Mr. Paul will be labeled a "Sucker" and a "Nut," but you may assure him there are at least a few of us around to whom the ownership of a motheaten and well-worn uniform means more than a passkey to baby's food locker.
W T TUCKER Owosso, Mich.
Sirs:
Since there's going to be something of a national debt anyway, may I submit these counter proposals:
1) That the $75 or $100 I figure I have coming be applied instead to the purchase of the bathroom and household hardware holding up the completion of a new G.I. apartment dwelling I hope some day to move into.
2) Or that some provision be made to use the terminal leave pay as some sort of credit which may be used to pay National Life Insurance premiums.
3) Or, similarly, create a credit which could be used to pay income taxes. In any case, the money would go back into the national coffers.
LESLIE BIEBL Plainfield, N.J.
Sirs:
I offer this counter proposal:
Can the former officers return the pay they received for terminal leave not taken? . . .
