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

JACKSON. 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.

Minimum Work Week Order
Raises a Bumper Crop of
Questions; Some Answered
By JAMES MARLOW
And GEORGE ZIELKE
WASHINGTON. 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

fore thou in Installing 48-hour
schedules, but adds that if an
employer can't reach a 48-hour
week by that time, he must say
then how much longer it'll take.
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.
