The President, under tne present law has authority to revise the rental and bsistence allowances downward, pro- viding reports from the Department of Labor regarding reduced lving costs warrant a decrease. He has no authority however. The allowances vary according to rank, length of service and number of dependents of officers. The maximum daily allowance for food permitted by law is 60 cents, or €219 a year. When on shore duty and not quartered in Government buildings, officers are given a rental allowance of from $480 to $960, according to rank. When on ficld or sea duty the ofiicers receive no rental allowance The subsistence allowance is increased for officers having dependents. The dep-ndency eliowances 1ange from $480 10 §1,440, according to rank. Backed by Pay Doard. Officers of the three services have con- tended the allowances should be con- ered In conjunction with their basic pay as their full sa'ary, and this view has been supported by the Interdepart- mental Pay Board, created soveral years ago to investigate pay of officers. Apparently the Wh'te House shares this opinion, tco. A reduction in the allowances to mert the decline in living costs undoubtedly would have pre- cipitated a howl from those who have held that allowances and basic pay are | inseparable. While authority has existed for a presidential order reducing rental and food allowances, there has been mno occasion to it during the past years of prosperity. Living costs have declined appro: mately 10 per cent during the past year, according to Government statisticians. This estimat» is based on retail prices of foods, clothing and other products A 10 per cent reduction in subsistence allowances would have effected quit> a saving in pey expenditures during the coming y2ar. May Reduce Marines. While pay and allowances will be maintained, the military and naval establishments will seek to economize in | other ways. The latest move, announced today by acting Sccretary of the Navy Jahncke, is to rcduce the strength of | the Marine Corps. | Mr. Jahncke said that Maj. Gen. Ben H. Fuller, commandant of the Marine Corps, has suggested that the Marine strength be cut from 17,500 to about 16,000 men. A caving of $1,000,000 would result. he declared. In line with the suggestion, Gen Fuller has ordered that no more new recruits be signed and he has made plans for closing several of the smaller recruiting stations. Only men desiring to re-enlist will be accepted, under the | new ruling. Gen. Fuller said today he has re- ceived no_instructions Marine force lower than the 17,500 men now enrolled. The corps is authorized to maintain a strength of 27,500 men, but the actual size of the corps de- pends on the annual appropriations, he explained. Last year funds were provided for 18,000 men.
