the complaints say they have no
objection to longer working hours
for employees If they are needed.
But they say that it's just a waste
of the taxpayers money to pay
employees overtime rates for doing
nothing.
In this regard, it's expected that
the White House will soon issue an
order which will authorize the
various agency and department
heads to place employees on a
longer work week whenever it is
needed, but the order will stress
that no employe shall be placed
on longer working hours unless it
is absolutely necessary. The order
will emphasize that only in
specific functions which cannot be
accomplished within the regular
40-hour work week should en-
ployes be placed on longer work.
ing hours.
The pending order reflects the
opinion Of top Government ad-
ministrative and personnel off,
Gals. including those in the De-
fense Department. that a gen.
eral overtime work week in Gov
ernment is not desirable at pres
ent.
About 80 per cent Of the De-
fense Departments employees are
now working A to 48 hours and
this percentage will probably be
increased in the months ahead.
But the Defense Department will
not go on a general overtime work
week unless present conditions
change, and only a small seq
ment of the rest of the Govern
ment's employees will go on a
longer working week. At present.
outside of the Defense Depart
ment. only $4,000 Federal en-
ployes are working more than 40
hours a week.

Wilson VIII Consult
Truman in Key West
lon Labor WaIkout
By james Y. Newton

Mobilization Director Charles
E. Wilson will confer with Presi-
fdent Truman in Florida Tuesday
on what to do about organized
labor's walkout from the defense
mobilization program, it was in
dicated last night.
Senator Humphrey, Democrat,
of Minnesota, said he was told Mr.
Wilson would be in Key West when
he inquired as TO Mr.. Wilson'S
availability for a hearing.
The Senator said a Labor sub
committee which he heads will
open a closed-door inquiry Tues
day into the split between labor
and the administration which led
to withdrawal of all union repre-
sentatives from defense agencies
Conferred With Truman.
He said he had discussed the
investigation with Mr.. Truman be-
fore he left Friday for a three
week vacation in Florida and that
the President did not disap-
prove"
In fact" Senator Humphrey
said, she made some suggestions
as 10 how we should proceed. His
feeling was that we ought first to
get the background of the whole
situation from the Government
officials concerned"
In the executive session Tues
day the subcommittee plans to
hear Economic Stabilizer Eric A.
Johnston and Cryus S. Ching,
chairman of the Wage Stabiliza-
ton Board. There probably will
be public hearings later, Senator
Humphrey added. and labor will
be asked to testify.
Labor. represented by the United
Labor Policy Committee, had its
three members resign from the
wage board largely as a means of
dramatizing its feeling that the
entire defense effort is being run
by and for big business. Later the
committee withdrew representa-
tives from all other defense agen-
cies. So far as is known, however,
none of the designations have been
accepted.
Labor Meeting Tomorrow.
The labor committee will meet
tomorrow to take follow up
action one of the members said.
He pointed out the walkout al
ready had forced Mr.. Johnston to
modify the 10 per cent wage in
crease formula so that cost of
living wage raises may be made.
Senator Humphrey had planned
to call Mr.. Wilson as the first
witness at the closed hearing.
Meanwhile, wage board officials
said they were nearly swamped by
requests for Interpretation of the
new wage control policy. Thou
sands of persons have written,
telephoned and called at the board
Office to find out how they are
affected by the control order.
The board has II attorneys an
swering the inquiries.
While the board cannot act on
policy without the presence OF the
labor members. it can interpret
policy already handed down.
Mr.. Johnston may further mod
ify the wage policy this week so
that so-called fringe" benefits
pensions. health and welfare
funds-will be outside OF the 10
per cent formula. He also will
have to decide whether the new
agreement between the railroads
and unions representing a mil
lion incorporating rail workers
falls within the new policy.

U. 5. Security Danger
Greater Than Ever,
McCarren Declares
BY the Associated Press

America is in greater internal
security danger than it has ever
been," Senator McCarran, Demo-
crat, of Nevada said yesterday
after talking to FBI Director j
Edgar Hoover.
| Senator McCarran gave no de-
tails. Mr.. Hoover told a reporter
separately that Communists have
gone underground to greater
extent than ever, but that 1--WE
still know what they are up to-"
Mr.. Hoover was at the Capitol
for a closed meeting with a Sen
ate Appropriations subcommittee
headed by Senator McCarran. The
group passes on funds for the
Justice Department, including the
FBI.
Senators said Mr.. Hoover asked
for $26 million more, largely for
additional agents and overtime
work.
FBI Works Overtime.
Congress last year authorized
the FBI to employ up to 614 addi-
tional agents. but when Mr.
Hoover could not find enough ex-
perienced men he put his staff on
a 48-hour week.
Senator McCarran also heads
a Senate judiciary subcommittee
on internal security set up to keep
an eye on subversive activities.
The Senator said Mr.. Hoover's
testimony was off the record. but
that 1t confirmed his own knowl-
edge of the countrys security
situation.
Mr.. Hoover told his interviewer
the Communists no longer hold
many open meetings and no
longer issue membership cards.
They are covering up in every
way possible to avoid attention Of
the authorities, he said.
He traced this to three factors:
/. The attention Communists
drew when the party's top officials
were tried and convicted in New
York.
2. Passage last year of the Nc
Carran Communist control law
requiring registration of Commu-
nists and Communist front or
ganiZations.
3. More awareness in the coun-
try of the danger of the Commu-
mist threat.
McCarran Sees Danger.
Senator McCarran said the dan
ger to the country's internal Sc
curity results from "the nature of
the war we are engaged in" and
the nature of the internal enemy
which confronts us-Communism
in its most invidious form"
"The loyal citizenry of the
United States should be alerted to
conditions that exist in nearly
every State of the Union, espe-
.cially in States where defense
work IN Delng carried on, he said
The FBI last year asked citizens
to protect your country" by re-
porting all information about spy
ing, sabotage and subversive ac-
tivitieS to the FBI. 1t advised
be alert report only facts
the nearest FBI Office is listed
on page one of your telephone
directory"
Mr.. Hoover was reported last
September to have told Senate
committee that his agents are
ready to arrest $4,000 Communists
If war should break out with
Russia. Senators reporting this
said the 10000 were listed by the
FBI as potentially the most dan-
gerouS from security standpoint
iof more than $4,000 known Com
munists on which the FBI has
been keeping tabs.

COMMENTS
On CoevuI Life
BY VICTORIO A. VELASCO

There is tragedy in the misuse
of power and mockery in placing
authority in irresponsible hands.
But man is vain since time imme-
mortal, and history repeats itself
in unending cycle.
Give power to an ignOramus and
look what happens! He thinks he
rules the world and his word be-
comes law. His head swells and,
drunk with power, he cannot see
straight, but thunders with mis-
used authority.
This is the eternal mockery in
human relations. We raise man
from the gutter and invest him
with power to commit stupid and
unforgiveable blunders, and we
worship him. We seem to respect
the dishonest and unprincipled SO
long as they have gold in their
hands and food to feed our hungry
stomachs.
We have no courage to rise
against injustice, to point out evil
dOingS, to stop the chiseler. We
bow in pitiful obedience to those
who can give us food and drink,
and close our eyes to their mis-
chiefs and cOrruptiOns. Our loyalty
is where gold is.

There is plenty a-cooking in the

that Dalisay Aldaba, Filipino prima
donna, is known to be arriving in

Browns Take Hint
From TyCobb and
Do Some Buntinu

Ty Cobb, who attended yester-
days double-header at Griffith
Stadium and lamented the lack of
bunting in present-day baseball in
IA between-games interview with
Arch Mcdonald, apparently had
the Browns tuned in on him.
In the ninth inning of the Sec
ond game, the st. Louis oppor-
tunists bunted three times and
were safe three times. The bunts
figured prominently in a four-run
outburst which beat the Mats.
Cobb repeated his opinion that
Walter johnson was the greatest
pitcher Of all time and said the
immortal Big Train would have
been even more effective had he
occasionally "dusted off" hitters.
Here to testify at Congressional
hearings on baseball starting to-
day, Cobb received an ovation
when introduced over the public
address system.
