OF the army and navy.
Senator McCumber. who had been pro-
testing against the disposition 20 pile
up privileges. immuniJies. and em0lu-
ments for army and navy officers.
agreed promptly that the provision was
subject 10 this construction. Senator
Warren, chairman OF the Military Com
mittee. insisted that OF course IL meant
nothing OF the sort and Senator Lodge
agreed with him.
Il all came about through the effort
of the committee 10 provide that the
Government should De allowed, IN spite
OF the rate law, 10 secure reduced trans
portation rates on its soldiers and miIi-
tary property, and 90 permit officers 10
secure passes OF reduced rates for them
selves and families when travelling.
Senator McCumber denounced the
whole proposal. He thought officers
ought 10 pay as much as other people.
He said there was general procedure,
10 which Congress was addicted. OF Civ
ing allowances, direct and Indirect.
