Senate Would Allow
5.6Pct. Raise
To Military Personnel
Proposal Would Benefit
Lower-Runk FomiIy Men
More Than House Bill
By John A. Giles

Senators said today that their
version of the military pay legis-
Ilation would give enlisted men and
junior officers a larger pay hike
than their superiors.
The House had passed a fiat 10
|per cent boost in base pay and
allowances for all Of the 3.6 mil
lion persons expected to be in the
armed services during the next
year.
But yesterday. as had been ex-
pected. the Senate Armed Services
Committee approved a bill that
completely revised the House plan
by limiting the average increase
to SIS per cent and giving the
bigger boosts to lower ranking
personnel with families.
2 Versions Compared.
In completely abandoning the
10 per cent increase concept
advanced and strongly supported
by the Defense Department-the
Senate committee measure con-
trasts in the following manner in
some specific categories:
Base pay tmonthly)-
Major generals and above pres
ent,. 1854; House, $1,05O: Senate.
1888.
Lieutenant colonels: Present,
$484; House, $532: Senate, $498.
Captains: Present. 1910: House.
$407; Senate. 1881.
Second lieutenants: Present,
$213; House. $235: Senate, $219.
Warrant officers (W-3 class

ate. $344.
Master sergeant: present, $235;
House, $258; Senate, $242.
Corporal: present. $102; House,
$113; Senate, $105. -..
Private (recruit): present, $75;
House. $82; Senate, SIT.
Subsistence allowances for all
officers and warrant officers was
from the present $42
monthly to SAG by the House and
to $54 in the Senate bill.
Enlisted men authorized to eat
of posts now get 1925 per day.
The House would increase this to
$2.49; the Senate to $2.75.
The rental allowance structure
was changed thus:
All officers not furnished quar-
ters: Bachelors. no increase; one
or two dependents. $40 monthly
three or more depend
ents, $40 increase.
Present quarters allowances
range from $75 monthly for sec
ond lieutenants to $3.50 for one
and two star generals. Chairman
Russell, Democrat, Of Georgia
said 1t was the first time an extra
had been made for Of.
ficers with large families.
Other Variations.
Rental allowances for enlisted
men without dependents not fur
nished quarters now runs at $4S
month. The House would boost
this to 80: the Senate to $5l.
Enlisted men with two de-
pendentS In the three lowest pay
grades and enlisted men with one
or two debendents In the upper
pay grades would be boosted from
$67 to $74 by the House. The
Senate bill sets the figure at $50.
Enlisted men with more than
two dependents in all pay grades
now get $85. The House set the
new figure at sos; the Senate bin
at 500.
Senator Russell said the SEN
ate version was nearer an actual
cost of living increase" He esti-
mated the Senate bin would cost
about $375 million a year less than
the House measure. It had been
estimated the House bill would
mean $3.50 million annually more
n expenditures.
The Senate bill calls for a 81
per cent hike In base pay. That
means retired officers would get
only that much increase, since
they do not get any allowances
under the Law.
