Budget Committee Urges

Supervisors to Act on
Report of Own Committee

A $40 per month flat raise in
pay for all county employees will
be recommended ~ the budget
committee of the board of super
viSors to that county board, it
was announced today by Super
visor Frank Biehl, of Erin town
ship, chairman Of the group.
That decision was reached at a
session of the committee Thurs
day at which it was held that the
county employs are entitled to
a raise and the $40 figure was
finally decided upon. II will ap-
ply in just that way TO the sala-
ried employees Of the county and
it will be accomplished in the
case of hourly workers by jump
ing their hourly pay by six cents,
Biehl said.
There is just one joker in the
recommendation as far as some
county offices are concerned.
Employees Of all county offices
will figuratively punch the
clock at $50 pm. and will re-
main at their posts until 5 pm.

ing at anytime after o'clock
in the afternoon.
Reports from the committee
clearly indicated that they were
heartily in sympathy with the
idea of a hike in the wage scale
and that the raise proposed
would benefit road department
employees generally, if not in all
cases, to larger extent than the
plan originally advanced by the
members of the county road
commission. it was stated.
The road commissioners had
planned to advance pay of its
salaried employees by five per
cent and require a deduction Of
10 per cent from that to pay for
war bonds. The pay of hourly
employees was to have been
jumped by five cents and the
same 10 per cent deduction
would have been made.
The recommended raise pro-
posed by the budget committee
will exceed the hike in hourly

Cruiser and
Destroyer Hit

The German radio said to-
day that axis planes had sunk
an American cruiser Of the $500
ton Pensacola class and a de-
stroyer in an attack on "an
American squadron" in the
Arctic waters off far northern
Norway.
The report said the planes
had bombed the ships while
striking at a convoy on the al
lied supply line to Soviet Bur-
mansk between North Cape and
Spitzbergen.
The sinkings of the American
vessels were not confirmed
from any other source, and fol-
lowed hard on the heels of Rus
sian reports of continuing sue
cesses in the Russian Donets
Basin where the Nazi legiona
were said to be retreatine BE-
fore the Reds advancing on tina
gates of Kharkov, important In

his ambassador to Tokyo to In

The broadcast said that dur.
ing the past "a hours Gen.
Book had tapped his reserves

in the Ukraine.
The Germans claimed they
were inflicting severe losses ON
