One of the most important decisions reached by

the Salaries Commission (which sat under the GREEK ARMY
chairmansalp of the Hon. D. J.

The only (and major) exception conceded is the temporary High Cost of Living Allowance. Apart from this, the Commis.

To date, a total of $144,- 000,000 has been earmarked for the Army but the new 'announcement was likely
