Retirement Pay Of Army Officers Hit
Washington January 10 1933 The Emergency Officers Retirement Act faces sharp cuts to reduce the nearly one billion dollar annual veteran expense. Proponents say abolishing the act would save about seven million dollars yearly by returning officers to standard pay with 30 percent disability preserved for war service. The Veterans Bureau estimates lower savings. The National Economy League notes officers with 30 percent disability earn more than totally disabled enlisted men. The measure would affect about 6 106 officers earning above enlisted levels as well as some 4 000 temporary wartime officers whose retirement pay averages 139 dollars monthly compared with regular benefits of 51 dollars.
