STATE
RALEIGH, Feb. 20. — The
House, with a minimum of de
bate,' quickly passed the $232,
799,787 general appropriations
bill today after incorporating
into it an administration
amendment providing for the
payment monthly of emergen
cy salary increases to teachers
and state employees making
$3,600 or less. Actual and esti
mated expenditures for 1943-45
were $178,505,823. This assem
bly already has set aside $51,
585,079 for retirement of the
staid?fund indebted
ness. The appropriations bill
carried $131,086,261 for general
fund expenditures; $100,211,
257 for highway spending; and
$502,269 for the agriculture de
partment. A surplus of about
$20,000,000 is expected in the
general fund at the close of
this fiscal year, while the agri
culture department expects a
surpluk of $775,000, and the
highway department a surplus

NATIONAL,
WASHINGTON, Feb. 20. —
The senate military affairs
committee today rejected a new
demand by President Roosevelt
for prompt passage of a stiff
work-or-fight bilL It voted 12
to 6 to sidetrack the measure
\ which Mr. Roosevelt wants —
the house-approved bill provid
es stiff penalties and prison
terms for men 18-45 who re
fuse war work — and took up
a substitute proposing less
drastic man-power controls. It
would tighten present controls
by giving them legal sanction.
The committee could reverse its
' decision and return to the
house bill but such a courfce
seemed unlikely because of the
overwhelming vote against It.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 20. —
President Roosevelt, during a
dramatic near - east odyssey,
was given by Prime Minister
Churchill, a new promise to
“throw everything” at the Jap
anese after Germany’s defeat.
He also got a snub from Gen.
Charles de Gaulle. The story of
the President’s meetings with
premiers, kings, and princes af
ter the Crimea conference
came out in part today. The
White House made public 6ome
details of his trips through
>!- Egypt and Algeria, and how
Mr. Roosevelt is adding by
plane, motor, and ship some
14.000 miles to his stupendous
travel.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 20. —
The war labor board tonight
ordered fringe wage increases
for 140,000 packing house and
54.000 textile workers but up
held any actual money settle
ment until it irons out its dif
ferences with Stabilization Hi- i
rector Fred M. Vinson. It es
tablished a 55-cents-an-hour
minimum wage- for correction
of substandards of living in the
textile case and directed the
meat packers to establish for
the first time in U. S. history
a complete wage rate structure.
The board and Vinson must
decide how to make the adjust
ments effective. The WLB has
not yet persuaded Vinson he
should change his order that
| the board not grant any in
creases until it is determined
whether price increases will be
required.

first letter in over three years

Philippines and two years in
Panama. His letter is as follows:
“Dear Grandmother — I hope
this letter finds you well and en
joying life. As for me I’m okay.
“I have been through hell for
the past three years, but that is
just part of the game. It makes
me appreciate the good old U.S-A.
and the old folks at home. I nev
er stopped to realize before just
how I could miss it all.
“I fought on Bataan, then spent
two years in a Jap prison camp.
After I escaped from the Japs I
fought guerrilla warfare for over
eight months.
• “Shortly after I escaped I met
Remedious Lorcin, a Filipino girl
who became Mrs. H. C. Watson.
Now that is my big problem, get
ting .her out of enemy occupied
territory. We are about 500 miles
apart and I haven’t seen her since
Christmas.
“I am sending this letter air
mail and I hope to hear from you
before I leave here. It would be a
pleasure to hear from all the
folks. Do you know, I haven’t
heard from any of you since be
fore the war? Here’s wishing you
all the best of luck and good
health.
“Please extend my regards to all
the family. Tell them that all let
ters will be a big surprise after
not hearing or receiving any mail
for over three years. With Love,
Wat.”
