Truman Signs Bill Providing
Retirement Pay for Reserves

tive service during World War I or
World War II.
Retired pay will be computed at
21a per cent of base pay for the
highest rank held, multiplied by the
number of years on active duty,
plus one half of l per cent of the
same base pay multiplied by the
number of years on inactive status.
In no event, however. can the pen
sion be greater than IS per cent Of
the highest active duty pay drawn
by the person receiving the pension.
The law generally overhauls the
Army and Air Force promotion and
retirement systems. 1t provides for
boards which will survey the records
of individual officers and recommend
retirement or dismissal for those not
qualified for promotions.
1t also allows Regular Army offi-
GERS and Army nurses to retire at
the highest temporary rank held
during World War II, and allows
Regular Army enlisted men and
warrant officers to retire after 30
years service at their highest tem-
porary wartime rank.

closing up the exits and, permitted
the nonunion workers to come up
only if they signed UNIV union
membership applications.
"As a condition of release from
detention" the complaint said, "the
employees were required to sign
applications for membership in the
union"
All four coal mines are in Preston
County, w. Va. A hearing on the
complaint will be held before an
NLRB trial examiner August 10 at
Kingwood. w. Va.

accused in the complaint of violat-
ing the Hartley Labor Act at
the four mines by conducting mass
picketing and beating nonunion
workers in seeking to compel them
to cease work and join the union,
This is the second NLRB COM
plant pending against the UNIV
The other was filed by the South
ern Coal Producers Association on
charges that Mr.. Lewis and the
UNIV failed to bargain with the

ton after the NLRB obtained Fed
eral Court injunction June re-
quiring him to do so.
