T PS BETTER THAN WAGES
LOS ANGELES, May — Car
hops, those pretty, smartly uni
formed girls who serve you
drinks and sandwiches at drive
in cafes, present a problem in
wages.
Customers insist on tipping
them lib-rally, yet the state con
tends that regardless of this they
are entitled to California’s $16-a
week minimum wage. One pro
prietor testified that though he
paid car hops only $1 a day in
salary, their actual earings rang
ed as high as $70 a week.
“The time is past,” says a Nazi
Foreign Office organ, "when un
authorized powers can concern
themselves in regions foreign to
them,” Yes, yes, but has Adolf
been told?
Aliens Barred
From Fisheries

scl-at-Uarge tor the Departmen*
i of the Interior, and approved by
! the Solicitor General, the Sec

i U. S. Attorn y General.

zenship may fish, but those inel
igible for citizenship. such as
Japanese and those Filipinos who

Fishing Defined
The prohibiton on alien fishing
j extends to anything construed as
I constituting fishing operations or

Aliens ineligible to fish, how

strongly that in the present em
ergency, reappointment of Gen

Reserve Corps should be restrict
ed to those whose employment in

and th-n only after the physical
fitness of the officer is investi
gated and found satisfactory by
Army doctors.

to reappointment as he is only
58 years old but the War De
partment brought up the ques
tion of physical fitness.
