Time-and-a-Half Now Paid Park Employees For Overtime Work Concessioners' employees In areas administered by the na tional park service are now be ing given time and one-half for time over 48 hours per week un der standards approved by Oscar Chapman, secretary of the in terior, according to W. P. Leav itt. superintendent of Crater Lake National park. Previous overtime pay was at the rate of time and one-fourth. Regulations promulgated in 1949 would have reduced the standard work week to 44 hours. Concessioners protested, how ever, and effective date of this regulation has been twice post poned. Newton B. Drury, national park service director, has point ed out tiiat 48 hours is the stand ard work week for employees in the hotel and restaurant indus try in more than half the states which have established stand ards. He said that in the few states which have shorter work weeks, employees would be en titled to the benefits of the state regulations apply to both sexes.

George Kelly's play, "The Torch-bearers," opened last night in the senior high school audi torium and plays for the final time tonight. It is a crisp, satiri ical comedy that only a broad minded, fun-loving little theater group could present gracefully. It depicts another, deadly seri ous theater group in the midst of presenting a one-act drama. Their difficulties in rehearsal must have been closely paral leled by the Medford group in preparing "The Torch-bearers." Back-Slag Seen The rollicking second act Welfare Costs Up Over 1949, Down From March, 1950 General reports were reviewed at the meeting of Jackson coun ty public welfare commission held this week, with April fig ures showing a slight downward trend from March but continu ing the general upward trend over the preceding year. Old age assistance, cases for April numbered 1,065, six less than the preceding month and SO more than the same month a year ago. Aid for these cases to taled S57.786. as compared to $49,802 for the same month in 1949. General assistance totaled $16,448 for 292 persons, as com pared to $18,020 for 298 persons in March of this year, and $14, 999 for 266 persons in April of 1949. 25 Children Aided A total of 25 children were cared for in foster homes at a cost of $947, as compared to 28 for the same month in 1949 at a cost of $1,435. and 25 in March, 1950, for $1,073. Aid to dependent children. $15,738 for 399 children, varied little from $15,013 for 392 chil dren in March of this year but showed an increase over 346 children cared for at a cost of $12,948 in April of 1949. Aid to the blind remained stationary with 11 cases, receiv ing a total of $607 in April. Appeals Court Affirms Murder Conviction Frankfurt, Germany, May 12 (U.R) An appeals court today af firmed a 15-year prison sentence given Mrs. Yvette Madsen, Brooklyn, N. Y., brunette, for murdering her air force husband after a gay drinking party. Mrs. Madsen, 22, mother of two children, was convicted March 18. She shot Lt. Andrew Madsen. 32, of Oakland, Cat., last October 20 in their home here. During a sensational trial of more than a week, Mrs. Madsen broke up the procedings several times by collapsing or scream ing at the prosecutor. Dead Una Sunday Classified la ai Noon Saturdays. showed the play within a play in production. A cleverly designed set allowed the audience to see the torch-bearers back-stage, and the audience, no doubt, was won dering whether the Footlighters' backstage was in the same state of chaos as the torch-bearers'. Probably it was, but with less of a sense of impending doom. If the torch-bearers are to be considered typical, any adverse criticism of last night's play would be unthinkable homes would be broken, sensitive artis tic temperaments would be shat tered, and the highly commend able little theater movement would be killed aborning. There must be nothing but praise and flattery so that the actors will continue to carry the torch of Culture with a capital C to the American masses. But about the most appropriate comment that could be made about last night's performance is that Med ford's torch-toters seemed to be having a wonderful time and if they made mistakes, "the audi ence probably didn't even no tice it." No Start The playwright, wisely enough considering his subject, did not provide any starring roles and it would be difficult to say if any one member of the cast outshone another. There was no "distin guished" acting last night, but there was an almost unfailing sense of comedy. If the success should be measured by the laughter she managed to elicit from the audience, then probably little Frances Burton, in the role of a scatterbrained society ma tron, was a shade more success ful than the others. The play was under the direc tion of Mrs. Lenore Zapell and her cast each of professional calibre consisted of Hal New house. Jeanette Hampson. Char lene Pike. Laura Porter. Bernard Kelly, Frances Burton, James Sullivan. Ken Bushnell, Milo Hunt, Keith Hopkins. Aubrey Harris and Beverly Hampson, listed in the order of their ap pearance, not of their impor tance. Play programs were excellent ly planned, featuring thumbnail biographies of each member of the cast on the back page. Curtain time for tonight's per formance is 8:15 and tickets will be on sale at the door B.F. jr V X POLICE are searching for Alice Landabury, 21, Vassar senior, who mysteriously disappeared in New York.
