Senate Action Due
Today on Compromise
Overtime Bill
Quick Approval Expected
To Send Measure to
House for EnrIv Pnssone
House for Early Passage

The Senate Is scheduled to act
today on the compromise wartime
pay bill for Federal and District
employees, agreed on by conferees
for both houses Wednesday and due
to become effective May /.
With prompt Senate approval ex-
pected, the agreement will then go
to the House for concurrence as
soon as it can be called up.
For most OF the per annum en-
ployes in executive departments and
independent agencies, the bill re-
tains the basic principle of a 216
per cent overtime raise for 48-
hour week, in effect since December.
1t has been liberalized, however,
to give a fiat $500 to those in the
low brackets, for whom the ZIG per
cent rate would amount to less. It
also permits overtime increases be-
tween the $4,000 and $4,000 salary
levels, but computed only on the
first $1,000.
The overtime is not on a time
and-a-half rate, and, since it is ac-
companied by 20 per cent longer
week. its supporters point out, it
Is only slightly more than straight
time for overtime.
In the legislative and judicial
branches or wherever work cannot
be measured for overtime, the new
bill gives a fiat $500 on all salaries
under $4,000 and a Is per cent rise
on salaries of $4,000 or over in this
group. At present the non-overtime
groups get a fiat 10 per cent. The
bill would continue until June 80,
1915, though Congress could repeal
it sooner if the war ends.

The Board of Economic Warfare
is looking into pair of fancy pants
right off one of Der Fuehrer's u
boats.
They're the waterproof jeans of
a German submarine officer who
was taken prisoner by the Navy
during an engagement in the Medi-
terranean, and BEW is giving them
the double-O in an effort to learn
something of how things are going
economically in the Reich.
They're mighty swanky pair of
britches-made of chrome-tanned
sheepskin leather-and BEW esti-
mates they'd cost $50 to $40 in this
country.
Government experts cannot say
whether all the U-boat bosses are

there is some evidence that the
pants were made back in 1939-be-
