Service Allowance Raise Advocated
WASHINGT! June 28 The army and wave urged Congress to raise service allowances for dependents of enlisted men. A wife with one child would get 689 a month, plus 17 for each additional child, while a wife with no children would receive 50 with 28 contributed by the government and 22 by the enlisted man. The government would bear all child allowance costs. The plan was embodied in bills by Reynolds and Lodge and supported by a military affairs committee. A blanket 15 percent raise for all dependents was proposed, with the government covering the first month’s allowance after a man enters the service. Johnson noted the cost could total 164000 yearly.
