Some Believe Publicity may
Keep Salaries Down
By J. R. BRACKETT

WASHINGTON, Oct. 18. (IP)
Action to limit high salaries of
big business leaders was private
ly forecast in official circles to
day after the federal trade com

7000 companies to furnish data
on the salaries ot their executives
and directors. v: r. -
Following President Roosevelt's
inquisitive glance at movie sal
aries, the commission's inquiry
was described in informed circles
as a prelude to more definite ac
tion.
The inquiry, authorized by a
senate resolution, is immediately
concerned with gathering facts for
congress. What will be done with
them will remain for congress to
decide.
Tbere have been demands from
some members for a redistribution
of wealth. How far the president
is inclined to go in this direction
has never been definitely dis
closed. The same senate resolution or
dered the federal reserve board to
obtain salary data from- all mem
ber banks in the reserve system,
directed the reconstruction fin
ance corporation to report salaries
paid by banks, borrowing from it
and instructed the federal power
commission to learn about the
compensation of public utility of
ficials. While no legislation has yet
been formulated, some officials
expressed the belief that continu
ous publication of salaries prob
ably would have the effect of
keeping them down.

NEW YORK, Oct. 18 (AP) The stars massed in the

Behind Sagittarius lies a mass
