Backers Refuse To Delay Military Pay Boost Vote
ELEAZER WASHINGTON Jan 12 United Press House military leaders oppose delaying a 10 percent pay boost vote for troops. Rep Carl Vinson rejects delaying action and warns the $832000 pay raise would be killed if the bill fails Tuesday. Backers want to amend the bill to favor recruits over generals, but Vinson says amendments are blocked. Rep Pat Sutton supports the bill as written, predicting passage. The raise would apply to base pay and allowances, with recruits at $75 monthly and top officers at about $1146 monthly with dependents.
