FURIHER ACTION TO 3E TAKEN ON THE 25-YEAR SETTLEMENT BILL:
A letter has been received from Sgt.Perry,R.S#,regard
ing the Bill for Retirement for Enlisted Men after 25 years service,
the measure which recently failed to pass Congress favorably# Sgt*
Perry states that he feels the bill failed because many men now in
service have double-time to their credit.Those who are staying in the
service after they should be retired make it harder to pass laws for
Retirement that will benefit future soldiers, who will not have the ad
vantage of counting double-time* In short,double-tine is the main ob
stacle to the passage of the 25-Year Retirement Bill*
Although the Bill,as lately presented to Congress,has
been defeated,a new proposition will be drawn up at a conference to be
held about March 4th,and it is confidently hoped that a new measure,
satisfactory to all, framed along the lines of the "graded Furlough to
the Reserve",as now had by the Navy,will be found acceptable for fav
orable action by Congress*
IT’S A HARD LIKE:
”• '7eep,-and you’re called a baby,
Laugh-and you're called a fool;
Yield,-and you're called a coward,
Stand,-and you're called a mule?
•Smile,-and you're called a sillyf
Prown, -and they call yfiu a gruff;
Put on a front like a millfcnaire
And some guy calls ycur bluff*"
