Probe Of 7 Issues
In Work Regulations
Ordered by Randolph

Chairman Randolph of the House
District Committee yesterday di-
rected his staff to make immediate
inquiries into two employment reg
ulation issues that arose recently.
One deals with the question as to
why honorably discharged war vet
Grams should be barred by regula-
tons of the ONCE of Defense Trans
portation from being granted taxi
cab licenses unless they were in the
cab business Immediately before
going to war.
The other issue relates to the
recent decision by the District
Minimum Wage Board holding, in
effect, that the packing of dough-
nuts is not essential to the war
effort. This case, forwarded to the
District Committee by the staff of
the Senate Small Business Com
mittee, centers on protest by the
Mayflower Doughnut Corp, which
operates a plant at 1909 F street
NV, against rejection of a petition
that girl packers" there be per-
mitted to work more than eight
hours in a day.
Needs Added Income.
Without judging the issues. Mr.
Randolph directed that letters be
sent to the ODT and the Minimum
Wage Board asking for full infor-
nation and reasons for the decisions
On the taxicab license case, Mis-!
Cordelia p. Key had protested tn.
refusal Of taxi permit to a dis.
charged soldier who had suffered q
head injury and did not feel able
to take full time job but who sale
he needed to supplement- his dis.
ability pension with earnings from
part time taxi driving.
Chairman James H. Flanagan OF
the Public Utilities Commission re-
ported that under ODT rules few
new licenses had been issued since
September, /. 1912, since the Federal
agency had restricted licenses to
those persons engaged in the taxi
business on that date and to per-
sons who had purchased or succeed
to the business of one so engaged
This rule was relaxed last July q
to permit licenses to be given tc
honorably discharged veterans who
owned or operated cabs Immediately
before their entry into the armed
| forces. Such licenses are non-trans-
ferable.
Workers Favor Overtime.
In the case of the doughnut
packers, j. Anthony Marcus, eco
nomic consultant to the Senate
Small Business Committee, wrote
to Mr.. Randolph that the union
and the female workers favored
overtime work, that the work is
easy" and only for five days a
week and that at most the girls
would not be working more than SO
hours week. Contending that the
stand of the board was devoid of
common sense, Mr. Marcus declared
the entire population of the Dis
trict is engaged in the war effort
The company argued that the
alternative to working more than
eight hours a day would be to hire
additional help or second shift
which it said would be an eco
nomic waste" The overtime work
it was said, was intended only fol-
| the winter season

These represented barbS 500

which might be stabbed into the
side of German forces reported
tanning the roads in flight from
the Falaise pocket, now rapidly
dwindling.
With but one good bridge
available for flight over the
Seine the shift>of the German
retreat toward Rouen was taken
TO mean that their escape route
10 Paris already had been
closed, and that the Seventh
Army was unable 10 defend
Paris.
Along with the reported
neFthwafd turn of Patton S
forces, the whole Allied line in
the Cacn area TO the west began
moving TO the northeast toward
lie Havre and the mouth of the
Seine, 80 miles away. From
there a stab might be made to-
ward the rocket bomb coast.
Canadians virtually sawed off
the FalaiSe pocket by stabbing
to within two miles Of Cham
bois, seven miles northeast Of
Argentan and nine miles west Of
GAGE.
These attacks by British, Ca
nadianS, Poles, Belgians and
Dutch had the effect of lengthen-
ing the narrow funnel through
which the Germans were at
tempting to escape.
Lifting clouds allowed air
forces to strike at the Germans
at will as they tried to cross the
Seine and they smashed al
bargeS massed for a small scale
"Dunkerque" across the river.
British troops advanced four
to six miles beyond Troarn
along the Normandy coast to-
ward lie Havre, taking Vara-
vile, four miles beyond the
Orne and two miles from the
coast and three other villages,
st. Julien, LIE Faucon and Ecots.
Poles, advancing six miles
northeast out of Trun, captured
Les Champeaux, while the Ca
nadians pushing southeast out
of Trun approached Chambois.
