PASSING THE BUCK Spending approximately if 350,000 of the government's money monthly is the pleasant task assigned to the Disbursing Clerks of S-4 Division. The one annoying hitch, however, is that they must account for every cent they handle, a tedious job that involves a vast amount of paperwork. Aside from maintaining the pay record of each of the 3000 men aboard, computing his pay twice a month, and paying him the amount due on regular paydays, the division is also accountable for processing allotment checks, leave rations, longevity, and many other factors affecting pay and allowances, in- cluding receipt and payment of travel claims, Air Group per diem, and so forth. Additionally, Dis- bursingi is responsible for collections from all shipis service activities and holds exchange lines for foreign currency. Y ENS D.R. RUSCH S-4 Front Row: R. C. Hellestrae, 1. W.
