NEW WAGE POLICY OF WAR LABOR BOARD

D. E. Davis, Wage Stabilization Director for Alaska, today an- nounced:
 "The new wage policy of the War Labor Board provides that employers may through collective bargaining or by voluntary action, in the absence of a duly certified or recognized labor organization, make wage or salary increases without first obtaining approval of the War Labor Board, upon condition that such increases will not be used in whole or in part as the basis for seeking increases in price ceilings, or for resisting otherwise justifiable reductions in price ceilings, or, in the case of products or services being furn- iShed under contract with a fed eral procurement agency, will not increase the cost to the United States"
 "All cases in which a wage de- crease is involved must come be- fore the Wage Labor Board as the new wage policy does not end wage control but merely gives ad- vance approval to wage increases that do not involve price in creaSes."
 The following is a summary of General Order No. 40, which em- bodies the new wage control pol icy:

Agreed upon wage increases may be placed into effect without prior approval of the War Labor Board if such increases will not be made the basis for seeking an increase in price ceilings or resist ing otherwise justifiable reduc- tions in price ceilings, or, in the case of federal contracts, will not

swing into action next week when
the Bears meet the Superior Pan
theirs on Wednesday in their ini-
tial baseball game. With most of

first and takes a turn on the
mound when needed. The other
in-field spots are being held down
by Jack Havens at second, Mack
McEuen at third and Kenny Trout

Charlie Magness will probably fill
two of the outfield spots with the
other one yet undecided.
Other candidates are AL Singh.
Milton and Wayne Burroughs, Cur
tbs Shaw, Jimmie Vidano, Yazbik
Daw, Charlie Patterson and Cydney
Morrison.
Spring football iS also under way

Yates Is Home After Three Years
In japanese Prison Camp, Philippines

The arrival in Coolidge Monday
of Cpl. Lawdell Yates, climaxed
his liberation from three years in
a Philippine Jap prison camp
Excited, happy, not yet quite able
to realize his good fortune, Yates
was met by his family en- masse
when he reached Phoenix from
San Francisco Sunday. His par
ents, Mr.. and Mrs. J. A. Yates,
sisters, brothers, nieces and nep-
hews all were there His recep-
ton in the Golden Gates city, when
he reached the states with other
heroes of Bataan was something
for a man to remember, but it was
nothing compared to that of the
little family group that awaited him
in Phoenix.
Yates, who has made his home
in Coolidge since 1886, enlisted in
the infantry in May of 1888. In
1910 he was sent to a radio school
in the Philippines, and was there
when war broke out. Many times
he thought he would never see his
family, or Coolidge, again. He
is here now on a 10 day delay en-
route to Torney General Hospital,
Palm Springs, California. When
released from there he will be Civ
on n e0 dow fI1rloI1Ob
At special ceremonies in the Ci-
ty Hall in San Fancisco, Yates re-
ceived the Oak Leaf Cluster to his
Presidential Unit Citation; the
Philippine Defense Bar with three
stars denoting the three years he
was a prisoner; a special emblem
from the Mayor of San Francisco
bearing the words "San Francisco
Welcomes Bataan Heroes, which
the former prisoners are allowed
to wear on their uniforms. Be
sides these, he wears the Philip
pine Liberation Bar with one star;
the Asiastic Defense Bar with one
star; the Good Conduct bar, and
the Combat Infantry Badge.
This week a news release was
received from the Sixth Army,
Luzon, telling of happenings i'm
mediately after Yates and his fell
low prisoners were released
The name of Lieutenant Colonel
Henry A. Mucci and his Sixth Ar
my Rangers will probably mean
little to most people in years to
come according to the release, but
to 81 men of five different national
tiles, the colonel and his men will
always be remembered as the most
splendid" men in the world. For
