Muster Out Pay Urged for Men Over 38
Rep. B. W. Kearney of the 30th New York District says he will introduce a bill to include men over 38 discharged from the Army who are not covered by the current mustering-out pay measure. The existing bill, sent to the President, pays 100 to 300 dollars with many qualifications. Kearney calls the present plan unjust and promises prompt action to extend pay to older veterans with strong service records.

The Rivers and Harbors bill sent to Congress seeks postwar employment and modernization of the Great Lakes to Hudson River Waterway. It would deepen locks from Waterford to Oswego to 1 1/2 feet below normal pool, at an estimated federal cost of 1.01 million dollars, to be executed by New York with federal funds under federal supervision.
