Harness Asks Hershey
To Appeal Deferment
Of Fortas, Keyser|ing
Indiana Representative
Opposes Exemption Of
Two U. S. Officials
BY the Associated Press.

by lQe ASSOCldUeu FTeSS.
Representative Harness, Repub-
lican, of Indiana has proposed that
Selective Service Director Lewis B.
Hershey appeal from decisions of
Washington local draft boards de-
ferring two top men in a pair of
governmental agencies.
The officials are Undersecretary of
the Interior Abe Fortas, who, Mr..
Harness said yesterday, was de-
ferred when President Roosevelt de-
clined to accept his resignation, and
Leon H. Keyserling, general counsel
of the National Housing Agency.
MIR. Keyserling, Mr. Harness wrote
Gen. Hershey, was deferred at the
request of his employing agency.
Neither man, Mr.. Harness said,
has ever offered claim of depend
ency and both are well within the
age for military service.
In the case of Mr.. Keyserling, he
suggested that review of the case
on appeal may develop evidence
that this agency has not made and
is not making proper effort to find
replacements for employees eligible
for military service"
AS to Mr.. Fortas, he said a review
probably will develop the fact that
the Presidents action Tin refusing
his resignation has established a
precedent which has been followed
here and which local draft boards
consider themselves bound to follow
in all similar cases"

$4,440,o00 a Month
Raises Authorized
By WLB in May
Ceilings Changed in Only
8 Of 5000 Decisions,
Chairman Davis Reports
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
The War Labor Board reported
today that during April its decisions
had resulted in monthly payroll
increase of S4,440,00O ION the basis
of a 48-hour week. which was 0.07
per cent of the total monthly wage
and salary bill for agricultural
workers.
The report, sent to the Senate,
was accompanied by letter in
which WLB Chairman William H.
Davis said only 8 out of 5000 de-
cisions between october and March
resulted in price ceiling changes.
The proportionate effect of the
boards decisions on price ceilings
remained about the same during the
month of April" Mr.. Davis said.
The April decisions included II
cases involving wage disputes and
$3.50 cases involving voluntary ap-
plicationS for wage or salary ad-
iustment, the chairman wrote.
Mr.. Davis said also that the av-
erage increase approved a worker
ranged from one-half cent an hour
in two cases involving 825 workers
to II cents an hour in one case
involving IS workers. The average
increase in straight time hourly
earnings was 62 cents an hour.
The weighted average increase in
straight time rates for 96.27O work.
ers in Al cases in which general
increases were granted was 5.3 cents
an hour.
April adjustments approved by
the board, he added, were concen-
trated among relatively loW-paid
employees with nearly one fourth
of the cases concerning workers
whose earnings were less than so
cents an hour, and hree-fourths
OF the cases in which increases were
approved affecting employees whose
stralght-tlme hourly earnings were
less than 80 cents an hour. This
compares, he said, with the average
Of 81 cents an hour straight time
hourly earnings of all manufacturing
employees in March.
Mr.. Davis noted that one April
case which involved $1,000 workers
IN the dress manufacturing indus
try in New York accounted for 56
per cent Of the total number of
persons involved in cases in which
wage disputes were the issue.

At Wayne u.

Wayne university announces the
creation OF the Wayne University
Program OF Studies for Organ zed
Labor.
Organized labor itself has an
overwhelming voice in the admin
isirs,ion OF the program. The Ad-
visory committee is the governing
board and is made up Of three rep
rescnistives from the Wayne Coun-
~ Federation Of Labor; three from
The Wayne County Council ot the
clio, and three from Wayne uni
verslty. The AT OF l.. representa-
ives are Robert Holmes, George
Bcris and DR. Frank Okisvec. The
clio is represented BY Shelton

Smith, Dr. Flint Purdy. head librar-
ian and Dean Don S. Miller.
The policies OF the committee are
carried on; by the coordinator. DR..
HARRISON B. Pagan. who also acts
as secretary OF the Advisory COM
mittce.
The general objective OF the pro-
gram is 10 permit Wayne university
and the public school system gen.
orally 10 serve organized labor as
fully and completely as they serve
nc needs Of other groups. This can
be done only il organized labor gen
orally will cooperate with The Ad-
vlsory committee in bringing TO
the surface the educa, Ional needs
and wishes q, its members.

any worker is eligible 10 take the
courses offered by the program.
These courses may also be used TO
complete high school courses, and
for college credit whenever the stu
dent has met the general require
mr,s for college entrance.
Most Of the courses will probably
be given at Wayne university. but
they nav also be given at various
places throughout the city
The cost Of the courses will be the
same ss for regular college work.
For example. a l.hour course taken
for a. full semester OF eighteen
weeks costs Sc 20. A l-hour course

proxmately one-fourth as much.
Teachers will be selected from
the teaching stan Of Wayne univcr-
sity. from teachers in the public
school system. from qualified teach
crs from labor EXAMINATIONS. and
frrutntly from the faculties Of other
educational institutions, All teach
