Show PUBLISHED FOR HILL AIR FORCE BASE, MIKE FOR GRADED EMPLOYES 'AY irn u ah A fill Hru nmwn No Buck Rogers Wgstorm Family Pay Bill Passed By Congress; Provisions Await Truman's Signature Yet Mechanical Brains Think Approximately 1209 graded employees of Hill Air Force base will receive an increase in wages on July 1st if President Truman signs a new pay bill passed by Congress during the last few hours of the final session. Exact provisions of the bill were not immediately available at Hill AFB but personnel officials believe the pay legislation bill to contain the following: a temporary wage increase on bonus of $330 per annum to take effect July 1, 1948, and expiring July 1, 1949; no retirement deductions will be taken from the additional compensation provided by the Act... The pay bill also grants a raise of $450 per year to postal employees. The increase in pay will be the first raise granted graded employees since July 1, 1946. The bill in its original form also carried a provision for clas sified employees who are paid by the hour to receive an increase of 20 cents per hour. However, personnel officials state, there are no classified workers at Hill AFB being paid by the hour; thus no one at Hill AFB is affected by the 20 cent an hour increase. .They explained further that the hourly increase mentioned in the bill covers only certain Clerical-Mechanicpositions found almost exclusively in Washington, D.

He said that Hill Air Force Base has a reputation at Air Materiel Command headquarters of being staffed by "very friendly individuals." He also emphasized the permanent status of Hill AFB, re marking that it was one of six depots established by Act of Congress. The base will remain on a stable operational basis, he said, with possible gradual expansion of facilities. ine ueneiai pointed out mat tne base is "here to stay as part of tho Dmim!"" "milium ri innrr r r r nnj community, cooperating with the community in understanding of mutual problems." Strategic Location Stressed General Morgan said that Hill AFB is the focal point for shipments going to Alaska. Engine and aircraft parts are being shipped by commercial carrier over the Alcan highway exclusively, he said. Only small shipments having a high priority are being flown to the Alaskan bases. The strategic location of the ba&e and its nearness to supply lines in all directions increases the importance of the depot. Materials from other installations are shipped to Hill AFB for consolidation and to Alaska.
