WIDE is THE GATE-(Vi-
king: S3)-Upton Sinclair con-
tinues his saga of the remark
able Lanny Budd and his friends
and family in the turmoil that
was Europe from 1884 to 1885.
The son of the American NUM-
tons millionaire gets involved
in anti-Hitler plots in Germany,
as the Nazi regime sweeps into
power, and finds excitement and
adventure in the Spanish war.
In four large novels, Sinclair
has traced the course of world
affairs and kept the accounting
interesting by paralleling fact
with the fiction of the Budds--
their loves, troubles, successes
and failures.
Sinclairs PHILOSOPHERS and
theories are included in this
sugar-coated capsule, and the
whole is surprisingly pleasant to
take. Certainly his work, when
finished, will rank with Ro-
mains as outstanding achieve
ments in the novelist's field.

EVEN so, A BOOST
is POSSIBLE

In spite OF all these reStrlc-
tons, it is possible for an en-
ploye TO get an increase in salary
to correct gross inequality or
to aid the war effort, though the
burden of justifying an increase
in salary rate is placed in every
instance upon the employer. At
the regional offices of the Salary
Sterilization Unit, forms are
available for making an applica-
ton to increase salaries, and
these forms must be filled in and
approved before increases are
granted. The commissioner may,
however, authorize that the in
creases be granted as from the
date on which application was
first made.
But for certain cases, individ-
ual increases or DECREASES in sal.
airy rates may be made by an
employer without approval Of
tn Salary Sterilization Unit fol-
lowing the pattern set up by the
War Labor Board for wage adj
ju5tments not requiring govern
ment approval.
The six types Of salary in
crease that may be made with
oL- approval are:
!. Individual reclassifications
or promotions which move an
employee to a position of more
responsibility calling for a high
er salary rate.
2. Individual merit increases
within established salary rate
ranges, determined by payroll
records or fixed company policy.
3. Operation of an established
plan for salary increases based
on length of service, such as reg
ular annual increases.
for increased pro-
ductivity under incentive plans.
5. Operation of trainee sys-
tenn.
While all such increases may
be made by employers without
government approval, employers
may put their salary increase
policy in writing, and have that
policy approved by the Commits
sioner of Internal Revenue be-
fore putting such raises into eff
feet.

his operatives were trying to deter

for his trip to Santa Barbara yester-
day to marry Miss Oona ONeill
daughter of Playwright Eugene

Mr. Leask also said he was inter-
ested in unverified reports that at
one time Chaplin's car sped 80 miles
an hour as the actor eluded news
men. He is trying to check the
ownership of the car. but admitted
he is handicapped because no one
seems to know where Chaplin and
his bride are honeymooning.
The whole trip may have been

Trustworthy Inmates
Of District JaiIs Face
Induction in Draft
Men Convicted of Minor
Crimes Will Be Handled
BY Special Punel

Inmates of District penal institu-
tionS who have oAen convicted Of
relatively minor crimes and have
shown promise OF becoming good
citizens face draft induction, Dis
trict Selective Service Director Will
liam E. Leahy sa d Yesterday in an
nouncing special panel to process
inmates for induction.
The panel. set up under recent
regulations issued Ly national selec-
tive service headquarters. will have
jurisdiction over ali inmates OF the
District Reforma oory and Workhouse
at Lorton. Va, the District Jail and
the National Training School for
BOYS.
Members of the panel explained
that since the men have to be ap-
proved for parole before they are
sent to the induction station. they
would not return to a penal insti-
tuition to finish their sentences after
the war.
Example Cited.
They gave as an example the case
of man with tWo-year sentence
who had served one year. His case
would go to the parole board If
it was decided that he should be
paroled, the parole board would
then have to waive supervision of
thu
ration. If the war lasted more than
year from the time he entered the
service, he would have completed his
prison term and could return to
civilian life after the war
If the war ended before the SEN
tence had expired, meritorious serv-
ice might lead the parole board to
continue waving supervision. It
was emphasized. however. that the
sentence imposed by the court could
not be reduced
The records of the men procesSed
by the special panel, it was ex-
planned, must be submitted to the
armed forces for approval before
the men may be sent to the induc-
ton station. Habitual criminals
and men convicted of serious crimes
are not acceptable.
Mr.. Leahy said he could not pre-
dict how many men might be avail
able for induction under the new
procedure but he pointed out that
the number would be small in COM
parison to the total number of in
mates because the nature of the
crimes and whether the inmate
shows promise of becoming a good
soldier or sailor has to be taken
into consideration.
Will Be Examined at Jails.
Inmates under consideration for
induction will be given their pre-
liminary physical examinati ton at
the institution In which they are
confined. Examining physicians
will be those attached to the institu-
tions, including Dr. Martin L. Cam
non. District Jail DR.. Frank Klune.
District Reformatorv. and DR.. Louis
Jacobs. National Training School
for Boys.
The panel to consider the men
for induction includes Claude Bot
kin, superintendent of the reform
atofy. chairman: w. French Flem-
ing, workhouse superintendent: Har-
old Hegstrom. national training
school superintendent, and A. j
DriScoll chairman of Local Board
No. 2. to which the special panel is

WB Seeks 10 Reach
Vote Today on Portal
Wages for Miners
UNIV PIon Would Relieve
Lewis Of Responsibility
If Strike Is Called
Rv the Associsted prsss

Ry the Associated Press.
Th2 War Labor Board tried to
reach a vote late today on the
crucial portal-to-p portal pay is
sue in the soft coal wage dispute,
while members of the United
Mine Workers murmured threats
of a new Nation wide shutdown
Monday unless their demands
are satisfied.
Some members of the UNIV Pol
icy Committee, after session of
more than three hours yesterday,
said suggestions were made to hold
district conventions on the strike
question to relieve UNIV President
John L. Lewis of responsibility II
another tie-up Of the coal mines de-
velops and the President signs the
anti-strike bill. The current extern
sion of the truce declared By the
UNIV leadership expires Sunday
midnight
Policy Committee members said
Mr.. Lewis has fixed $l.30 day as
the absolute minimum settlement
which he would accept for travel
time. The committee was to recon-
vene AT pm. today.
The WLB. it was learned, has
been far from unanimity and con-
sidered awards ranging up to so
cents day. A refusal to award any,
thing for underground travel would
constitute a decision to let the case
go to court if the miners felt they
had a case under the Fair Labor
Standards Act.
An award of 80 cents day would
be based on travel time of 48 min,
utes at straight time working rates.
which baSically are 81 an hour. The
only Government survey of travel
time. made six years ago, shows 4s
minutes as the average. Mr.. Lewis
contends it is at least 90 minutes.
One WLB member cautioned
against any prediction, except that
80 cents day was the extreme max
imum which could be expected and
even that was unlikely. This amount,
with the concessions already grant
ed by the board, would add up to
about 81 day
Some of the WLB public members
were reported authoritatively to
have suggested for consideration a
formula based on the Fair Labor
Standards Act which would permit
payment of sl.02 week.
