Family allowances debated for enlisted service members
A Senate measure, introduced by Tydings, aims to provide monthly family allowances for all enlisted personnel across Army Navy Air Force Marines and Coast Guard. The plan sets $85 minimum for one dependent with $40 paid by the service member and $345 by the government, rising with more dependents and higher ranks. Retroactive to August 1 under House terms, total cost projected at $242 million through 1951, with caps and cutoffs similar to WWII schemes.

No Further Rail Strikes Halted By White House Talks
Washington Aug 22 unions halted any expansion of rail strikes for the time being after White House talks failed to yield a settlement.

Earlier officials had warned of a broader five day token walkout if no quick accord was reached, a move now set aside following new White House discussions.
