Army civilians in Korea spark debate on costs
A veteran writer argues the Department of the Army civilian DAC program in Korea wastes funds and could be replaced by soldiers to save money. He cites a DAC secretary with higher pay and privileges, notes long hours and security duties, and proposes higher overseas pay for soldiers instead. The letter suggests continuity could be kept with cheaper methods and urges Pentagon and Congress to review the policy. A second brief item reports a Sydney store reward for bottle messages found by a Chilean police officer during an Antarctic expedition
