of South st. Paul, filed suits in Unit
ed States Court here today against
their employers demanding $5,000,-

The 321 employees claim that from
October %, 1889. they we're forced
to change clothes on their own time
and likewise rechange clothes on
time for which they were not paid.
This took one hour per day, the
complaint asserts.
The suit is brought under section
216-B of the Fair Labor Standards
act of 1888 in which employees are
allowed time and half for hours
which exceed specified work week.
The employees asked $4,000, 900 for

The impact Of the shelling and

the shelling was worse than the un-

from Cavite with the long-range

great damage to our installations in
the bay. But their 240-mm. how

something else. They made our lives
a hell.
The Bataan Peninsula is covered
with dense, tropical growth whose
trees often stand more than 100 feet
high. Enemy batteries under those
trees employed smokeiess powder
and were therefore almost impos-

Senate Fight Seen This Week
TO Cut { Excise Taxes by July
y Move End-r Way to Give Some Reduction
10 Corporations on 1945 Excess Profits Levy

yesterday to have the Senate give
corporations some reduction on their
1945 excess profits taxes, payable in
March, 1916. The amendment said
to be in preparation would provide
for an excess profits tax exemption
of not les than s25 900, applicable
to 1945. 1t was learned that this
proposal was made in the Finance
Committee, but not adopted. Two
committee members predicted last
night it would be renewed in the
Senate.
AS the bill now stands, it repeals
the excess profits tax entirely on
January l, but that, as well as the
reductions in corporation normal
and surtaxes, would not be reflected
in lower payments until the returns
for 1916 are filed early in 1947.

Argentine Regime
Farrell Selects New
Vice President and
Four Cabinet Members
BY the Associated Press.

BUENOS AIRES, Oct. 90
President Edelmiro Farrell today
appointed Gen. Juan Pistarini
as Argentina's Vice President
and filled four cabinet posts with
men regarded as sympathizers
with the policies of Col. Juan
Peron, the nations strong
man."
The new cabinet members are Col
Bartolorne Descalzo, minister of the
interior; Col. Amaro Avalos, min
lister Of finance; Jose Astigueta
minister of justice and education
and Pedro Marotta, minister OF
agriculture.
At the same time it was an
nounced that War Minister Gen
Jose Humberto Sosa Molina had
placed Gen. Felipe Urdampilleta in
command of the Campo de Mayo
military garrison, which has shown
itself as a great factor in swaying
the balance of power in the coun-
try's precarious politics.
Avalos Now in Eclipse.
1t was as commander of the gar
rison that Gen. Eduardo Avalos led
the army discomfort which forced
the resignation october 9 of Col
Peron from three government posts,
including the vice presidency. Gen
Avalos, now in eclipse, was reported
to have requested retirement from
the army.
Unexplained hostility greeted the
new vice president, Gen. Pistarini,
when, at a public ceremony, he in

as secretary of labor and social well

Peron before he dropped briefly
from power and was arrested, later
to be released and restored to in
f1uence.
Gen. Pistarini drew shouts of
Where were you when Peron was
confined?" when he introduced Col.
Mercante. His unidentified hecklers
charged he was "a last-minute con-
vert to the Peronite cause"
Unperturbed, Gen. Pistarini de-
clared that nothing will be done
(by the government) to change the
course already decided on to insure
the nation untrammeled elections
within short time.
Formerly Served in Germany.
The military record of the g.
year-old Pistarini, who also is min

Farrell cabinet, includes several
periods of service in Germany. He

BERLIN, Oct. 20.-A British in
telligence officer today said British
and American investigators had
notified their governments at WASH

slider Adolf Hitler dead.
SO far as the British and Amer
leans are concerned the Hitler case
is closed, he added.
The investigator, who declined to

conclusion was that Hitler and Eva

Cavalry Forces
Attack Rebels in
Caracas Palace
Medina Reported
Reinstuted After
Fierce Fighting
BY the Associated Press.

CARACAS, Venezuela, Oct. 20
Cavalry forces loyal to Presi-
dent Isaias Medina y Angarita
tonight attacked Mirafiores Pal
ace in hard fighting, and junta
of rebellious army officers called
on planes to blast the attackers
with machine gun fire and
bombs.
(Radio San Cristobal, in West
ern Venezuela, said President
Medina had been reinstated in
in Caracas after government cav
airy had cleared revolutionists
from the palace The broadcast
said its information came from
radio National, in the hands of
the antirevolutionists in Caracas.
However, Bogota listeners
heard Caracas broadcast of the
junta's first decree, which named
Romulo Betancour as junta pres
ident and promised to deliver
power to persons legally elected
in accordance with the new con-
stitution." Reference to a new
constitution indicated the revolu-
tionistS intended to carry out
their objective of providing di-
rect, secret election of the Presi-
dent, who under the existing
constitution is named by men,
bers of Congress.)
The cavalrymen advanced on the
palace amid heavy fire that caused
casualties. Several truckloads OF
Medina forces, described by the
Junta-controlled radio as "Commu-
nists," seized a six-story housing
project about quarter of a mile
south Of Miraf1ores. From there
they opened fire on the palace.
No Sign of Tanks.
Other attackers took up position
on a heavily-wooded hill next to
the housing center. During the
fighting there was no sign of the
tanks which the rebel radio said
would be used. The Venezuelan
Army has some medium to light
tanks at Maracay arsenal, possess
sion of which was claimed by the
revolutionists.
Heavy firing was heard near the
Ambrozio Plaza barracks in the
western part of Caracas, reported
to have surrendered to the rebels
yesterday. Cavalrymen stationed
there are among the forces support
ing Medina.
A pro-groverment cavalry unit
moving through the southeast part
of the city included three armed
horsewomen.
Firing was intense around Mira
flores, with Junta soldiers firing
from the palace roof. The Associa-
ted Press Office, only half a block
distant, moved to new quarters
Stray bullets penetrated living
quarters at the rear of the palace.
Colombian Aid Claimed.
A Junta-controlled Caracas
broadcast reported the revolution
lists had intercepted a telephone
between Gen. David
Lopez Henriquez, chief of the mill
tary zone of Tachira State, and DR..
Alberto Cells Paredes, president of
the neighboring State of Merida,
both reported loyal to Medina. The
broadcast quoted Lopez as saying
he could count on the support of
Colombian planes to support Me-
dina troops marching on Caracas.

suppose the democratic government
