These black demons of the jungle
are night bandits. All during the
day they shun the light. Their home
is well hidden, where thousands Of
them rest through the day and sally
forth at night for food.
They are formidable in size, meas
uring about three-fourths of an
inch in length, with large, beadlike
eyes, big jaws and a brown or black
coat of armor. Their mandibles are
strong enough to pierce your skin;
when they inject bit of poison it
has four times the strength Of that
of the common wood ant. The aka
loid that constitutes the venom is
extremely toxic, the needle for
ejecting the poison is most efficient.

of ant cities established in the

Next he ran the diamond suit.

heart. On the fourth he was in a
quandry.
Should he unguard hearts or
clubs? Mr.. Dale had Stuffed two
clubs and no hearts Apparently he
was not interested in clubs. So Mr.
Muzzy decided to let go of the trey
of clubs.
Mr.. Dale then had nine cold
tricks. After taking five diamonds
he led club to the ace, cashed
the king, and the seven spot won
the game-going trick. /

wanted to know how he could tell

fairly patiently. "he had one spade |

tricks. Now, if he had ace-king-

Mr.. Abel was right. But Mr..

nearly everything from selling tc
minors to permitting women tt
solicit for prostitution.
All of the violations occurred

hotel of permitting a man named

Hill observers, who are keer
Judges on matters affecting Gov
ernment employees.
AS related here the other day
the House Appropriations Com
Imittee does not have the authority
to reduce Government overtime
payments or increase the length
of the work week through a leg
|islative rider, since the 40-hour
Federal week and the rate of over
time payments are part of sub
|stantive law.
To change this, Congress would
have to enact separate legislation
and this seems a remote posi-
bility. 1t would incur the fierce
opposition of the AFL and the
CIO, as we'll as the various Fed
eral employe groups. Government
employees now, with the exception
of those earning less than $4,000
a year, already receive less than
the time -and-a- half overtime pay
ments given private industry
workers for time worked over 40
hours. Any move by Congress to
cut these payments still further
seems unlikely to succeed.
There has been considerable
feeling among some members of
Congress that Federal workers
should be placed on a 44-hour
week when necessary, at straight
pay of A hours. But Congress, in
all probability, would reject such
a move.
Administration officials have
stressed that most Government
units don't have the workload to
Justify a longer week. AS for the
defense agencies and the security
units. about 80 per cent of their
employees are on Al or 48-hour
week. Thousands of additional
defense and security employees
probably will be placed on a longer
week in the months ahead, al
though probably so per cent of the
Defense Departments civilian en-
ployes will remain on a 40-hour
week.
The Governments top military
officials would strongly oppose any
move to cut present overtime pay
ments for their employees on the
ground such action would result
in many key workers leaving to
go to private industry. Such an
argument would have considerable
weight with Congress.
While overtime payments won't
be reduced, neither will they be
increased. Several of the more
liberal Senators and Representa-
tives have sponsored legislation tC
increase overtime payments fol-
Federal workers to match private
industry rates. But this. like the
move to reduce overtime pay
mentS, is doomed to defeat this
year.
All Of which means that, bar
ring unforeseen circumstances
Government employees working
hours and overtime payments will
remain unchanged this year.
