46S-ki|e Highway Slated
For New York After War
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
A four-lane divided highway ex-
tending 468 miles and surprising
any existing highway in length in
uninterrupted travel possible" is
scheduled for postwar construction
in New York State, Public Roads
Commissioner Thomas H. MacDon-
aid announced yesterday.
Mr.. Macdonald gave this de-
scription of the project:
Beginning at the New Jersey line
near Suffern, the highway will pass
up the west side of the Hudson
River to point near Albany,
whence 1t will pass near Schnec-
tady, Utica, Syracuse, Rochester,
Buffalo and along the shore Of Lake
Erie to the Pennsylvania line.
1t will have two traffic lanes in
either direction, separated by mall.
The right way will have min
imum width Of 200 feet. The high
way will be largely on new location
and will not be crossed at its level
either by railroads or other high
ways. It will skirt cities and en-
trance to it will be permitted at Sc
lected points only.
The planning will be handled by
the New York Division of Highways
and the Federal Government and
State will share the costs. Concep-
ton of the highway is in accord
with a system OF inter-regional
highways proposed by the Public
Roads Administration in 1899.

There is a comparatively large
Negro vote in the State. estimated
as high as 10000. The Republicans
claim that much of this vote has
returned to the COP fold, though
this is doubtful in view Of the strong
hold the Roosevelt family has on
the affections Of this group of voters.
Money Not Visible.
If there is any money being spent
in large quantities in this campaign,
it is not visible to the naked eye.
An FB1 investigation of alleged elec-
ton frauds in 1910 has been going
on for two years. 1t was directed
largely at the Republicans, and
several have been indicted and one
or two convicted in connection with
the probe.
The Democrats believe that this
may discourage large disbursement
of money before the election. With
the exception of 1923, when the
Du Ponts-some of them at least
contributed to the Democratic ma
tional ticket in a large way on the
issue of prohibition, the Du Points
have generally lined up with the
COP. In the last campaign they
contributed $4,000 to the Repub-
lican State Committee alone, aside
from contributions made to indi-
vidual candidates and the Repub-
lican National Committee.
About 10000 young men have left
Delaware to 60 into the armed forces
of the country. Many of them are
potential voters, but few are ex-
pected to cast ballots. This loss will
be felt by both parties, although it
has been figured in the past that
a larger percentage of the young
voters have followed the New Deal
party.
One thing that haunts the Demo-
Gratis is fear that the workers in
the war plants and other industries
will not take the time off. or will
be unable to find time, to vote They

Kaiser Encouraged
In Steel Plant Expansion
By the Associated Press


Henry J. Kaiser, West Coast
shipbuilder. said yesterday efforts
of the War Production Board to
bring about an expansion of his
steel plant at San Bernardino,
Calf, were very encouraging"
He and his son, Edgar F., who
runs the Kaiser shipyards in the
Vancouver-Portland area. called at
the White House to see Presidential
Secretary Marvin H. Mcintyre, and
discussed the steel problem after
ward with reporters.
The son said trouble was being
experienced in getting enough steel
though it was not holding up pro-
duction schedules yet. If the
Kaiser shipyards can get more steel,
he said, they can increase produc-
ton, and his father added that
there is mo question about that"
The Kaiser blast furnace at San
Bernardino is scheduled to begin
production December 22-it was
started last March-with a capacity
of 100000 tons a year. The elder
Kaiser said he hoped to expand
the capacity to 100000 tons and
that WPB had given him encour-
agement over the prospects.

BARGE CunuI Out
BY the Associated Press

BY tne Associated Press.
Senate action on a $4,000 ,000,-
900 bill to intensity the Navy's
striking power is, expected today
following its approval by the
House yesterday. The bill in
cludes a provision for 1851 new
bombers and fighting planes.
Following the expected Senate ap-
proval, the supplemental wartime
appropriation and contract au-
thoriZation measure will be sent to
President Roosevelt.
The legislation brings to $67 ,00O,-
100000 the total of direct appro-
priations and contract authorize
tions for the sea forces since July
1910.
Provide Ahead for 1914.
For all defense and war purposes
since that date the appropriations
and contract authorizations aggre-
gate 1922 600, 100000. However, moth
ing like this amount will be ex-
pended in one year, since the sum
represents provision for materials
and construction as far ahead as
1914.
The House approved unanimously
a report of the House Senate con-
ference committee which struck
from the bill Senate provision
permitting the use of certain un-
expended rivers and harbors funds
to begin construction of the pro-
posed Florida barge canal. Chair
man Cannon of the House Appro-
priations Committee said the COM
mittee was informed that neither
material nor manpower was avail
able now for this work.
In its final form, the bill retained
Senate stipulation that appoint
ments to the War Manpower Com
mission staff paying $4,000 or more
a year be subject to Senate con-
firmation.
Among the larger items in the
bill were s600,00O,O 900 for war hous-
ing and $140,000,00O for the Office
Of Price Administration.
Stricken out was a $1,000, 900 item
for a farm labor survey by the War
Manpower Commission.
Appropriated outright was $6.341.-
196,887, including $2,S62 ,O0O, 900 for
acquisition of 1851 new Navy
planes. The Navy also would be
authorized to begin letting con-
tracts on $9,50o, 600 900 construc-
tion program intended to add 2,10o,-

its minimum standards, earn only
$12 to SIG week. He added, how
ever, that these attacks have come,
not from labor or management, but
from the uniformed and those
who saw an opportunity to take ad-
vantage of the emergency to turn
back the clock"
Discussing enforcement of the
law, Mr.. Walling said that, since
Pearl Harbor, almost $4,000, 900 in
restitution of back pay has been
agreed to or ordered paid to about
100000 workers in almost $4,000
establishments. Violations of the law
have been usually inadvertent," the
administrator said, as the depart
ment has found that employers want
to comply.
Turning to the Presidents execu-
tive order relating to overtime wage
compensation, Secretary Perkins
said its purposes were to prevent
absenteeism in war industry due to
temptation to work Sundays for
double time and lay off another day,
and to provide one day of rest in
seven for each worker as an eff
cheney measure.
Calls for Safety.
1T provides that no premium
wage or extra compensation shall
be paid to any employe for work
on Saturday or Sunday as such
except where such work Is per-
formed on the sixth or seventh day
in his regular work week." the Sec.
retary said. If an employe is re.
quired to work for seven consecu.
tive days because of emergency con.
dltions, a premium wage of double
time is payable for work on tn,
seventh day"
Secretary Perkins also pointed t,
the safety provisions of the Pub
lie Contracts Act among the bene
fits of labor statutes. More thai
$4,000 American workers have los
their lives in accidents, most o
them preventable, since Pearl Har
bor, she said.

With MetcuIfe WuIIina

Changes in the restitution policy
Of the Wage and Hour Division Of
the Labor Department, to speed en-
forcement of the wage-hour law
and to bring its benefits to more
workers, were announced last night
In radio talk by L. Metcalfe

been instructed to inspect payroll
records back to October "a, 1910,

the act, reached 40 hours a week,
and the date when regulations de-
f1ning executive, administrative and
professional employees were an
nounced.
Will Expedite Work.
Working from the 1910 date. Mr.,
Walling explained, will expedite the
work of inspectors and enable them
to cover many more establishments.
Heretofore" he said, much of
the time Of our inspection force
throughout the country has been
taken up in making computations
OF back wages due. In many cases
this task was complicated by the
absence OF adequate records during
the early days of the law" While
this did not impair the rights of
employees who were not properly
paid, he said, it did complicate
seriously the administrative work
of enforcement.
The new policy, Mr.. Wallinp
pointed out, docs not in any way
impair the rights of employees not
paid In accordance with the act to
sue for double the amount withheld
since the effective date of the act on
October "a, 1888"

This is an amphibious war, a war
in which fighting is going on simul-
taneously on land and sea.
I'm an amphibious war the land

port directly to President Roosevelt

Of lack of coordination now be-

But. he declared:
you can't expect unity of COM
mand to work at Pearl Harbor, or
in the Solomons, or anywhere else,
unless it Is flowing from here in
Washington"
Under Mr.. Mas plan. all mem
bers of the armed forces would wear
the same type of uniform. At the
top there would be a single COM
manding officer, responsible directly
to the President.
