Public Officials to Get Leave for Guard Duty
Governor Dewey signed a law allowing public officers and employees to take leave for military duty with the New York Guard without losing pay or vacation time. The bill, sponsored by Sen G Frank Wallace of Syracuse, caps compensation at thirty days per year while on guard duty. Dewey noted sacrifices by New York Guard members and approved the measure. He vetoed a $3,000 veterans law compilation bill, a Red Cross vehicle fee exemption, and a duplicate press measure.
