of the Board. The stipulation provides (1) that the words "in the
State of California" appearing in the definition of each appropriate
unit and voting group be deleted therefrom and that there be substi-
tuted in place thereof the words "in that portion of California south
of a line extended through Malaga and King City, California"; (2)
that in the definitions of bargaining units numbers 1, 2, and 3, the
words "production and maintenance" be deleted therefrom and the
word "paid" be substituted in place thereof; (3) that in the definition
of bargaining unit number 5, the words "production and maintenance"
be deleted therefrom; (4) that in the definition of voting group number
5, the words "production and maintenance" be deleted therefrom. The
stipulation is hereby approved and made a part of the record. We find
that the bargaining units and voting groups, previously defined by the
Board embrace only those employees of the. Company who are em-
ployed in that portion of California south of a line extended through
Malaga and King City, California; that the first three bargaining
units embrace all hourly paid employees, subject to the same inclusions
and exclusions; that the first category of excluded employees referred
to in the fifth bargaining unit consists of all hourly paid employees of
the manufacturing department; that the fifth voting group embraces
all hourly paid employees in the manufacturing department, subject
to the same inclusions and exclusions.
Since it appears that a longer time within which to hold the election
is necessary, the Direction of Elections is hereby amended by striking
therefrom the words "not later than thirty (30) days from the date of
this Direction of Elections," and substituting therefor the words "not
later than forty (40) days from the date of this Direction of Elections."
