BUT MAYBE NOT SO STRANGE Among the strange things happening In this dav of marvel Is the strike of WPA workers up North In latest against more hours of work. The strike. In which thousands are Involved.' grew out of the new federal relief act fixing flat wssres for s r< ISO hour month irrespective of union 1 wages. 1 Since a^hordy can make 130 hours a month hy working 6 1-2 hours a day J fc-r 20 days, the perday hours would i < tint seem to be much more than euougb td furnish setting-up exercts- ' m. \ Rut maybe it Is not so surprising t after all. The federal government i has given every encouragement for 1 shorter and shorter hours at more and more pay per hour. Irrespective J of the amount of work done, and re- ; lief workers perhaps are Justified in s thinking that It Is nothing more than 3 logical to assume that the goal ts s ' all pay and no work, with every day 0 Sunday by and by.

Washington Sn (Cont'd from front pace) be gam trickling back to Capitol Hill, many Congressmen Interested them Mires In the mltng. Now tome observers believe this may be part of the reason behind the resolution approved by the House Rules Committee for an lnvestigatlo not the WageHour Administration. The argument made at the Capitol is that this was not the inten of Congress when It a rote the Waged!our law, and that such Interpretations are beyond all reuson. All In all, the so-called bright young theorists who ait -behind big uvsks and rnakt) big decisions are tmding themselves more and more in disfavor with the Congressmen. That, perhaps, may be why Commerce Secretary Hopkins Is looking lor a group of mature and experienced men to take over the present Brain Trust actlvitls In his depart-1 iut nt. Hopkins has fifteen positions to fill, the salaries ranging from $6,040 to 19,000, but he wants real $40,000 a year men tor the, jobs. What Hopkins Is endeavoring to otiwnivo ttti$ uepcrrtmfcnt with a corps of highly trained specialists. The fifteen men he hopee to hire may be given the title of executive assistants. CRACK OF THE WEEK: At the he.'ght of the flghtover depriving the President of his power to devalue the dollar, a Press Clubber made this observation: "Weil, 1 see where the administration says that will give control of money back to rWall Street. After watch the handling of ..Lis - a ? - i'uutic iuna* ror me last six years, however that doesn't seem to conat'tute a serious threat. At least Wall Street has some idea ot the value of inoney." A story Is going the rounds of the military end diplomatic circles, which, If true, reflects vividly the unhappy state of things under a Com rnuolst regime (or any ' other Ism, for that matter). The story Is that ir> the Russian Army soldiers must turn in every empty cartridge. The bullets are rationed and If a soldier cannot produce ervery bullet or empty cartridge the penalty Is sometimes death. Reason Is, aooordlng to the story, that the Communist officials are fear ful of a revolt from the Iron fist rule of that form of government, and that no chances can be taken that somebody might be hoarding ammunition. ***** VITAL STATISTICS NOTE: The national birth rate, by the last census figures, was 18.6 and may be lower how.
