Pledges amounting to $241 900
were reported by the Special
Gifts Division of the District Red
Cross campaign, at a meeting Of
campaign leaders today. This
sum represents 1712 per cent of
the District area goal of
$1,555, 400.
John J. Hasley, special gifts
chairman, said the $241 900 was re-
ported by four groups, as follows:
Ladies, $4,000; utilities, $4,000;
retail stores, $4,000, and news
papers, $4,000.
District Chapter Chairman John
Clifford Folger announced the re-
ceipt of gift OF $4,000 from the
International Business Machines
Corp. of New York, rendered
through Thomas J. Watson, presi-
dent, and Fred Nichols, executive
vice president. This contribution
was the largest single gift yet re-
ceived.
WISH 10 Arouse "c2ILnV.
Mr.. Hasley said that I'VE have a
fighting chance of going over the
top only If we can more thoroughly
arouse our wealthy citizens and
business institutions to the emer-
gency needs of the Red Cross this
year. He asked greater assistance
from the invested wealth group.
Campaign Chairman A. G. Neal,
president of the Potomac Electric
Co.: S. H. Kaufman of The Star,
and Francis G. Addison, president of
the Security Savings and Commercial
Bank, said they would ask their en-
ployes to make part-time payments
OF contributions in the hope of rails
ing three or four times as much
money by this means as was sub
scribed last year. Mr.. Kaufman
and Mr. Addison said their respec-
tive institutions would advance funds
to the Red Cross ito cover the total
pledges received from employees.
A suggestion made by Harry S.
Wender, president of the Federation
of Citizens Associations, that Fed
eral Government employees be per-
mitted to make part time payments
for their pledges, drew from Chair
man Folger statement that this
matter had been explored, but the
plan does not fit in with the national
Red Cross policy.
Commissioner Guy Mason, Lee D.
Butler, blood donor chairman, and
T. Moran McConihe, real estate
dealer, also spoke briefly.
Mr.. Butler said we have got to
have funds to expand the blood
donor service" adding that larger
quarters are needed becouse the
Navy Hospital site now being util-
| lied must be turned back to the
Navy for it's own use.
Mr.. McConihe, who had Just re-
turned from making blood dona-
ton, declared it would be horrible

Says Flyer Opposes

BY the Associated Press,

bS lne Associated Press.
Capt. Eddie Rickenbacker,
World War air ace, was described
alternately on the House floor
today as "lambasting labor from
hell to breakfast" and as a foe
only of labor racketeers.
Representative Cellar, Democrat,
of New York referred to the flyer
as ''lambasting" labor and said Capt.
Rickenbacker was mo Daniel come
to judgment" He added that
"absenteeism" was being used as "a
catch-all phrase" in an attack on
labor.
Thereupon, Representative Ran
kin, Democrat, Of Mississippi gained
the floor to assert that Eddie
Rickenbacker never attacked honest
labor, but he has attacked labor
racketeering that is slowing down
production and causing the death
OF our boys on the battlefronts Of
the world"
The Mississippian's statement
brought applause from both Demo-
Gratis and Republicans.
Representative Celler said he had
no sympathy for absenteeism, but
he told the House the incidence of
willful absences from work at war
plants was isolated and excep-
tional."
"On all Sides" he said, I'VE hear
charges against labor, but We hear
very little of what good work the

BY the Associated Press.
Following close on the OPA an
nOuncement of uniform retail
prices for pork, Secretary of Ag-
riculture Wickard issued three
orders today providing closer
control over the slaughter of
livestock and sale of meat.
Mr.. Wickard asserted his orders
would result in adequate supplies of
meats for direct war needs and
would bring about more equitable
distribution. The orders and the
pork price ceilings are designed to
prevent black market operations.
The Wickard orders:
l. All livestock slaughterers who
sell meat-including farmers and
local butchers-to operate under a
slaughter permit system, and, as an
aid to enforcement, to stamp their
permit number at least once on each
wholesale cut.
2. All livestock dealers to obtain
permits to buy and sell livestock and
to keep complete records of their
operations. Farmers are not re-
quired to obtain dealer permits, but
are asked to keep records of their
purchases and sales.)
3, All slaughterers operating un-
der Federal inspection to set aside
for war use specified percentages
of their nroductiops
The two permit orders become
effective April l, and the set-aside
order Immediately.
Mr.. Wickard cautioned slaugh-
terers against unduly large
slaughter between now and April,
saying any slaughter in excess of
present quotas would be deducted
from new quotas to be established.
"The new measures will not be a
cure-all for the defects in the pres
ent meat situation" Mr.. Wickard
said. They are part of the total
meat management program which
will include consumer rationing.

Amendments Added
In Subcommittee
To Clarity Measure
BY J. A. FOX.

A Senate Civil Service Subcom-
mittee today voted to report the
proposed liberalized war pay bill
to the full committee, after de-
Gliding on several amendments
which Chairman Mead said
would clarity and improve" the
measure.
The bill would raise the present
overtime rate from 216 to 80 per
cent for 48-hour week in the clas-

tive and judicial branches would be
included in this provision-a fiat Is

At the same time, however, it was

committee favor a fat Increase

employees and would limit the over
time payment to those workers
whose wages are fixed by wage
boards or other authorities.
Amendment Explained.
The full committee is scheduled
to consider the bill in about 10 days,
Senator Mead said after the execu-
tive session.
The most important of the
amendments adopted by the sub
committee would limit the payment
OF overtime to time actually

At present, employees on leave

has held also that the overtime rate
must be included as part of the base
pay OF employees.
Under this Interpretation persons
working only 40 hours draw some
overtime compensation. although
actually the premium pay of time
and one-half is not supposed to
apply until after 40 hours.
The new bill increases the over
time rate approximately 10 per cent
by figuring it on work year of $50
days rather than $50 days.
Coverage Enlarged.
One OF the amendments adopted
today specifies that employees paid on
a monthly or annual basis, and
whose wage is fixed by a board or
some other authority, are to be COW
