Austin, Tex., Sept. 21. (UP)
—State officials who are mem-
bers of the national guard to-
day had a rosy project of
double pay daring the year's
military training — provided
they can carry on thair Mate
duties while in training.
A ruling by Attorney Gener-
al Gerald C. Mann made in the
case of a state engineer called
out for the three weeks train-
ing period last summer was
cited as authority for the dou-
ble-pay status. )
At that time it was ruled
that an employe of the state
who was called out for mili-
tary training for a length of
time in excess at the two
weeks’ state vacation period,
might be paid after the two
weeks if he continued to per
tome his state duties.
The ruling was made in ad-
vising Dr. George Cox, state
health officer, that double pay
might be authorised for Capt.
Chester Cohen, a sanitation en-
gineer, who carried on his
work at night.
Actual performance of the
state duties is made the teat.
