Pay-Hour Act Covers
Part of Bus, Truck
Employes, Court Says
WASHINGTON. May 27.—fXJF)—
The supreme court Monday ruled in a
5 to 4 decision that the wage-hour
administration, not ths interstate com-
merce commission, has regulatory Ju-
risdiction over the hours of work of
200,000 non-operating employes of
truck and bus companies.
The decision settled a controversy
in which truck operators sought to
compel the ICC to accept responsibility
for such regulation.
The controversy arose from the por-
tion of the wage-hour law which ex-
empts from maximum hour and over-
time provisions those employes who ars
under ICC jurisdiction. The federal mo-
tor carrier act gives the commission
authority over "qualifications and
maximum hours'* of employes, but the
commission has interpreted that as in-
cluding only persons whose duties
affect safety or motor vehicle opera-
Uons.

1109 Nazi Planes

Paris, London Say
German Looses Heavy
In Air Battles
Immediate action If Italy invade*
Greece from Albania.
(The Fascist review, Conquiste
dTmpero, said in Rome that one of
Italy's first moves in event of her
entry into the war would be attacks
on Greece and Turkey.)
Sweden has a plan to taks over the
remaining privately owned railroads. |
And note the double purpose the life lnsur>
ance companies serve. At one end they pro*
vide you with security. At the other end—the
Investment end—they promote private and
public enterprise everywhere in America.
Some observers wondered whether
Italy would accept an end to control
in the Mediterranean as meaning an
end to her Mediterranean "imprison-
ment’*—something she has insisted
must be terminated.
Observers Are Skeptical
The question also was raised wheth-
er ths war preparations of the last
few weeks constituted a temporary
crisis —which now would disappear.
Foreign circles, however, were skep-
tical over the possibility of a lasting
understanding between Rome and
London as the Italian press was pre-
dicting a German attack on the Brit-
ish isles and collapse of the British
and French empires.
Some obeervers expressed belief the
British contraband control announce-
ment may have been a last-minute ef-
fort to deprive Italy of a powerful mo-
tive for entering the war.
British control of the Mediterra-
nean. dramatized by the blockade, baa
been the focal point of Fascist odium.

ROMS, May 37.—or —Italy ap-
peared Monday to be apeeding along
the road to war despite British hopes
of mollifying Italian bitterness against
Um allied blockade.
British asserted Italy had proposed
“a very satisfactory basil" for a con-
traband agreement but thia brought
no immediate sign of relaxation of
preparations of the Italian military
machine or dimming of the popular
spirit for intervention.
Moat Italians belived any relaxation
of the contraband control would fail
far abort of meeting Fascist “aspira-
tions'’ for territorial and other con-
caasiona ao long as the British held
the keys to Gibraltar and the Suez
canal, the two gateways to the Medi-
terranean which Italians cadi "mare
nostrum'* (our sea).
Aasarieaas Leave Malta
(A dispatch from Malta, British
Mediterranean base only 00 miles
from Sicily and ISO miles from
the toa of the Italian "boot,**
said Americans there had been ad-
vised to leave at Um earliest possible
moment.)
m the atmosphere of intense pre-
parations for war, these developments
occurred Bunday.

German troops attacked northeast

mand reported, five of 11 allied tanks

British Knvwy Leaves
The British announcement that
Italy had proposed "a very satisfac-
tory basis** for a contraband agree-
ment came as Sir Wilfrid Greene,
British economic expert, left Rome
after conducting negotiations regard-
ing the contraband control and trade
quesUons.
Foreign observers said they were
puzzled by the announcement becauee
they had been given to understand
that Mussolini had rejected both Eng-
lish and French offers as being "too
little and too late.”
The British were reported to have
been ready tn effect to lift the con-
traband control to permit large sup-
plies of raw materials to reach Italy

advance had made no considerable
progress for 4B hours.
The map of operations showed that
the allies still were struggling to
close the bottleneck of the German
salient to the coast by pr—Ing in
from Bapauase on the north and
Feroone on the oouth.
The British had a mw high com-
mander, just as the French gained
J csm a week ago. Lieut.-General Str
John Greer Dill became chief of the
Imperial general staff. General Sir Ed-
mund Ironsid*. who had held that of-
fice, was given command M the homo
force.
Thio apparently indicated the
French and British would use new
tactics against ths German drive and
also that more vigorous
would be taken to build up the de-
fense of Great Britain.
FARIS. May 27.—(UF)—An official
■tatement Monday said the French
*nd British fliers shot down M Ger-
man planes tn five hours of fighting
over Boulogne Bunday. The French
and British also destroyed 43 German
planes over Calais Sunday, it was said.

One German column was report-
ed advancing in a northerly direction
from the vicinity of Lille to meet an-
other Nazi force fighting southward
from Courtrai. Belgium.
The spearheads of these forces were
said to be less than IB miles apart.
If they meet, they would form an
iron ring around French and British
ttoops now fighting in the area
bounded by Lille, Valenciennes, Cam-
bral and Lens.

Nebraska Man Registers First
For Methodist Parley in City
No. 1 Delegate Arrives Early to Make Sure
He Has Convention Reaervation
w-r was not a desire to be the first delegate to register for the
*■* Methodist jurisdictional conference that sped Dr. Edwin C.
McDade, Lincoln, Nebn to the registration booth in Municipal au-
ditorium early Monday morning.
Proaaically enough, it war hto fall-O ...............................
ure to write or wire for a reaerva-
tion that caused him to hurrv from
a train to make certain of a place to
stsy.
Regardless of the cause, though.
Doctor McDade was the No. 1 dele-
gate to resistor—41B others are ex-
pected to follow him to the registra-
tion counter from cities and
throughout the eight states of the
south central jurisdictional area be-
fore the first formal session of the
conference in Municipal auditorium
Tuesday morning.
A TTENDING Methodist conferences
A is old wheat in the mill to Doc-
tor McDade, who is field repreeenta-
Uve of the Bryan Memorial hospital
at Lincoln. Neb., an institution given
to the Methodist church by the
“great commoner.”
As a matter of fact, he had hardly
gotten squared off with his dudes as
field representative after attending
the Methodist general conference at
Atlantic City. N. J., late in April
when he began preparing to leave
Lincoln by train for the conference
Doctor McDade commented on the
lack of any exhibit of sectional spirit
at the general convention in Atlantic
City, and said he didn’t expect to en-
counter any here, for "we don't feel
there is any sectional spirit at all”
in the newly united church.
A member of the jurisdictional
committee on hospitals and homes.
Doctor McDade will meet with the
Nebraska delegation. 13 ministers and
13 laymen, at 5 p. m. in the Skirvin
hotel to make final committee as-
signments and otherwise perfect or-
ganisation of the state’s delegation.
More Rain Needed
For Relaxation Of
Lawn Sprinkling Ban
Laks Overholser has received
slightly more than three feet of new
water from the recent rains, but is
not expected to gain as much as I
five feet of water unless more rain
falls. M. B. Cunningham, city water
superintendent, said Monday.
Although the city is not yet on
tha safe tide, the new flow will elim-
inate the necessity of drilling addi-
tional wella for the preeent, Cunning-
ham eaid.
A gain of two more feet of water
would put the lake at a level where
the lawn-sprinkling ordinance might
be relaxed at intervale during the
summer, but W. A. Quinn, city man-
ager, said under preeent conditions
no relaxation of enforcement would
be possible.
