Keep Medical Care
For GI’s Dependents,
Texas Solon Asks
WASHINGTON, Nov. 23. (—
Rep. Kilday (D-Tex) told President
Truman Tuesday the elimination of
free medical service for dependents
of armed service personnel would
have a "devastating effect" on mi-
litary morale.
A. day, a member of the House
Armed Services Committee, wrote
the President to protest a proposal
for dropping the medical benefits.
His letter was approved by Chair-
man Vinson (D-Ga).
Vinson and Kilday also told re-
porters they intended to protest to
Secretary of Defense Johnson.
Budget Director Frank Pace, Jr.,
has suggested doing away with free
medical and cut-rate care because
of the pay increase recently given
to members of the armed forces.
He contended the pay raise pass
them in a better position to foot
the bill for medical care of their
ut
i families.
Kilday headed a subcommittee
that handled the pay legislation He
told Mr. Truman that at no time
did the subcommittee take the
position that the pay boost “would a.
be in lieu of medical care for
dependents." .
Kilday also commented that "it
is "exceedingly unlikely" that Con-
gress will extend the draft act next
year. This means, he said, that
the success of voluntary recruiting
for the Army, Navy and Air Force
will be at stake if the tree medical
services are eliminated.
