Thousands in Defense
TO Work Extra Time
Under New Program

Thousands Of employees in de-
fense agencies here will work extra
hours as result of Defense
Secretary Marshall's authorize
tion of a A or 48 hour work week
in defense bureaus whenever
necessary to meet increased work
loads.
Secretary Marshall last night
said that longer hours were not
mandatory for all civilian per-
sonnel, but that bureau heads
could order a longer work week
for any of their employees to get
important work done.
Defense personnel officials said
the Secretary's new policy order
will mean the placing of many
thousands of defense agency en-
ployes here on A or 48 hour
week. They added, however, that
not all defense employees will be
put on a longer work week at
present.
Many Now Work Extra.
In a memorandum to bureau
chiefs, Gen. Marshall said the
longer work week should be used
whenever necessary to conserve
manpower and to cut down as far
as possible the number of new
employees needed. 1t was stressed
that the new overtime policy was
"permissive" rather than manda-
tory.
Gen. Marshall declared that the
authorized longer hours should
rot apply to employees on whom
Saturday work imposes an undue
hardship. such as married women
with families who are required
to make special arrangements for
their children on Saturday.
Thousands Now on Extra Time.
Thousands of defense agency
employees already are working A
or 48 hours. About so per cent
of the Air Forces civilian workers
are now working overtime. Many
Army and Navy civilian workers
now are working extra hours, al
though not in the proportion as
Air Force employees.
Secretary Marshall pointed out
that his own staff is going on a
f1ve-and-a-half day week (44
hours. This may set pattern
for many defense agency units
that have heavy enough work
loads to necessitate longer work.
ing hours. However, Secretary
Marshall made it plain that the
question of putting longer work.
ing hours into effect, or the num-
Der of overtime hours to be
worked, would rest with the indi-
yidual bureau heads.
Employees will be paid regular
overtime rates accorded Govern
ment workers. Straight time
and-a-half payments go to en-
ployes earning under $4,000 a
year. The overtime rate then
tapers off, with less than straight
time paid to employees in the up
per salary brackets.

Public Hearings
On Donohue 10
Start Feb. II
Two at Citizens Clinic
Pruise Nomination
As Commissioner

Public hearings on the nomina-
tion of F. Joseph Donohue to be a
member of the Board of Commis-
sioners will begin at 10 am. Feb
ruary 81. it was announced today
by Chairman Nicely of the Senate
District Committee.
He made the announcement at
today'S session of the committees
legislative clinics for citizens when
two witnesses voiced tributes to
Mr.. Donohue..
Praise for the nominee came
from j. A. Kamerow, for the Fed
Grafton Of BuSinessmen's ASsocia-
tions, and Louis I. Obergh, counsel
Of the American Business Assccla-
ton. The latter organization is
local group of small business
men, having it's members from the
city at large.
The testimony of Mr.. Kamerow
and Mr. Obergh apparently was III
answer to an attack on the Dono-
hue nomination presented to the
District Committee Tuesday by
the Rev. DR.. Frederick Reissig of
the Washington Federation of
Churches.
Called Outstanding Lawyer.
DR.. Reissig had argued that Mr..
Donohue was disqualified for the
commissionership because he had
served for many years as counsel
to the powerful liquor industry"
in the District.
An entirely different view was
taken by the two witnesses today.
Mr.. Kamerow said MIR. Donohue
was "unquestionably an out
standing member of the District
bar" was a man of ability and
would make IAN excellent COM
missioner"
He scoffed at the suggestion of
Senator Welker. Republican, of
Idaho. that if confirmed Mr.
Donohue should not take super
vision over the work of the Alco-
holic Beverage Control Board. Mr..
Kamerow said "It would be folly,
for such a proposal to be adopted.
The witness also brought out
that Mr.. Donohue in his law prac-
tice had represented many other
clients in addition to liquor licen-
sees. He said these included gro
GERS, clothing firms and a lot of
average men," He said Mr.. DON
oflue was "civic-minded and
man of integrity"
MIR. Obergh, in his tribute to
the commissioner designate said
Mr.. Donohue was "young, capable |
and aggressive. and one who was
not under dictation by the Board
of Trade"
Fortunate Selection.
He added that MFR. Donohue wasA
a man who thinks of his coun-
try first" and that no one could
say that because of his previous
law work he would favor big busi-
ness.
Mr.. Obergh added:
"The people of the District are
fortunate to have a man of this
type appointed to a post as Dis
trict Commissioner because he will |
be able to guide the rest of the
Commissioners in their decisions
affecting the rights of the people.
1T is high time that we have
real representative of the people |
who will not be hamstrung by the
Board of Trade, but will do what
ever is right for Washington il
respective of consequences.
Mr.. Donohue is the type of
man that can neither be bought |
nor intimidated."
Senator Smith, Democrat, of
North Carolina, asked Mr.. Obergn
what was the conflict with the
Board of Trade. The witness re-
piled there was no conflict" but
that the Board of Trade was
controlled by banking and financial
interests and that the Board of
Trade controlled the District

THE CHRISTIAN IN PHILOSO-
PLY by Langmead Casserley.
Charles Scribner's Sons, New York.
S2.75. A serious study of the past
record and present opportunity of
the Christian in philosophy. A per-
iOd of time is covered which in
cludes the apostle Paul and Karl
Barth. The authors keynote is:
"Of all Christian it is true that gen
uine personal faith must mean the
deliberate surrender and dedication
of the entire personality to the SER
vice of God. The philosophical type
of man must choose between being
Christian philosopher and not be-
ing a Christian at ALL" The author
holds to the conviction that the last
word has not yet been said about
the relationship between reason and
faith. He sees the function of the
Christian philosopher as interpret
ing life and reality; his aim to pro-
claim and illustrate the truth as
he sees it. A text for ministers,
theOlogians and teachers.

The political pot is boiling

The Non-Pdrtisun pdrty, the

heard the some person say
thdt they didn't know whdt
Wds going on in the village
hdll.
1t is q sad affdir that this
village has q clerk who
would attempt to use q Ii
quor ordinance which was
passed in 1888. when the
state hdd q low on selling
beverages with $3.50 alco-
hol. One doesn't have to be
q drinker to know thdt there
must be another ordinance
passed ct q later date to
take core Of beverages with
q much higher alcoholic
content. Yet our villuge clerk
is hopelesslY trying to criti-
CHE the mayor. Indsmuch
as all monies ore turned
over to the village clerk,
why is it SO important that
she must collect the liquor
license monies?
For two years Mrs. White
never worried about collect
ing anything but the checks
which were made our to one
Mrs. Hyde OF Mrs. Robinson.
Con she be looking for some
thing to fill the gdp left after
she could no longer get
these checks?
