A letter page argues Congress should raise salaries from about 34 dollars a week to prevent you need for voting in elections.

War cartoons by Bill Mauldin loom over Pentagon hearings on caste bias and efficiency in the U S Army. He accuses a rigid officer class of crippling reform as generals like Lee and MacArthur are cited in testimony.
