk were shipped into
this area from New York State in
October. Another 672,200 pounds
were imported here from other areas
during October, including West
Virginia and Pennsylvania.
Agriculture Department author
1ties generally took an optimistic
view of the milk situation here.
They cited these facts as assuring
Washington residents an adequate
supply:
Suspension of a portion of the
milk-marketing agreement, which
extended the purchasing area, will
open up new supply markets for
dairies. Decision of the District
Health Department to place in the
field additional inspectors of dairy
farms expected to be brought into
the Washington milkshed.
The authorities point out that
milk production will pick up begin
ming next month, and will continue
to rise through the winter. Milk
production is at its lowest level in
the fall
Informed sources here scout re-
ports that Washington consumers
will have their milk rationed. An
OPA spokesman said yesterday that
fluid milk will be the last dairy
produce rationed, if ever" Another
authority said that he did not be-
lieve milk would be rationed here
before next fall
Opposed to this, however, was the
contention of C. Irwin Dunn, Wash
ington Milk Marketing Admins
traitor, that some form of rationing
would have to be set up in this area
to handle the situation. He took
the stand that enlarging the WASH
ington milkshed would bring only
temporary relief.
He fixed the shortage here at
about 10000 gallons a day. The
demand is 10000 gallons daily, he
estimated, with local and nearby
dealers able to furnish only $4,000
gallons.
The Agriculture Department has
estimated that 1892 900 pounds of
milk were consumed here in October
as compared with 26,40O000 pounds
a year earlier. Increased population
here and the shortage of coffee are
responsible for the increase, it was
said. About 95 per cent of the Dis
trict supply goes into bottled milk
and cream, the department esti-
mated =
Handlers of milk in the Washing
ten area, before suspension this week
of a part of the marketing agree
ment, had to pay milk producers
outside the milkshed-prices COM
parable to milk within the area.
Now dealers are permitted to pay
the price prevailing in any locality.
In most instances, it was explained,
milk prices outside the milkshed
have been lower.

With Nation wide coffee rationing
starting at midnight tonight, some
leading Washington restaurants
have imposed no restrictions on
their customers, while others have
set limit of one cup per Gus
toner per meal, a survey revealed
today.
Furthermore. although OPA reg
ulations do not prevent restaurants
from requiring customer to buy
food to get coffee, only a few eating
places refuse to sell coffee alone.
The start of rationing tonight
will end seven-day sales freeze
tor the householder. From then on
each person Is years old and over
will be allowed one pound of coffee
every five weeks
Coffee rationing was based on
September and October sales, OPA
permitting outlets to buy as much
coffee for consumption from Novem-
ber 81 through January 81 as they
bought during September and Oc-
tober. In the case of newly opened
restaurants which were not in buSi-
ness during September and October,
OPA set as a base figure the allot-
ment of l pound of coffee for each
go meals served.
What Regulation Says.
This ruling, OPA explained, gave
rise to rumors that it is illegal for
an owner to require purchase of food
in order for the customer to obtain
coffee. Actually, the regulation
reads as follows:
"a cup of coffee, unless served
with another food item other than
milk, cream or sugar, does not con-
Stitute a meal"
Short of report from every res
taurant in the city serving coffee,
it is moot question whether the
one-cup limitation is honored more
in the breach than in the observ-
ance. But events are shaping up
toward a uniform policy, in the
opinion of Robert Wilson, executive
secretary of the Washington Res
taurant Association and a member
of the District Rationing Appeals
Board.
"OPA tells us it is not in the res
taurant business, and that the mat
ter Of restrictions imposed on Gus
toners is purely voluntary matter
with the owners" Mr.. Wilson said
today.
