salary needs of married and
unmarried military men, and
by difficulties in setting a value
on various fringe benefits. The
group recommended that mill
tary pay be kept under con-
tinual study and that further
adjustments be made.
The panel questioned the
present 20-year retirement pro-
gram and the post exchanges
and commissaries which serve
military people.
These views, which filtered
out to military men before the
Randall groups formal report,
made some military men COM
plain that benefits given with
one hand may be taken away
with the other. There also we're
complaints that a pay raise
would not be equal to last
years civil service increase.
Mr.. Mcnamara did not reveal
the exact increase proposed for
each rank. A high Defense De-
partment source celebrating on
the statement said, however,
that lower-ranking officers and
higher-ranking enlisted men
would get fatter raises.
1t was pointed out that SEN
ior officers benefited more from
the last pay raise in 1858. Also,
Pentagon officials believe that
more Of the extra pay should
go to career enlisted men.
The Randall group was par
ticularly interested in raising
pay for military men on their
second tour Of duty. A subStan-
tial raise for corporals and first
and second lieutenantS, it is
hoped, will lure the soldiers
into shipping over.
One member of the panel,
George Meany, head Of the
AFL-CIO, dissented from the
proposed pay scale for privates
and PICS. Since most of these
men are draftees. he said it
would be unfair to let their pay
lag behind that of other mil
