ALL This PAY
SLASHING MAY
BE RESCINDED
IT'S Predicted That Original
State Salaries viii
Be Restored.

Predictions We're made at the
Statehouse today that when the
smoke Of Governor Jackson's econ.
omy program of slashing State of
ficials' salaries is cleared away, no
fire would be revealed. 1t was fore
cast that the salaries would be put
back to where they were before cuts
were made.
The State finance committee, which
has met repeated opposition in or
dering the cuts and has rescinded
some Of it's actions, received further
opposition today in carrying out its
program.
Ruling for Auditor
Attorney General Arthur L. Gill
liom, at the request of state Auditor
Lewis s. Bowman, ruled that, when
ever a salary cut is accepted by a
State employee under protest the
full amount should be paid. A large
part of the salaries affected have
been accepted under protest and
Bowman was to decide late today
the extent to which he will dis
regard the committees order or fol-
low the ruling of the attorney
general. The possibility existed that
the auditor would disregard the
salary slashes and pay the salaries
authorized by the Legislature.
On Institutions
Saturday the Attorney General
ruled that the committee could not
change the salaries in State insti-
Buttons when it meets again in De-
cember.
The committee first cut the sala-
ries to save the State 100000 an
nually. The committee then reduced
this figure to between $4,000 and
$4,000. 1t was predicted today that
the committee would make further
retractions and leave in effect only
the few increases in minor salaris
it has made.
