RULES REVISED
 ON DOUBLE TIME
 ON SEVENTH DAY

WASHINGTON, Jan. 29 = In a revised interpretation of the Presi- dents order on double time, the Secretary of Labor ruled that pay ment of double time rates is not required on a seventh consecutive day of work if the employe gets a day of in each work week.
 An employe, as an extreme ex- ample, could work as many as twelve consecutive days without getting double time Under such a schedule he would be idle the first day of the work week, work the re- maining six days of that week, then work the first six days of the succeeding week and take the sev- enth day off. Under such sched- ule the employer need not pay double time because the employe gets one day of in each work week. A work week consists of seven days starting with the same calendar day each week.
 Under the old interpretation, double time pay was required for any seventh consecutive day un- less some other schedule mutually satisfactory to employer and em- ploye was worked out.

WASHINGTON, June 6. - Six foot-two Jesse Jones, Administra- ton Banker and Vice President Henry A. Wallace, apparently were only warming up in a week long verbal slugginS match appraisal of each other. A new high was reach ed in recrimination when Jones, ac- cusing Wallace of holding up Board Economic Warfares purchases of strategic war materials, opened up both barrels last night and used 7500 words to tell what he thinks about Wallace and none were com plimentary.
 In Wallace's absence, his second, Milo Perkins, took up the cudgels and shot back at Jones and his Reconstruction Finance Corpor- ation, which he said acted like sleepy Rip Van Wrinkle.
 Both addressed statements to the Senate Appropriations Committee and Senator Bridges demanded Congress ought to find out who is right"

WASHINGTON, July G. - The leadership of the United Mine Workers admonishes all members to return to work because there is nothing to be gained" by continu- ing striking, and the war cannot be won without an adequate supply of coal" Thousands are still report ed to be off the job in various coal fields.
 The leading editorial in the UNIV Journal says.
 By returning to work, mine workers are not forfeiting collec- tive bargaining or the right to ne- gotiate wage agreements with the operators of coal mines embodying the portal to portal pay and other benefits.
 Certainly under these conditions the coal miners have nothing to lose by their resumption of work and until such time as a satisfac- tory agreement can be reached or the Policy Committee calls a meet ing to again canvass the situation to determine the further course oi action

The W ashington Merry Go Round
By DREW PEARSON tMajor Robert 8. Allen on active duty)

WASHINGTON. = Most impor- tant subterranean leak to come from Republican cloak-rooms of late is the decision of Philadelphia S powerful COP Boss Joe Pew to groom Justice Owen J. Roberts of the U. S. Supreme Court for the presidency.
 Pew is reported by close friends to have finally decided to throw his millions behind his fellow Phil adelphian Roberts as the ideal choice for the Republican Party and the only man who could defeat Roosevelt, should he run for a fourth term.
 Pew, who controls the Sun Oil and Sun Ship millions, has not been renowned for his success as a political picker in the past. Nevertheless, his political influence in Pennsylvania-a highly impor- tant key state-is now greater than that of any other man, and his power inside COP smoke-filled councils is not to be sneezed at
 Pew was not too enthusiastic a Willkie man at the last COP con- vention in Philadelphia, and has not been since. However, his groom ing of Justice Roberts, according to friends, is not aimed entirely at blocking Willkie.
 He figures that the COP con- vention is likely to reach a dead- lock between Willkie and Dewey, and that a safe, sound middle-of- the-road candidate will then be needed to step in.
 In the opinion of Joe Pew, Jus tice Roberts fills that role. He has supported the Presidents foreign policies, has cooperated with the White House in probing the Pearl Harbor scandal, and was not as much of a bitter-ender as other Republican Supreme Court justices in opposing New Deal philosophies. Roberts is also forceful speaker, tall, handsome, and should be a good campaigner.
 From a physical viewpoint his only handicap is his age.
