No extra pay yet for Army air mail men
The Chicago Tribune reports Army air mail corps personnel have not received maintenance or regular Army pay since taking over air mail duties February 20. Enlisted men in Chicago have borrowed money for meals and tobacco, while pilots receive regular pay but lack per diem funds. A pending $5 per diem grant is expected to remedy the situation, with several officers reporting live-in-credit cases at Byrd Field and in Atlanta.
