Need Approval to Increase
Wages, Salaries; Limit OF
$4,000 Per Year Ordered

along with increases above
present levels.
Salaries above $1,000 q year
were prevented from rising. but
reductions TO the 5000 a year
level were expressly permitted.
The sterilization date for those
salaries was Oct. when Presi-
dent Roosevelt set up the office Of
economic sterilization BY execu-
tive order.
Employees working In plants
with less than eight workers
were exempted from the order
but unreasonable Increases
still will be disallowed.
The big six-fgure incomes Of
super-eorporations and movie
studios disappeared automatically
under the orders. At the same
time. the small wage and salary
earners learned that before they
can get a raise. they must have
government approval. with the ex-
eeption Of certain exempt cate
gories outlined by Byrnes.

testimony OF former Prosecutor
Harry II. Johnston and his chief
criminal deputy. Stuart Elliott.
Particularly did Prosecutor Thct

on two points: Cd the testimony
OF the witness Peabody who

former prosecutors. Johnston ana
Elliott. that they remembered no

by witnesses along the flight of
the bandit car.
JACOBS VISITS SISTER
Defense Counsel Maurice Kadish
rested his case In chief at 1i:30

and had presented Jacobs sister.
Mrs. Margaret Johnson. and her
husband, Lester johnson. both of
Longview. TO bolster Jacobs alibi
that he was in Longview at their
home on July IS. the day Of the
bank robbery and murder of Chad
wick.
Mrs. johnson said Roy and
girl named Peggy came To her
home that afternoon about 5
o'clock that she knew that was
July Is because II was her hus-
bands pay day. II was the first
time she had seen Roy in many
years. she said.
She said he and Peggy (schelD

Roy got credit to buy his own

how many days Jacobs ate at her

BOYS ON Way TO Minneapolis
TODAY FOR STATE swim MEET
Pin Hopes on Melvin women
to Garner State Breast
Stroke Crown.

Six members of the Memorial high
boy swimming team left here. today
for Minneapolis to compete in the
state swimming meet.
Plotted by Coach Leonard Klun, who
himself appeared at five state meets
while school student here, the squad
will vie with swimmers from the
ranges, the Twin Cities, and several
southern Minnesota schools for state
honorS.
The preliminaries are set for Friday
evening at o'clock, while the diving
preIminarieS will be conducted Sat-
urday at 10 a. m. The finals are
scheduled for Saturday at p. m.
Most likely to win state laurels for
Ely is Melvin Women, star breast
stroke swimmer not only for Ely but
for the entire range. Women has yet
to meet his equal since he began
breaking breast stroke records as a
sophomore swimmer. Now a junior, he
will give any aspirants for the state
breast stroke title real race.
Women scored 60 points during the
season to lead others on the squad.
Ely's lineup for the individual
events puts Ivonen in the 100-yard
breast, Don Annala in the 100-yard
back, Evert Tornfelt in the diving,
and William LeBeau, August Seliskar,
Erwin Maijala, and Tornfelt in the
50-yard free style.
Women, SeliSkar, LeBeau, and Mai
jala viii comprise the 200-yard free
style relay team, and Annala, Women,
and Maijala will swim the 150-yard
medley relay.
At last years state meet in Vir-
GINA Women won third in the breast
stroke finals, and the medley relay
team on which Women and LeBeau
competed won fifth. Sixth in the div
ing went to Captain Albin Markun.
Virginia won the state crown with
Al points, with Hibbing a close second
with Al. Other teams finished in the
following order: Austin, Winona, Mar
shall of Minneapolis, Rochester, Wash
burn of Minneapolis, Ely Is points,,
West of Minneapolis, and Chisholm
Until Hibbing's back stroke star, Dan
Cohoe, broke a collar bone some time
ago, the Iron Ore Capital seemed
destined to unseat Virginia. But now,
barring possible upsets, the Queen
City has good chance to retain the
crown it has held for several years.

MEMORIAL. HIGH WILL Wind up
CAMPAIGN AT GILBERT FRIDAY
District Will Watch to See
If Ely is on Skids or
Gilbert on Wings.

Memorial high will play its final
game Of the regular schedule at Gilbert
Friday night, but the nature of it has
been changed completely since last
weekend.
Then Ely bowed to an impressive
Tower five, and Gilbert, the districts
cellar team, took the measure of BIZ
wabik, the undefeated leaders. Now
Ely must face what appears to be a
formidable foe which has at last
found itself, rather than weak club
that offered only warm-up contest
Coached by the cagy H. D. Mont
gomery, Gilbert has been stumbling
along during the entire season and
defeating only its cellar brother, Eve
leth, before playing giant killer in the
Biwabik game.
The Ety. Gilbert game Is important
for two reasons: I'd Has the defeat at
Tower put the skids under Ely, and
CD was Gilbert's victory over Biwabik
only flash in the pan?
With the tournament close at hand,
the entire district will watch Fridays
game with keen interest. Ely took the
measure of Gilbert, 1921, here, but
on the Gilbert floor there will be added
difficulties to overcome.
