Secretary of Defense Wilson ordered pay boosts for about 350 000 enlisted specialists with increases from 12 to 50 dollars monthly. The raise targets roughly 15 percent of enlisted personnel and funds begin next year after service branches determine eligibility. The move follows a committee led by Ralph Cordiner of General Electric to overhaul the military pay structure and reward capable personnel.
