Congress sidesteps wage problem created by militia service
Washington July 1 Congress avoids raising monthly pay for enlisted men as the army and National Guard budgets surface in the annual appropriation. Representative J Hampton Moore argues 15 dollars monthly is too low for militiamen and families, while others note gaps in government support for those serving at the border and the need to retain married troops. An amendment ensures National Guard personnel who are government employees are restored to their pre service positions after duty.
