without regard to the $4,000
dual compensation ceiling.
Military reservists who re-
tired under the Act of 1949
have not been subject to the
dual compensation law. Neither
have Navy or Marine Corps
reservists who retired for dis
ability.
However, the Court Of Claims
last year ruled that Army and
Air Force reservistS who re-
tired for physical disability
under the Act Of 1899 were SUBJ
ject to the dual compensation
law, the same as the regular
military who retire.
This meant that thousands
of reserviStS retired for dis
ability who held Government
civilian jobs, had to forgo all
or some Of their retired mil
itary pensions, since their
combined salary. pension could
not exceed $4,000 Q year.
However. the Court Of Claims
this month reversed itself and
ruled that these reserviSts were
not subject to the dual COM
pensation law and would be
treated the same as all other
reserviSts.
It's expected that the Con-
troller General, who previously
had issued regulations conform
ing with the earlier court de-
cision, will soon issue new reg
ulations permitting full salary
and retirement payments to
these reservists. The new reg
ulation' Is expected to be retro
active, restoring to these re-
servists whatever military pen
sion they had to forfeit as a
result Of the earlier court rul-
ing.

EXECUTIVE PAY-AS pre-
dicted here some time ago, the
Kennedy administration intends
to go slow on asking Congress
to raise, executive pay cabinet
officers, agency heads, assistant
secretaries, bureau chiefs, etc.
The administration feels that
1t wouldn't look too good to the
country for it to ask for q pay
raise for its top officials so soon
after coming into office. Also
with a national recession, key
leaders Of Congress are cool to
the move, particularly since
they are afraid 1t would also
lead to Q move to raise their
own salaries.
Quite a few members Of Con-
gress wouldn't be averse to rails
ing their own pay II the time
Is right. But they feel that eco
nomic conditions being what
they are. it would be political
suicide for many Of them II

In Buying Property

Sound Advice
For those readers who are
contemplating the purchase
of their first home, desirous
of buying a larger home, or
making an investment in
real estate of any type, I
would like to offer some
practical dos and dont's
based on experience:
DO ask questions! Find
out about the developer or
seller of the property.
Determine the coming or
proposed land use of any
vacant, unimproved land
nearby the property you are
interested in.
DON'T buy without actu-
ally making a firSt-hand, on
the-scene inspection Of the
lot or house. 1t might sound
awfully nice to own a couple
of acres on which you plan
to build your retirement
home. Just be sure that the
site you have in mind can
be developed a few years
hence.
DO put yourself In the
hands of an experienced real
estate broker who you know
personally or by reputation.
If you don't know the broker,
check with the real estate
board in your community,
Better Business Bureau and
your bank.
DON'T make verbal agree
mentS. If something you want
is not clearly spelled out in
the contract, get it in writ
ing You may think your
new home comes equipped
with a screened porch, a dis
posal. or something extra
, that is not incorporated in a
model house. 1t is so simple
to have these items spelled
out in advance, including
the cost thereof, and thus all
parties to the agreement will
know precisely what is ex-
pected.
DO beware of buying un-
developed land, particularly
in areas in which you are
not familiar. If judgement
dictates that YOU should buy
some acreage that is located
cross-country. be sure you in
spect the site before signing
a contract. When consider
ing this type of investment,
it might be we'll to ask if
the tract is approved for
loans insured by the Federal
Housing AdminiStra Lion,
whether sewer and water
connections are available to
your prospective property;
what the seller or broker
will do in regards to reselling
your lot for you in case your
plans should change; what
type of financing is available
for construction; who is go
Evening star., 1961-09-22

ing to pay for streets and
sidewalks, if they are not
already installed and paid
for.
DO comparison shop.
Whether it's a home, vacant
lot, or investment in a small
apartment building, find out
