industry dominated the list of Americans whose earnings exceeded $75,000. y G. M. Head Is Fifth President Charles E. Wilson of Motors ranked fifth in the country but first in the auto innd He received $362,954 in 1044, However, General Motors explained that part of this payment was for bonuses earned for prior years, Carmen Miranda, the Brazilian bombshell of 20th-Century Fox, received $201,458 to become both the highest paid actress and the highest paid woman in the United States. The. partial listing did not include Movie Magnate L. B. Mayer, who has led the field for a number of years. His 1943 earnings were $908,069. His 1944 earnings probably will appear on a later list. Mr. McCarey's first place figure of $1,113,035 was made up of $75,000 in salary and the rest in royalties | and “other compensation.” : Ten High Listed |

president, 20th-Century Fox, $260,833 salary. For Services Only The treasury listings included only money paid by corporations in salaries, commissions, bonuses and other compensation for personal services in excess of $75,000 annually, They did not include income from investments. That is why these lists never include the Rockefellers and other famous names who have tremendous incomes, but receive it from investments rather than salaries. President Truman's $75,000 salary was not listed since it does not come -from a corporation. Likewise, salaries paid by proprietorships are not shown. A fina] list for the calendar year 1944 and fiscal | years ended in 1945 will be released in the late fall. Tax Take Is Heavy The treasury figures are gross payments. Under the tax law in| effect in 1944, a net income of | $1,000,000 would have been subject | to a federal tax of about $900,000. On the same basis, the tax on a net income of $500,000 would have been $442,985; -a tax of $348,985 on $400,000,; $254,985 on $300,000, and $68,665 on $100,000. General Motors said in a statement that payments to some of its executives included stock bonuses earned in years before 1944. Thus, it said, the treasury’s 1944 figures for G. M. executives average about 20 per cent higher than actual compensation earned for the year, ’ In all, 36 persons, including Miss Miranda as the only woman, drew salaries and other fees in excess| of $200,000,

By EDWARD J. BYNG The theft of the jewels of Hesse is only a reminder that to many royal jewels of legendary fame the war which has just ended was merely another episode in a: story of greed and blood and glory that has gone dpwn the centuries. - LY priceless jewels have disappeared during this war. Many have been saved. The fate of many others is still a mystery. More than six imperial and royal crowns, thousands of irreplaceable masterpieces of arts, the age-old and sacred regalia of a half dozen ruling dynasties have been involved in the shifting fortunes of the two world. wars. Foremost among these are the two giant diamonds known as the “Regent” and the “Florentine.”

Greed Behind

The sensational story of the theft of the jewels of Hesse, which has resulted in the arrest of an army colonel and a WAC captain revives the question: What has happened to some other royal treasures of Europe? In a series of articles, of which this is the first, Edward J. Byng tells the amazing story of some of these fabulous gems,

queror had it set as a good luck charm, After Waterloo the Prussians captured the stone, but returned it to Napoleon's successors. Charles X had it set in his royal crown, and by 1840 the value of the gem had risen to 12 million francs, then the equivalent of $2,400,000. Looters Seek Stone In 1848 the secord French revolution added another episode to the stone's carer, A band of looters broke into the royal treasure chamber, but were thwarted by a couple of loyal functionaries who covered the looters with their pistols.

Since that time the jewel has been known as the ‘‘Florentine.” Two hundred years after it was acquired by the Medici, it was taken to Vienna by Frances of Lorraine, grand duke of Tuscany, The grand duke took it with him when he married Maria Theresa, the empress of Austria. It reposed there for 200 add]tional years and was the pride of the imperial treasure of the Hapsburgs.
