Coast Guard Seeks
Drifting Oil Barge
10 Men Still Aboard
Somewhere in Erie

CLEVELAND, Dec. 3 - (P)
- Coast guard vessels attempted
to restore contact today with the
250-foot oil barge Cleveco. which
had drifted through a wintry
night after cutting loose from
the tug Admiral, whose sinking
cost IA lives.
The ice-sheathed barge. with
l9 men aboard. lost radio COM
munication with the nearby
Coast Guard cutter OsSipee
shortly before dusk yesterday.
when water put her generators
out of commission and crippled
at least part of her heating sys-
tenn.
The Ossipee reported early to
day she had lost contact, said
district coast guard headquart-
ers, and at daybreak two civil
air patrol planes were Dispatch
ed to scout the area, about ten
miles off Cleveland.

stances as may be prescribed in
rulings or regulations promul-
gated by the commissioner from
time to time"
And, even in those cases, the
possibility of varying definitions
of the terms involved made OBJ
servers question whether many
employers would risk un-ap-
proved raises until specific rul-
ings clarified each case.
Concerning the $25,OOO-net
limitation, the bureau indicated
1t would remain "open-minded"
on such matters as charitable
contributions, insurance prem
iums and fixed obligations, CIV
ing each an Individual treat
ment.
POINTS MADE
Otherwise, by definition and
example these points were
made:
Salary" covers any compen-
sation for personal services of an
employe-bonuses, gifts, loans,
commissions, fees, etc. and
1.-The commissioner is not pre-
cluded from determining, after
investigation, that amounts de-
nominated, for example, as rents
or royalties, are in fact salary
payments subject to the controls
set fourth in these regulations"
Customary Christmas bonuses
may be paid provided they do
not exceed last years.
Employer and employee are
equally responsible for enforce
ment, but the burden of proof is
on the employer, and multiple
employers of one person-ex-
cept for physicians, lawyers,
architects, contractors "a n d
others who follow an independ-
ent trade, business or profession
in which they offer their serv-
ices to the public"-will be re-
quired to see to it that their
combined payments do not ex-
coed the limit.
Although a states community
property law may give" half
mans salary to his wife, he still
must be charged with the full
amount.
Employees serving exclusively
in foreign countries are exempt.
And (oh, yes) an employer"
among other things, is a person
who has "the right to discharge"
in case you didn't know.

VAN DYKE Officials In

The township is urgently in

OF the work is confined to dig

with muscles. 1.-THE bigger the

SailOl. Back -
from Africa

Mr.. and Mrs. John N. Crook,
of 4211 Grandview avenue,
Mount Clemens, felt the same
thrill that ran throughout the
nation when the news was
flashed that the u. S. was on the
offensive in North Africa.
But they have a boy in the
Coast Guard, and the thrill over
the offensive was tempered
with a feeling of wonder and q
little fear.
This week Coast Guardsman
John S. Crook, %, safely back
in his home port after seeing
action with the giant convoy
that carried the men and ma
terial to Africa's shore, sent a
letter to his mother that con-
veyed the good news that "all
is we'll"
Mrs. Crook told a reporter to-
day that her sons letters indi-
cate that he is one of the most
thorough readers of the Daily
Monitor-Leader on the newspa-
per's subscription list.
He writes me that he reads
everything in the paper" she
said, up to and including every
classified ad."
John enlisted in the Coast
Guard one ana one-half years
ago. He was graduated from
Northwestern High school in De-
troit.

vague details of program
planned to prevent most raises
and hold all salaries to $25, 900

of waiting.
But the question of whether a
lot of citizens named Joe will
get raises was still unanswered
remaining up to the bureaus

If it's any consolation, cutting
Joe's salary appeared to be just
as big a question and due for

MUST REGULATE PAY
Under terms of the anti-infla-
ton program outlined by Presi-
dent Roosevelt and Economic
Diector James F. Byrnes, the
bureau must regulate all salaries
over $4,000 net year, plus
those under that figure when
paid to non-farm unorganized
administrative, executive and
professional workers.
Last night, the bureau an
nounced the details, outlining
definitions and broad terms of
the program in a 21-page, sin
gle-spaced typewriter report.
But as Joe searched it vainly
for the solution to his specific
problem, treasury spokesman
admitted:
QUESTION UNANSWERED
There are thousands of ques-
tons which remain unan-
swered."
While the new regulations in
dicated that there are many
ways by which salary increases
may be given, the bureau
stressed that most of them must
be approved by the internal
revenue commissioner-through
one of the regional sterilization
officeS-or both employer and

NEW YORK, Dec. 3 -(R)-
The Great Lakes Naval Train

polled by the Associated Press.
The Sailors, whose eleven of
World War ! days also was out
standing, don't complete their
schedule until Saturday against
Notre Dame in Chicago but so
of the voters decided that no

Sailors are the best.
Although the Army produced
two teams late in August that
were good enough to hold their
own with various clubs from the
National League the Navy snar-
ed the first six places among the
top ten and also had the Pensa-
cola Filters in the eighth spot.
The Camp Grant squad,
beaten by Great Lakes, 35 to 0,
was the best soldier outfit, in
the opinion of the voters, and
took over seventh place with Isl
points, compared to the 812 COL
lected by Great Lakes.
Coached by Tony Hinkle, for
merly at Butler University, and
spanked by Minnesota's 1941 All
