RIO DE JANEIRO. Feb. g.
Brazil joined the United Nations
today as a full partner against
the Axis in a move which places
this country at war against
Japan as well as Germany and
Italy.
Brazil previously had been for
mally at war against the European
Axis partners and not against ia

of the United States.
The decision to sign the pact of
the United Nations was reached
this afternoon at a meeting of the
cabinet with President Getulio
Vargas, who recently conferred with
President Roosevelt on a United
States destroyer at Natal after the
Casablanca conferences.

Subcommittee Named
To Consider Mead's
New u. 5. Pay Bill
Expected to Stort Work
This Week on Wartime
SoIory Increases
By J. A. O'LEARY.

A five-man subcommittee was
appointed last night by Chair
man DoWney of the Senate Civil
Service Committee to consider
the new wartime Government
pay bill. 1t probably will begin
work this week.
The subcommittee consists Of
Senator Mead, Democrat, of New
York, chairman, and Senators
George. Democrat. of Georgia: :
Scrugham. Democrat. of Nevada;
LANCER. Republican, of North Da-
kota, and Burton, Republican, of
Ohio.
Like the temporary law which
expires April 30, the new bill drawn
by Senator Mead a few days ago
would give overtime pay to the
great majority of employees for all
work beyond 40 hours a week, and
a fat percentage increase to those
whose work cannot be measured in
hours such as the legislative and
judicial branches.
Rates Would Be Higher.
Both the overtime and percentage
rates would be higher under the
new bill than under the temporary
act. passed in December to apply
until April 30.
With virtually all executive agen-
cles on a 46-hour week, the present
overtime plan results in an increase
OF e per cent in annual pay, using
a 360day work year as the basis for
figuring overtime. BY using 260 days
as the work-year for figuring over
time, the new bill would make the
increase 80 per cent above November
pay levels for 48-hour week.
For any agencies that may still be
on a 44-hOur week. the temporary
law means an increase of approx
mately 10 per cent, while the new
bill would be IS per cent.
For those to whom overtime rates
cannot be applied. the new bill
raises the fat percentage increase
from 10 to IS per cent.
Would Eliminate Ceiling.
As in the temporary law, the new
bill provides that all increases
overtime or fat percentage-bec COM
puted only on the first $4,000 of
a salary, The $1,000 ceiling would
be eliminated, however, so that a
person making 5000 a year could
get an increase as we'll as the one
getting $4,000. but only on 81 900 OF
the annual salary in any case.
No increases would be granted to
members of Congress or other elect
ed officials, judgse, heads OF depart
ments or agencies, field service of
the Post Office Department. or to
employees whose pay is adjusted by
wage boards.
A separate pay bill for the postal
service is expected to be brought out
by the Senate Post Office Commit
tee, Factors not applicable to other
departments affect the pay of postal
workers, such as mileage and local
post Office receipts.

House Group Defers
Action on Multiplying
Salary Ceiling Order
Grants Request Of
President to Present
Objections to Rider

House Ways and Means Com
mittee members, bordering the
question of multiplying President
Roosevelt's order limiting salaries
to $4,000 after taxes. yesterday
postponed a decision to give the
Chief Executive, at his request,
a chance to submit his views.
The committee deferred action un-
til next Saturday amid strong signs
that the move to erase the execu-
tive order by legisla ton would have
won a committee majority had it
been put to vote yesterday.
In letter to Chairman Doughton.
Mr.. Roosevelt expressed his earnest
hope that a pending bill to boost
the Nations debt limit to 100000
100000 would be passed without
amendment.
Offers to Confer.
The President said:
You have written me that there
is proposal before the Ways and
Means Committee to amend the
public debt bill by adding pro-
vision which in effect would nullify
the executive order issued by me
under the act of October 2, 1912,
limiting salaries to 5000 net after

submit any views with reference to
this proposal.
1T is my earnest hope that the
public debt bill can be passed with
out the addition of amendments not
related to the subject matter of the
bill. l believe it is of Importance
that this should be done. However,
should the committee think other
wise, I will later. in response TO
Your invitation, submit my views
as to the merits of the proposal
Offer Alternative.
Those advocating notification of
the salary limitation plan to tack it
on to the debt limit measure as a
rider, thus giving the President the
alternative of accepting both or
neither.
Meanwhile. considerable support
was gathering behind a compromise
proposal by Representative Disney,
Democrat, Of Oklahoma. which
would peg salaries in excess of s25,-
600, after taxes. to their level on
December T. 1912. Reasonable" in
creases would be permitted however.
All Republican members of the
committee are lined up behind the
move to wipe out the limitation.
Representative Gearhart, Republic
can, of California, emerged smiling
from yesterdays executive session of
the committee and told reporters:
We're closer together than ever
before. We're coming along all right.
We're getting more votes every day"
