More Liberal Food
Provisions in Bill
By John A. Giles

The armed services today
planned to ask the Senate to
lower a charge fixed by the
House in the appropriations bill
for meals served officers and
civilians and to change another
provision so disabled veterans
may continue to buy at COM
miSSaries.
The House inserted a section
designed to make the meal
prices at military mesSes more
nearly reflect actual operating
expenses and food costs. 1t
asserted that charge in no case
would be less than $2.25 a day.
The services already have put
the provision into effect in ad-
vance of final passage of the bill
in line with stop-gap resolution
passed by Congress.
But the services also have de-
cided to ask that the figure be
$1.60 a day. This is the actual

considered unlikely Congress will
60 along. The House Appropria-
tions Committee said the former
rate was $145 a day and added
1t constituted an indirect Federal
subsidy of around sos million
q year.
Would Benefit Widows.
The commissary section is so
worded that members of the
armed services and their imme-
diate families may use the stores.
The Pentagon would like to
get this changed so that not only
disabled veterans but also widows
of armed persnonel and retired
personnel may continue to trade
there.
Another section prohibits the
use of appropriated funds for the
payment of allowances to citi-
Eens in the territories or possess
sions. However. workers recruited

Cites Alaske Living Cost.
The delegation from Alaska
and Hawaii attempted unsuc-
cessfully to get this amended on
the House floor. The Alaskan
delegate complained bitterly that
living costs at Anchorage were
30 per cent higher than in Sc
attic.
The Defense Department wants
to make some adjustment.
Another provision which the
department wants changed pro-
hibits the use of funds to pay
tuition or expenses for off-duty
training of officers. This affects
a large educational program. a
great portion of which is fur
nished by the University of Mary
land.
