County Salary
Rates Pegged
Present Levels
Remain in Force

The Macomb County Board
of Supervisors, in regular ses-
sion today, voted unanimously
{ peg county departmental sal
aries and wage rates at their
pi resent figures.
The board accepted a recon-
mendation of the Budget Com
mittee that no changes be made
i the wage set-up. Report of the
committee, I'm der Chairman
Frank Biehl, of Erin Township,
stated that a survey showed an
overall county employe wage
increase of AZ per cent from
Jan. /, 1941 to the present time.
1t noted that some of this in
crease represented automatic
salary raises 70 those with in
creased years of service.
However, three blanket $40
per month raises were given
within the three-month-period
covered by the survey, the re-
port stated, which brought about
an actual increase from raises
alone of between 18 per cent
and 81 per cent in official and
employe salaries.
Little comment was made by
supervisors in accepting the
Budget Committees report. The
committees only positive ac-
ton was to authorize the sheriff
to hire special deputies at a rate
of IS cents per hour.

President Approves
Bill Designed to
Aid Family Heods

WASHINGTON, Dec. 10-(P)
President Roosevelt has ap-
proved the father draft bill, de-
signed to delay induction of pre-
war fathers into the armed serv-
ices.
The action was announced by
the White House today. The
place at which the Chief Execu-
tive acted was not disclosed.
The President had been urged
by War Manpower Commission
er Paul V. McNutt to veto the
legislation. The Presidents ap-
proval raised question as to
whether McNutt would resign
his position.
The legislation removes from
McNutt authority over admins
tration of the selective service
system.
The authority. vested in Major
General Lewis B. Hershey, the
selective service director, came
under McNutt's directives previ-
ously.
How extensively the act will
delay the induction of pre-
Pearl Harbor fathers remains to
be seen, officials said.
SEE HEAVY CALL
Hershey is reported 10 have
told a closed meeting of the Ma
tional Association of Manufac.
turers in New York City yester-
day that about 10000 pre-
Fcarl Harbof.sthefs would have
to be indicted by June 80,
1914, in order to meet present
schedules.
The expressed intent of the
present legislation is to prevent
the induction of any of this
group of fathers until all avail
able physically fit single men
and non-fathers have been put
into uniform.
The law provides, however.

Censorship
Curbs Relaxed
Liberalization
Now in Prospect

WASHINGTON. Dec. 10-tP)
Announcing a liberalization of
voluntary censorship restrictions
on the press and radio, Director
Byron Price today placed in his
own office Of censorship greater
responsibility for clearing mate
rial for publication and broad
cast.
This fundamental change In
censorship policy, Price said,
Means, in effect, that the office
Of censorship will itself under
take to act as an appropriate au-
thority under the codes" by
passing on material in restricted
categories whether or not it has
been announced officially by
other government agencies. The
office of censorship will not,
however, originate news.
Issuing to a press conference
revised censorship codes for the
press and radio, Price said nu-
nerous restrictive requests of
the government had been elimi-
mated in the interest of encour-
aging q more liberal presenta-
lion OF war news, especially re-
gardlng war production, mer-
chant marine operations and
diplomatic negotiations not con.
nected directly with military op-
erations.
Price again emphasized that
only the office of censorship has
authority to request that certain
news not be published or broad
cast and invited appeals when
requests were received from
other sources.
Asked whether any considera.
ton has been given to q final
termination of censorship, Price
replied:

WASHINGTON - Administration leoders and some high-handed big wigs ia the var effort aren't sleep ing we'll these nights. Their night mare=the 18th Congress.
 For two years Congress has taken batterring. Public opinion and on occasion even Che Administration knocked down the old fellow in the big black hat and flowing tie. rol- led him in the dust and kicked him in the stomach
 But having passed his 18th bi- ennial birthday, he's up again, dusted off and squared away And those who tossed haymakers at him in the last round. have taken one look at Congress rejuyenated and are wishing they could crawl off and hide in a strictly neutral corner.
 The smelling salts that brought the old fellow around are two parts Republican gains made last November and one part the eonser- vative (anti-New DeaD Democrats formerly in Congress.
 Already Democratic leaders have dueked one threatened fight and acquiesced in Republican demands for greater representation on con gressional committees. Tn spite of the fact that the Democrats have only a majority of II for a fight on the House floor and 19 for a scrap in the Senate, the change in mum erical representation on the com mittees can't be overstressed.
 There are 1T standing commit tees in the House, 33 in the Senate They are the cogs that really grind out the legislation. For every big legislative fight on the floors of either chamber to determine the fate of one law, a score of skirm- ishes in the committee rooms pre- determine the future of 20 bills.
 Not only will the Republicans, with a little cooperation from Dem ocratic conservatives. be able to put up a winning battle on the floor (of the House, at least) They will also be able to give a good ac- count of themselves in those i'm poytant committee skirmishes.
 In the Senate the Democrats majority still is substantial and the committee majorities still will be important.
