 "ft doesn't matter how many Chinese are killed" he says. There are so many of us."
 Mao is character. He is a graduate of the Whangpao Military Academy and knows all the stock arguments. On our final day here he burst into our room followed by his whole staff. With the air of a happy child he pulled out a bottle of grape wine. They had gotten the only bottle in town, for us. They poured two glasses full and when we slipped at it, they said, "No, don't be polite, go ahead drink" They wouldn't drink any themselves.
 we know all Americans like to drink" they said.
 We have quite 8 little office around us here in Huailai. The office is that of the adjutant's staff. There's a telephone worked by bat teries, stack of account and note books, new benches and tables.
 Of course, this is regular Chin csc style house. I don't know who it belonged to before the troops came, but guess it was occupied by a well-to-do middle class family.

Her counsel, Attorney William K. LaWlor, said that he could not account for the difference. After considerable con- sultation the continuance was made. Assistant Corporation Counsel Tim othy s.

RULING AFFECTS
 STATE EMPLOYES
Salaried Staff Informed No Allowance Made For
 Overtime Work

Under a merit system approved yesterday by Governor Wilbur L. -Crosl salaried employees of the state will receive no more overtime pay for overtime work. The plan goes into effect immediately.
 Inspectors of the state highway department will be affected chiefly by the new order. The highway department, which has been paying inspectors for overtime when they were required to work on a road building project during Sundays or holidays, will arrange a system of giving extra time of for such over time.
 An opinion by Attorney General Charles J. Mclaughlin held that overtime pay for salaried employees is contrary to the spirit of the state constitution and in violation of the general statutes.
 This regulation does not affect persons employed on an hourly rate of pay, such as the mechanics and road crews of the department.

He is withholding definite action on legislation, he said, until Dr. George Gallup, director of the Institute of Public Opinion, has had an oppor- tunity to submit questions to Ameri- can motorists to determine their willingness to pay a reasonable toll charge for the safety and convent nee of super-highway system.
 Senator Lonergan said that several methods of financing are under con- sideration but the Bureau of Public Roads. There seems no doubt, he said, that a satisfactory way can be found for financing the projects, guaranteeing the government against JOSS, assuring investors fair return on their investment, and at the same time providing a "fill-in" program of road building for the next few years during temporary curtailment of regular federal aid appropriations.
