She got up from her chaise
lounge and took her fur wrap
from the closet. The cigarette
was still burning in the ashtray
"That's the way I've been burn

eyes stayed on the rising smoke
waiting for the right man. But
l never dreamed it would be any

With the belief that honesty

left her apartment.
The Tommy Morgan band,
blanketed in heavy blue tighten
Ding, was playing sophisticated
swing as the headwaiter escorted
Deborah to her reserved ringside
table. She surveyed Tommy's
hand-chosen musicians with an
inner feeling OF pride. But when
Tommy finished his solo, her
controlled emotions would not
let her join the others in applause.
She knew she could show her
appreciation of his talent In an
other way-a better way than the

additional compensation as a re- cruitment incentive, or both such factors" Provision was made that the additional compensation would be paid in accordance with regula- tions prescribed by the President. The section also stated that any differential in effect at the time the law was approved, June 30. would continue to be paid for 60 days or until the President issued regulations. whichever date was earlier. The Presidents executive order was delayed in issuance but it contains a provision making the regulations retroactive to cover the period since the lapse of the sec tion described above.
 The Presidents executive order instructs the Civil Service Commits sion to determine between now and January l what areas outside the continental United States and in Alaska have living costs higher than the District of Columbia and where "the conditions of environ ment differ substantially from con- ditionS of environment in the States and warrant additional com- pensation as a recruitment incen- tive, or both factors" After that determination has been made, the Civil Service Commission is to fix rates of additional compensation for each area and issue regulations accordingly.
 It will be recalled that the pay ment of a g per cent salary diff ferential to Federal employees in Alaska and other places outside
The Seward polaris & Kenai Peninsula-Aleutian chain news., 1948-09-22

the continental United States has been subject of considerable con- cern for a number of years.
 Prior to 1943 various government agencies having employees outside the continental United States had different policies regarding salary differentials. Some agencies paid no attention whatsoever, others paid varying percentage increases over basic rates and still others paid a full g per cent differential in addition to base pay. In 1943, due to complaints and dissatisfac- ton with this system, the Civil Service Commission, afer consulta- tion with the various agencies, is- sued a departmental circular set ting forth policy agreement ad- dressed to heads of departments and independent establishments on the subject of salary differen- tials. AS result of that circular, different government agencies en- tered into voluntary agreements to pay the differential, and since that time general differential has been paid to federal employees coming under the Classification Act of 1923 as amended, bolstered by opinions of the Comptroller General of the United States.
 On August 24, l945, President Truman requested the Civil Serv- ice Commission and the Bureau of the Budget to conduct a joint study and prepare report with recommendations on the differen- tial problem. It is understood. how ever, that although a comprehen- sive report was drawn up and recommendations made they were tentative and preliminary in na- ture and were not placed in force prior to the congressional action outlined above. However, the ad- ministrative practice of paying the differential was continued and will be. under the presidential order. until January of next year, at which time procedure will be set up by the Civil Service Commis- sion.

COAST GUARD HEADQUARTERS FOR ALASKA -- ,-...

. VII 1SAS6A0
 The Coast Guard Distract for , Alaska will be re-established on or about July l, 1949, acording to a recent announcement made by Sec retary of the Treasury Snyder. However, Secretary Snyder stated, determination of the locality of the headquarters has not yet been made
 Upon making further inquiry into the matter, Delegate Bartlett's of flee was informed that the antici- pated visit to Alaska the latter part of September by Admiral Joseph F. Farley, the commandant of the Coast Guard, has been can celled. It had previously been an nounced that Admiral Farley would make an inspection trip in Alaska. As far as is known now there are no plans for any other Coast Guard official from Wash ington to go to Alaska on this mat ter in the near future or even this fall. Secretary Snyder visited Alas ka this summer, it will be recalled, as did Coast Guard officials.
 Rear Admiral Merlin O'Neill, as- sistant commandant of the Coast Guard, further informed Delegate Bartlett's office that the date of July 1, l949, did not necessarily mean that the headquarters would not be established before that date

 News Letter
SALARY DETRIMENTAL

President Truman has signed an executive order continuing until January l, l949. the present admin istrative practice of paying 25 per cent salary differential to Federal employees outside continental United States and in Alaska.
 The necessity for the regulations to be issued by the President in an executive order was embraced in a bill passed by Congress and ap- proved June 30 of this year. One section of that bill, the Supple mental Offices Appropriation Act for l949, stated in part that "any appropriations or funds available to executive departments. inde- pendent establishments and wholly owned government corporations for payment of salaries and com pensatiOn to persons stationed out side the continental United States or in Alaska whose rates of basic compensation are fixed by statute will be available for the payment of additional compensation to such persons based on living costs sub stantially higher than in the Dis trict of Columbia or conditions of environment which differ substan- tially from conditions of environ ment in the States and warrant

but rather that date was given as goal and it was hoped that the reestablishment could take place long before then. Time is still needed, Admiral O'Neill stated, to continue studying the investiga- tions already made as to the pos abilities of locating the headquar- ters at Juneau or the possibilities of relocating the headquarters at Ketchikan. There are advantages and disadvantages to both places, Admiral O'Nein declared, and the matter must be resolved before a determination is made.
 In July of 1947 the Alaska Coast Guard District was abolished and consolidated with the Seattle head quarters, a move vigorously at- tackled by Delegate Bartlett and other Alaskans, who were joined in their fight by Congressman Jackson of Washington. As an out come of these protests the Coast Guard officials agreed to a survey which was made this past sum- mer which has resulted in the an- nouncement made by Secretary Snyder.

By T. E. Apologize

NEW YORK, April 7.-Recent
gains by many stock leaders were
trimmed by profit-cashing sales in
today's market.
A few favorite rails and oils nego-
tiated further advances, but offer
lings elsewhere depressed a wide list
Iof issues. Dealings proceeded at a
better than million Share pace de-
spite occasional slowdowns. Near
the fourth hour fractional declines
were well scattered.
Picketing of the exchanges by
striking employees continued but had
little effect on the handling OF
transactions.
Aside from technical factors, con-
Germ over the extent Of the coal
deadlock provided a restraining in
fiuence, with potential disruptions in
affected industries mounting daily.
Anticipated expenditures for rear
mament and European recovery con.
tinued to provide a basis for some
bidding.
