Special Children's Matinee JIB Of t S 8E0R6E TOBIAS and "BESS" Gradual Reduction Work Week to 30 Hours Proposed Chicago (U.R) A high rank ing union official here has pro posed a gradual reduction in the work week to 30 hours. Michael J. Boyle of the In ternational Brotherhood of Elec tricians, (AFL), said the nation may be in for another depres sion. Boyle, vice president of the nation's 6th district, voiced the opinion at a meeting of district leaders. "For over a decade our in dustrial economy has been on a high level of production and consumption due to a war-time and defense program, he said. "As we adjust to a peace-time production, a decline from this high level is certain. Such a decline may well carry within it the seeds of another depression." Boyle said millions of workers have been recruited and trained to meet the needs of expanded production and would be thrown into idleness by a decline of ser ious proportions. He called for preventive meas ures, and said that "one very practical and highly important measure is to reduce the length of the work day and work week." "We propose that the present standard of five eight-hour work days be reduced gradually to five six-hour work days without any reduction in take-home pay," he said. "In certain industries such as transportation, where it may not be feasible or practical to read ily so reduce the work day, an eight-hour work day may be re tained but the work week re duced from five to four days." Womon Faints After Punching Policeman Maryville, Tenn.

(International) Psychologists Ease Billboard Reading Ithaca, N. Y. U.R) Psy chologists at Cornell university have decided how to make bill board advertising easier to read. Their studies showed. The brand name should be as close as possible to the left of the slogan or sentence. Words become progressively harder to read the farther they are to the right of the message. The brand name should be dis tinctive in size, color or shape from other words. However, if the difference is too great, both it and the rest of the sentence become harder to read. Lines, arrows or curves, es pecially in a different color from the words, "pull" attention to the brand name and sentence. A square, circle or other outline in the same color surrounding the brand name cut down legib ility.
