GLADDEN. FIGHTS
FOR PAY BOOST
Judge Chamberlin Holds Up
Salary Decision.

Litigation over the $1,000 a year
salary boost for Fred T. GLADDEN.,
Marion county school superinten-
dent, took on new angle today,
after attorneys had filed with Circuit
Judge Harry o. Chamberlin a
decree in the case, agreeing on the
facts in the issue, but disagreeing
on the law involved.
GLADDEN. hopes to force the
Marion county council and county
commissioners to pay him $4,000 a

of nine township trustees, who
allowed him the raise. The council
not only has disallowed the in
crease, but has cut the salary to
$2,400, effective Jan. l.
The decree was filed Friday by
Emsley w. Johnson, counsel for
GLADDEN., and was approved as to
form by County Attorney Clinton
H. Givan. Judge Chamberlin took
the case under adviSement.

Emaciation Testimony to
Hardships Undergone
by Explorers.

BB United Press
WINNIPEG, Manitoba, Dec. T.
Twenty gaunt, tired heroes of the
McAlpine epic of the northern ice
were home to civilization today after
battling death in the Arctic wastes
for nearly four months.
Three planes swooped down from
the northern skies Friday bringing
Colonel G. D. H. McAlpine, fellow
members of his exploring party, and
their rescuers. They had flown from
The Pas, Manitoba, after reaching
there from the point beyond the
Arctic circle where they were ma
rOoned.
Colonel McAIpine and his men,
missing and believed dead while the
foremost aviators of Canada kept
up a relentless search until the
party was found, were in good
health, but their faces were thin
and lined, mute evidence of hard
ships and toll.
Toes Amputated
One member of the McAlpine
party, which was lost while search
ing for copper deposits in the fro
zen barrens, still was in the far
north. Dan Goodwin was in hos
pital at The Pas, where some of his
toes were amputated Wednesday.
They were frozen while he and his
companions were awaiting rescue.
Although no member of the group
shirked danger or grueling toll, in
light of the high tribute paid all
by Colonel McAlpine, none would
take personal credit.
"The real heroes were the rescu-
ers and the mechanics who repaired
the damaged planes with the tenn
perature far below zero so the trip
could proceed" said McAlpine.
The leader frankly termed the
expedition q failure" because it
failed of its objective, but said valu-
able information regarding the ma
ture of the country had been OBJ
tanned. He expressed concern over
two airplanes left at Dease Point
and said they would be salvaged
at the close of the freeze-up.
"Our Eskimo friends supplied us
with food and aided us in other
ways" McAlpine said. IT don't
know what we would have done
without them.
Major Breaks With Them
"Only in details did we have bad
luck" he went on. "The major
breaks were all with us. Not once
did we have any grounds for losing
hope. Every man Of the party
pitched in and did his part"
Colonel McAlpine's first thought
when he arrived was bath. When
he had bathed and been to a
barber. He put on a business suit
for the first time since leaving his
home in Toronto six months ago. 1t
sagged from his shoulders and was
too loose at the waist, teStifying to
pounds lost under the strain.
He said he believed white men
could live in the far north II
mineral or other economic develop
ment provided the lure.
Houses suitable to the climate
could be built" he said. Although
food would have to be brought IN
from the south. The general health
of my party is ample proof the far
north is healthy place to live"

snaps that caused more than seven
ty-five deaths and much suffering
in the last three weeks.
Thermometers in the northwest
began announcing the approach Of
the latest wintry onslaught late
Friday, when the mercury dropped
to near zero. Over the Canadian
boundary it was much colder, with
a low point at F't. Smith on the
Great Slave river of 80 below.
BY today the chill had spread far
down through the central states.
The forecast for the area about
Chicago was rain, changing to snow
as the day wears on, with very cold
tonight. 1t will be even colder Sun
day, the weather bureau forecast
said.
Storm warnings were posted for
Lake Superior and upper portions Of
Lakes Michigan and Huron and it
was expected other lake areas would
be added.

United Press staff Correspondent

WASHINGTON, Dec. THE way
was being smoothed for the tax re-
duction resolution by senate leaders
today.
The house resolution granting a
S160,000,000 reduction to individual
and corporation taxpayers on pay
mentS to be made next March was
taken up in an executive session Of
the senate finance committee.
Chairman Smoot served notice he
throught it would be waste of time
to give the measure any extensive
consideration, as the committee
members already have the evidence
the treasury department gave the
house, assuring the congress that
the reduction is warranted by the
condition of the treasury. Smoot
wants no witnesses called and ex-
poets the committee to report the
resolution later in the day.
Republican Floor Leader Watson
announced he would try to get the
measure before the senate when it
reconvenes Monday noon, even If
such action results in temporary
displacement of the tariff bill.
Democrats for 1t
Assurances were given Simultane-
ously by Senator Simmons of North
Carolina, ranking Democratic flnan-
cial leader, the Democrats would go
along for the resolution in the form
1t passed the house.
Commenting upon reports that a
scattered opposition is being worked
up in favor of few amendments,
Simmons told the United Press:
"T would be in favor of making
the reduction permanent, but Secre-
tary of Treasury Mellon says he has
no assurances that he will have a
surplus beyond next year, so con-
slider it feasible to allow the meas
ure to remain temporary.
There does not seem to be much
advantage to be gained by the Sug-
gestion that the measure should not
be retroactive on incomes of this
year. AS it is temporary PROPOSE
ton, can not see much to be
gained by delaying the corporation
tax year"
Senator Couzens (Rep, Mich)
who was reported to have been
planning the amendment to prevent
the reduction from being effective
on corporation returns next March,
said he had not yet made up his
mind.
Calls 1t Bonus
'"The arguments of the treasury
always have been that tax reduc
Cion reduces the cost of living" he
said. IF that Is the case, the cost
of living this year already has been
paid, and 1 can see no advantage in
giving a bonus of $100,000,000 to
the corporations.
The opposition seems to be scat
tered and in view of Simmons
statement, can not be expected to
attract sufficient Democratic votes
to hinder early passage OF the res
olution. Leaders think 1t should be
passed in the senate next Wednes-
day or Thursday.
The senate took a rest until Mon
day after disposing of the Ware case
Friday, and working on the wool
schedule of the tariff bill.
There is possibility that the Gre
dentials of three new senators may
be offered Monday.
SenatorS-DeSignate Baird of New
Jersey and Sullivan of Wyoming
are due here then, and it is antici-
pated a successor will be selected
by that time to fill the vacancy
caused by the ousting of William S.
Ware of Pennsylvania.

terror department appropriation bill.
