Federal Pay Bill
Gets OK. From
HouseGroup
Provides More
Overtime Than
Senate Measure
BY JOSEPH YOUNG.

A liberalized Federal pay bill pro.
vlding regular time and hall
overtime payment for Government
employees in addition to overall 15.s
per cent basic increases has beer
favorably reported by the House
Civil Service Subcommittee.
Reported out late yesterday, the
measure is more generous than the
Senate-passed bill which provided
for only time-a twelfth over
time provisions. Otherwise the bills
are almost identical.
Representative jackson, Demo-
crat, of Washington, chairman of
the House Subcommittee who in
troduced the measure in the House
said he would introduce new bill
IN few days and then send the
legislation to the regular House
Civil Service Committee. The many
amendments tackled on to the orig
tnal bill during the executive ses-
sions makes it more convenient to
introduce new bill embodying the
amendments, Mr.. Jackson said.
Must Settle Differences.
When the House action on the
legislation, members of the House
and Senate will have to meet to
settle the differences in overtime
payments provided in the two bills.
The House committee adopted in
Its entirety the basic wage increase
schedule provided in the Senate
measure. Under the schedule, en-
ployes in the lower income groups
will get greater percentage share
of the overall 1873 per cent in
creases.
Those eligible to receive time-and-
a-half payments for time worked
after 40 hours include workers earn
ing up to s2,98O, according to pro-
visions of the House bill. Those
making basic salaries above this will
receive overtime pay, but at reduced
compensation similar to the rates
now in effect.
The Senate overtime provisions
apply to workers making up to
$4,000 a year, before the sliding
scale of compensation is adopted.
Expect Overtime Cut.
Mr.. Jackson said the committee
has good reason to believe" there
will shortly be a reduction of over
time worked in Government agen-
cies. Other members of the COM
mittee indicated this was one of the
reasons why the true time e-and-a-
half provision was adopted.
The House group was also more
generous to legislative and judicial
employees. Where the Senate bill
gives these employees a total payment
over regular salary of % per cent,
the House measure provides for 25
per cent payment. This includes the
basic Is per cent increase given all
Federal employees under the CLASH
fication Act, in addition to the 10
per cent payment in lieu of overtime.
Other provisions of the Senate bill
adopted by the House group are:
Ten per cent pay differential for
night Government employees; accel-
Grated within-grade promotions, re-
ducing the waiting periods from 18
and 80 months to IL and 18 months.
The House measure also provided
that servicemen returning to Gov
ernment service should be credited
with the time they have been away
toward receiving promotions

ON SPORT TO
 CONTINUE
Secretary Stimson Sees No End 10 Problem with
 German Defeat

WASHINGTON, March 2-Gov- ernment sources exploded any like lihood that the transportation and manpower pinch on sports might be eased when Germany is beaten, It was made clear the official be- lief is that war needs in those fields will remain at the peak until Japan is crushed
 The continuing criGcal situation with regard to transportation and manpower may cause such late season sports as football to be affected also, according to official expression.
 Sports leaders generally had felt that the defeat of Germany would solve some problems, but Secretary of War Henry L. Stimson said that when hostilities cease in Europe, the War Department intends to marshal against Japan every sol dier and every item of equipment that can be used effectively to speed final victory"
 Any suggestion that large num- bers of servicemen will be coming home on discharges" would only lead to cruel disappointment" the secretary declared.

TOWNS PREPARE FOR
GENERAL AIR TRAVEL
BY CREATING PORTS

The bottle neck for expanding use
of air transportation after the war
may be the lack of airports and
landing strips in or near small cities
and towns. Many of the smaller
places are already acquiring land
and even building air fields in an
ticipation of the time when people
will be hopping in and out by scores
and even hundreds.
Charles King of Helena, CAA dis
trict supervisor for Montana and
Idaho, discussed the subject at the
meeting Tuesday of the Laurel Ro-
tary club. He, like others, visioned
the time in the near future when
there will be many privately owned
planes. Extension of commercial
transport lines to small towns was
considered possible and even prob
able.
King said he was no more a
prophet than anyone else about
what aviation will do after the war,
but he expected airplanes to enter
civilian life on a scale never before
known. Air fields may become as
necessary as parking lots.
Such an idea is widespread and
big towns and little towns through
out his district are trying to pre-
pare for the new means of general
travel, King said. The ports are
being built in town, at the outskirts
and as far away as five miles. King
seemed to think five miles should
be the limit of distance, although
there are instances where the dist
ance isgreat er. A landing strip
should be from half mile to a
mile in length and should head into
The prevailing wind.
The speaker was introduced by
R. B. Packard, June program COM
mittee member.
