Jill grew up in Los Angeles. At II. she set

Henry Back
On Payroll
Of Nation

WASHINGTON, March 2 -
(P-Forty days and 40 nights
of wandering in the political
desert end today for Henry
Agard Wallace.
He goes back on the govern
ment payroll at $4,000 year
as Secretary of Commerce. He
left it Jan. 20 when his four
years as Vice President expired.
The Senate, which confirmed
him yesterday, gave him only
half loaf. But Wallace himself
said half is better than none.
He'll takes the oath today from
Supreme Court Justice Hugo l..
Black.
In his new job Wallace won't
have anything to do with the
Federal lending agencies, which
his predecessor, Jesse Jones, su-
pervised.
The Senate spent just two
hours In debate yesterday be-
fore voting, Sc to 80, for its for
mer presiding officer.
For a discussion about Wal
lace, it was pretty dull, COM
pared to the fireworks the SUBJ
ject has engendered in the past.
The reason is simple the
prime opposition folded up as
soon as legislation removing the
big money agencies from the
Commerce Department became
law.

There were few last gasps
that Wallace wasn't the man
even to run the weather bureau,
the geodetic survey and other
such that make up the trimmed
down department.
Senator Wiley (R-Wis) said
he thinks Wallace is a "hokum
boy" There weren't a dozen
Senators around, however, to
pay any attention.

Senatorial Brides
Believed Necessary

MASON, Mich, March 2-(P)
Testimony that officers OF the
American Naturopathic Associa-
ton of Michigan knew their
lobbyist was bribing legislators
was in the record today of the
Naturopath graft conspiracy
trial in Ingham county circuit

c. B. Mcdonald, B o n

Kalamazoo, three naturopaths

HONOLULU, March 2 up
- The barefooted girls who
swish through the romantic hula
dance, overlooked up to now in
the governments wage fixing
program, have at last caught the
eye of the War Labor Board.
The WLB has undertaken the
solemn task of deciding who is
a good dancer, who is only fair
and setting the price per hour
the girls should get for their
graceful convolutions.
Right now wages range from a
minimum of 81 an hour up to
$40 for half an hour. That's tops.
What the wage scale will look
like after the WLB finishes its
scientific studies of hip swing
ing is something no member
would guess beforehand.
The pay for hula dancers came
before the WLB in the regular
course of business. The board
tackled the job with all the en-
thusiasm of fixing minimum
wages for dock workers.
The Bureau Of Labor Stats
tics took the first step in the
field of determining the finan-
cial value of grass skirted ro-
nance and submitted a job and
wage analysis, just like it does
for truck drivers or any other
workers. It divided hula dancers
into two classes: Hula Dancer,
Glass A, Female, and Hula
Dancer, Glass B., Female
The Bureau described a Hula
Dancer, Glass A, Female, as:
