October 24, (UP) Senator W. Lee O'Daniel of Texas an nounced today he will sponsor an amendment to the pending teen age draft bill to abolish time and one half over time pay requirements for work in excess of 40 hours a week.' His proposal in effect would abolish the 40 hours maximum work week provision of the fair labor standards act which provides that time and one ! half must be paid for all hours work ed in excess of 40 per week. O'Daniel told newsmen his amend ment would provide for "compensa-; tion at the same rate for all hours worked "for the duration of the war." It also would nullify existing con tracts between employers and em ployees so far as they call for more than straight time pay for work in ex cess of 40 hours a week. Shortly after O'Daniel's speech, Senator Hiram Johnson of California, a prewar isolationist leader charged that the proposed draft of 18 and 19 year olds would "liquidate" an en tire generation and leave no one af ter the war "to send this great re public on its way again." Johnson conceded that boys in their teens are "more dare-devil" than older men and are "ready to do any thing under all circumstances but that is the very reason why you should through our protective mantel about them to see that they do not do so." Johnson's speech was the first de nouncing the principle of a teen age draft already approved by the house. Senator George W. Norris of Ne braska introduced an amendment proposing that nothing in the lowered draft age act shall be construed as authorizing the sending of soldiers less than 19 years old into combat service unless they have had at least ens year's training.

Moscow, Oct.. 84 (UP) Semyon Timoshenko'8 relief army above Stal- -ingrad smashed into a German forti fied zone today, while the defenders of Stalingrad itself hurled back des perate new attacks and ran Nazi loss es up to at least 1,400 men and 15 tanks in 24 hours. Timoshenko's drive steadily gained momentum, and it seemed that he soon might realize his plan of slicing through the German left flank and trapping the Nazis at Stalingrad be tween his army and the defenders, fighting with their backs to the Vol ga within the city. Driving into the German fortified zone, his men killed 250 Germans and on a neighboring sector, killed 400 rumanians attempting to counter-attack and shot down eight planes. (Reports reaching London said that Timoshenko's onslaught against the German flank was stronger than ever and was nearing German main defensive positions northwest of Stal ingrad.) The Germans threw 6,000 men and many heavy tanks yesterday into con tinuous attacks against a factory for tress in northwestern Stalingrad, where they hoped to reach the Vol ga. Tneir errorts availed tnem noin- ing but heavy losses. The . noon soviet communique re ported the destruction of 11 more tanks, 13 trucks, two artillery batter ies and two companies at least 400 men of German infantry. At one point, it said, German tom my gunners penetrated the outskirts of the factory (probably the "Red October" foundry) and were wiped out to the last man. The Russians killed 1,000 of the attackers yester day and knocked down four tanks. It was the 11th day of a supreme German effort to crash through the northwestern part of Stalingrad. Confronted by unyielding resis tance, fearful losses, mud. rain, snow and cold, the Germans sharply dimin ished their attacks for several days. Evidently, they used the time to re group, before resuming their main drive yesterday. Several hundred planes blasted Russian positions. The army organ Red Star said 1,500 bombs were dropped yesterday. The Soviet noon communique car ried a note of confidence. "In the Stalingrad area, Soviet troops repulsed all attacks and des troyed 11 tanks, 13 trucks, two artill ery batteries and two companies of infantry," it said. "German tommy gunners penetrat ed the outskirts of a factory, but were completely annihilated. Soviet guards men in a raid burned or disabled five tanks and annihilated up to 200 Germans. "Northwest of Stalingrad (the theater of Timoshenko's counter-offensive) a Soviet unit broke into a fortified zone and the Germans left 250 dead on the battlefield. "On another sector, our men re pulsed an enemy counter-attack, wip ed out more than 400 Rumanians and brought down eight planes." We will appreciate phone calls of news itejrs from our readers. ore Eggs Heeded It is much cheaper for the nation as a whole to obtain the extra eggs from the birds now on the farm, than to get a few more eggs from larger farm flocks. . To reach such a goal the slogan "Keep Em Fed" by feeding Gooch's laying mash and pellets you can obtain more egg production from your hens at little extra cost. Keep the hens well fed and watch the egg case fill up with eggs. Plattsmouth Creamery Lower Main St. - Phone 94 Heme of Casco Cutter
