There is no "raise" involved in the current TWA controversy. It concerns only the establishment of a pay scale for Constellations and DC-45, which have been flown only recently commercially.

President Truman's proposed slash of the Army and Navy allotment by almost one-half has been criticized by Senator Taft, whose suggested 1947 budget cuts the Truman expenditures...
