Washington June 8 Republican support for a $50 a month minimum pay scale for the armed forces strengthens Sen. La Follette’s effort to overturn a joint committee’s $46 compromise. Most Republicans oppose the $46 plan, preferring the prior $56 figure. La Follette vows to recommit the bill to conference to push for $50. The House plans a separate measure to aid families of service members with monthly pay up to $78 for the four lowest ranks.
