dicated that it will favor 50 per cent
additional pay for glider crewmen
and will explore the possibility of 50
per ct. additional combat pay for all
service personnel actually in action.
The glider pay bill, introduced by
Representative Powers of New Jer
sey, was considered briefly by the
House group on May 2, following re
ceipt of a report from the War de
partment that it has changed its
mind and now favors flying pay for
glider soldiers.
Action was deferred on the bill
pending the appearance of expert
witnesses from the War department.
Representative Sparkman of Alaba
ma asked the witnesses to be ready
to testify on a proposal to pay ad
ditional “fight pay” to troops ac
tually in combat.
Bills providing “fight pay” at the
same rate as that provided for air
men and submarine crews have been
introduced in the House and Senate
by Representative Weiss of Pennsyl-
i vania and Senator Tobey of New
' Hampshire, respectively.
In the Senate committee there is
pending the House-approved Mer-
rit bill which amends the pay act
to credit warrant officers and en
listed men with all the types of ser
vice that officers may count for pay
purposes. The bill also allows^ ser
vice in the former medical reserve
corps to be counted for pay.

all the pending pay act amendments,
instead of handling them piecemeal.
Some of these amendments have
been proposed by senators; others
have been worked out jointly by the
Army, Navy, Marine corps and the
Coast Guard.
The amendments include:
Crediting service at the military,
naval and coast guard academies for
pay purposes.

crediting of prior enlisted service to
officers.
Extending the definition of “par
ent” in the pay act to permit offi

ent. At present allowances may be
drawn only for dependent natural
parents.
Permitting Naval and Marine re

into the regular forces after the war
to draw enlistment allowance for
the reserve service.
Permitting women reservists dis

From Montgomery Ward’s reply to
a telegram' from President Roosevelt
in which action against the company
Was threatened unlett it capitulated
to the demands of a CIO union:
“Your assertion that the strike
is interfering with the distribu
tion of essential goods is based
upon misinformation. On April
13, the United States Post Office,
presumably acting on orders
from Washington, removed its 70
employees from the mail order
bouse. For more than 30 years
the Post Office had maintained
this department for the purpose
of handling parcel post ship
ments to Ward’s customers. On
April 17, the United States Post
Office refused to deliver to Wald
incoming parcels from customers
on which postage had been fully
paid. Despite the assistance
given to the strike by the United
States Post Office, Ward's store
has been open for business dur
ing the usual hours each day
since the strike began and is up
to date in the filling of mail
orders.’
