shapely Betty Grable, whose legs
apparently attract more custo
mers than her band-leading hus
band's horn, was the highest paid
Hollywood star shining on a new
list of big salaries issued by the
treasury today.
The blonde Miss Grablo was
paid $208,000 by 20th Century
Fox Film Corp. for the year.
Trumpet - blowing Harry James,
her husband, received $111,066.07
from the same company to give
the couple a total salary of $319,
C66 67 that year.
Their combined salary, howev
er, was short of the $568,143.60
paid to Charles P. Skouras, presi
dent of Fox West Coast Agency
Corp., and National Theaters
Amusement company. Skouras
topped all on the treasury list.
Lists Big; Salaries

. and other compensation paid to
individuals by corporations dur
ing the calendar year 1945 and
corporate fiscal years ending in
1946. It was only a partial list
ing. Other salaries 'will bo listed
in about five months.' '
Miss Grable edged out Uliva
. DcHavilland, her nearest rival,
by a scant $1,000 for top honors.

was Fred MacMurray who got
$203,525.66 from 20th Century-
Fox.

up to the $310,728 collected in the
previous year Dy ueanna juuroin.
Miss Durbin was not on the treas
ury's latest list. Nor did . Miss
Grable's salary compare with
$355,426 paid Leo McCarey, direc
tor of 1'Going My Way," by Para
. mount pictures. For McCarey It
was a considerable drop from the
$1,113,035 which he received in
the previous year.
Rockefellers Not lisien
- The listing is no true Index to
wealth. The nation's richest fam
ilies, such ns the Rockefellers
and the Du Fonts, are not lisled
since their incomes are mainly
from investments. Henry Ford II,
youthful president cf the Ford
Motor comnany, was listed as be
ing paid $140,0004 by the com
pany. ' ;'. ... , ,
The treasury is required by law
to make public corporate salaries,
commissions and bonuses of $75,
00 or more annually. The list does
not include income from divi
dends, proprietorships, partner
ships, rents or royalties.

tion to Skouras and Miss Grable,
