POLICE CAR DAMAGED WHEN TIRE EXPLODES IN REAR COMPARTMENT A police cruiser suffered minor damages last night due to an unusual explosion which momentarily disturbed the two-man crew. Patrolmen J. H. Steele and G.

T. Ball were cruising along the streets of the city during the evening when their car was rocked by the explosion, which occurred in the baggage compartment in the rear. Attempts to investigate the cause were frustrated temporarily 'by the fact that the force of the explosion had sprung the deck door, making it impossible to open it without the services of a mechanic. When it was opened, the officers discovered they were not victims of a saboteur, but that a spare tire carried in the compartment had blown out with terrific force, springing the door not damaging the cruiser's radio equipment, also installed in the compartment.

The young captain on the other end of the wire asked if there were any particular group of men she would like. "Oh," she said, "Anybody but Jews." On Sunday at the hour appointed ten -white-toothed, robust colored boys arrived on the lady's doorstep and announced to the maid that they had come for dinner. The maid asked them to wait.

She consulted her mistress who came out to them in consternation. "What do you want?" she asked. "Captain isays we were asked here to dinner." "There must be some mistake," the lady gasped. "No mam. There ain't no mistake.

Our Captain Goldstein don't never make no mistakes." Speaking of soldiers, a truck load of brown, chesty young men in uniform passed us while we were getting gas. With sober dignity they gave us the sign. We glowed with a warmth of fellowship and replied enthusiastically with the two finger Victory signal. People here are holding their cars to forty miles an hour. They claim a noticeable economy in gasoline.

Maybe there will be fewer peace-time casualties with the conservation of gas. "Casualty" is a thing about which one should not be casual. When people argue that the last war did no good, have they forgotten that we have had twenty- three more years of democracy after the last struggle for it? Marriage should not mean that courtship is ended. If it is worth anything, it is worth eternal self- sacrifice, protection, and awareness. So, with freedom.

DIAL 4564 THE HIGH POINT ENTERPRISE Administrator Tells State Federation Of Labor law Forcing Employer to Improve His Efficiency CHARLOTTE, Aug. 11. Gen.

Philip B. Fleming, administrator of the federal wage and hour division, said today that an unexpected but beneficial effect of the wage and hour law was that it forced "the employer to improve his efficiency, and one way he is doing that is by improving the conditions under which his employes work." Speaking before the annual convention of the North Carolina State Federation of Labor, Fleming said "it has long been fashionable to say that labor in this country is not a commodity, but until recent years there was little in law to prevent some unscrupulous employers from treating labor as though it were. There was nothing to prevent them from paying. 5 cents an hour, working labor 60 or 70 hours a week, and when it was exhausted going out and hiring a fresh batch at 5 cents an hour. They can't do that any they are subject to the wage and hour law they can't.

Nowhere in this country today can they get a worker for less than 30 cents an that worker has been properly certified to receive a lower rate as a learner or handicapped person, or is in a category specifically exempt from the minimum wage provision. As to hours, such employers have become much more cautious. Overtime has become expensive." KID OP INEFFICIENT!" The administrator asserted that employers once had an opportunity to cut wages to increase profits, "but now the employers can't cut below the 30- cent minimum. He can no longer deduct the price of inefficiency from his wage bill. Consequently, employers are getting rid of- inefficiency." Fleming went into detail about operation of the law, how it affected industries and the method by which minimum pay is set, after lengthy investigations and public hearings.

He went on to the question of overtime pay and asserted that "there certainly is nothing new or revolutionary about, time and a half for overtime." "The public," he said, "accepts it as fair and proper. Both federal and state governments for many years have insisted upon it for employes of contractors engaged on public works. The wisdom of the overtime provision is being daily demonstrated in connection with the national defense pro- grain, for it is having the effect of spreading employment at a time when maximum output is vitally needed from everyone able and willing to work." He said he believed the wage and hour law was a real contribution to defense, "and that "even in this part of the country, where many once feared any wage minimum would have a disastrous effect on business, it is growing daily in acceptance." BROUGHTON CRITICIZED Criticism of Governor J. M. attitude toward or- 1 ganized labor was voiced yesterday by James F.
