Divide Question
Presidential advisers have divid-
ed the compensation question into
three parts. as follows:
Wages-Primarily manual labor.

on an hourly or daily basis. Unof-
fetal guesses are that the Presi-
dent will ask that wage rates in
this field be stabilized. by permit

cluded at all, some allowance prob
abuy will be made for pay raises
accompanying bona fide promotions.
Big comes-Salaries and other
forms of compensation in excess of
$4,000 year. Some suggestions
have been made of discouraging
such large incomes by forbidding
employers from taking income tax
deductions as part OF their operat-
ing expenses Tor more than $4,000
for any one employee. Also some
consideration for budgeting each
employer TO a total payroll as in
Canada, where compensation of in.

be adjusted up or down as long
as the employers total payroll
doesn't exceed some formula.
Three Alternatives

the cost of food
8 Use war powers to nulify the

fix ceilings at whatever level that
will keep down the cost of food
without subsidies.
