Hike Pay For Servicemen Plans To Boost Military Pay
Washington AP The administration will ask Congress to raise pay for active duty servicemen and reservists by about 144 percent averaging 1.75 billion dollars annually affecting some four million people. President Kennedy approved the plan and it will be submitted this month. Defense Secretary McNamara called the cost large but justified and noted changes including remote duty pay replacing sea and foreign duty pay and a variable career incentive pay to replace reenlistment bonuses for enlisted personnel. Retirement pay would shift to cost of living adjustments. Senate leaders indicated some form of pay rise would pass, though not necessarily this form, while House chairman Vinson warned against early action.
