Several years later Handel studied
music in Italy, then went to England.
He did not at first intend to settle
in England, but he was so much
charmed by the country that he de-
cided to spend the rest of his life
there. He became a British citizen.
Queen Anne was pleased with his
music and gave him pension. Later
he was treated well by both King
George I and King George II.
During his long life Handel COM
posed scores of fine pieces of music.
The work of composing started while
he was still boy. His most famous
work, the Messiah" was produced
while he was In England.
At the age Of 81 Handel became
blind. This did not stop him from
playing the organ or from composing
new music during his last six years.
More than half Of his life he spent
in England. He was buried In West
minister Abbey.

Barley Reveals Plan
For Federal Worker
Temporary War Pay
Civil Service Group
Drafting Resolution
To Adjust Overtime
Earlier Story on Page A-1.)


Majority Leader Barley told
the Senate this afternoon the
Civil Service Committee hopes to
work out within a few days some
temporary plan of wartime pay
adjustment for Government en-
ployes in lieu of the sidetracked
general overtime bill.
In response to a question from
Senator Taft, Republican, of Ohio,
Senator Barley said the overtime
bill will not be taken up in the clos
ing weeks of the old Congress, but
that he hopes to see a resolution
worked out that would continue for
this fiscal year laws which expire
tonight allowing overtime for GER
tain groups of civilians in the War
and Navy Departments, together
with some temporary relief for other
civilian personnel not eligible for
overtime pay.
Senator LANCER Republican, of
North Dakota joined in to say he
also hoped some plan could be
worked out.
The discussion in the Senate fol-
lowed Indications from the House
side that new plan of wartime
pay is being drafted that would
avoid the controversial overtime
issue. This plan would give a
straight 20 per cent increase to all
earning $4,000 or less a year, but
suspend the Saturday half holiday
law so that a 48-hour week would
be possible.
