FDR Faces Challenge
on SIS. 900 Top

WASHINGTON, Nov. 27-(R
Validity of President Roose-
velt's $4,000 maximum net
salary order is certain to be
challenged by the new congress
believes Chairman George 3D.
Ga) of the senate finance COM
mittee.
Indicating he believed the sa-
larry limit was invalid, George
told interviewer. yesterday he
believed it "unwise and unneces-
sary" and that the president had
mo authority to issue it,"
The senator predicted that the
order will be contested when the
treasury asks for legislation to
obtain additional revenue, eth
er through compulsory savings
or direct taxes, when a new tax
bill is considered by congress.
Instead of increasing receipts,
George commended that the $685.
900 limitation will cost the
treasury revenue because much
of the amounts over that figure
will be retained by companies
which pay at lower income rates
than the individual receiving sa-
laries in excess of that amount.
Economic Director James F.
Byrnes has estimated that an
would have to be
paid 500, 900 year to keep his
net income within SIS, 900 after
caring for fixed obligations and
federal taxes.
The president apparently
based his authority for the limi-
tation order on powers given him
by the economic sterilization act
passed by congress in October.

Additional Expense

LANSING, Nov. 81 - (R =
The State Social Welfare De-
partment Is watching with in
terest an experiment conducted
by the Selective Service system,
Army, Wayne County Defense
Council and public and private
welfare agencies designed to
screen" from Army inductions
men whose mental conditions
eventually may cost the state
and counties millions of dollars
in hospital care.
The department said the
Wayne County program, if con-
sidered successful, would be pro-
posed for statewide operation.
George F. Granger, Wayne
County Social Security super
visor, submitted to the depart
ment a report that the state al
ready has assumed q possible fl
nancial load of $4,2OO,0OO for
the care of 140 men w h e
minds suffered from Army life,
and that Wayne County might
be burdened to the extent of ST.
$50, 900 for Sc men.
1T would have cost only a few
dollars to screen them prior to
induction" Granger said.
The report said each mental
breakdown suffered by soldiers
during the first World War cost
the government about $50, 900.
In the current war, the Army
has ruled that any man who
shows physical or mental dis
ability within the first six
months of service or who is
found to have had such a condi-
ton prior to his induction must
be discharged and returned to
his home community for care at
local expense.
The report said 1T is esti-
mated that with SO per cent OF
these men, previous records, il
consulted, would have shown a
pre- disposition toward mental
breakdown"

said today, for the first time
since the British Eighth Army's
offensive was launched against
Marshal Rommel's Ell Alamein
line, Oct. %, that there is moth
ing to report from our land

relatively limited.
"A large force of medium

aircraft, causing fires.
Docks, gasoline depots and

on railway installations, freight
yards and warehouses.
Three Axis ships were dam
aged in a series of attacks, at sea
and in port, the communique
said.

the local Air Corps engineering
and maintenance shops. The
train is propelled by a Quarter
master Corps 20 ton gasoline To-
connective.
Purposes of the service are
manifold:
(1) Selfridge Field is certain
to fulfill its obligation in main
tanning a high morale for SOL
diers, who forever tire of seeing
khaki and yearn for fleeting
moments of civilian environ
ment;
(2) 1t saves walking to the
nearest main travel highway
which now is two miles away
due to detours necessitated by
the enlargement of the field
from 800 to 800 acres;
81 1t is significant this week
almost on the eve of gasoline
rationing which will minimize
a soldiers chance of getting q
lift" via automobile, wherever
he might walk;
az There is look, too, to the
future when the population of
the Field, being quadrupled in
size, will preclude any thought
of automobile or truck travel.
Colonel William T. Colman,
commanding officer of the field,
cooked up the idea late last sum-
mer. His dream became reality
after many weeks Of arrange
ments by 1t. Col. Daniel N.
Casey, Base Quartermaster. Aft
er the out-moded trailers were
obtained, the trucks of these
cars were removed, inspected,
ground, welded and reconstruct
ed in the interests of safety. The
air lines of the locomotive were
extended to the cars, in which
new gasoline heaters were in
stalled, with pipes and blowers
to distribute the warmth. The
lighting system of the trailers
was rehabilitated. An air sig
nal system was installed be-
tween the cars and engine. Old,
cracked paint was removed; new
Army olive drab daubed on at
tractively. And there are apropo
posters inside-where the chew
ing gum and cigarette advertise
ments used to be.
Today was chance for Colonel
Colman, on behalf of Selfridge
Field personnel, to thank those
whose efforts made possible the
Selfridge Flyer. Fifty guests
were given the first official ride
this afternoon.
Mount Clemens guests were:
Hon. D o n Id r. Westendorf,
mayor; Arthur I. Rosso, chief
of police; Ivan A. Johnston,
prosecuting attorney; and Paul
w. Mckee, publisher Of the
Daily Monitor-Leader.
The same rules will govern
operation of the "Selfridse
Road" as govern all railroads.
Quartermaster soldiers will be
on duty, trained ~ trainmen and
enginemen. And there's no oper-
alton personnel problem, either.
There have been more volun-
teers to work, in addition to 9TH
er duties, than can be accepted.

ny toO ADUOvsoeSo
America plunged back into
the Job of making hash of the
Axis today after beating its lus-
tiest drumstick tattoo on Thanks
giving.
Except for q brief interlude Of
religious observance and a heav-
ier-than-usual dinner fare, yes
terday was like many another
for most Americans who kept
the factories humming.
But the spirit Of Thanksgiving
wandered farther from its native
land than ever before, spreading
overseas to Americas fighting
men in far corners of the earth.
In England where London
newspaper explained the signif-
icance Of the holiday, thousands
of British homes were opened to
American soldiers. Roast pork
instead of the traditional turkey
was the main dish at overseas
bases.
Special services were held for
Americans in Westminster Alb
hey. Many Catholics observed
Thanksgiving at Westminster
Cathedral and the Jews at West
End Synagogue.
President Roosevelt's procla-
nation giving thanks for 'the
greatest harvest in the history of
our nation" was read in London
by Ambassador Winant who adj
ded an expression of gratitude
for recent victories.
There, the sick and wounded
of both Britain and America re-
ceived q touch of Thanksgiving
supplies Of turkey donated to
the hospitals by the United
States Army.
In Australia, too, the mess
tables Of our troops held plenty
of turkey and the menus bore q
message written by a chaplain,
Capt. Gerald Scanlon of Boise,
Idaho. offering thanks to "the
supreme being and father Of
ALL"
1--WE are grateful" it read,
"for the rich heritage that is
ours and the assurance that the
spirit and motives which inspir-
ed the Pilgrim fathers are to be
found in the fighting men of the
United States forces wherever
they may be-"
On the home front, many war
plant bulletin boards bore a
greeting to workers from Lieut..
Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower,

dictionary forces in North Africa.
