HOURS PER WEEK
Nevada State JournaD

Nevada State JournaD
War workers must put in AZ hours per
week ii production schedules are to be
met and the manpower problem solved,
in the opinion of Paul McNutt. manpoW-
er chief. He said so yesterday at press
conference, indicating that at last those
who hold top positions i'm the nation $
war effort and also belong to the group
OF reformerS who think that some mir
acle will produce war materials and other
materials without work, are willing to
admit that the 40-hour week is menace
to national security.
McNutt, who is not quite as visionary
as several of his buddies in the social Sc
curity bureau, was handed tough job
by the President, when he was placed in
charge of the war manpOWer commS-
sion, and he is beginning to see the light.
Of course McNutt made it very plain
that the 40-hour week, in his opinion,
should measure the wages OF war work
ers, and that overtime should be paid tor
any time more than 40 hours. That opin-
ion is widely held and of course is debat-
able. but the fact remains that regardless
of pay. as long as the 40-hOur week re-
mains in the law as the measure of a
weeks work it will be impossible to in
crease the work week to an average of AZ
hours.
Workmen in thousands upon thousands
of instances do not want overtime pay
and they will not work more than 40
hours because the law says 40 hours con-
stitute weeks work They would rather
go fishing on the extra day and they do
go fishing.
Mr. McNutt faces the task Of supply
ing manpOWer for many industries and
he has a great reservoir to draw from If
he and officials of the labor department
and others high up in the affairs of gov
mand a revision of the 40-hour law for
the duration of the war. Congress will
not act if the administration is not suffi-
GENTLY interested to back congress.

CAP OR EGG GIVES
WAY TO TRENTHAM

Except by some unforseeable fluke OF
fate Mack Trentham will be the next
director Of the Imperial Irrigation Dis
trict from the Second Division.
He will, we are sure, be good direc-
tor. We hope he will be as able as con-
scientious and as honorable as the man
he replaces w J. Cap Gregg.
Even in the illness which forced HIM
to abandon his reelection campaign, and
urge through his wife that his supporters
vote for Trentham, Gregg demonstrated
the same unselfishness which has made
him such a valuable member Of the dis
trict board His friends, and his polltl-
cal oppOnents-he has no other kind that
we know of-join in regret at his illness
and in the hope for a speedy and COM
plete recovery.
In voting for Trentham, however, cleo
tors of the second division need not teel
that they are taking second choice. lren-
than has long been known as level
headed farmer, man of good common
sense and immune to the petty partisan
ship which can be so destructive to
busnesslike program He can be counted
upon, we believe, to endorse a program
if it is good and to oppose it if it is bad.
basng his action entirely upon the merits
of the case. No more could be asked of
any man.
To sum it up, residents of the second
division are sorry they are losing the
services of Cap Gregg; he has been as
good director as anyone could ask. But
they are glad that, since they must lose
Gregg, there is a man of Trentham's
ability to step into the job.
We are satisfied that there need be no
pause in the progress of the irrigation
district toward a greater deVelopmnt
for the valley.

GOVERNOR WARREN
KEEPS HIS PLEDGE

Governor Earl WarrenS newly an
nounced state budget, representing re-
duction of SO million dollars under last
biennium's budget, and 0O,0OO,OO0
under that of 1939-41, is the best proof
the people could ask that their new gov
ernor intends to keep the campaign prom
ises he made them.
The reduction will be particularly well
come to the people of California at this
time, when they face a drastically in
creased federal tax load which everyone
recognizes is entirely necessary.
1t should be pointed out that another
type of governor-the type We had until
recently for instance-could have found
numerous excuses for not reducing the
budget, or at least for not reducing 1t so
drastically. Had Warren wished merely
to make good impression, he could have
made some comparatively minor reduc-
tions, and still retained vast amount
of money to be spent in purely political
channels, II strengthen himself with the
politicians
The new budget is not gesture. 1t IS
a real effort toward economy. 1t recog-
nizes the popular demand for close cur
tailment Of all non-War expenditures, for
absolute economy in governmental activl-
ties which during normal times might
be considered essential, and for nOn-poll-
tica spending.
Warren will make some enemies
through this budget. State expenditures
cannot be curtailed so drastically with
out taking away some of the patronage
the politicians have counted upon. Their
complaints will not be heard Immediate
ly they may not complain at all against
the budget. They are too smart for that.
Nevertheless, they will be laying for
Warren, planning to get" him at the
first opportunity. AS long as his enemies
are of this sort, the people will be salts
fled.

WATCH THOSE COUPONS

Gasoline consumers as we'll as offend
ing service station operators can be pros
ecuted for illegal use of gas ration cou-
pons.
"If the public is wondering if prosecu-
tions are likely-the answer is yes.
warns the Office of Price Administra-
ton.
Cashing loose coupons is a federal Of
Tense. And if gasoline books are found
with invalid stamps missing, they are
liable to be revoked by the OPA.
Recently, in neighbOring community
the enforcement division of the OP A trac-
ed down 20 gasoline consumers who had
cashed No coupons before the No.
deadline last Jan. p. Blame in this
instance, the OPA says, must be shared
by both the consumer and the gasoline
statesmen.
In some cases, customers have been
known to have forced the operators to
take No. coupons before they were
valid by threatening to take their busi-
ness elsewhere. In other cases, the m
valid coupons were taken by mistake or
through carelessness.
At any rate, motorists have been given
ample notice that their next deadline to
watch on gasoline stamps is March Il,
when Stamp becomes invalid. 1t looks

ficerS who captured him, it was
learned today.
Won Drebber said many German
officers decided it was futile to
keep fighting after the Red army
closed the trap around them at Stall
ingrad. I'VE believe further reSis-
tance was SenseleSs and criminal,
Won Drebber said, but the fuehrer
did not take our opinion into con-
Sideration."
Front dispatches reported that
Field Marshal Friedrich Won PauluS,
German communicating chief of the
Stalingrad sector, was captured
south of the Tzaritza river shortly
before 3 am. Sunday. There was no
news as to his present whereabouts.
A correspondent of the newspaper
Pavda gave this description of the
surrender of Won Drebber.
German officers of all ranks filed
out of a dugout outside Stalingrad.
A Russian colonel was waiting for
them. Won Drebber sent ENJOYS to
the colonel, and one of the German
officers said:
Maj. Gen. Moritz Won Drebber is
ready to lay down his arms before
his conqueror and wishes to be in
