Business Pays In Wage Law Experiment Administration Seeks To Delay Changes In Act By DAVID LAWRENCE. The controversy over the amend- ing of the wage and hour law is 8 significant example of how many criss-crosses of influence and pres- sure can sur- round a piece of § legislation and make it appear to be something it really isn't. * The wage and hour law was passed in June, 1938, after a big fight \over Whether exemp- tions should be permitted cer- tain regions and industries and businesses.

Now, after| nearly two years of operation, the | pressure for exemptions and amend- | ments is rather substantial, but the | demand is coming from curiously opposite influences. Members of | Congress representing certain | Northern districts, which face high | production costs, want to see that Southern industries that compete on a lower wage scale are brought up higher. Differentials in freight that give one section an advantage over another are in the background of the effort to see competition equalized. | Agricultural processors are fight- {ng for exemption. They see mount- Ing costs in certain areas as des- | troying their opportunities. The wage and hour law never took into consideration the differences within the United States of wage conditions, but blanketed all under the same rule. That is one reason why, for example, Republicans from textile States supported the legislation originally and why some of them are fighting against amendments that would bring gertain exemptions. Administration Strategy Shifted. The whole situation is complicated by the fact that the so-called agri- cultural amendments originally were coupled with the amendmengs de- gired by businesses which employ white-collar workers. Support for revision came from both groups. Last year the House Labor Commit- tee reported a bill urder the spon- sorship of Representative Norton which would have permitted certain amendments especially with respect to white-collar workers in the high income brackets. Certainly there was no intention originally to cause officials who get more than $2,000 a year, for instance, to be paid time- and-a-half for overtime when the same money might well be used to improve the lot of those whose wages fall far below $2,000 a year. But while there was general agreement last year as to these amendments and the President himself approved them, the administration now has shifted its strategy. Mr. Roosevelt now indicates that 1t is too early to change the law, and that it is a piece | of experimental legislation which should have more time for study by the wage and hour administrator. Even Republican members of the House are conceding that the new | administrator is doing a better job | than his predecessor, and some of | them are really saying, in effect, that they prefer bureaus to write the laws | of the land. The regulations of the | wage and hour administration and | other bureaus are definitions de- rived from the vague language of | the statutes. With due regard for | the sincerity of those who write the | THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C, SATURDAY, APRIL 27, 1940, ° The Capital Parade Third-Termers Plan ‘Progressive Allionce’ To Parallel Democratic National Committee By JOSEPH ALSOP and ROBERT KINTNER. While the President busily maps the strategy of a Hull-Jackson ticket, the New Dealers are equally busy planning a campaign in which the President himself will be the standardbearer. They have already decided that much of the burden will have to be carried by an organiza- tion of their own, indeperident of the Democratic National Committee and acting parallel to it, which has been given the tentative title of “The Progressive Alliance.” > In the 1936 election, Thomas G Corcoran and other leaders of the New Deal group, besides® serving as presidential amanuenses, had the special task of effecting a liaison between Progressive and Democratic campaigners. After a meeting in LE'S CALLIT the Mid-West, a pro-Roosevelt THEPROGRESSIVE Progressive Committee was formed, ALARNCE: and played some part in the fight, This time, however, the New Deal- ers expect that the Progressive or- ganization will have a far larger share of the responsibility. The reason for this expecta- tion is pretty obvious. The chair- man of the Democratic ‘National Committee, James A. Farley, is not only himself a candidate for the presidency; sympathy with the third term movement. with more hope than assurance, that Even supposing they are right, which seems doubtful, Jim will not go along very enthusiastically. The National Committee setup is shaped to respond to the directions of its master, and thus may not be the tremendously effective campaigning instrument of former years. It is a little difficult to conceive of a “Progressive Alliance,” managed wholly by the New Dealers, taking over many of the National Committee’s functions. Managing a political campaign, after all, is a job for trained, practical politicians, which the New Dealers cannot claim to be, But it may be presumed that the proposed alliance will derive inspiration from the presence of Messrs. Ed Kelly and Frank Hague. What the overlords of Chicago and Jersey City lack in refinement, they more than make up in_crude experience. TUIS IS OUR OWN BRAIN CHILD Y he is also completely out of The New Dealers proclaim, “Jim will go along in the end.” Commissioner Panuch The Securities and Exchan Matthews seems likely to go to in the S. E. C’s New York offi ge commissionership vacated by George Joseph Panuch, now an important figure ce. Panuch is the son of an Austrian of- ficial of the old regime who emigrated early to this country, and was chiefly educated here. After graduating from Fordham College, he went to Columbia Law School with Justice William O, Douglas, whose friend he is. He is waging an active campaign for the place, and being an active Roman Catholic layman, is supported by the church influence which is so often unexpectedly strong in Government. The vacant commissionership would have been filled long before this if it had not been one of the minority places, requring the appointment of a Republican (which Panuch is) or a member of some other minority party. The New Dealers, while not enthusiastic about Panuch, are not hostile to him, and he may get what he wants. It is also a good bet, how- ever, that nothing will be done until S. E. C. Chairman Jerome N. Frank also retires, when a Democrat and a Republican could be named simul- taneously. $18,000 a Year The death of Joseph Sheehan, president of the > Government-subsi- dized American, President Lines, has started a violent scramble for one of a mMember of the Maritime Commissi: Fortunately for Barriger, there are need of employment.

GOULD,LINCOLN. Missouri’s Democratic row con- tinues to seethe, notwithstanding compromise action taken by the Democratic State Convention a couple of weeks ago. At the con- vention, Senator Bennett Champ ¥ Clark was made chairmen of the Missouri dele- gation to the party’s national conven tion in Chicago next July. Reports are to the effect, however, that a large majority of the dele- Entes mhich ‘. ceuit tinsein send to the convention will be ready to vote immediately for the renomi- nation of President Roosevelt, if the President decides to run again. Mr. Clark, while he has made no state- ment regarding a third-term. nomi- nation, is suspected of being op- posed to it. The flat assertion is made, however, by the friends of both Gov. Lloyd C. Stark of Mis- souri and Senator Truman, the Jjunior Senator, that at least 20 and perhaps 25 of the 30 delegates will go for Roosevelt if his name is pre- sented, and that nothing Senator Clark might do could prevent this. It was incorrectly reported in this column soon after the State con- vention that the Missouri delegation would operate at the national con- vention , under the unit rule— whereby a majority of the delega- tion casts the entire vote of the delegation for a presidential candi- date, even though a considerable minority may favor another. If the and the claims of Gov. Stark and Senator Truman are correct—that a large majority of the delegation is favorable to renomination of the President—the entire delegation | could be voted for Roosevelt in the | convention.

The cry that the bill was supposed to put a ceiling over hours and a floor under wages is a good slogan, but in actual practice the wage and hour law, while raising many workers in the low income groups to decent levels, tends. in other directions to prevent wage increases in the middle group of wage scales and causes unem- ployment by forcing small businesses to liquidate. The President is right when he says that the legislation is experimental, but unfortunately the cost of the experiment must be born by the businesses and not by the Government, and it is business man- agement which is compelled to pay for work not done or for work that does not represent a corresponding increase either in output or effi- ciency.

Key States third-term nomination, the Senator will be in a position to vote “no.” He is one of the delegates-at-large, of whom there are eight, each with half a vote. So is Gov. Stark one of the delegates. large, and also Senator Truman. Foes Are Pro-Roosevelt. Senator Truman is an ardent Roosevelt man—like Gov. Stark. He has supported the President in season and out, during his term of* office in the Senate. The situa- tion in Missouri, however, is rendered more complicated because Senator Truman and Gov. Stark are op- ponents for the Democratic sena- torial nomination—a third entry in that race is former United States District Attorney Maurice Milligan, also regarded as a Roosevelt man. Gov. Stark has the open hostility of Senator Clark. Both Truman and Milligan, on the other hand, are hoping for the friendly sup- port of Clark, for Clark has a strong following in State democracy, and his support means a good deal. Take it by and large the the Mis- souri situation is about as compli- cated as it can well be. ° The Stark forces are charging that the old Pendergast machine—of Kansas City ill fame—combined with Clark to run the State convention. They dispute the Clark claim that 26 of the delegates are friendly to him, insisting that 10 of the dele- gates are friendly to Gov. Stark, and that a large majority will follow the Stark leadership and support the President for renomination in the event the President’s name is. presented to the convention. The Missouri Democratic row is symbolic of divisions in the Demo- cratic party in a number of the big, key States this year. In Cali- fornia, Illinois, Pennsylvania, Wis- consin, Ohio and Maryland, the Democratic factions are at each | others throats. To such factional division in the Democratic party, the President himself attributed Re- publican victories in many of the States in the 1938 elections—insist- ing that these G. O.

The time is at hand when American poljticians must stop emitting platitudes about the war and admit the general public to what the general private is already saying. * In Nazi Germany—with its-associates—we face more than a world war, we face a world revolution accompanied by a bid for world-suprem- acy on the part of bold, cynical and highly intelligent men. The combina- tion of extreme nationalism with social revolution is so explosive a mixture that no nation can feel it- self safe. The lesson of Norway shows that the revolutionary arm can neutralize fortresses which would oppose invasion by foreign nationalism, and that treason and conquest go hand-in-hand. Face to face with this sort of war—a war of nerves, propagandas, s ‘ loyalties, intrigues, as well as a war of armies, navies and air forces—no American leader can honestly as- sure us that we will be able to keep out or even that it is to our interest to keep out. Nobody knows whether we can keep out—for it only takes one to make a war—or whether we will want to keep out—since American public opinion has repeatedly shown itself capable of turning double somersaults in midair. No Neutrals in War Certainly we are no longer neutral. There are no neutrals in such a war (see Denmark), only non-belligerents. We are beginning to realize that a Nazi victory would imply more than the political defeat of the British and French empires. The victory of the totalitarians would imply an overthrow of the world civilization which has existed since the Battle of Waterloo and under which we have developed our own civilization and. institutions. The mechanism of trade and finance, by which we get our daily bread; the network of contracts and agreements (including treaties) under which we regulate our social relations; the basic principle of in- dividual and civil liberties which is the soul of the Constitution—all these would be junked. As we face this possibility we may well decide to throw our full weight on the side which offers us most security and against the side which directly threatens to destroy the set of world con- ditions to which we have adapted ourselves. This is the common-sense of the situation and it is an opinion which is shared by an increasing number of our citizens. Nobody wants to go to appendix. The operation is painful, dangerous and expensive: war is equally painful, dangerous and expensive. Yet there are timgs when the individual, if rational, has no choice and—as the American Legion should remind us—he is apt to point with pride to the scar forever after- wards. Washington today is interested in only one subject—the war. Man afte: man, speaking privately, says that he doubts whether we can stay out of it. This goes for everyone from Senators and cabinet, officers, right down to taxi drivers and store clerks not dumb or so ignorant that they can be deceived about the facts of international life. 1t is only the politicians—including the most powerful as well as the humblest—who shrink with horror at the notion of telling | the truth.

Wilson Leads Foes of Change InC. A A By LEMUEL F. PARTON. As the issue is joined, in Congress and out, on the absorption of the Civil Aeronautics Authority by the Commerce Department, Maj. Gill Robb Wilson rallies the air industry against the President’s order for this change. Also at stake is the Afr Safety Board, which would be abol- ished. Maj. Wilson, who became president of the National Aeronau- tic Association last January, vigor- ously opposes both proposals and recruits strong support for his view at the annual Southwest Aviation Conference at Tulsa, Okla. Maj. Wilson has sometimes been compared to Pastor Martin Nie- moeller of Germany, the former submarine commander who entered the ministry after the World War and became the pastor of one of the largest churches in Berlin. After a spectacular career as a World War flyer, M2j. Wilson entered the min= istry and became pastor of the Fourth Presbyterian Church of Trenton, N. J. Both literally and figuratively a “sky pilot,” he never relinquished his interest in flying, and in 1931 he resigned his pastorate to become director of aviation of New Jersey. During his nine years’ incumbency there has been no loss of life in the State in commercial aviation. His record in office has brought him forward as a champion of air safety. He and his allies cite the vastly improved safety record of the air lines in the last four vears | and oppose what they term political | manipulation of the two above | agencies. | Inthe World War Maj.
