A letter re ceived by the Commandos from Sourdough Trapper, 71, Weathers Long Ordeal DAWSON, Y. T.. Feb. 13 (CP) With hands and feet frozen In 60 below weather and unable to proceed further because of a broken snowshoe, George Ortell, grizzled 71-year-rold. sourdough trapper and hunter, stopped on the trail, banked snow about his knees, and stood there more than 20 hours until help arrived. Ortell is now in St. Mary's hospital here, courageously fac ing the prospect of amputation of his hands and. feet, but de termined to take up, his life where he left off.. .'. . ! "Save what you -can, Doc," he said to -Dr; Allah Duncan, who is attending him. : "I've got to hobble around . somehow. .Figure on getting me a bunch of mighty fine beaver, over on the MqQuesten. later: this year." - Running short of grub in his cabin at the head of Johnston gulch, Ortell set out for Mayo, 30. miles away. He .. thought nothing of the 60 below weather. But half way to his destination the webbing on one of his snow shoes broke. - He froze bis hands trying to fix it, then kicked off the other snowshoe and pushed ahead through the deep snow. The going was too tough-and he realized he could go no farther as his feet by this time were freezing. He remembers stepping off to the side -of- the trail, carefully banking the snow Grand Coulee Dam Output Upped to -399,000 Kilowatts GRAND COULEE, Wash., Feb. 13 (P) Output of the Grand Coulee dam was stepped up to 399,000 kilowatts yester day as the first of the 75,000 kilowatt generators "borrowed" from Shasta dam went into op eration.

Corporal Bud D'Easum of the RCMP and Trapper Dick Kimbell came along the trail from Mayo many hours later the exact number Ortell cannot remember and were astonished to see the snow-banked ice encrusted figure of Ortell stand ing erect, looking like a creature from a lost world. They rushed the old-timer to Mayo where first aid was ap plied, and he was then taken by plane to Dawson., He told hospital attendants that he real ized that his only chance for life on the trail was to remain stand ing, but even experienced north erners are amazed that the man had the courage and sheer will power to go through such an ordeal.

Miss., Feb. 13 (P) Nineteen white convicts, several described as desperate, escaped from the state penitentiary at Parchmau early today after overpowering a night-watchman and seriously injured a guard. Four of those in the break, largest in the penitentiary's his tory, were involved In a recent escape which ended when one was killed and three caught near Corinth. Shot Way Out Superintendent M. P. L. Love of the penitentiary said the men rushed the night watchman at the camp when he opened the door of the dormitory type cage so the cooks could go to the kitchen to prepare breakfast. After overpowering the watch man, the prisoners then took his keys and shot their way from the one story building. They went to the home of the guard, a Sergeant Upchurch, just outside the wire barricade, and forced him to give them the keys to his car. When he sought to resist, they hit him over the head with a gun taken from the night watchman. The convicts also comman deered a red state truck, Love said.

Feb. 13 P) The 48-hour minimum work week order has raised a bumper crop of questions. It'll take soma time to reap all the answers, but some are ready now: One of the early doubtful points was cleared up by the In terpretation that employes in affected areas who aren't cover ed by the fulr labor standards act or union contracts won't neces sarily get tlmc-aiid-a-hnlf for hours worked 'in excess of 40 a week that'll bo a matter for bargaining between employe and employer. Tho fair labor standards law, specifying overtime pay after 40 hours, specifically exempts from its provisions such groups as do mestic servants, employes of re tail or service establishments whose selling or servicing is all or mostly within a state (rather than interstate); agricultural workers and processors of agri cultural commodities "in the area of production." However, the war manpower commission points out that an employer In one of these non- covered lines might lose his workers if he decided to pay "straight time" for additional hours whllo another employer across the street might be offer Ing time-and-a-half or if ho In creased the work week to 48 hours but kept his employes at their present 40 hours' pay. Some quarters advance the theory that an increase in hours but none in pay might be con strued as a decrease in pay and therefore be banned under tho wage and salary stabilization orders. What about exceptions to the 48-hour week in which WMC might decide a shorter week 'would more effectively con tribute to the war effort?" These, it is indicated, would be ap proved for hazardous or ex tremely fatiguing Jobs. (In this connection: The war labor board has said an Industry could start paying overtlmo below the 40-hour mark.) How immediate will be the effects of the order in the 32 designated areas? In many of them, it appears, workers gen erally are working 48 hours al ready. In any case, WMC has set a deadline of March 31, says nobody,) is, to be discharged bf ;.-. ?3 V m 'j 1 a a JUDY fifN MURPHY.

What about persons employed outside tho areas named so far? WMC is encouraging employurs everywhere to go to 48-hour schedules if that will avert need for hiring additional workers.
