New Allowances
Granted for Some
Alaska Servicemen
WASHINGTON, </P)— Defense
Department officials said Thurs
day that a new system for the
payment of food and quarters al
lowances in Alaska will have lit
tle or no effect on most of the
unmarried enlisted men and of
ficers assigned there.
The system will go into effect
March 1, and is based upon cost
of-living studies made by the mil
itary commands in the territory.
Finance officers said it was diffi
cult to compare the old schedules
with the new because the latter
is based upon a number of vari
able factors.
Under the current system an
enlisted man permanently as
signed to Alaska gets $3.75 daily
for food and $2 for quarters re
gardless of his rank and the num
ber of his dependents.
Men with Dependents
May Benefit —
The revised schedule will give
an enlisted man with dependents
$1.80 additional for food each day
if a government mess is available
and the man eats in it. If the
same man gets permission to eat
outside of the mess he will get
$3 daily as a food allowance while
in Alaska.
The same enlisted man under
the new system will get a quarters
allowance ranging from $4.15 to
$5.40, depending on his rank and
the number of his dependents.
This allowance will be payable
only if government quarters are
not available.
An enlisted man with depen
dents will get $2.65 regardless
of his rank or the size of his
family if he occupies available
government quarters.
Most Unmarried Men Unaffected
Army and defense officials said
that the great majority of unmar
ried enlisted men and many of
the junior officers in Alaska live
in service quarters and eat at
regular service messes. Such men
will thus be both rationed and
quartered by the government, as

3iJl Would Control
Sending Troops Abroad
WASHINGTON, (/P)—Any pres
ident sending American armed
forces into conflict abroad without
congressional authority would
face impeachment under legisla
tion proposed Thursday.
The only exception, under a
concurrent resolution drawn by
Rep. Berry (R-SD), would be in
cases where American lives were
in danger.
Berry told a reporter he hoped
for early approval because of
British Prime Minister Winston
Churchill’s suggestion in his ad
dress to Congress last week that
this country send “token forces”
to help protect the Suez Canal.
ALASKA DIVISION OF
SEATTLE CHAMBER MEETS
UNDER NEW CHAIRMAN
SEATTLE— The first meeting
of the Alaska Division of the Se
attle Chamber of Commerce was
held on Jan. 14 in Seattle with
guests from all over the terri
tory and the new chairman, Glenn
Carrington, presiding.
Among the many subjects dis
cussed was the importance of the
organization cooperating to the
fullest with the Alaska Visitors
Assn.; the Alaska Development
Board; and the importance of the
group taking an active part in
getting the federal government to
declare a tax moratorium on new
business in the territory.
Chairman Carrington also sta
ted at the meeting that guests
from Alaska were always wel
come at these meetings.
Four, miles high and beyond,
the earth’s loftiest permanent in
habitants are small black spiders
that eat each other to stay alive.
one spokesman put it, and will
not be involved in the complica
ted new system of establishing
allowances.
More Complicated for Officers—
The new allowance system is
even more complicated for offi
cers. The current schedule, which
expires March 1, gives officers
$3.75 daily for food while sta
tioned in Alaska. This allowance,
like those for quarters, is in addi
tion to benefits paid to officers in
the United States.
Under the new scheme officers
without dependents will get $2.05
daily for food. The new system
will give an officer with depen
dents $2.40 daily for food and a
quarters allowance ranging from
$5.50 to $8. Depending upon rank,
the officer without dependents
will draw a quarters allowance
ranging from $4.40 to $6.40.
