WAGES, HOURSLAW RULED APPLICABLE
Circuit Court Revises Rul- ing in Ohio Appeals
 Case Today

Cincinnati. O., April S--(UP)-- The regulations of the wage and hour law apply to employees of com panies working on government con- tracts, the sixth U. s. circurt court of appeals ruled today in reversing a lower court recision.
 Application of the fair labor standards act and the 4O-hour week is especially important at this time, since most concerns are en- gagged on government contracts" the court said.
 The appellate courts opinion stated it was clearly not the intent of Congress in passing the act in 1888 to exclude employees on govern- ment contracts.
 The appellate court remanded to the U. s. district court at Memphis. Tenn. for a new trial the case of the wages and hours division against the Patton-Tully Transportation O., Memphis.
 Judge Marion s. Boyd. Memphis. held on May g, 1942, that employees engaged in construction of dikes and other improvements on the Mississippi and Missouri rivers un- der government contract were not subject to the act. Judge Boyd dis missed the case against the Mem- phis company.

The new classification SD a for single or married men whose Induction would create greater herdships for dependents, was one Of the reports that came from Washington today.
 The chairmen of the local draft boards issued the following state- uaent Co newsmen today which con- eefns the new countrywide re- DIaszltlcation program:
 Many draft boards are in the procoss of reclaSsifying their regis- trantS The changes in clasSifica- ton should he correctly made and ln order to have them correct they must he based upon accurate in- formation as to the situation of each registrant.
 Many registrants have failed to report changes of employment and changes in the size of their fam illes. It is of the utmost import ance that each registrant see to it that the information in the hands of the draft board Is up to date and accurate.
 It Is up to each registrant within the next few days to bring his draft board up to date on changes of employment and family status. This should be done in writing to the draft board. A registrant can obtain from the draft board Form q, which he may easily complete and return.
 It is equally important for the employers to know of any changes of classification and for this pur- pose Form 42-B is available to all employers. It would be desirable for each employer to fill out such a form for his employees under 45 years of age. These forms are so arranged that when there is a change of classification, notice thereof will be given to the employer by the draft board. If each em- ployer would cooperate in this re- spect, he would know of any loss of manpower well in advance of date of induction,

''Our Span OF Life"
Speedometer on Auto Serves as Warning That Old Man Jinx or Grim Reaper Awaits Just Around the Corner - Safety Expert
 Sounds Warning

Autoists are warned to observe the warning signals of their speedo- meter to avoid accidents and high- way tragedies in today's appeal for careful driving by Patrolman Will liam Dwyer, safety instructor of the Waterbury Police Department.
 The latest in his series of articles reads as follows:
 T like to compare the speedo- meter on the automobile with our age, our life span, and the clock ticking away the time. The speedo- meter on the car has reading up to one hundred miles per hour or better, our life span sometimes reaches that figure although it is by far the exception rather than the rule. As We travel along in our car let us remember that the higher the speedometer reading the greater the chances are for an accident of a serious nature to happen.
 When we keep the reading be- tween fifteen and thirty-flve there is a good chance that we can stop our car in most emergencies. not all of them to be sure, as it takes longer time to stop a car than most of us realize. So too, with our age, when we are between fifteen and thirty five years of age we can generally take care of any emergency that may arise. but from there on we find it more and more difficult as our age increases. When we reach the age of fifty-five or sixty we are going into the danger zone so far as physical alertneSs to the dangers of today is concerned. And if we de- eide to push our car up to fifty five or sixty miles per hour then We are also in the danger zone so far as our ability to stop the car in time to prevent an accident is concerned.
 It is very easy to travel at a fast rate of speed without realizing it in the late model cars with their high powered motors. If you are riding in the front seat with driver that is going little too fast for safety, it is easy enough for you to glance at the speedometer and call his atten- tention to the rate of speed that he is travelling. Sort of back seat driv- ing in the front, but I think a great many accidents have been averted through the medium of the second driver in the car.
 Drastic cuts in the speed limits have been made in the interest of gas preservation, the saving of rub- Der, etc; but the important factor, that of saving lives, was mentioned
