WASHINGTON, June 8. CUP)-
Senate and house conferees formal
ly agreed today on legislation es-
tablishing $50 a month as the base
pay for the lowest ranks in the
armed services, making Uncle Sans
soldiers. sailors and marines the
best-paid fighting men in the world.
Their agreement had been a fore
gone conclusion, since yesterday
when the senate voted for the $50
a-month minimum. Both houses
also are virtually agreed on legisla-
ton for establishment of a system
of allowance for dependents of those
men in the armed orces earning up
to S78 a month.
Only formahties remain to be OBJ
served on the military pay bill. The
new scales take effect June l and
compare with the S45-a-month pay
of the Australians, the next highest
paid fighters, and the 30 cents a
month paid the japanese private.
The Soviet Union pays its privates
about 81 month.
The senate received from the
house a dependents bill. passed
without record vote, carrying allow
anceS of $50 and up for families
of men drafted into the armed SER
vices. The house harmonized its al

now helpless planes hovered over
them. and he saw smoke and flame
leap into the sky as great explo-
SionS ripped through their hulls.
MEN RESCUED
When the dive bomber attack
ended one of the Kaga carriers was
aflame from bow to stern.
Gay saw vain attempts to rescue
the crews and Japanese cruiser
pump shells into one of the carriers
in an attempt to sink it with its
crew. He saw a destroyer rescue
some men.
AS night fell. he saw japanese
planes still lowering above their
mother ship, those that were left,
which now was utterly useless TO
them. and next day. when a navy
plane rescued him, black life RATS,
the debris and great oil patches
were left to tell of the disaster which
had befallen the enemy fleet.
Gay was certain that one Kaga
carrier was sunk and thought the
two other carriers probably sank
AS they were burning fiercely when
he last saw them and United States
forces were on the scene in force
1t seemed hardly likely that nei-
ther survived.

House 0kays wPA
Fund to Employ
100000 ReIiefers

WASHINGTON, June 8. CUP)-
The house appropriations committee
today approved President Roose-
velt's request for $28O0OO,OO0 to op-
crate a draSticaiiy curtailed Work
Projects Administration program
during the fiscal year beginning
July l.
The fund will provide WPA en-
ployment for an average of 100000
workers during the year, and is eX-
pected to force dismissal this sum-
mer of about 100000 relief workers.
Mr.. Roosevelt asked $465, ,000,0 ,000
for WPA in the budget message he
submitted to congress in January
but recently he lowered the figure
to $3.50 100000 because war industries
are taking up much of the slack in
unemployment.
The committee reported that de-
spite war production, there still
would be some unemployment be-
cause of such factors as industrial
dislocation and a growing labor
force.
The committee estimated that
unemployment in the current fiscal
year averaged 100000 and that next
year 1t will drop to between 2,500,0O0
and 100000.

He said he was certain that a

of the same class and a smaller

battle from a bullct-riddled rubber

The Kaga and her lone sister
ship, the Akagi, are Japan's biggest

able of launching so planes, and
if both were sunk it was a heavy
blow to japanese sea power.

Consumer Buying
In Sharp Decline

Lush days of public bidding for
consumer goods were past Tuesday,
at least for the time being.
This seemed to be the indication
in the Security First National
Banks monthly summary of busi-
ness conditions for June /, cover
ing the previous month.
The report noted a sharp con-
traction in consumer buying in
May, and said that after allowances
for seasonal influences, dollar sales
declined nearly eight per cent from
the April level. The physical volume
of merchandise sold was Is to 20
per cent smaller than a year, the
report added.
The decline was laid to public
reaction to price ceilings and in
less degrees, to new credit restric-
