Pay Boosts in Military Now Likely
Washington officials in the Eisenhower administration have dropped opposition to a major military pay increase plan. A Cordiner committee report, once rejected, is favored by the Pentagon and the Budget Bureau. Proposals seek pay raises up to 29 percent for many personnel, restructuring longevity rules, and a 1 percent cost increase for those with over two years of service. If enacted, the plan could save up to 5 billion dollars by 1962 through efficiency gains and retention incentives.
