GOVERNMENT BUSY

Agencies Start Working
On Assignment From
Sterilization Head

WASHINGTON, Oct. % R -
Four government agencies acted
swiftly today to set up nationwide
wage and salary controls in ac-
cordance with a sweeping order
limiting net salaries to $25, 900 and
banning all pay raises or decreases
not in accordance with regulations.
Treasury officials went into hur-
ried conferences on the task as

and indicated they would announce

charitable contributions, life insur-
ance premims and fixed obliga-
tions. The Treasury also will con-
troll payments to lower-salaried exc
ecutive and professional personnel.
The War Labor Board handed
the job of stabilizing all wages
and most salaries up to $1,000,
said it would have far-flung sys-

Second Withdrawal

|SABOTEUR SHOWS
ANGER in COURTS
Nazi Who Came To U. S.
By Sub, Resents Law
yer's Implication

CHICAGO, Oct. 28.-(R-Ernest
Peter Burger, one of the eight
Nazi saboteurs who were snug
gled into the United States by SUBJ
marines, finished his story of the
plot today, with a display of anger
over the question of whether he
had saved his skin by turning
against his confederates.
He was on the witness stand at
the trial Of six German-Americans
on treason charges when Defense
Attorney Paul Warnholtz asked:
Were you promised immunity if
you testified against other mem
bers at the military commission
trial in Washington"
Burger drew himself up stiffly
stared haughtily at the lawyer and
declared:
Il may remind you, sir, that
you are speaking to a German SOL
dier. The United States govern
ment respected me by not offer
ing any promises. I expect the
same of you, sir.''
Burger and George John Dasch
were sentenced to prison w h n
their six fellow conspirators were
condemned to death, and Attorney
General B;ddle later reported they
had "helped considerably in pre-
pairing the case against those who
were executed.
Earlier, Burgers account of how
the saboteurs were trained in the
Reich for a destructive campaign
against American war plants was
completed by his testimony about
how they received approximately
$153, 600 to finance their mission,
and how his squad of four came
ashore on Long Island in rubber
boat shortly after midnight on
June 13.
He related they buried their uni
forms and boxes of explosives, don
ned civilian attire, went to the
Amagansett railroad station, took
a train to Jamaica, bought new
clothing and split into pairs. He
added that he and Dasch went to
New York, where he was arrested
in a hotel room by the FBI, but
he did not tell how he was found.
On cross examination, Burger
gave these b it's of information
about the military commissions
secret trial of the saboteurs: there
were great number" of charges.
The eight were tried at the same
time, and all testified. There was

WASHINGTON, Oct. 2s-
R)-Japanese trying to take

Navy announced today in a
communique which also de-
scribed the damage to enemy

these announcements today as in
dicating that the fighting in the
Solomons was in hull. They en-
phasized however, that there was
nothing to indicate that Japanese
naval forces had withdrawn from
the area of the fighting.
After a series of furious sea bat
ties which erupted at evera
points in the vicinity of the Solo
mons over the weekend, it was
only natural that both sides should
be catching their breath and taxi
ing stock of the resulting situation.
Describing the losses in the land
fighting, the communique said:

ran their countries but failed to
quel their love OF liberty.
Italy observed an anniverary
also, the Goth of the Fascist march
on Rome. The celebration, far
more subdued than in previous
years, centered about Premier Mu-
ssolini, who opened a war exhib-
ton but did not speak.
Adolf Hitler sent kilograms of
best wishes and congratulations
to his companions-in-arms, Mus
solini and King Vittorio Emanuele.
The Czechs celebrated the d
anniversary of the birth of their
government with a service at St.
PauPs cathedral. The Archbishop
of Canterbury predicted that the
nation would rise again.
The Czech government, giving
a picture of the terror in the
homeland, reported that 286 Czechs
were put to death between July
and September 30.
Official German figures, the
Czech government went on, show
ed 1876 Czechs had been executed
between May % to July 8.

City To Continue Battle
On Rates, Says Mayor

The decision of the stated utili-
ties commission to leave present
Tide Water Power company rates
unchanged has not affected the de-
termination of the city and county
to continue the fight for lower
residential and commercial rates
for New Hanover consumers,
Mayor Hargrove Bellamy said yes
terday, and added that he pre-
dicted that the commissions de-
cision would not go uncha1lenged.
"It is to be regretted that the
people of Wilmington are to- be
deprived of their birthright of
equal advantages and oppestaais
ty, and are to be faced with the
decided handicap of excessive and
non-competitive rates in their post
war economy" Bellamy declared.

Mount
The mayor commented that the
utilities commission had ignored
significant facts in the testimony
of H. Finder, a Federal Power
commission analyst who testi-
fled for the city and the county
before the commission on Octo-
ber 9, in citing Finders report as
a basis for their rejection of the
city's and county's request for an
investigation of the Tide Water
Power company.
II doubt seriously that the COM
ments made by the Utilities COM
mission, in connection with Mr..
Zinder's presentation, will remain
unchallenged and venture to pre-
dict that later findings, both by
the Federal Power commission and
the Securities and Exchange COM
mission, will reveal many incon-
sistencies and will fail to substan-
tiate the grounds upon which the
North Carolina Utilities commits
sion rendered their decision" the
mayor declared.
1t is significant that in the COM
missions statement, as reported
by the Associated Press, they failed
to make reference to the fact that
Mr.. Finders presentation was
based entirely on figures prepared
and presented by the Tide Water
Power company and which were
neither accepted nor approved by
the Federal Power commission.
This Mr.. Finder emphasized in
his presentation and further stat
ed:
In fact, the company has ad-
vised the commission that they are
undertaking a more detailed study
and will want to revise the report
already submitted. It may reason
ably be expected that after the
revised study is received, the com
