THE SUNDAY STAR, WASHINGTION, D. C., MAY 9, 1937—PART TWO D mfim\h ARMY CONSIDERS FLYER INSURANCE Would Replace Pay Boosts Under Plans for 1939 Supply Bill. 8o much interest is being taken in the advisability of substituting insur- ance for increased pay for fiyers in t Army Air Corps that it is ex- cted tentative plans will be pre- pared for consideration with the 1939 Army appropriation bill next year looking toward the insurance of flyers in amounts of $10,000 for single men and $20,000 for those who are mar- ried. In some quarters it is felt that it is far better to provide a lump sum by way of insurance to be paid to families in case of death rather than pay them flying pay. The average flying pay is about $1,500 per year. Each officer and man has an oppor- tunity of taking out war risk insur- ance to the extent of $10,000 provided, of course, the action is taken within 120 days after going into the Army. ‘The idea is a new one and, if adopted, would probably cover the several air services, Maj. Gen. Oscar Westover, chief of Air Corps, expressed the belief it might be a wise plan to provide an amount of insurance that cach flyer Would carry so that each would re- ceive the same protection as far as the hazard is concerned. The Air Corps chief suggested that the amount of such insurance should not be less than $40,000. Another sug- gestion was that the flying pay oe left as it is and that it be made manda- tory for every pilot to take out in- surance, the premium to be paid out of the flying pay. Gen. Westover is of the opinion that flying pay should not be acted upon until the matter has been thoroughly investigated, keeping in mind the necessity of having the pay uniform for all flying personnel of the Government A number of Army medical officers, all first lieutenants, will become stu- | dent officers in the next course at the Army Medical Center, this cit They will sail from San Francisco on July 7. | They include First Lieuts.
