You and the Chest Compoqin

(Another of a series answering
the questions people are asking
about the Community Chest Fed
er1tion.
What was the controversy over
the Washington Housing Association
as a member Of the Washington
Community Chest?
The primary purpose of this
agency, added to Chest membership
in 1888, was to work for better
housing for low-income families,
whether by improving old slum-like
dwellings or advocating new ones
to replace them.
As time went on real estate in
terests felt strongly the association,
in its zeal to find better low-cost
housing, allied itself openly with
public housing" Actually, it was
not "for" or against" either public
or private housing.
Periodically, groups whose antag-
onism was strong, challenged the
associations membership in the
Chest. Each time the challenge was
presented duly to the Chests Board

cisions. And each time the board

The Air Force is projecting net
work of defenses in Alaska. including
such installations as radar warning
stations, underground command
posts and fighter fields
An official summary issued by the
Air Force high command lifted a
corner today of the curtain on USAF
activities on the Arctic frontier
during the last year.
Twelve months of flights by Alas
ka-based squadrons making aerial
studies, weather flights and con-
Quoting training operations, said the
statement, have proved that USAF
units can fly anywhere in polar
regions during any season of the
year"
Aircraft of the 46th Reconnais-
sance Squadron have made more
than 100 flights "over the geogra-
phic North Pole and its immediate
vicinity" the statement disclosed.
Three Magnetic Poles Found.
The squadron was sent to Alaska
in June, 1916, to observe and

fighter control centers with neces-
sary facilities for cold weather test

and newer models of extra long
range bomb carrying aircraftD
The Air Force statement did not
say how far these defense projects
had been advanced, but Army engi-
neers and the Air Force have beer
authorized, so far, to spend more
than 100000 in Alaska. Uncon-
firmed but undenied reports have
said new bases were being built.
The USAF reported that valu-
able geographical, navigational anc
weather discoveries had been made
during the Arctic operations, includ-
ing the fact that there are three

Woge-Hour Hearing
Asked to Eliminate
Sulesmen Under Act
BY the Assoeioted Press

Elimination of all $75-a-week
workers from the wage-hour law
guaranteeing overtime pay after
40 hours was proposed to a con-
gresslonal committee today.
Stanley I. Posner, Washington at
tofney representing the National In
oustrlal Launderers g. Cleaners As
ISOLATION, said Congress never in
tended such workers to enjoy the
benefit of the act.
Mr.. Posner proposed three amend
ments in testimony prepared for a
House Labor Subcommittee which
plans a month of hearings on the
n1ne-year-old statute.
The subcommittee, headed by
Representative Mcconnell, Repub-
l!can, of Pennsylvania, held similar
hearings last spring on the Accent
an-hour minimum wage specified
under the law. Several bills are
pending to raise this figure at least
so per cent.
Other Exemptions Asked.
Besides calling for elimination of
all employees paid SIS a week or
more, regardless of their duties, Mr..
Posner suggested:
l. Exemption of employees, such as,
statesmen, who spend most of their
working time away from their en-
ployer's establishment and hence are
not under his direct supervision all
the time.
2, Exemption of employees whose
hours and working conditions are
covered by union contracts.
8. Limiting the law to the manu-
featuring, mining, and processing
industries whose products are in
Interstate Commerce. State laws
should cover all workers, Mr.. Posner
asserted.
I'm its present form, the overtime
requirement in some cases has be-
come trap for he unwary, a
weapon for blackmail, and reward
for the unscrupulous," the witness
said.
Calls Law "Unclear."
Although Congress said the pur-
pose of the law is ito eliminate
labor conditions detrimental to the
maintenance of the minimum stand
ard of living" Mr.. Posner continued.
there are numerous INSTANCES"
of highly paid workers threatening
10 sue for overtime pay IF they
should be discharged"
He said the language of the law
is not clear on outside" workers
and that the wage-hour admini-
stration has decided laundry sales
men are covered by the act but
bakery salesmen are not. He sug-
gested Qualification to eliminate def
nitely all persons who spend most
of their working time away from
reasonable supervision
Sees Intent Defeated.
The fourth change Is necessary.
Mr.. Posner added, because the
original intention of Congress has
been defeated by unwarranted inter-
pretations or regulations of the
wage-hour division"
He said the act, which Congress
intended ito have rather narrowly
restricted application" has been
gradually extended to every corner
OF Industrial. commercial, distribu-
tive and professional activity, and.
indeed, even to the cleaning of soiled
linens"
Mr. Posner said the Wage Hour
Administration has ruled that "re-
tail" laundries dealing directly with
individual customers are exempt
from the law, but wholesale" laun-
dries doing work for branch laun-
dries, railroad companies, or laun-
dry agents are not.

ZEE-BEES CAPTURE
HOLIDAY BASKETBALL
TOURNEY HERE;
BEAT GRANT BULL DOGS
20 = %
By Dan Loblaw

spite their woeful lack OF effl-
cheney from the free throw line
(they missed % in % at
tempts) conquered Grants
scrappy Bull Dogs, 20 : %, to
capture the second annual
Zion-Benton holiday tourna-
ment in a spirited contest wit
messed by a capacity crowd. It
was the fourth straight victory
for Coach Fred Stanton's as
piring youngsters and was
their sixth in eight encounters
this season.
The championship game was
a hard fought battle all the
way and though the Zee-Bees
enjoyed a seemingly comfort
able II 9 margin at the in
PERMISSION, the Bull Dogs
came back strong in the third
period and made a determined
bid for victory right up to the
final gun.
Particularly outstanding in
the fray for the Bull Dogs
were Fred Haiman and Al AL
brecht, while rangy Art John
son, 6 foot 4 inch center, made
his height felt around the
backboards. Haiman was the
top scorer for Grant, with nine
points, while Johnson was the
high scoring Bull Dog for the
meet with 13 points.
For the Zee-Bees it was a
we'll balanced team victory
with Vern Edwards flashing
plenty in the thick of the &C.
ton all the way, while Sid
Christophersen and Fritz Ride
nour patrolled the backboards
with alacrity and skill. Sid was
the high point man for the
Zee-Bees with a dozen digits
and Vern Clipped in four two
pointers, while Big Fritz was
limited to three field goals.
The Zee-Bees advanced to
the finals at the expense of the
Grayslake's Rams on Monday
evening, but not without a
mighty stiff battle before they
were able to annex 80 = 27
decision. Still smarting from
that previous IS % defeat
absorbed here earlier, the
Rams came out fighting and
battled right down to the end.
The Zee-Bees led 9 to 7 at the
quarter, Is to 16 at the inter-
mission and &c to rs going into
the last period. And it might
be said that the Grayslake's
Rams were the surprise of the
tournament and added that
little touch of drama so essen
tial to the success of an affair
of this nature. After giving the
Zee-Bee fans plenty of anxious
moments in the opening round
game, the Rams literally broke
the hearts of the Warren root
ers in the consolation clash on
Tuesday night. With Warren's
Blue Devils coasting in to the
final period in command of a
% to IA edge, Coach Chuck
Redey's Rams suddenly came
to life and rallied to tie the
score Is to rs at the end of the
regulation play. They won the
decision in overtime with a T.
