Cites Cuts in Low Ranks
Rx Chris Mnfbfsen
By Chris Motkisen

A new armed services pay bill
viii be introduced in the House
tomorrow. but Representative Sut-
ton, Democrat. of Tennessee. lead
ing opponent OF the original meas
ure, declared last night that the
revision does not meet his objec-
tions.
The new bill. estimated to cost
$78, ,000. 900 less during its first
year than the one the House re-
jected May "a, will be offered by
Representative Kilday. Democrat,
of Texas. He was floor manager
for the House Armed Services
Committee on the first bill.
Mr.. Kilday said last night his
subcommittee will hold open hear
ings on the second-try measure
within a few days." the testi-
mony will be confined to that OF
members of Congress. he said.
Provisions Of Bill.
In an effort to counteract the
contention Of too much for the
high brass" that persuaded the
House to send the original bill
back to committee. the revision
would:
l. Apply graduated percentage
reductions to the pay raises pro-
posed in the first bill. except with
respect to privates. whose proposed
raise would be left the same.
2. Raise recruits pay from SIS to
$50 a month after four months
service. instead of not at all. as
originally proposed.
3. Continue the temporary war
time family allowances for wives
and children of enlisted men for
the duration of current enlist
ments.
Disappointed at Cuts.
Mr.. Sutton said. however, he
couldn't go along with the bill in
its present form.
He said he was afraid Mr.. Kill
day had missed the point" of the
major objections to the original
bill. fnasmuch as most Of the
changes appeared to emphasize
economy. which he said was not
the issue. Mr.. Sutton said he was
disappointed. particularly. at the
reductions in raises proposed for

proper the profession be con-
