Laird Says: Massive Pay Lure Needed He served from 1952 to retirement from military in April 1961 as As- - - annually. AND THEY WOULD raise careerists pay, too. They their guidelines are that a pay system should Ire exsay ternally competitive and internally equitable. That means the military pay should Ire attractive enough to bring new people in and retain them as they move up the career ladder. The secretary indicated, however, concern over the cost of the pay. He noted that a 2.6 million man force in 1965 cost $13.9 trillion for pay. The same force today costs $29 billion in pay. SO THE ADMINISTRATION will soon have to come to the gut decision alrout what to do on military pay. Surely the position will Ire far enough along to lry lrecoinc part of the fiscal 1972 lrudget. President Nixon is on record as saying that for FY 1972 he will recommend an additional $2 billion for added pay and other special lrenefits especially for those 2 first their years. serving If that promise can Ire met, that money would Ire in addition to the normal annual cost of living increase. A COST OF LIVING increase tailgating a civil service increase would merely keep the military in the same relative position, to the civil servants. The pay planners hope for even further pay raises. If the switch is not made to a salary system, the subsistence and quarters allowance may Ire increased as well. cr Close Out Prices All All -- PRICED TO SELL THIS WEEK!

Massive pay increases are necessary to attract new men into the service, Secretary of Defense Melvin R. Laird said last week. He gave no precise figures or time table, but his deincludes scription of the pay hike needed, undoubtedly basic 20 cent the than more pay hike he per something has ask for enlisted men with fewer than two years service to become effective next January. Congress has not yet acted on his request. THE PAY has to be high enough not only to attract men, Laird said, but you have to maintain a certain degree of selectivity. Laird, in a press conference statement compared military pay to police pay. He said New York policemen get $10, (XX) a year and compared that with the pay of a young airman who visited his office. The Secretary said once the airman pays his rent he has only $60 monthly left for other expenses.

Mcmlrcrs of the U.S. Army Materiel Command As we observe AMCs eighth anniversary on 1 August we may take justifiable pride in the solid record of achievement established liv all elements of the command in meeting the materiel requirements of our Army. National priorities have had and will continue to have sweeping impact on the Army Materiel Command. We have already gone through major reorganization of the headquarters, we are moving toward the establishment of a standard commodity command structure. We have instituted refinements in research, development, and procurement s under PROMAP-70- ; we have initiated broad sions n our supply and maintainence support policies; restrictions have reduced our resources while we have had n restrictions in our mission. The AMC of tomorrow will Ire vastly different from (he organization which was formed in 1962, and which has grown over the years in functions and services. Our task of meeting the complex materiel demands of the Army will require a level of determination and a flexibility of thought and action without precedent in logistics history. On this occasion I ask for continued renewal of the AMC 'Can Do spirit which has characterized The Arsenal of the Brave since its inception and I offer my personal appreciation for vour loyal sastained support and outstanding efforts as we meet the challenge of the future.
