Mr. Pic. For what, sir?
Mr. Jenner. In the service at this time.
Mr. Pic. I was petty officer, second class, I guess my base pay was maybe $190, plus extras, quarters allowances, maybe total $300 a month.
Mr. Jenner. Was your wife still residing with your mother-in-law?
Mr. Pic. Yes, sir.
Mr. Jenner. And were you contributing to the support of that whole family unit?
Mr. Pic. Yes, sir.
Mr. Jenner. Mother-in-law, wife and child?
Mr. Pic. Yes, sir; I was paying the rent and buying the groceries. In fact, that year I claimed my mother-in-law as a dependent on my income tax, sir.
Mr. Jenner. By the way, you had claimed, did you, at some point in your service your mother as a dependent?
