tial salary increase for Michigan's
new state officials when they take
office January i. despite salary

receive $12,500 per year. $500
more than Governor Van Wagner
got. Kelly will get $1,000 as chief
executive, $500 as a member of
the administrative board and a
fiat $1,000 expense account.
ADJUST PAY OF ALL
The Legislature took the lieu
tenant-governor out of the So per
day class four years ago, when he
was made a member of the admin
Iistrative board. Another $1,000
was added by lawmakers last year
which will insure Lt.-Gov. elect
Eugene c. Reyes N.595.
All other officers will receive
adjustments bringing them to the
81 500 mark, on a par with High
way Commissioner G.. Donald Ken
nedy's salary. These will be Secre-
tary of State Herman II. Dignan,
Atty. Gen. Herbert j. Rushton.
Treasurer ID. Hale Brake. Auditor
General Vernon J. Brown and
Superintendent OF Public Instruc-
ton Eugene B. Elliott.
SIGNED IN JUNE ~
At the present time, the treas
urer, secretary of state and attor-
ney general receive $1,000. AS
superintendent of public instruc-
ton, Doctor Elliott got an extra
81, 900 for serving on the state
board Of education and Auditor
General Brown an extra 81 900 for
being chairman of the state land
board.
The bill raising salaries was
signed into law June Is, 1871, and
given immediate effect. However,
no present officers got the benefit
due to the constitutional restric.
ton preventing any elective Off
cial from receiving an increase
during the term for which he was
elected.
The OPA salary freeze order
will not affect the raises because
they we've scheduled" before the
freeze went into effect.

Face u. 5. Slash;
Milk Ration Seen
Cut OF IS Per Cent
in Cheese Supply
Is Probable Soon

WASHINGTON. Nov. 19 (INS).
Secretary OF Agriculture Claude
r. Wickard today is considering a
plan for sharp reduction of
civilian consumption OF milk and
milk products.
Agriculture experts said milk
rationing in at least a score of
boom towns is in prospect.
The overall milk control pro-
gram will. II adopted, call for
drastic cuts in the amounts of
milk. butter. cheese, ice cream and
evaporated milk avail Bile to
civilians.
Civilian consumption OF fluid
milk may be cut by 1917 per cent.
The civilian supply OF cheese
probably will be cut by as much
as IS per cent. butter by 20 per
cent, ice cream by 25 per cent and
canned milk by about 20 per cent.
MILITARY NEED FIRST
Agriculture spokesman said that
military needs come first and that
lend-lease requirements are q
close second.

sumner demands at ceiling prices

needs will he materially larger

hand" the bureau stated. "prob-
ably will he smaller. Restric-
tons on civilian consumption
are likely to be needed I'm the
near future to insure adequate
supplies for military and lend
lease purposes"
MILK USE UP
Home front consumption of milk
has gone up at least 20 per cent
in the last year. agriculture ex-
perts estimated This increase,
noted also in the consumption OF
butter and other dairy products,
was traced 10 the new prosperity
in war centers. Thus. IL Is cities
made rich by war contracts that
are feeling the milk shortage.
Kansas City. Mo: Washington,
d. c.; Portland, Ore: st. Louis;
Duluth, Mimi, and Superior. Wis,
the major southern cities and sew
eral California centers are low
on milk production.
The butter shortage. as well as
the fluid milk shortage. is local
problem. No butter or milk is
shipped out of the country, either
TO the Allies or TO United States
lexpeditionary forces But civilian
demands for butter are greater
than ever before in recent years.
CHEESE NEEDED
Cheese. unlike milk and butter,
is needed mainly for filling lend
lease commitments.
Since lend-lease began in March,
1871, 400,0O0,000 pounds of Amer
lean cheese have gone overseas.
Total cheese production in 1941
was 600. 100000 pounds.

SYDNEY, Australia, June 5.-One
of the small Japanese submarines
which unsuccessfully attacked sgd
ney Harbor Sunday was raised part
ly yesterday, and a naval oficer said
it was larger than the two-man
midgets which were used in the
Pearl Harbor raid December 7.
This submarine probably carried
six crewmen and was between so
and so feet long, compared to the
41-foot craft sunk and later SAL
vaged at Pearl Harbor.
Japan's first-class submarines are
divided into four groups ranging
from $50 to 356 feet, as listed in
James Fighting Ships. The two
man type discovered at Pearl Har-
Dor had 5-foot beam, a cruising
radius of approximately 200 miles
at low speed after being launched
from mother ship, and carried two
18-inch torpedoes, as compared with
the 21-inch standard used in the
United States Navy.
