free disability pay drawn by Mai.
Gen. Bennett E. Meyers. Soon after
plans for the congressional inquiry

cases of disability pay resulting
from war wounds would not be con-
sidered.
Admiral Sellers said his group,
however, has received evidence that
many retired for physical dis
abilities are not apprehensive" that
their payments are in danger of
being cut
ITO change the rules in the
middle of the game" he said, would
create grave dangers to our national
defense by undermining morale.

feel insecure and would eye the out
