The rjight nurse in the Alaska Rail
road, hospital at Anchorage is one of
the few employes of Uncle Sam who
gets a restoration of salary this year,
even though it is mainly theoretical.
She was formerly paid 2160 a month, j
>$10 tmore than the scale for day
nurses, but under the first economy
•act this was cut to $155. The Alaska
Railroad wanted to put her salary
back to $160, and Comptroller General |

cent cut from her basic pay of $160 a
month, which brings the actual pay
down to $136.
