preme Court and the Court OF Claims. to
De erroneous. In the case Of Captain Ty-
Ter retired the Supreme Court affirmed
tho opinion Of the Court OF Claims that q
retired oficer was entitled 10 longevity.
Advocates OF the bill say that courts have
held that the time spent at West Point
should be credited in computing longevity
pay. and that the Court Of Claims held
that service as an enlisted man should be
credited in computing longevity time and
pay. The accounting officers OF the TTeasu-
