Govern men Expa nds
Machinery To Enforce
New Waqe-Hour Law
Washington U.R) The gov
ernment is expanding its wage
hour law enforcement machin
ery to handle the extra head
aches expected when the federal
jninimum wage . goes from 75
cents to $1 an hour on Mar. 1.
Administrator Newell Brown
told the United Press the agency
is opening 27 new permanent
field offices and adding 325 men
to its field investigating staffs.
This will bring the number of
offices to 68 and the staff to 800
men.
He said ' the expansion is in
tended to assure that there will
be no willful'evasion of the new
minimum Congress voted last
year.
Main Job Education
- His staff's main job, he said,
will be to "educate" employers
and employees alike on provi
sions of the act and how it af
fects them. The program, al
ready underway, includes spot
TV and radio announcements for
use by local stations.
The wage-hour law . applies to
some 24,000,000 workers en
gaged in or closely allied with
interstate commerce. They now
receive some $81,000,000 a year
in wages and the 25-cent hike in
minimums is expected to in
crease the total by $560,000,000
or some 0.7 per cent. . ,
South Increase Greatest
Brown said the increase will
have the greatest impact in the
south and his staff : expansion
will , be proportionately greater
' there.

Mrs. Ike took the dresses on
approval to. try them on in the

not care for some of the dresses, !
the store was more than willing
to take them back.

be a much more relaxed group of

about running again. The tension
among the staff has been notice

As We Live
By ELIZABETH HUUOCK, PH.D. ;'
Firm But Polite Stand ,
Needed With In-Laws
. People who like to run other
people's; lives and., meddle in
their affairs are not easily
rwr$mmm stopped, no
matter what
m e a n s' a r e
used. That : is
what I tried to
explain to the
woman . who
wrote:
(Q) "You us
ually do pret
ty well at run
ni n a ether
people s lives but the, other day,
you certainly gave that poor
devil who wrote you about his
meddling mother-in-law some
pretty lousy advice. I have had
20 years with a mother-in-law
and I know what they can do to
a marriage even if it is made in
heaven. I have had plenty of ex
perience with meddling, and. I
know it is impossible to take a
firm stand, as. you suggested.
The past 20 years have taught
me the only way you can win is
to put your foot down the very
first lime a mother-in-law butts
in. I was too polite to argue so,
for 20 years, I've suffered. When
I look back, it is easy to see what
a fool I was. I hope you will
advise young people to take a
stand before it is too late."
C.W.
(A) I do hot agree that the
only way you can handle a per
son who tries to interfere with
your affair is to put down your
foot at the very first. Also, t do
not agree the advice I gave was
"lousy." What fits one problem
may not fit another.
. Some people get along better
with others when they use one
set of tactics and some handle
problems , better with another.
Just because the advice I gave
someone . else would not have
worked in your case does : not
mean it would not work in other
cases.
Agrees With Stand
I do agree with you, however,
in the stand that you take re
garding interference from in
laws. But you can be polite and
firm at the same time. You do
not have to get into arguments
and say things that will hurt
people or cause family friction.
; When in-laws try to interfere,
the best approach is to listen to
what they have to say, as some
times their advice, based ,. on
greater experience, is well worth
considering. Then, if it is ap
parent their advice" or sugges
tions will not fit this particular
case, you can politely say so,
change the subject, and avoid all
arguments.
