IPACE BILL IS | RECOMMHTED.
Victory for Administra- tiOn; Congress Warned
 on Bill

Washington, March 26-UPl-- The senate by voice vote today re- committed the Pace bin, which would include farm labor costs in the farm parity formula to the Agriculture committee for further study.
 The action was Q victory for the administration, which felt that the Pace bill would be Q threat to It's economic stablliEation program.
 Price Administrator Prentiss M, Brown had warned congressional leaders yesterday that enactment of the bill and the Bankhead measure forbidding. deduction of federal benefit payments in computing par ity, would add more than S3,750,- 100000 to the nations annual food bill and invite destruction of the Little Steel" wage ceiling formula.
 Although the house approved Pace bill had commanded extensive support among senators earlier, there wasn't a dissenting vote on the motion to send tt back to com mittee.
 . The action was taken after Com mittee Chairman Ellison D. Cotton Ed" Smith said he was willing to hold detailed hearings on It's merits,
 Smiths statement followed pleas by Sens. Sheridan Downey, D., Calf: Carl A. Hatch, D, N. M., and James J. Davis, R., Pa, for further study of the measure. Downey, how ever, described as silly" Browns estimate of the cost-increasing 'ef- feet of the bill
 One of the prime objections voiced to the bill yesterday by opponents was that the senate agriculture committee sent 1t to the senate floor without hearings to determine what impact 1t would have on the na- tional economy.
 Smith said that when hearings on the bill begin-at an unspecifled time representatives of farm groups, senators and all other in- terested persons will be accorded an opportunity to present their views.
 Meanwhile, administration leaders saw in President Roosevelt's ap- pointment of Chester c. Davis as food administrator a possible solu- tion of the farm price controversy.

prising that the total number of deaths which occurred in hospitals, about 480,O0O Q year. constitute one- third of the total deaths in the country. This proportion varies widely for individual causes. ''It is particularly high," says the statis- ticians. flor conditions requiring surgery, reaching a maximum of 88 per cent for fatal cases of ap- pendicitis all too often the re- suit of bringing the patient to the hospital too late. The figure for motor vehicle accidents also is large Indicating the frequency with which severely injured persons are brought to a hospital in an effort to save their lives.
 But the modern hospital is much more than a place for the care of the sick" add the statisticians. "It has become the strategic center for the study of disease in all its mani- festations. for the development of new methods of diagnosis and treat ment. It Is likewise the center for undergraduate and post -gradu- ate medical and nursing educa- ton and for medical social service.
 'In these critical war days" con- clude the statisticians. "our hospi- tals occupy a position of importance as never before. Today, especially, they are working under most diffi- cult conditions owing to the with drawal of doctors and nurses from civilian practice and to the short- age of personnel and materials. Many special problems in war medi- cine are receiving study in our hos pital laboratories. In view of the present difficulties faced by hos pitals, it is clear that we must ad- just our wartime demands on them to the end that they may continue to contribute effectively to the na- ions health. While this may in- vOlve certain inconveniehces to the public, they will be cheerfully borne so that patients in most need of hospital services can get them."

MOTHERS SHOULD
 REMAIN AT HOME
Dr Cunningham Expresses Opinion on Cases InvOIv.
 ing Small Children

Women with infant children should be discouraged from doing var work, declares pr. James M. Cunningham in the recent bulletin of the Connecticut State Depart naent of Health.
 ''As long as other resources of man power are available this group 0f women should not be encouraged to leave their homes for the fac- tory" he asserted.
 It is realized, of course, that there are some women with infants who win of necessity have to work, he pointed out. However, 1t is good for neither the mother nor the chil- dren, and where such necessity does exist. arrangements should be avail able for adequate care of the chil- dren. he said.
 what has been said for mother of infants applies only in less dee gree for mother of pre-school chil- dren. Pre-school children can be taken care of in day care centers much better than can infants, but there will be many days when the child. because of illness, cannot go to the center, and such mothers will be obliged to remain away from work to look after them.
 "Childhood is the period in which experiences have the most lasting effect 30 far as future mental, as well as physical, health is concerned. There are some experiences as Q reult of the war which are good for children. They have to take more responsibility for themselves; they haVo to think of other members of the family. Many of the war activ- ities. such as collecting scrap, war saving stamps. messenger service in civil defense organizations, helping with crops contribute to the devel- opment of independence and self reliance"

Names of oil dealers who have not accounted for I. O. us will be submitted to the OPA enforcement section for investigation, it has been revealed by Fred A. Webb, local fuel oil ration administrator. A clearance of LOU. slips represent ing 48,534 gallons of oil has resulted from a check-up conducted by the ration board, and further action to obtain required clearance will be taken, it was indicated.
 Next year consumers will not be allowed to turn in coupons in ad- vance. the ration administrator stated. The operation of the sys- tenn this winter has created con- siderable confusion, with dealers and retailers blaming one another for lack of clearance of the I. O. U. slips.

TIME AND HALF
new YEAR'SDAY
Sam Holds Sway Christ
mas Day for War Work.
ers Says Labor Atty

Employees engaged in war work
on Christmas or New Years days
must be paid time and half, but
not more, under Executive Order
9240 which governs the overtime and
premium pay practices for "all work
relating to the prosecution of the
war" George H. Foley, regional
attorney of the U. S. Department
of Labor, said today.
While the order requires only time
and one-half for these and four
other designated holidays, it also
specifies that double time must be
paid for any seventh consecutive
day worked in the regularly sched-
uled workweek. In computing week.
ly total, a designated holiday counts
as one day worked, whether or not
work is actually performed that
day. But where either of these Sat-
urday holidays is the seventh day
of an established workweek and no
work is performed that day, no
double time is due under the order.
If employees work five days in
workweek prior to these Saturday
holidays and then have one or both
off, their compensation for
holiday time not worked will de-
pend upon the parties contract or
the custom at that particular place.
