The governor did not say he would veto the bill but his com-

On a related subject Bellmon indicated he may approve a
general bill boosting the salaries of most county officials in
the state. The oili includes a 150 a month increase in county
commissioner travel pay.
Earlier in the session, Bellmon vetoed a bill giving commis-
sioners a $75 a month hike in travel pay.
"One of the reasons for vetoing the earlier raise was that it
singled out county commissioners,” Bellmon said. "We feel it
should be general’ This bill is a general increase.”

a baseball cap and a Filipino shirt and carrying a

airport, saw the jet. climbed up the net into the cargo
hold, settled down in a corner and went to sleep.
"After a while there was a banging and some more
cargo came in but no one saw me,” he said. “I was
a bit frightened, so I didn't say anything. Men closed
the door and I was locked in. Just after that I felt
the engines going.
"I didn’t know where I was going. After a while I
got cold, I shivered.
"The trip took a long time, seven hours and I got
pretty hungry.
When the plane landed there was more noise and

and two men found me.”
IAN was taken to a hospital in Manila and given

spokesman said. “He’s a nice little boy and has had
fun and we won’t charge him. But we don't want any
others trying it.”
