Lauderdale's top official. City Manager H. Milton Link receives $15,000 per year, the city attorney $7,500 plus an allowance for a secretary plus legal fees and expenses for a total of $10,0001. Concerning the remunerations paid to Hollywood's brass," Watson said that "in comparison with surrounding towns, our salaries for depart- ment heads are low. Certain fund limitations have prevented us from straightening out this situation, but we are trying." The city manager's observations came during consideration of budgetary legislation which, if adopted, will hike the pay of before.

Glad the truce Is in force Sgt. Frank Fernley, 25, son of Mrs Julia Fernley, 843 NW First Ave.J and Cpl. Jerry L. Bean, 22, son of Mr. and Mrs: J.

L. Bean, Pompano Beach. The two grew up in! Broward County but did not meet until they were serving with UN forces in Korea. Now they are fast friends. The soldiers arrived at Seattle, Wash, aboard the USS Marine Phoenix, which left Korea July 14 with 2,400 men.

The truce was signed whUe the ship was at sea, making the vessel the first to return to the U. S. after the armistice, Fernley and Bean returned home with different ideas about the Army, but the same opinion on Kora they never want to go back. As for the Army, Sgt. Fern ley re-enlisted for another three-year hitch.

Bean was discharged and wants to be a civilian the rest of his life. The Ft. Lauderdale man joined the Army six years ago. A medic, he served in Germany from 1948 top municipal officials by what amounts to, in one instance, $4,400 a year because of the "prevailing scale in other areas." Watson's $900 pay raise as provided in the. new budget brings his salary to $9,600 yearly.

Among others who will benefit is City Attorney Judson A. Samuels, whose $6,600 salary will remain, but whose office will receive a grant of $4,400 for miscellaneous and sundry expenses, making a tidy $11,000, per anhum. City Engineer Eugene C. Hedges, another top bureau head with a salary of $6,900, gets a $600 hike. Police Chief Philip A.

Thompson, who recently proved he had the backing of Hollywood's electorate when a public meeting failed to produce any critics save one kindly suggestion that parking violators and grateful to be back home are to 1950 and then spent 16 months at Fort Jackson, S. C. Sent to Korea 16y2 months ago, he served as a medic with six different out fits, only one of which saw front line action. Bean was drafted two years ago and spent 16 months in Korea with Army engineers. His line of duty was water purification.

Although neither saw foxhole action, each knows what the three-year police action has done to the tiny Oriental nation. Each remembers particularly the hordes of wandering, home less, hungry children. Sgt. Fernley said the Korean children were so pitiful "every outfit over there donated to support an orphanage." Aj to what they did on any time off they had, Fernley said: "There wasn't anything to do. Everything you went to the Army runs it." 'Conformity be given admonitory notices, would get a $280 boost, to $6,000.

Police detectives and sergeants are also slated for raises slightly less spectacular than Thompson's if the. budget as drafted Is approved. The same reason for hiking official pay is advanced for cutting the wages of those who dig the city's ditches, trim its coconut trees, and perform other menial, heavy and back-breaking labor. "We want the hourly rate for common labor to conform to wages paid in Ft. Lauderdale and other area cities," City Manager Watson said, but he did not say that city employment in Hollywood is so lucrative that common 'laborers are flocking to Hollywood in such numbers that area municipalities are protesting.
