At the time of her death shewas still writing the column"Listen World,” which King Fea-tures Syndicate began distribut-ing in 1924 and which had beenrunning ever since.

In private life, Elsie Robinsonwas the wife of Benton Fremont,San Francisco engineer andgrandson of Gen. John C. Fre-mont

Began With Oakland PaperBorn in Benicia, across the

In 1923, she moved to SanFrancisco and began writing a

. column called "Tell it to Elsie”¦ under her maiden name for the

| strator. When that marriagefailed, she returned to Californiawith her son, George, jr„ who

GAO Ruling May ShrinkGovernment Work Week

The General Accounting Of-,flee yesterday made public a de-cision that could be the fore-runner of an ultimate 35 or 37hour work week throughout theentire Federal Government,.

Yesterday's decision, affecting4.000 Government Printing Of-fice employes whose wages areset administratively by the Pub-lic Printer and which are notsubject to negotiations, held ashorter work week than 40 hoursfor this class is legal.

Further, the ruling held theycan be paid overtime for hoursworked above the shortened workweek.

This follows a decision in Julyby Attorney General Brownellthat the Public Printer can le-gally set a shorter work weekthan 40 hours for the 2.300 GPOemployes in crafts whose wagesare set annually in negotiations.

Shortly after the AttorneyGeneral’s opinion was renderedPublic Printer Raymond Blatten-

Ruling Requestedburger asked the General Ac-counting Office for a clarifyingruling. He wanted to knowwhether a shorter work weekicould also be applied to the 4,000GPO employes whose wages areset administratively.

Yesterday's ruling by GAO isthe result

Mr. Blattenburger wanted toknow if the shorter work weekis agreed upon, would the GAOobject to establishing this shorterwork week or paying compensa-tion at overtime rates for allhours exceeding the shorter workweek for the recognized trades.

Further, he inquired if heshould establish a shorter workweek for all employes who donot fall within the conferenceprocedure of the Kiess Act. but 1whose wages are fixed by him, ;would the GAO object to the!

shorter work week for them orthe overtime payments.

Assistant Controller GeneralFrank H. Weitzel in yesterday’s;opinion held there is no legal!bar to establishing a work weekof less than 40 hours or over-time for the shortened week.

But regarding classified em-ployes in the Office of theSuperintendent of Documents,Mr. Weitzel ruled it is reasonableto “require an express authori-zation of the Congress” beforepermitting them a less-than-40-

,hour work week and overtimefor the lesser week.

Under Legislative BranchThe opinion pointed out that

it has been recognized that theGPO is under the legislativebranch of the Government.

But concerning employes ofthe Office of the Superintendentof Documents, the decision saidtheir rates of pay are set in ac-cordance with the ClassificationAct of 1949.

The decision held Congress didjnot intend to pay them their an-nual statutory salary for workingless time than the great bulk of

i employes occupying positionssubject to the Classification Act.

Observers said the Buearu ofEngraving and Printing and some800,000 per diem or wage boardemployes, of whom there aresome 30,000 in this area, wouldbe indirectly affected by yester-day's ruling. While the bureauusually follows the GPO in fix-ing salaries for correspondingclasses, per diem employes inother branches of the Govern-ment will doubtless make stren-uous efforts to secure a shorterwork week as a result of thislatest decision.

A shorter work week in theGPO cannot be set before nextMarch, when the present con-tracts expire.
