NIAL B e e S e ] WASHINGTON — A pay is lik2 the song—it's so nice to ccme home to. Of course, all ex- s know what it's for—a sort of owance to tide over until the new to get us Kk into civies, and to buw our best girls a coming-home present I guess you understand that the hor bly discharged veteran with 60 days service, or less, rates $100; more than 60 days, $200; and more than 60 days, plus overseas duty (outside Uncle Sam’'s continental limits), $300. It's paid in monthly installments of $100 with first payment due on the date of discharge Still, letters coming in to this column indicate there's some uncer- tainty as to who does not rate mus- te out pay. These letters come from men who never got it, and want to know why So I did some snooping around and finally met up with several c] es of ex-service people who never 'will get mustering-out pay—but, of course, for a reason. Officers whose base pay is more than $200 (including fogies) don’t get it. Neither do officers and en- listed men who are retired from the service with retirement pay. Veterans discharged at their own request to accept essential employ- ment don't rate mustering-out pay, unless they did some overseas duty. This group seems to be pretty big. No mustering-out pay goes to vet- erans who spent their entire service in an Army Smdenh Training Pro- Mustering - out al job is squared away, ALASKA R. R. T0 OPERATE (RAFT IF RATES GO UP In the Washington news-letter from Delegate Bartlett, dated Nov. 23, it says the Alaska rate marinc hearing schirduled in Seattle to- morrow is only preliminary in na- ture In line with his government should subsidize the Alaska service if passenger and freight rates are increased, Delegate Bartlett has introduced a bill in the House giving The Alaska Railroad basic authority to operate steam- ships in the Alaska trade. In a long speech on the floor of the House the day he introduced the measure, Bartlett said, in part, “I do so with some degree of reluctance. By and large I am not in favor of extend- | ing government operations to a field previously and traditionally served by private capital. In this e, however, it seems not only dr’slmbln kut highly essential. Alaska is now threatened by an increase in the already high and almost intolerable rates which are charged for both| freight and passenger traffic. If| these increases are allowed, or if| lany increases at all are allowed Lhi’y result will be economic death for| Alaska.” The terms of the bill provide that | Fairbanks, belief that the | Francis Wiles, | Milton wram, Army Air Forces College Training Program or similar Navy Marine or Coast Guard program Servicemen who get a discharge iqg enter one of the service acad- emies don't rate mustering-out pay but there shouldn’t be a gripe in a sroup of those lucky enough to get appointed West Point or An- napolis Officer stay on the active list for more than three years after the official end of the war their rights to mustering-out pay And, finally, a small group of Air Corps reserve officers, who receive lump sum payments under the act of June 16, 1936, get no mustering- cut pay. But are few and far between So if youre not included in one of these groups, you're entitled to mustering-out pay. But, if your dis- charge is dated prior to February 3, 1944, the date the mustering-out payment act become law, you must apply for it If you're one s who those boys those before- February-thirders and you're ex- Army, write to your state's Army finance offices; ex-Marine, to the Commandant of the Marine Corps, Washington, D. C.; ex-Navy or Coast Guard officer, to the Bureau of Naval Personnel, Washington, D, C The law makes it clear that mus- tering-out pay is yours and and yours alone. It's untaxable, un- attachable, and not even your best girl can take it away from you — or can she? ALASKA AIRLINES FLIES 83 WEEKEND The of Alaska with Airlines Starliner Capt.
