Military Pay Boost Gains in Congress
The Cordiner committee proposes a compromise on automatic raises, with no pay rise for under two years in service. Top enlisted levels would rise to 450 from 520, captains to 520, colonels to 920, and four star generals to 1,875 monthly base pay. Longevity raises would end after normal service, and a 6 percent raise would apply to retired personnel.
