Bill Will Ask
Military Pay
Based on Skill
BY L. EDGAR PRINA

The White House has given
the green light to the Cordiner
military pay raise plan and has
told the Pentagon to prepare
draft legislation for submission
to Congress early next year.
This was learned from au-
thoritative Defense Department
sources who said yesterday that
an official statement on the
matter is expected to be issued
soon.
The pay plan, which was
sidetracked last spring by the
Budget Bureau for economy
reasons, was drafted by a COM
mittee headed by Ralph
Cordiner. president of the
General Electric Co. 1t would
make proficiency, leadership
qualities and technical skill
bases for higher pay and pro-
motion. Present pay increases
for the military are based pri-
Imarily on length Of service.
Some Notifications
The legislation now being
drafted will implement the
Cordiner plan with certain
notifications designed to soften
the impact on the Defense
budget.
One change agreed on would
phase out pay rises for officers
of the rank of major and
above in four annual incre-
ments rather than grant it all
at once.
The Cordiner plan was in
dorsed by former Defense Sec
rotary Wilson last spring. But,

mitted what he considered a
realistic" version of the plan
to the Budget Bureau. 1t was
turned down.
Neil McElroy, the new De-
Tense Secretary, voiced his sup
port of the pay proposal soon
after he came to the Pentagon.

atomic-capable arms were not
being sent to Korea at that
time.
The spokesman here said
some of the weapons on hand
have dual capabilities" OF
delivery - meaning they can
propel either a conventional
explosive charge or an atomic
warhead.
The Army announced in June
that it would send modern
weapons to Korea because OF
complete disregard" by the
Reds in North Korea of the
1858 armistice ban on such
arms. A Defense Department
spokesman said the modern
weapons would include jet war;
planes capable of delivering
atomic bombs but that "at this
time no atomic weapons are
being given to ground forces. u
Gen. White said South Ko-
rean military forces will re-
ceive certain items of equip
ment in very good time" to
modernize them.
The likelihood of attack from
North Korea 'is lessening,
Gen. White said. Asked if So
Wet missiles would affect the
United States military position
in the Pacific. the general said
he did not "see any particular
inference bearing on our situa-
ton here"

Rising Interest Rates Prompt Treasury
To Consider Boost on Savings Bonds

porate issues. Some people are
wondering whether the small saver,
such as the E-bond buyer particle
pating in the payroll savings plan,
shouldn't also be paid a better re-
turn on his investment.
Within the Treasury there are
differences of opinion as to whether
an increase in the E-bond interest
rate would be advisable. If open
market interest rates should de-
cline-that is if money should be-
come appreciably easier-any need
for such a change in E-bond inter-
est would tend to disappear. Such
a change in general interest rates
on the open market, however, is
nowhere in sight.
The Treasury Is not eager to dis
cusS this question on The Hill at
this time. Consideration this early
in the session probably would mean
prolonged discussion-which would
tend to slow up sales of savings
bonds while potential buyers wait
to see if a higher rate goes into
effect. From the Treasury's stand
point, If there must be new legis-
lation to raise the ceiling, the
shorter its consideration, the bet
ter. Therefore, some time closer
to the end of the session might be
a much better moment than now,
it is felt.
The 10-year E bond, called the
"baby bond" when it was intro
duced in 1885, is designed for the
small fellow who pays little at
tention to interest rates. That is
why so many E bonds are still
being sold despite the relatively
low interest return. The buyers are
interested in systematic saving much
more than they are in the interest
earned by their savings.
For the larger and usually better
informed saver a 12-year security
was devised. It is available today
In the form of bonds and K
bonds yielding, If held to maturity,
2.76 and 2.75 per cent, respectively.
Guaranteed Redemption
Like the E bonds, the is and KS
have a guaranteed scale of redemp-

ton values. You can tell in ad.
vance exactly what you can get
for a savings bond at any time up
to maturity and beyond.
Thus the savings bond is not
subject to market fluctuations, as
are other bonds. BY the same
token, it is no hedge against in
flation or against declining pur-
chasing power of the dollar. In
terms of money it is "aS sound
as the dollar" but no sounder.
In the January Harper's Mag
azine, Editor John Fischer COM
mented caustically on Treasury
advertisement which called savings
bonds one of the worlds finest in
vestments." Pointing to the very
real loss in purchasing power suf-
fered by those who bought savings
bonds a decade ago and held them
until now, owing to the rise in the
cost of living and decline in the
value of money, he asked: Does
the Government have any moral
right to asksits citizens for money
on these terms in time of long
continuing imitation? Doesn't the
Government have moral obliga-
ton to repay it's debts in coins just
as valuable as those it borrower"
Mr.. Fischer suggested that we
emulate foreign countries in issu-
ing purchasing power bonds" Fin
land does this. paying according to
changes in the price index Securi-
ties of the French government rail-
roads are tied to the price of rail-
road tickets. Britain issues bonds,
interest on which is based on a
lottery. Russia, Sweden, Norway,
Belgium. Italy. Greece, France.
Denmark and Holland use similar
devices to garner savings.
But this suggestion finds a cold
reception among Treasury Secre-
tary George M. Humphreys aides.
To adopt such a scheme would be
conSidered-there at least-as tam
tamount to declaration of no con-
fldence in our currency.
To issue purchasing power"
bonds would be case of the Gov
eminent sharing others fears Of O

Running an inaugural is big
business. Mr.. Fleming has esti-
mated this one will cost from $780,.
600 to 81 million. 1t is expected to
generate spending Of nearly 10
times that amount.
Although not as many visitors
are expected to come here for the
big show as there were in 1853, the

tons to protect their pocketbooks

Mr.. Fleming was the Presidents
desire to have the Inaugural Parade
held down to two hours. which faced
the committee with the unpleasant
prospect of saying no to about
half of the eager organizations
which wanted to take part. Four
years ago the parade ran four hours
and 80 minutes, ending at Z pm.
AS it is, there will be eight di-
visions in the parade. To clear the
way. the Public Utilities Commits
sion has issued a raft of special
orders stopping Pennsylvania ave-
nue. streetcars and revising transit
schedules to keep buses and street.
cars from crossing the line Of
march.
Sect SoIes Log
whether all the IS 1900 seats along
the parade route will be filled is
somewhat doubtful. Although the
higher priced seats, ranging up to
$l8.75. have been selling well. there
has been a marked reduction in de-
mand for the cheapest locations.
One veteran inaugural observer
blamed this on the boost from So
to $3.50 in the minimum price for
seats and on the fact that these are
limited to the short stretch Of
parade route between the Capitol
grounds and John Marshall place
NV.
In addition. he pointed out. this

The order is one phase Of the
complex business of getting ready
for the National Capitals greatest

A technically. the order was re-
quested by Metropolitan Police
Chief Robert v. Murray to permit
maximum use Of his force to keep
order during the parade and cere-
monies which will celebrate the
launching of Mr.. Eisenhower on his
last term of Office. 1t permits Chief
Murray to pay overtime and to

The big day will climax more than
five months of planning which be-
gan even before the Nation had de-
cided who was to be Chief Execu-
tive for the next four years. This
was a procedure recommended by
the Inaugural Committee of four
years ago as a device for getting
this years ceremonies off to a run
ming start.
Biportison Send-off
