" The fireman, Harold L. May nard. 1288 Eighth St.. is back on the job after a ten-day suspension handed him upon his return from National Guard camp . at , Ft Lewis. Maynard has rejected a pay check from the city for the period spent at camp, indicating he wants to await the ruling from the at torney general. The fireman was suspended on two counts of Insubordination, ac- cording to Chief E: L. Smith. The two causes of action were May card's failure' to report as avail able for duty immediately upon bis return to Salem and his re-1 fusal - to report to the ' city the amount of his military earnings. City Attorney Chris Kowitz re cently ruled that, in effect, the city is not liable for full pay for employes on leave of absence for military training. The ruling held that the city is liable only for the difference between the military pay and salary of the regular job. On the other hand, a state law stipulates that public employes be given two weeks leave without loss of pay or benefits.
