MILITARY PAY-A Defense
Department actuary and con-
sultant to the Military Pay
Study Group has recommended
an across-the-board pay raise
averaging 8 per cent for en-
listed men and 8 per cent for
officers. The highest percent
age increase would go to those
in the lower levels.
The plan would give a SIS q
month increase to enlisted men
and a $40 a month raise to Of
ficers. In addition, there would
be two additional longevity in
creaSes for those in Els.
The Military Pay Study
Group is studying the proposal,
but it has not yet made any
final decision. There are some
on the group who feel that the
largest percentage increase
should apply where the greatest
need is to retain service skills.

President Kennedy has taken
q new approach on Federal pay
raises one that could result
IN larger and more immediate
pay raises for Government and
postal workers.
= Until now. Mr.. Kennedy has
stressed that his Federal re-
form pay plan was non-infla-
tionary and was designed to
bring middle and upper bracket
Government salaries UP to
parity with industry jobs. He
advocated only very minor in
creases for rank-and-file post
al and Federal workers.
Furthermore, Mr.. Kennedy
asked that the raises not start
until next January / and be
spread out over a three-year
period.
Beneficial Effect Seen

ence the other day, Mr.. Ken
needy presented Federal pay
raises in another light. He said
they would bolster the country's

that would have a beneficial

then the President was respon-
sible not only for the flight but
for the lies thereafter. If he did
not. then Mr.. Khrushchev was
right, the CHA was flying

Even the old timers are making
no comments about when the big

breakup was April 20, 1910. 3:27
