Service pay hike high on the list
Washington reports a proposed 10 percent pay rise for all armed forces members may gain fast action in Congress next week. Vinson, chair of the House Armed Services Committee, said the bill, already approved by his panel, would raise base pay subsistence and quarters for all personnel, not retroactive, with an annual cost of about 800 million dollars. Retired personnel would also receive the increase to meet postwar cost of living boosts since 1949.
