Ike Requests Pay
Increases For
Career Servicemen

WASHINGTON, R- President
Eisenhower Thursday asked Con-
gress to extend the draft law
years, grant pay increases to
career" servicemen and create a
powerful military reserve to deal
with any "aggressor SO criminal
ly unwise as to attempt an atomic
attack"
The President set out the adj
ministration's military manpoWer
program in two special messages
to the lawmakers, saying the
measures he proposed would give
this country the proper military
posture" for the first time in
peacetime.
On pay, he proposed increases
only for men willing to serve
longer than a minimum time,
saying it is necessary to maintain
''the experienced hard core Of
modern fighting force"
Calling for 'selective" rise,
Eisenhower said there should be
no increase for officers in the
first three years Of their service
and none in the first two years
for enlisted men.
This would mean no pay raises
for twO-year draftees or for young
reserve officers putting in only
their obligated time.
The added cost would be about
S7O5,0OO,O0O a year.
Eisenhower devoted one mes
sage of 1900 words to the pay
question and a second of 1000
words to his request for contin-
uation Of the draft law and es-
Enlistment Of an improved re-
serve program.
