Opinion:
Military pay; allowance for quarters. — Plaintiff sues to recover basic quarters allowance for her rank and grade while serving as a commissioned officer in the United States Navy on the ground that the bachelor officers quarters offered her were not adequate for her station as a married woman.

III.B, April 16, 1954, and 32 Comp. Gen 368 (1953), plaintiff is not entitled to recover and on September 30,1966, the petition was dismissed.
