Exceptions in EM Hike Policy i" Mortgages Still Have To Be Paid The Defense Department is paying $8.3 million a year on mortgages for military housing units at bases which have been closed or have been designated to be shut down. Involved are 9446 housing units. Among these are 7297 Capeharts and 2149 Wherry units. The Capehart housing was constructed cm government land by private contractors and financed by 100 percent FHA-insurmortgages which were assumed by the military upon completion. About 1 15,000 units were built. The Wherry housing, built cm government property, was also FHA insured and made available as rentals to military families. About 83,700 Wherry units were constructed. Hie' program ended in 1956. New base closings to be announced this summer will likely add to the mortgage payments for the unused housing. Exceptions standing men who otherwise could not be promoted because of lack of position vacancies. The July hike quotas world-wid- e are 11,093 to E--5 and E-- 4. Under the exceptions, therefore, commanders 28,049 to 2773 to E--5 and 7012 to E-- 4 without regard may promote to duty slot vacancies in these grades. ed Suffering from Brown Barrel? 5 rifle problem identified by the experts Latest brown barrel Dont call for a medic, however, the is up to you.

PW Pay Doubled 35 a Day President Nixon has signed into law a bill which authorizes payments of up to $5 a day for American prisoners of war in Vietnam. The rate is twice the rate paid to prisoners of the Korean War and World War II.

Study Points Ways prob- on college education, lems may involve a taxes on polluters and development of new cities to lure residents from crowded metropolitan areas. Although noting predictions that the U.S. population may be stabilizing, the report said 70 per cent of the countrys people probably will be concentrated on of the land by the end of the century. AND HALF THE population, containing the most advanced and most prosperous elements of the society, will live in three giant metropolitan belts h and San Francisco-Sa- n Diego, the panel e staff report. on national goals said in a Few firm conclusions were offered in the report, entitled Toward Balanced Growth: Quantity with Quality. The panel said its suggestions were intended to stir public debate and generate concern in Congress. The trend toward settlement of most of the population in metropolitan areas can be reversed if federal, public and private institutions adopt a coordinated strategy, the study group said. Alternatives might include fostering the growth of existing small cities, building new cities and generating growth in rural areas. REGARDING SCHOOLING, the presidential study emphasis is group said, Many people feel that on education, particualready being placed degree and that possibly there are larly on the four-yemany students now in college who do not really want to be there. Perhaps college should be deemphasized, the panel said. But in any case, the nation should examine approaches to higher education. One answer to pollution, the panel declared, is the imposition of taxes on polluters. In the competitive market place, raising the price of pollution would tend to lower environmental degradation, as producers would have an incentive to use manufacturing methods that put fewer burdens on the environment. And higher prices for the products that dirty the air and water would induce households to alter their buying habits, the report stated. one-ten- th Boston-Washingto- n, Chicago-Pittsburg- 228-pag- too-gre- at y ar O'seq Teachers Can Study in U.S. i The Comptroller General has approved a.

Yes, a visit to home, whether it is in the city or in the country, in the mountains or in the valleys, on the coast or in the desert, or in America or some foreign country, still remains the same gratifying experience for all individuals.

(VMK) Its Only Money In usual end of the fiscal year fashion the Pentagon waited until the last minute to spend some money. Included in the more than 100 contracts awarded June 30 were three major building pacts. One calls for construction of 100 family housing units at Vint Hill Farms Station, Va., a new instrument trainer building at Fort Rucker, Ala., and a three-stor- y Medical Field Service School at Brooke Army Medical Center, Fort Sam Houston, Texas. DoD Surveys Combat Zone Mail Delay If a survey discloses that combat zone mail is being delayed Defense Department officials say they may return to Congress for changes in the current free Vietnam mail law. Hie Army and the Post Office recently traded charges about the blame for mail from Vietnam to the States taking a day or more longer to reach its destination. Instead of air mail handling in the U.S., Vietnam mail is getting only first class handling (which in many cases turns out to be air mail). When the free mail law was rewritten in 1967 it called for rally first class handling of free mail within the U.S. The defect was found recently in a search to reduce postal expenses. So far. Defense Officials say theyve had no complaints about mail delays as a result of die new system. M off Intattln) Q(n SIPUCDMS!! Carbonated Drinks Coming Up Carbonated beverages may be seen more frequently in Army mess halls. DA Circular 30-- announces that bases used in making carbonated beverages, including root beer, lemon-lim- e and cola, are being added to the federal supply catalog. The beverages may be included on field ration mess menus, the Army said, but they cant be used as substitutes for canned or frozen fruit juices. Usage will be restricted to those dining facilities equipped with carbonated beverage dispensers, the circular said. 0 3 1 Less than two days after President Nixon signed the liberalized SGLI bill into law, survivors of a young reservist became eligible to collect $15,000 even though he never paid a premium. In fact. Veterans Administration officials say, it is possible the reservist never even heard of the new law. The reservist, a traveling salesman, was killed in an automobile crash while driving from his hotel in New Orleans to training at Naval Air Station, Callendar Field, La. Hie accident happened around dawn June 27. President Nixon signed the insurance bill on June 25. The new law, which increases maximum coverage for active duty servicemen from $10,000 to $15,000, also extends the coverage to national guardsmen and reservists from the time they leave for training to the time they return home. The premium for the reservists is $1.80 a year for foil coverage. 967 Chevrolet Impala 4dr., powerglide, powefitoerina. h.t., WAS NOW $2095 $1795 1965 Olds Delta 295 00 995 00 1965 Chevrolet Impala 2dr., h.t., powerglide, power 139500 1095 00 1968 Ford Mustang. 6 cylinder, standard transmission, 2095 1795 00 1968GTO Pontiac 2295 2095 00 1 4dr., turbohydramatic, power steering, air conditioning, radio, power brakes, white wall tires radio, white wall tires i 2 dr., h.t., four speed, bucket seats, radio, white walls 1965 Ford Custom v-- 8 79500 engine, standard Irons. 49500 0 theyll he tested on 600-20- 0 i 0 steering, Michellain tires (4 brand new) 4 dr., hut they can forget it. their Additional MOSs At one time, way back before the Vietnam buildup, plans called for AMOS tests to be carried out every other year, in years alternating with Secondary MOS test years.

Im a Texan and proud of it Having just returned from a glorious two weeks in the grand Lone Star State, I can proudly say that it doesnt matter how old you are or how long youve been away, its always nice to return to that special place callwhether it be in Maine, Florida, Washington. ed Home California or any point inbetween. Yes, it doesnt matter where home is actually located, for the meaningful experiences that one associates with the homestead are relatively similar wherever he resides. It doesnt matter who you are or what you do, home will always be that unique haven for family and loved ones, and a secure and composed friends, memories, love. and of warmth feeling A RETURN VISIT to the homestead always tends to rejuvenate and revitalize an individual In most peoples minds and hearts, the family holds a particular meaning and a feeling that is always present even though it is feeling often concealed and hidden. A visit to home always finds calloused hands outstretched Dad with his for that reassuring handshake and also Mom with possibly a few more gray hairs, but still that same familiar smile. And dont forget the grandparents who seem to swell and glow with pride as they embrace their grandchildren. Brothers, sisters, aunts, uncles, cousins, nieces, and nephews all combine to make the visit home a lasting memory. The untangible value of lasting friendships certainly becomes more treasured with each return visit. Friends from childhood days and school days alike are always willing to share experiences of the past along with their new hopes for the future. Old memories and future daydreams are also an integral part of the visit home. As one joins in conversations with others or explores the inner sanctums of the closet, attic, or basement, he will almost always uncover remnants of moments that were once a major part of his life. Perhaps its the old high school annual, an old pair of track uniform, or even a picture of ones spikes, a cheer-leadold school sweetheart; but, whatever the momentos may be, the brief reflection of years past mark another highlight of his trip home. VISITS TO CERTAIN local sights remind the visitor of all the dreams and aspirations that once filled his head. The old high school auditorium, the biology classroom, the football stadium, and the library all remind one of the dreams of becoming a famous actor, a doctor, a pro football player, or achieving higher realms of education and day-dream- EDITORAL The first part of the democractic election process is the nomination of candidates. In many states the process is still going cm, with some states scheduling their primaries as late as October. Within the two major parties and in smaller ones as well men eml women are competing for die right to represent their party and receive its backing in the general election Nov. 3. Campaigns for nominations, like election campaigns later on, are intended to give each citizen lots at facts about the candidates seeking votes. Each candidate makes sure that his good points and his views on the issues get publicity, and rivals usually air each others weaknesses. Now is an excellent time for servicemen to get the picture of the people who will be running for office in November. Newspapers, magazines, radios and television are reporting their actions and statements on public issues. Read, watch and remember. Above all, keep in mind that the best informed serviceman or woman in the world wont be able to cast his vote this fall if he is not eligible. So find out what the candidates stand for, make sure you meet your state's voting requirements and secure your absentee ballot; then you'll be prepared to exercise one of your most precious rights Nov. 3.
