Ike Requests Pay
Increases For
Career Servicemen
WASHINGTON, (*> — President
Eisenhower Thursday asked Con
gress to extend the draft law 4
years, grant pay increases to
“career” servicemen and create a
powerful military reserve to deal
with any “aggressor so criminal
ly unwise as to attempt an atomic
attack.”
The President set out the ad
ministration’s military manpower
program in two special messages
to the lawmakers, saying the
measures he proposed would give
this country the “proper military
posture” for the first time in
peacetime.
On pay, he proposed increases
only for men willing to serve
longer than a minimum time,
saying it is necessary to maintain
“the experienced hard core of a
modern fighting force.”
Calling for a “selective” rise,
Eisenhower said there should be
no increase for officers in the
, o
first three years of their service
and none in the first two years
for enlisted men.
This would .mean no pay raises
for two-year draftees or for young
reserve officers putting in only
their obligated time.
The added cost would be about
$705,000,000 a year.
Eisenhower devoted one mes
sage of 1,800 words to the pay
question and a second of 2,000
words to his request for contin
uation of the draft law and es
tablishment of an improved re
serve program.
At least four ships have been
sunk by charging whales.
