Rates Based on Aggregate

House naval affairs committee, believes
pay should be increased.
designations from the service are re
ported to have been on the increase,
with the result that disintegration Of
the service is feared. The naval apprO
priation bill cut down the appropria-
fions so that many men have been re
turned TO private life. and it is said
there are not sufficient crews to man
the ships at fighting strength.
Emergency legislation this month is
proposed by Mr.. Butler to meet the
situation The naval bill discontinued
communication of shore quarters to officers
on October |. while they are serving on
ships. That amounts to $50 or $50 Il
month. and the bill proposed would be
retroactive to October !. The naval
committee has reported this bill to the
House.
