There may be ex-! pected a general rush for the cash: akin to the dash the senators and' house members made in Columbia I recently when they swamped the treasurer’s office to cash their “extra pay” checks before opposition liti gation could get started. It was a wonder, from all reports, that some of the members were not crushed or killed in that stampede. What congress has now done should have been done long ago. Why should the enlisted men be discriminated against? Long ago the commissioned officers were paid their terminal leave time in cash Apon receiving their discharges from the service. That was unfair.
