Work Out Plans To Maintain Highway System
Topeka (INS)—Governor Andrew Schoeppel and D. J. Fair, state highway director, today, were trying to work out plans to maintain the Kansas highway system on reduced revenues resulting from curtailed income from gasoline tax and auto licences.
The highway department was further handicapped by the failure of the legislature to provide new sources of revenues. Importance of the matter was seen several weeks ago when the issue was up before the legislature. A number of officials and observers warned them that if the matter was not taken care of when the farm to market road maintenance fund was being discussed a special session of the legislature might be necessary.
Governor Schoepel termed today the situation "a serious problem."
Prospects today are that personnel in the highway department will be reduced in the near future to make up in part for the reduction in revenue.

Congress Approves Repeal of President's Bill Limiting Salaries
U. S. Treasury Dept.
Washington, (INS) — Senate and house conferences today unanimously agreed on legislation to repeal the presidential order limiting salaries to $25,000 a year net.
Approval was voted when the confeerees approved a debt limit bill, to which the salary limitation repeal is attached as a "rider."
The conferees approved the senate repeal proposal which prohibits the president from lowering either salaries or wages below the level existing between Jan. 1 and Sept. 15, 1942. The house repealer fixed Dec. 7, 1941 as the high water mark for salaries.
Youth Kills Sister; 'She Was Too Noisy
Flint, Mich., (INS) — Blaming "blood and thunder stories and movies" for the crime, Circuit Court Judge Paul V. Gadola sentenced 16-year-old John May to life in prison yesterday for slaying his sister, Emmogene, 6, because "she was too noisy."
Judge Gadola gave the youth the extreme Michigan penalty after disagreeing with three alienists who pronounced him sane.
"Even though alienists said he is sane I can't agree. This court is of the opinion that in an offense of this nature there must be some quirk of mind which is not normal. However, there is nothing for me to do but follow the law and sentence you to life imprisonment."
John told police he fired three shots into his sister's body after tormenting her with an arrow-head. "I was used to quiet and she was too noisy," the boy declared. He was arrested after seeing three movies following the shooting in his Flint home.

Students Qualify For Air Schools
Three former students of the School of Engineering of the University, Capt. Kenneth F. Troup, Kansas City; Second Lieut. Maurice G. Hill, Eureka; and Second Lieut. James P. Brown, Lawrence, were among the commissioned officers who, having completed their pre-flight training course at the San Antonio aviation cadet center, left last month for primary flying schools.
These officers possessed commissions earned in the air corps or other branches of the armed forces before being sent to the Texas training center. Having qualified for pilot training, they had been sent from their former posts to the San Antonio aviation cadet center for classification and prefflight training.
John G. Blocker, professor of economics in the School of Business, was the principal speaker at the monthly meeting of the Kansas City chapter of the National Association of Cost Accountants, which was held Monday evening.

Trial Period Before Stabilization
It also calls for a gradual relaxation of exchange restrictions, although it recognizes the fact that there may be need for maintaining some restrictions in Great Britain and the dominions in order to direct the use of available foreign exchange for the most urgent needs of reconstruction.
In respect to the other countries, especially those of continental Europe, it is felt that unsettled economic conditions after the war may necessitate a trial period before stabilization can be undertaken.
The idea of maintaining a stable pound-dollar rate is based on the conviction in official Washington circles that both the American and British governments have reached the conclusion that depreciation of the exchange value of a nation's currency is a poor remedy for economic difficulties.
U.S. and Britain Plan Stable Pound-Dollar
Washington, (INS)—A post-war international exchange and currency plan today is understood to have been drafted by the American government.
The plant is intended to be based on an understanding between the United States and Great Britain to maintain a stable pound-dollar rate after the war.
To Abandon Currency Depreciation American officials also believe this country and Britain will be prepared to abandon the practice of currency depreciation as a means of gaining competitive trade advantages.
Britain has drafted a postwar exchange and currency plan, and informal conversations are now underway between government experts of the two countries on their respective plans.
It is hoped they can be brought into line with one another so that
A general conference of financial experts of the United Nations also may be summoned during the war for the purpose of exchanging views and seeking to reach an understanding on the principles of an international plan.
Last Year Produces Record In Spending
Washington, (INS)—The commerce department today estimated that consumer expenditures for goods and services in America's first war year, 1942, reached the record total of $81,900,000.00.
This was ten percent above the previous high of $74,600,000,000 recorded in 1941 the department said. The percentage increase in total expenditures from 1941 to 1942, however, was slightly less than the increase in the prices of goods and services sold to consumers.
"What really happened," the department said, "Was that incomes rose sharply and consumers spent 10 percent more in 1942 than in 1941 in an attempt to maintain their standard of living. But they succeeded only in pushing up prices for the same or a somewhat smaller quantity of goods."
