Trouble is the $25,000 ceiling on incomes. Hollywood stars figure this is an opportunity to jump their contracts, and everybody is now out stealing each other's stars or trying to. The ins and outs of the new income ceiling are difficult. But in brief, here is how it affects Hollywood. The total salary which can be paid under the new ruling is $67,000, which, when tax deductions are made, gives a net income of Certain other deductions $25,000. also are allowable, but the treasury regulation specifically states that additional money to care for these deductions cannot be paid out by the companies. If they do pay them, the government may require them to make good the outlays. This' is what gripes the movie stars. Some of them have been getting salaries running up into the $200,000s, so to come down to $67,000 is quite a plop. Furthermore, movie contracts are for one picture, with an option taken on the next and then the next. So with the companies unable to pay high salaries, the options on their stars are automatically broken, a a a HEROES WITHOUT HEADLINES You don't hear much about them YAOU'LL like these cuddle toys A because they're easy to sew and made of scraps, too.

So McNary wrote to Secretary of War Stimson pointing out that there were two army cantonments in Oregon, that it might be an excellent thing for the nation's food supply and for national generally if some of the soldiers were given furloughs and allowed to help Oregon farmers with their crops.
