Senate Adjourns With Pay Rise Bill On Hold
Senate adjourned after five quorum calls as debate on a proposed 59 500 000 pay increase for officers and enlisted personnel stalled. Republican Senator Wadsworth argued officers wives are selling household goods to survive while pay hikes would rise roughly 81 percent for officers and 260 percent for enlisted ranks. Amendments to grant privates similar raises were defeated amid close votes.
