CLAIM FAILS Public Service Transfer Case An aCtlan hrmiOhr naln.l Commonwealth by William Charles Chalmers, of Oberon- reei, Kandwlck. claiming 116 for overtime worked In the Commonwealth public service, to which he was transferred temporarily from the State service In September. 1942, failed when came ueiore tne run High Court yesterday. The matter was referred to the Pull Court on a case stated bv Mr.

Justice McTlernan. Had Chalmers remained with the State he would have been required to work only on one Saturday In six, but when he transferred to the Commonwealth he worked everv Saturrinv received 243 in overtime from the Commonwealth, but had he worked every Saturday in the I State service his overtime would 1 have amounted to 359. It was this balance of 116 which he I claimed from the Common-! wealth. The court held unanimously that a State public servant who was transferred to the Common-1 wealth service during the war was 1 governed by the provisions of the Commonwealth Public Service Act. It also decided that the usual office hours of the Commonwealth public service, and noi.

mose oi tne state service should govern overtime rates There should therefore be Judgment for the defendant. OVERSEAS MAILS Time at Elizabeth-st. Post Office BY Canada, 3 p.m.. October 22; United, Kingdom, 10 a.m., to-morrow; New Zealand, noon, to-day: South Africa, 10 a.m., tomorrow. BY AIR.

Plnality nas not been reached on the question of bringing expert Norwegian whalers to Australia. The Prime Minister (Mr. Chlf- ley) said to-day the discussions on tne matter had been conditional on Australia re-entering Ihe Industry. The question would not be considered further until after the new Cabinet had been appointed. It was stated officially last week the suggestions haa been examined for bringing about 500 skilled Norwegian whalers to Australia as the nucleus of about 1500 who would be needed to man shins and whaling installations.

The proposal put before Ministers envisaged the settlement of these skilled men in communities In Tasmania and west Australia but this met with some opposi tion, as it conflicted with the Government nollcv. which is op posed to the establishment of communities of migrants.

Control of Jute The Indian Government Trade Commissioner In Australia and New Zealand advlf.es that the jute price control order of 1945 lapsed on Seplember 30, 1946. The power to control Internal prices of jute and jute goods has now reverted to the provinces. However, the provinces of Assam and Orissa are arranging to continue to control prices at current levels, while Bengal has preferred to refrain from doing so. The power lo control export prices still remains with the Central Government, and accordingly the Government of India has decided to continue to control them at the prevailing price levels through a jute export con trol order which came into effect from October 1.

The need for the control of export prices for jute, the trade commissioner states, has been dictated largely by the Government's desire to do all it can to ensure equitable supply of packing material to consuming countries at reasonable prices, and to combat inflationary tendencies present in India.

Aid to Widow "My father served In France with the Royal Engineers, and was killed In 1915; my mother remarried, and her second husband also served in the First World War.

He came to Australia In 1926, served in Australia in the last war, and died at Caulfield Hospital In 1944. My mother Is existing on the old-age pension of about 27 a week. Is this the best that pan he done for her A. W. MacAuley, Whyalla, S.A.

If your step-father's death Is accepted by Repatriation department as due to war service with Australian forces In the last war', your mother would be entitled to the repatriation widow's pension.
