The ex- men actually suffered reduc- aise bill while the higher the rank, the ease. The bill’s supporters claimed that the pay raise scale was’ just- ified because enlisted men had received raises-in recent years While officers had not. But this didn't seem to gonvince those who knew that inflation had hit the low - pay groups much hard- er than the generals.

Others knew that officers got plenty that en- listed men didn’t get already, ineluding higher pay, and that their responsibility was more |than offset by prestige, power, position, money and such added things, as transportation, priv- ileges, etc. ‘Most of the members in the house couldn't seem to picture generals, who take home any- where from seven or eight hun- dred dollars, to more than a thousand, month ,suffering too j much. They thought the corporal or sergeant, with wife and child en, was having it tougher with his one hundred plus. And so the House rejected the pay bill pushed by the / brass.

Some other Congress- men began to figure - just why is the military life so tough in peace - time? The officers have regular hours, they buy at whole- sale prices, they need have little worry abont losing their jobs, in most cases, and they get good pay and some veriety. What in tough about that? House members were subject- ed te much abuse by the. brass, for refusing to increase military pay. Another bill was readied. The test on it may come before you read this. Allof which just goes to prove that four years can make quite a difference. The politicians in Washington would| have never seriouly consided pay raises with ten million. men and women service most of them G. L's. They would have been voting themselves out of office.
