WLB Rules Against Tax
Exemption For Salarie.
Paid Over Wage Ceiling

ATLANTA, March /. - R =
The Fourth Regional War Labor
Board announced today that to-
tai of $31, 1883 paid in violation
of the Wage Sterilization Act by
II firms in the Southeast cannot
be claimed as an operating ex-
pense in computing income tax.
The findings by WLB represent
only a small percentage of the to-
tai Of $408, 474.37 which it was es-
timated the companies had paid in
violation Of the wartime anti-in-
flation act, Chairman M. T. Van
Hecke said. The reduction in total
liability was authorized by WLB
only after the firms had voluntari-
ly disclosed their violations, made
a showing OF mitigating circum-
stances, and proved they are now
in compliance with the law. The
wage sterilization act provided
that the total payroll cost paid in
an illegal wage must be disregard
ed as an operating expense unless
WLB authorizes a reduction in the
penalty.
