House Votes Tentatively to Loosen Hour Rules for Salaried Worke
Senate Passes
Bill on Foreign
Investments
WASHINGTON, April 30— (P)-
Tentative acceptance of an amend-
ment loosening maximum hours’
provisions for salaried workers in-
tensified today the house battle
over revising the wage-hour law.
The proposal, by Representative
Hoffman (R-Mich), was approved
74 to 38 late yesterday without
concerted opposition. Foes may
have chances to demand reconsid-
eration later this week.
The amendment would remove
the requirement that time-and-a-
half must be paid for work in ex-
cess of 42 hours a week, but would
provide that in a 26-week period
the average work week could not
exceed that maximum unless over-
time was paid.
It would apply to persons who
have worked in an office or plant
for at least six months on a reg-
ular salary
Representatice Marchantonio (N.
Y.> supporter of the present law,
expressed the opinion adoption of
the amendment would react against
groups trying to revise the statute.
"Sure, I want that amendment
in there because it will help us
beat the Barden BU1." he said.
The Barden amendments would
exempt from both the wage and
hour requirements to a score of
off-the-farm operations for pro-
cessing agricultural commodities.
Administration forces are fighting
these proposals.
The senate passed late yester-
day an administration bill empow-
ering the president to regulate
transactions in foreign investments
in this country during an emergen-
cy such as war. The house still
must act.
Leaders at first had arranged to
interrupt the Wage-hour debate to-
day to dispose of the farm measure,
but members from rural areas ob-
jected. They wanted a chance to
win the support of city members
for bigger farm funds by agreeing
to oppose the Barden amendments.
Markets
Wool
BOSTON
The volume of business in wools on the
Boston market today was very moderate.
There was a continued fair demand for
three-eighths and one-quarter blood
bright fleece wools, but offerings were
limited. Country-packed three-eighths and
one - quarter blood bright fleeces in mix-
ed grade lots, offered from the country,
were salable at 35 to 36 cents, in the
grease, delivered to mills. Western grown
wools were quiet, and quotations were
firm at last week’s levels.

Casualty reports seeping through
from the front lines indicated that
land fighting in Norway has not
as yet been heavy. On the Stein-
kjer front, for instance, where the
British retreated last week after
contacting the Germans, , Norwe-
gians said that their total losses in
the past few days have amounted
to about 30 men, and that the Brit-
ish losses were “perhaps heavier.
At Namsos, farther north, the
prench reported that they had lost
eight dead in nine days of fighting,
and 27 wounded
These isolated casualty re-
ports may give a glimpse of the
scale of the fighting. It ap-
pears that casualties in the
Scandinavian phase of the war
to far have been principally
st sea, with many dying in bat-
tle on both sides, and many
more coming down with at-
tacked troop shops. .
On the British home front the
opposition parties and the press,
ARnough eager for a full explana-
tion of what is going on in Nor-
way appeared to be accepting for
the moment the government’s ex-
planation that silence is the best
policy now because of the strategic
situation in Norway.

not a budget." jt continues, "but
it is a means devised for the pur-
pose of studying constructively a
budget and of using the yardstick
and the microscope in appairising
the proposed expenditures and re-

report ere also a means of present-
ing to the taxpayer and public of-
ficial comparative facts and infor-

budget, with the view of enabling
constructive approval of the budget
and of improving policies and man-
agement From the facts on the
first four schedules of the report.
It is believed thst wholesome rec-
ommendations can be made and ex-
tended on the fifth scheule for
adoption in the budget "
Bandeen said the figures used in
the model budgets are those for an
average West Texas town of 10 000

Army Sloshes
Through Mud
JASPER, April »0—(A6-The Red
army drove through slush and mud
toward the Sabine river today with
its goal the outposts of the Blue
army and the first engagement of
the most extensive peace-time field
maneuvers to the nation's history.
The army supply trucks struggled
through almost impassable roads to
meet the needs of thousands of in-
fantry, cavalry, and auxiliary troops
along a 27-mile front.
There were no prospects of a
change in weather conditions with
rains falling intermittently through-
out the maneuver area.
Maj. Gen. Walter Krueger pro-
nounced the morale of his men
high despite the mud and slush.
The 89th coast artillery from Fort
Crockett has anti-aircraft equip-
ment located on three hills to pro-
tect the city of Nacogdoches from
“raids." The camps and guns are
so well camouflaged that it is diffi-
cult to see them on land and impos-
sible to locate them from the air.
The soldiers get their first pay-
day Thursday. The average pay for
enlisted men to $40 a month.
