spector," has another legal contest on
his hands before he can get the 5000
which he says is due him from the
state for salary. Though the court is-
sued writ ordering DIR. w. w. Yard

the warrant. In May, Lorje's dismis-
sal was ordered by Governor Ammons

urer Leddy says that he will not pay
the warrant for Lorje's salary until
ordered to do so by the court. His
stand, Leddy says, is backed by Gov
ernor Ammons.
