Inc Dill ) supporters cldiiiicu
F, that the pay raise scale was just
flied because enlisted men had
received raises in recent years
while officers had not. But this
didn't seem to convince those
who knew that initiation had hit
the low pay groups much hard
er than the generals. The defend
ants tried TO argue that the pro-
posed pay increases based pay on
responsibility and that it
should be that way. Others knew
that officers got plenty that en-
listed men didn't get already,
including higher pay, and that
their responsibility was more
than offset by prestige. power,
position, money and such added
things, as transportation, priv
ileges. etc.
I Most of the members in the
house couldn't seem to picture
generals. who take home any,
where from seven or eight hun
dred dollars. to more than a
thousand. a month suffering too
much. They thought the corporal
OF sergeant. with wife and child
en-. was having il tougher with
his one hundred plus.
And SO the House rejected the
pay bill pushed by the brass.
Such a hoel went up from Off
GERS and their wives, you would
have thought they were really
suffering. Meanwhile the enlisa-
cd men began TO catch on. They
didn't want a five dollar raise,
when the generals were getting a
four or five thousand dollar
raise. They figured that wasn't
quite fair. But the officers and
their wives yelled. Even vener-
able Omar Bradley made speech
that said in effect raise the Off
GERS pay so we can get good men.
Congressman, investigating,
found that applications to reenter
the services were numbered in
the tens of thousands, so there
was plenty of talent available,
actually Some other Congress
men began 10 figure just why is
the military life so tough in
peace time? The officers have
regular hours. they buy at whole
sale prices. they need have little
worry abont losing their jobs, in
most eases, and they get good pay
and some veriety. What in tough
about that?
House members were subject
esd 90 much abuse by the, brass,
for refusing 10 increase military
pay. Another bill was readied.
The test on il may come before
you read this. All of which just
goes 10 prove that four years can
make quite a difference. The
politicians in Washington would
have never seriouly consided pay
raises with ten million men and
women In service most of them
