To Be hiked 10 2.2c a Mile
B> tke Associated Press.

B> TIE Associated Press.
Railroads operating in the South
received permission from the Inter-
state Commerce Commission today
to increase their basic passenger
coach fare from les cents to %
cents a mile. The increase will put
the Southern fare on the same basis
as the rest Of the country.
The Southern railroads must file
new tariffs before the increase be-
comes effective. This. officials said,
will require several weeks.
The Southern railroads long have
maintained lower coach fares than
roads elsewhere. Before the 10 per
cent increase some time ago they
had rate of is cents a mile. against
2 cents for the other carriers.
The Southern roads, reporting that
their passenger operations have been
at a heavy loss, petitioned the 1CC

Finds No Necessity
TO Keep Members on
Pay Roll Year Round
BY DON GARDNER

LANSING. Feb. 5.-After
survey showed they had nothing
10 do nine months out Of the year.
the entire staff of the state racing
commission, excluding a clerk, will
be fired February Is. Civil Service
Director Thomas J. Wilson re-
Vealcd today.
I'VE have found there Is no
real necessity for keeping race
meet executives on the pay roll
all year long when they have no
work To do" Wilson said.
Conducting an annual race
meet is a three months job and
should be done with employees
hired only for that period. We
are allowing the commissioner
10 have one clerk the year
around"
Under the ruling. John d. Karle,
81 500 per year clerk, will stay,
but the following must go:
Albert a. Wagner, secretary, at
$4,000 per year.
Richard +. Sauter, race meet
executive, at $3.50
William J. Bowling, race meet
executive. at $1,000.
Roger L. Hanrahan, registrar,
at So $50.
DECISION NO SURPRISE
Racing Commissioner Edward
J. Fry, said Wilson's decision was
no surprise.
THE pay roll has been over
loaded all along" he said. I'VE
couldn't pay S21 800 in salaries
with only $4,000 allotted for
the purpose.
II tried To lay Oft Sauter and
Bowling some time ago. but
Sauter obtained a circuit court
injunction against me and the
political pressure was so great
i had To keep Bowling.
$50 I've been spending the
last two weeks trying 90 get adj
ditional funds out of the budget
director. This has not been
successful"
Fry reluctantly admitted the
political pressure 10 keep his pres
nnt employees at work came from
Governor Van Wagoner's office.
Wilson said the layoff may be
delayed until the supreme court
