RETAINERS,
FEES EXEMPTED

Retainer fees and the earning
of professional men such as doctors
lawyers, architects and so on art
not considered salary and are no
subject to limitation as long as tht
payment is on a fee basis. If th'
doctor or lawyer is paid a flat sal
ary. however. it cannot be increaS-
ed by the employer without frs
obtaining government approval
PAYMENT of dividends, interest
on money in the bank and profits
from business transaction or
operation are not considered salary
and are therefore unlimited ex-
cept as to the limitations of tax
alton.
Commissions paid TO travelling
statesmen are considered salary.
Premiums paid by an employer
toward a group insurance plan
covering all employees are not
considered salary.
Contributions of an employer
to an employees trust fund or
profit sharing plan are exempt
if not subject to income tax pay
ment.
Salaries are exempt from reg
ulation if the employer has eight
or less employees.
Tie purpose of the Salary Sta
bilization Units regulation IS to
stabilize all salary payments at the
levels prevailing September IS, 1912
Even if an employer has a bona
fide contract with an employee
made prior to October 3, 1912, for
salaries over $4,000 a year or prior
to october 81, 1912, for salaries TN
der $4,000 a year, calling for specl-
fled increases in salary rates at
specified times, those contract pro-
visions must be approved by the
Commissioner of Internal Revenue
before they can be carried out.
EVEN so, A BOOST
is POSSIBLE
In spite of all these restrictions
il is possible for an employees TO
get an increase in salary to correct
q gross inequality or to aid the wal
effort. though the burden Of justl-
fying an increase in salary rate Is
placed in every instance upon the
employer. At the regional Offices
of the Salary Stabilization Unit
forms are available for making an
application to increase salaries, ano
these forms must be filled in and
approved before increases are
granted. The Commissioner may
however. authorize that the IN
creases be granted &C from the date
on which application was first
made.
But for certain cases, individ-
uaI increases or decreases in sal
ary rates may be made by an
employer without approval of the
Salary Sterilization Unit follow
ing the pattern set up by the war
Laboar Board for wage adjust
ments not requiring government
approval.
The six types Of salary increase
that may be made without approval
are:
/. individual reclassifications OF
promotions which move an en-
ployee to position Of more respon-
sibility calling for a higher salary
rate
2 Individual merit increases
within esta ablished salary rate
ranges. determined by payroll rec
ords or fixed company policy.
3. Operation of an established
plan for salary increases based on
length of service, such as regular
annual increases.
4. Raises for increased produc-
tivity under incentive plans.
5. Operation Of a trainee sys-
TEN.
While all such increases may be
made by employers without gov
ernment approval, employers may
put their salary increase policy in
writing, and have that policy ap-
proved by the Commissioner Of In
ternal Revenue before putting such
raises in effect.

LONDON, Jan. II. (UP)-F1eId
Marshall Erwin Rommel is forming
two defense lines east of Tripoli to
meet an imminently expected at
tack in force b. the British Eighth
Army, dispatches reported today.
United States 18th air force B-26
Marauder medium bombers based
on Tunisia opened an offensive
from the west against Tripoli in a
daylight raid yesterday which
strengthened belief that big scale
action was approaching.

ADVANCE LINE

ADVANCE LINE
Madrid dispatches reported that
Rommel was forming an advance
line based on the Wadi Sofeggin,
100 miles east of Tripoli, and q sec
ond line extending inland from
HONS, midway between this point
and Tripoli.
Advices from Eighth Army head
quarters in Libya said Rommel was
extending his lines far inland in an
obvious attempt to forestall any big
British thanking movement and at
the same time guard himself
against thrust on his rear by the
Fighting French column advancing
nOrthward through the Tripolitan-
ian desert toward Tripoli.
These advices, from Henry T.
Gorrell, United Press war CORE
spondent said the German trans
port which had been moving west
ward toward Tripoli from the pres
ent axis line around the Wadi Zem-
zem, had turned first southWeStWard
and then southwark.
NO WITHDRAWAL
This transport included tanks and
armored cars and its altered route
was taken to mean that Rommel
was not, as had appeared possible,
stirling a general withdrawal on
Tripoli.
The raid on Tripoli by the United
States Marauder bomberS, escorted
by P-38 Lightnings, was the first
on that area By the American air
force in Tunisia. In clear daylight
the American planes struck at the
airdrome 10 miles south of the city
proper, scoring hits on hangers,
buildings and the military barracks.
Three MeSserschmitt fig h ter
planes which tried to intercept were
badly damaged and the American
planes returned to base intact
CONVOYS ATTACKED
Previously Allied planes based in
Tunisia had attacked road conveys
in the Tunisia- -Libya border area
but the new offensive was taken to
mean that from now on the entire
zone between the frontier and Rom
melS front line would be under con-
slant attack from west as we'll as
east.
Madrid reported that Rommel by
forming lines of defense on the Wadi
SOfeggin and HONS would seek to

Government Blamed
For Coast Rail Strike
By House Members
BY the Associated Press

BY the Associated Press.
Los Angeles members of the
House today placed partial respon-
sibility for the strike of Pacific Elec-
trio Railway employees on the Gov
ernment, which they said had de-
layed settlement of the issue too
long and had failed to take account
of living cost increases in West
Coast war centers.
Representatives Ford, Voorhis and
Holif1eh, Democrats. declared they
believed some choice might have
to be made by the Office of Ecs-
nomic Sterilization between stick
ing rigidly to the "hold-the- line"
order and allowing increases to meet
higher living costs.
Conditions there are SUCH" said
Mr.. Ford, that / think the men are
entitled to more money. Their liv-
ing costs have increased tremen-
dously. / think the time has
come when the Government will
have to make a choice between
holding the line and continuing pro-
duction.
Company Agreed to Raise.
Since the company has agreed to
give the raise, it would look as
though company officials were in
better situation to judge local living
conditions than officials here"
Criticizing what he termed "too
much stalling" by the Government
in solving such wage disputes, Mr..
Holifield said he had already put in
calls to Government Offices here to
get more data on the dispute.
Mr.. Holifield said he felt the small
raise agreed to by Economic Stabili-
zation Director Fred L. Vinson was
ridiculous" In the face OF the great
rise in cost OF living in the Los
Angeles area.
Either there should be roll
back in the cost of foods and other

specific $ituations."
Declaring that he did not believe
the strike method should be used
during the war, even to correct in
justices, Mr.. voorhis said, "On the
whole ] have believed that the work
ers had good case. It was signifi-
cant that the company was ready
to give them the increase they
asked"

Senator Downey. Democrat. of
California. in statement, said 1t
was his opinion THAT the strikers
should Immediately return to work
and await further action by the
agencies of the Federal Government,
which is now apparently imminent.
I urgently recommend the end Of
the strike and their return to work. .
Senator Downey said he was in
