Navy Doubles Price of Clothes
But Makes 1t Up in Allowances

Initiation has caused the Navy
to double the price of clothes
for its enlisted men-but the de-
partment also has given its per-
sonnel a corresponding raise in
cash clothing allowances.
A department spokesman, ex-
planning the increase order yes
terday, said both the prices and
the allowances "are based on the
current price list" Changes are
made when old contracts run out
and new ones are signed at higher
rates.
The clothing items are sold in
ships stores both ashore and
af1oat. The new order, signed by
Navy Secretary Matthews, was ef-
fective Thursday.
The initial allowance to recruits
was increased from $118.35 to
$254.75. A monthly allowance
given after nine months training
was raised from $3.50 to $50 for
the first three years of service
and from $4.20 to $7.2O there
after.
While officers clothing does not
come from these sources, it un-
questionably also has risen, Off
cials said. But the officers cloth
