James +. Byrnes plans that will
definitely slash big salaries to a
limit OF S25 600 year.
Recommendations for the salary

placed before Byrnes by Monday.
In asking for the recommends
tions. Byrnes requested that e
strictions on Zig incomes be even
more stringent than regulations

cutive order.
Plans under study. il was learn
ed. call for cutting all private sal
aries to the $4,000 figure either

Sabotage
Not Serious

As compared to the first World
War. sabotage in the United States
in the present conflict is almost
negligible. Earl ]. Wynn, agent
of the Detroit FBI office. told
members of the Ypsilanti Fore
mems Club in a dinner meeting
Thursday night at Charles McKen-
ny Hall.
This is due largely to the fact
that in 1889, when war clouds be-
gan gathering over Europe. Presi-
dent Roosevelt decided prepare
tions should be made against sab
otage and espionage" he said
"The job was turned over to the
FBI, which at the time of the
Pearl Harbor attack. was fully
prepared to cope with the situa-
ton"
Espionage is combatted through
the use of counter-espionage. the
speaker explained. Instead OF ar.
resting a single spy, the case is
used to uncover the remainder Of
his associates so that wholesale ar
rests can be made when the FIJI Is
ready to close the case.
The speaker was introduced by
Chief of Police Dan Patch. Mem
bers engaged in a discussion at
the conclusion of his address.
In a report of the recent ma
tional convention at Chicago re-
Gently. Paul McAllister, president,
told Of the attitude of foremen
in other parts OF the country.
Those from the coastal areas were
especially war-minded, he said,
and with them it is an about ef-
fort for war.
He also made the announcement
that l.. r. Morningstar of Npsi-
lanti had been reelected director
for a two year term in the Ma
tional Association OF Foremen.
Balcolm Bingay, editorial director
of the Detroit Free Press, will
speak at the Nov IL meeting at

ton Of the $4,000, 900 900 tax bill
by opposing the Vandenbers
amendment which freezes social
security payroll taxes. Mr.. Roose.
Welt declared that now sis the time
to strengthen, not to weaken, the
social security system"
Washington, Oct Sins The
Senate today is expected to adopt
the radical new victory" gross
income aX-accompanied by a 5
Der cent payroll deduction begin
ming Jan. despite admitted un.
popularity of the new levy and
stiff opposition TO its inclusion in
the $4,000, 100000 bill.
The levy, proposed by the Fl
nance Committee as an alternative
to higher individual income taxes
and sales tax. is estimated to
produce more than 100000, 900
a year.
Adoption of the tax would write
the principle Of a gross income
levy into the revenue laws for the
first time. The payroll deduction
would shatter precedents in gen
eral tax laws. although social Sc
curity taxes now are deducted.
