Benes Declares
Czech President
Joins Pleo for
Allied Second Front

LONDON, July Is - up -
Pres dent Eduard Benes of
Czechoslovakia's exiled govern
ment, urging a second front in
Europe in 1912, declared today
that the Germans will offer
peace to Britain, the United
States and Russia by Oct. Is if
they do not score a decisive mil
itary success by that time.
Foolish unacceptable terms"
already are being prepared, he
said in a talk to Czech soldiers.
Benes spoke as ten London
munitions workers, who said
they represe ted 1000 col
leagues, took a petition to No.
10 Downing street, the resi-
dence of the Prime Minister,
asking for a western front in
Europe.
Benes predicted that Hitler's
peace offer would not be ac-
copied and if the Russians hold
out - "and I think they will"
Germany would be exhausted
by Spring.
How long the war will last
depends upon whether there is
q second front in Europe this
year." he continued. Il myself
desire there should be one and
am making endeavors to obtain
this solution of the question.
There is a certain risk connect
ed with it but the risk next
year will be even greater .
IF second front can be es-
tablished within the next three
months to divert a certain pro-
portion of the German forces
from the eastern front it is prob
able that things will develop
quickly and we might be home
within a year"

Romme|'s s Selection
OF Ras E AaIi for
New Stand Indicated
Enemy Retreat so Hosty
Axis Cont Be Brought
To- Action, British Soy
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
CAIRO, Egypt, Jan. lo.-Reports
Of an r. A. F. bombing and machine
gun attack on Axis tanks grouped
near Ras el Aau were seen tonight
as indicating that Gen. Erwin ROM
mel may have chosen that section
along the Gulf of Sirte for the next
stand Of his still-strong armored
force.
The British Near East headquar-
ters said the Axis withdrawal along
the 70-mile road to Ell Agheila from
their last stand at Agedabia was SO
swift that British advanced troops
were unable to bring the enemy to
action.
Ras ell AaN is on the coast 80
miles farther to the west along the
desert road to Tripolitania. 1t was
recalled that Ras el Aali has been
mentioned several times as a base
of Axis supplies and possibly rein
forcements.
Although authoritative sources
declined to estimate the strength of
Gen. Rommel's force, some observers
said the army he is withdrawing
probably is composed Of fewer than
$4,000 men.
The number Of prisoners taker
since the British drove westward
from the Egyptian frontier appar-
emily is not more than $4,000 and
other Axis casualties would appear
to account for relatively small par,
of the 10000 Axis troops which
Prime Minister Churchill said con-
fronted the British at the outset.
The rest, some sources said, ap-
parently were in the hold-out force
near Halfaya Pass and scattered
Evening star., 1942-01-11

along the long communications lines
which Gen. Rommel must guard.
The Axis positions near Halfaya
were reported under aerial attack
and bombardment by British war
ships.
Military sources said they learned
from questioning German prisoners
that the idea of eventual defeat in
North Africa, finally had been driven
home to Gen. Rommel's men during
the last several weeks.
The average prisoner, 1t was said
gives the impression that the Ger
mans are prepared to fight to the
bitter end In Africa, not with en-
thusiastic hopes Of victory but a.
. matter Of military honor.
Many seemed to have lost Their
faith in Gen. Rommel and openly
criticized their generals whom they
blamed for leaving them In the
hurch.

US. Employees Moving
Into Shifted Agencies
Must Pay for Travel
Expenses Allowable Only
If Worker Remuins in
Same Unit, Warren Rules

Government employees cannot COL
lect travel and moving expenses in
cident to a transfer between differ
ent agencies. nor when they are
separated from one establishment
and are reappointed concomitantly
in another, under a decision by
Controller General Lindsay C.
Warren.
The ruling. made public yesterday,
went to William J. Donovan, CO.
ordinator of information, whose
agency was one of those financed by
an allotment from the President
and in it the Controller General re-
iterated an earlier statement that
Congress did not give the President
a blank check in setting up a $685.
0O000O "emergency fund" for his
use in June, 1910. when the defense
program was launched.
In the light of the ruling, in
cidentally. employees transferring
into decentralized agencies would be
required to bear all expenses in con-
nection with the shift from WASH
ington.
The decision denied reimburse

B. Wilson, former regional informa.
ton specialist In the Farm Security
Administration in Denver, who was
brought to Washington last Septem-
Der as special assistant to James
Roosevelt, liaison officer for the
co-ordinator of information. Col
Donovan had proposed to compen-
safe Mr.. Wilson out of the presi-
Dental allotment to his Office.
The ruling was based on two
grounds. Travel expenses are pay

12-ton tanks into the battle, re-
inforcing the much lighter two
man tanks which they previ-
ously had been using.
The most optimistic feature Of q
desperate situation was the growing
activity Of the British Air Force
which, according to today's COM
munique, delivered telling blows on
three Japanese aviation and COM
munication bases, smashing planes,
runways and stores and setting
fierce fires among buildings and
military objectves.
Fires Rsoorted Started.
Without ino.cating whether the
r. A. F. here had been reinforced,
the British conmuniQue said several
fires were started and explosions
set of when aircraft roared over
the japanese base at Sungei Patani
in Thailand tsday.
Farther nor,h, bombs smashed
into shipping. q railway junction and
military buildings at Singora. and .

uncontrolled fer hours.
Three big fires were started among

and a huge blaze visible for so miles

Further Withdrawal.
The communique reported only
that the British forces had been
forced to withdraw farther south
from along the Slim River In West

ton Of new positions taken up.
1t was admitted. however. that the
British command here was withsut

Appeals Court Rules
Time.a d-Ha|f Pay

Employer Connot Drop to
Wuee-Hour Minimum,
Opinion Declares

The United States Court Of Ap-
peals for the Fourth Circuit has
upheld the Interpretation of the
Wage and Hour Division that over
time pay, under the Fair Labor
Standards Act, must be at the rate
of time and one-half the employees,
regular rate and not merely time
and one-half the minimum rate un-
der the law. Thomas w. Holland,
administrator Of the division, an
nounced yesterday.
Reversing the decision Of Judge
William c. Coleman in the District
Court at Baltimore. the appeals
court opinion directed the lower
court to enter judgment for William
H. Missel against the Overnight
Motor Transportation Co., Inc, Of
Baltimore, which employed him as
a dispatcher. Judge Coleman had
ruled that Mr.. Missel was entitled
to time and one-half at only 80
cents an hour, the minimum rate of
pay under the act, though his
weekly wage was at higher rate.
Pay Employe Is Receiving.
1--WE think It is clear that regular
rate of pay means the actual rate
of pay which the employe is re-
ceiv;ng, no matter how high, and
not the minimum rate set forth in
the statute" the appeals court opin-
ion declared. I'VE are unable to
agree with the lower court that the
primary purposes of the Fair Labor
Standards Act are satisfied by the
payment of time and one-half the
statutory minimum for overtime" !"
Commenting on the aim of Con-
gress in enacting the wage and hour
law, the opinion said further: 1T
seems plain from the legislative his
tory of the act that, in addition to
attempting to establish decent ma
| tional level of working conditions,
one of the fundamental purposes OF
the act was to induce work-sharing
cad relieve unemployment by re-
ducing hours of work. One of the
| impelling forces behind the act is the
effort to promote economic stability
through increased purchasing power.
Discourages Overtime.
"These purposes Of the act are
accomplished because the overtime
provisions OF the act, requiring en-
ployers to pay an extra bonus or
penalty for such work, distinctly
tend to discourage overtime. This is
on the theory that the overtime rate
established by the act will be suf-
ficiently expensive to compel employ
ment of new men, and that en-
ployers, rather than pay overtime,
will spread employment.

the Wage and Hour Division and
regulations have interpreted 'regu-
lar rate at which he is employed to
mean the actual rate the employe is
receiving and not the statutory mini

will result not only in vast increases
in expenditures but also in increased
ineff1ciency in governmental opera
ton and the actual impairment of
good government"
The resolution requested that ex-
ecution of the transfer order "be
stayed Immediately"
The preamble of the resolution
declared that both the Senate and
House District Committees have
been meeting in almost daily joint
sessions with view to determining
the advisahility and feasibility OF
moving agencies and Offices from
the District"
1t stated that they have in their
possession certain information and
data which should be considered by
the Bureau of the Budget in con-
nection with decentralization Or
ders. 1t complained that the budget
director and other officials of that
Office have not complied with re-
quests for information by the Senate
and House District Committee.
1t stated that they have en-
deavored to obtain on several occa-
sions, but without success, through
persons appearing at public hearings
or responsible officials of the bu-
reau and through telephone calls
and correspondence with the direct
ing heads of the bureau, informa-
ton as to the basis for the orders
issued and pertinent data regarding
selection of sites, buildings, equip
ment, cost of moving agencies and
personnel, and provisions for the
accommodation of Offices and per-
sonnel in other localities"
Chairman McCarran emphasized
that numerous letters and tele-
phone calls have been received by
Senate and House committee men,
bers to the effect that Government
employees have been charged with
disloyalty and lack of patriotism II
they oppose the moving of their
respective agencies" He declared
that removal of such personnel in
wolves monetary losses of incal-
culable amounts, as well as the dis
ruption of home and civil life"
Reduced Efficiency Seen.
In his resolution he stated that
''in the opinion of the representa-
tives of the agencies affected, ex-
pressed in public hearings before
the committees, the efficiency Of
the Federal Government will be
seriously injured, the increase In
cost of maintaining the ofnces away
from Washington will result in
tremendous increase in appropria-
tions to carry on the work Of these
agencies"
He also insisted that Congress
would be seriously hampered and its
work impaired in cooperation and
consultation with the agencies and
that "the cost of communicating
with such agencies and Offices will
be tremendously increased"
Before introducing his resolution,
Senator McCarran had extensive
conferences with Senate and House
leaders, many prominent members
OF both houses, and endeavored In
his resolution to express what he
found to be the general sentiment
IN Congress.
