10 Pei. Bonus Written
Into Mead Bill for
District Teachers
Proposal Is Ordered
FovorobIy Reported
By Senate Committee

An amendment to include District
school teachers under 10 per cent
bonus provision was written into the
Mead overtime pay bill for Govern
ment employees, which was ordered
favorably reported after a four-hour
executive session of the Senate Civil
Service Committee today.
Generally, this bill carries time
and a half overtime for more than
40 hours week and sets minimum
work week of A hours. It carries
10 per cent increase on salaries up
to $4,000 that do not come under the
overtime provision. The bill sets a
ceiling of $4,000 on the portion of
salaries for which overtime or 10 per
cent bonus is paid. In other words,
no matter how high a salary a Gov
ernment employe may be receiving.
the limit on overtime or bonus pay
is $500.
The bill. as reported, changes the
hourly basis of pay. The bill as
originally written would compute
overtime by using the fraction 1850,
and this was changed to 1-208O.
which is So (the number weeks)
times 40 (the number of hours per
week.. This places the computation
on an hourly rather than on a
daily rate.
AS reported. the bill carries a pro-
vision that heads of departments
must certify that all overtime by
employees Is necessary.
The 10 per cent increase will in
clude rural letter carriers, railway
clerks, special delivery messengers
and some postmasters and super
visors, but not regular city carriers
and clerks who would receive Just
overtime.
The effective date of this lepisla-
ton is set at October l, except in
those branches where an extension
OF the executive order for over
time pay would continue up to No.

Gov. Jones Asks 0PA
To Exempt Oil States
From Gas Rationinq
Says Producing Areas
Are PenoIized; Doubts 1t
Could Be Enforced
By the Associated Press.


BATON ROUGE, La, Oct. 23.-
Gov. Sam Jones today called on the
Federal Government to exempt oil
producing States from Nation wide
gasoline rationing, declaring there
was doubt whether it would be en-
forceable In Louisiana and adding it
would be destructive of our other
wise perfect record of war morale"
Gov. Jones, in a telegram to Price
Administrator Leon Henderson,
claimed producing States, includ-
ing Louisiana, "are simply being
penalized to satisfy producing
States and the application of the
order will in no wise help the war
effort
"It will not conserve rubber" he
maintained, "but it will handicap
our industry and penalize our State
and local governments
Louisiana's tax structure largely
depends on its oil and gas industry,
it was declared.
The telegram of Gov. Jones to Mr..
Henderson follows:
Il urge you to modify gas rationing
order for the oil-producing States.
I'VE are simply being penalized
to satisfy nom producing States and
the application of the order here will
in no wise help the war effort. 1t
will not conserve rubber but it will
handicap our industry and penalize
our State and local governments.
1T is the opinion of close observ-
ers that it will be unenforceable and
that this will be destructive of our
otherwise perfect record of war mo-
rale. Convinced as am that this
move is not feasible in oil-producing
States, I urge you to change and
modify your order accordingly"

The British ambassador, Lord

able services he has rendered" but

operation between the United States
Army Air Forces and the Royal Air
Force"
Lord Halifax said, "It is the SYM
Dol of comradeship in arms, of
which the Royal Air Force is day
by day more proud. We see this
partnership at work in the air raids
over Europe. We see it in the Middle
East. We see it in every part of the
world where British and American
airmen fly and fight together. 1t is
right that We should hail and honor
1t, both for its own sake, and because
1t is the surest guarantee of victory"

Says Stars Are Deferred.
Great effort is being extended to
win a deferred status for certain
stars" the Senator said. Here is
Kay Kyser, for example, a great
leader Of a great band, explaining
that his Government needs him
more in his task of entertaining and
selling bonds than in the military
ranks. All of which may be quite
true, but it doesn't seem to be the
Government that initiated keeping
Kyser at home" he added:
"A theatrical booking agency office
In Hollywood on August 81 received
from c. J. La Roche, its New York
agent, a long teletype message tell
ing Of how it had already handled
a list of stars including Kay Kyser.
In addition to smugly claiming re-
sponsibility for the classification of
Mr.. Kyser and others as being more
essential at home, that agency re-
cited others of their clients for whom
like classification was being
sought"
Asserting that the British had
been angered by the Life Magazine
editorial which threatens the peo-
pie of England with our withdrawal
from the war" unless England
opened second front, Senator Nye
said he was frankly angered by the
kind of pranks we get from the
Luces."
Has Criticized Britain.
As non n-interventionist," Sena-
tor Ney said. he had criticized Brit
ain and shall probably criticize
Britain again when we are free to
plan and shape our place in a world
that shall have finished with this
war"
It, too, may and do believe that
the British make terrible mistake
when they fail to recognize the
claims of India, but I'm not slyly
suggesting to England that if she
doesn't do thus and so about India,
the people of America are going to
quit the war and leave our Allies
out on limb" he continued.
For my part" Senator Nye said,
I'm ready to let our ally, Britain,
have the full benefit of every doubt,
give them credit for perhaps con-
eentrating Allied forces and making
ready to strike solid blow rather
than splitting and spreading them
selves so thinly upon many fronts
that they cannot hope to be truly
effective anywhere"
