Brood Run Community
Seeking Road Markers

The Loudoun County Board
of Supervisors requested the
State Highway Department to
make a thorough study OF
Route 7 from the Fairfax
County line to Leesburg. The
board noted that several fatal
accidents have occurred along
this stretch of highway. In a
traffic survey last summer
more than 5000 automobiles
per day were counted on
Route 7.
Broad Run Farms residents
said the only change made by
the department since the fatal
accident was to substitute a
stop sign for yield sign at
the community entrance.

Same Range

This Is the same range paid
under the old foreign duty pay
scale.
A Pentagon spokesman esti-
mated that the new arrange
ment would save about $50
million from the previous sys-
tenn, under which everybody
overseas received extra COM
pensation.
However, this will be largely
offset by an increase Of about
$40 million in separation al
lowances for men who cannot
take their families with them,
about 50 million for men who
face hostile fire in Wet Nam
and about $1.2 million under
a 10 per cent increase in cost
of-living allowances.
Under the pay raise bill, an
enlisted man with a rating of
ct. ES or E9-the top grades
will get a $25 a month pay
raise. But he will lose all but
$3.50 Of it If he is among the
group no longer eligible for
overseas pay.
Distinctions Recognized
A Pentagon announcement
said that, under the new con-
cept adopted by Congress, "it
is now possible to recognize the
differences in rigors of service
which prevail at different loca-
tions."
. Under the old foreign duty
pay approach, the announce
ment said, mo distinction was
possible between these loca-
tons"

to have living conditions COM
