Hope to Agree on Army Pay Measure
Washington reports the war department seeks a compromise on the military pay bill to break deadlock. A proposal would give lowest ranking personnel $40 cash monthly and $10 in non negotiable bonds, as an alternative to $50 and $42 scales supported by the house and senate. A 20 percent overseas pay increase remains. LaFollette plans a motion to discharge the conference committee and push a direct senate vote on the $42-$50 issue.
