Passage of Leave Pay Law Seen
Washington June 7. The House plans to pass a leave pay bill for about 15 million past and present servicemen averaging 250 dollars each for unused furlough time. Key sponsors predict quick approval after brief debate with one minor amendment to simplify payments. The measure covers anyone since September 8, 1939 and provides up to 120 days pay, to be issued at discharge or immediately for those out of service, with payments based on sworn statements and direct to next of kin if the service member has died. It also exempts this pay from taxes and creditor claims and bars future cash in lieu for furloughs.
