Defense Thinking About Another Military Pay Hike

it to be a cure-all for service

Washington - (UPD - With a
SI. 2 billion military pay raise
about to win congressional ap
proval, the Defense Depart
ment already is thinking of
asking for a further boost
early next year, it was learn
ed today.
Assistant Defense Secretary
Norman S. Paul said the pend
ing pay bill will not "solve
all the problems," such as
"moonlighting" by service
men who get off duty jobs
to make ends meet, "and ex
treme cases where enlisted
men have turned to relief. But
it is going to help," he said.
Paul, Pentagon manpower
..chief, told United Press Inter
' national that conferences al
Greenhorn Grange
Plans for several coming
events were made by Green
horn Grange at a meeting re
cently in the Grange hall.
Initiation in the first and
fourth degrees
ready had started with Army,
Navy and Air Force person
nel officers on whether to
seek a raise again next year.
"I cannot yet tell you
whether, or how much," he
said. But he was sure Defense
Secretary Robert S. McNa
mara would back a new re
quest as early as next Jan
uary if the pending boost
leaves "disparities" in mili
tary pay.
'Splended Step
Vice Adm. William R. Smed
berg III, chief of Naval
personnel who revealed last
winter that some sailors in
New York City were entitled
to state relief, told UPI the
$1.2 billion hike was a "splen
did first step" In getting some
equity between civil service
and military service pay.
"But we must not under
any circumstances let Con
gress feel that it has settled
the pay problem," Smedberg
said. He said the military
have a long way to go to
catch up with the raises given
civil servants in the last five
years.
Although unknown num
bers of enlisted men have
turned to one form of relief
or another to piece-out their
incomes "moonlighting" is far
more widespread. And it is
not confined to military men.
Many officers of the mid
dle ranks with recent expe-
ferred Sept. 14.
There was considerable dis
cussion on Booster Night and
Amateur Night which will be
held Oct. 26. Plans were also
made for the Grange's fair
booth.
In other business at the
meeting, conducted by Master
Lou Coles, it was announced
by Greenhorn Grange Insur
ance Agent Ray Wheeler that
Ralph Booth of southern Cali
fornia was appointed State
Grange insurance agent in the
office made vacant by the
death of Frank McFarl. '
Lou Coles reported on the
youth conference held recent

This officer told of personal
experience with young sol

furniture, television sets and

to their service emergency re

Sealed Capsules May
Save Lives of Pilots
By JOHN POWER
United Press International
El Centro, Calif.-IIIPD-A jet
pilot of the future, in a spot of
trouble, may find himself
floating down to terra firma
in a sealed capsule equipped
with everything "except a size

That's the way a spokesman
for the Joint Parachute Test
facility summed up one of the
experiments being conducted
Family Food
Costs Listed
In Bulletin
Corvallis - A retired cou
ple living alone can expect to
spend anywhere from $12 to
$19 a week on food according
to information given in a new
Oregon State university ex
tension bulletin.
The couple that eats more
meat, eggs, fruit and vege
tables will pay a little more
Ulan couples that depend
more on potatoes, baked
goods, cereals and dry beans.
Oregon families who want
to compare their food costs
with those of other western
families will find an easy-to-ligure
chart in the bulletin
"Your Weekly Food Bill."
Written by Mrs. Zelma Reigle
Ncugart, it's available from
county extension offices and
the OSU bulletin clerk.
Food costs vary greatly
from family to family for
several reasons, says the
specialist. These include:
Age of children. Teenagers
cat a third to a half more
food during their rapid
growth years than adults.
Food habits. Food costs go
up if you eat meat 10 times
a week instead of seven, eat
steaks and roasts instead of
hamburger, stew, casseroles,
or other meat extender dish
es, or if you buy canned or
bottled beverages.
Frequent use of fully pre
pared items such as TV din
ners, prepared sauces, dress
ings and cereals and fancy
packaged foods.
Pel foods. A big dog often
cats as much as a member of
the family, reminds Mrs. Neu
gart. Use of oul-of-scason foods.
These foods are likely to be
more expensive and lower in
quality than in-scason foods.
Non-food items - cigarettes,
cleaning supplies, health and
beauty aids, ctc.-often bought
at the grocery stores, snouid
not be counted in the food
cost figures.
Grueiiing Urges
Soviet Vessel Curb
Washington - Urfl - Sen.
Ernest Gruening (D-Alaska)
Wednesday carried to Presi
dent Kennedy his appeal for
warships to bar Soviet fish
ing vessels from Alaskan wa
ters. Gruening, in a telegram to
Kennedy, said Russian fish
ing vessels - including whal
ers - were actually lasier
than Coast Guard and Navy
vessels now in Alaska.
He said Soviet vessels were
"repeatedly invading" the ter
ritorial limits to take fish and
that protests to the State De
partment by Alaska Gov.
William Egan "seem to be un
availing. "It is not enough to report
these incidents and make dip
lomatic protests," Gruening
said. "These violators should
be arrested and brought to
trial, and this cannot be done
with the inadequate Naval
and Coast Guard equipment
now available."
by a dedicated group of serv
ice and civilian personnel in
the Southern California des
ert, 120 miles east of San
Diego.
Under the code name "Proj
ect Cesar," the experiment
deals with a new "envelope"
tneory of saving pilots from
disabled military jet aircraft.
ine new theory, still in the
early experimental stages,
calls for the cockpit to be
severed from the remainder
of the aircraft by a series of
rocket firings triggered by the
pilot.
The cockpit, which is auto
matically resealed, then floats
down by parachute to land or
sea complete with food, water
and radio beacon.
Engineers and technicians
at the test center believe that
the new theory will save
countless numbers of lives be
cause the pilot will remain
in the same environmental
condition during the descent
and subsequent landing.
Dominated by a whirl tow
er, several hundred feet high,
the facility is manned by per
sonnel of the U. S. Navy Para
chute facility and the USAF
6511th Test group (Parachute).
All the experiments belnir
conducted here are designed
with one idea in mind, to save
the most valuable commoditv
in military air operations -
the pilot.
Focal point for several of
the tests is the whirl tower
designed and built to provide
an economical method of test
ing large numbers of para
chutes.
With present procedures.
chutes can be tested as rapidly
as one every 20 minutes.
More Tests
Since many new parachute
designs require more than 200
tests before live jumps are
initiated, the whirl tower
method saves considerable
time and money as compared
to aircraft drop tests.
The coming of the space
age has also left its mark at
this desert base near the Sal
ton sea and seven miles west
of the agriculturally rich city
of El Centro.
Recovery systems for many
missiles, drones, escape cap
sules and satellites are being
tested here to insure that
these items are recovered suc
cessfully under actual conditions.
