The salary alterations were propos ed to : the' board by Leonard Lobred, PU board president, but, no decisive steps were taken. Lobred's suggested changes follow: The salary of editor of the Daily Tar Heel would be reduced from $9 weekly to $7.50, from $270 to to $225 annually. The managing editor would receive $15 instead of the present $15.90 or a reduction in his annual salary of $25, from $475 to $450. Last fall the managing editor's salary was reduced from $18..
