Military Pay
Rise Of 14.4%
To Be Asked
Capitol Reaction
Cautious on Request
Drafted by Kennedy
BY RICHARD FRYKLUND
Star Staff Writer


President Kennedy will ask
Congress for military pay raises
averaging l4.4 per cent for ac-
tive duty servicemen and re-
servists.
About 4 million persons will
benefit directly-2.7 million
active-duty soldiers, one million
reservists and about 100000 re-
tired personnel.
The Pentagon believes the
proposed pay bill will have no
major problem clearing Con-
gress this year and probably
will go into effect on Septem-
Der 80.
Reaction Cautious
However, the first reaction
from Capitol Hill was cautious.
In the Senate, those familiar
with the views of Senator Rus
sell, Democrat of Georgia,
chairman Of the Armed Serv-
ices Committee, said some form
of pay increase legislation
would be approved, but not
necessarily in the form and
amount proposed by the admin
istration.
On the House side Represen-
tative VinSon, Democrat of
Georgia, chairman of that
body's Armed Services Com
mittee. told newsmen he will
not comment on the bill until
he sees it. But Mr.. Vinson also
said the measure would not
have first priority on the
calendar
The pay raises will cost
about 81 ,250,000, 900 during the
first IL months of the raise.
Then the costs will go quickly
to SIS billion a year.
An increase in quarters al
lowances, already approved
by Congress and taking effect
this week, will add another $285
million a year to the cost Of
military pay.
AZ Years Since Raise
"Over four-and-a-half years
have elapsed since the last pay
adjustment for members Of the
uniformed services" Defense
Secretary Mcnamara said yes
terday after a presidential
panel submitted its report on
military pay revisions.
I'm the interim, some erosion
has taken place in the real
value Of their compensation,
and there has been q substan-
tial loss relative to the wage
and salary gains of wage earn
ers in the civilian economy.
Il would like to emphasize
that l believe that military
compensation should be kept
abreast of productivity and
price changes in our national
economy"
Drawn Up By Panel
The pay recommendations |
are based on the report by a |
nine-man advisory panel
headed by industrialist Clar-
ence B. Randall.
The panel tried to compare
military and civilian pay scales
but found that the two are
seldom comparable. A Navy cap
tain who commands a ship |
could be compared with a !
civilian merchant marine skip
per, but the same captain could
be transferred to a shore Job
which would be comparable |
with a much lower r-paying !
civilian position.
