                Mr. Monroe WayneJr.

DIGEST:    Claim for proceeds of class E allotment checks
           never received by member's mother during his
           active service in the United States Army is
           denied pursuant to paragraph 10.1 title 4 of
           the General Accounting Office Policy and Pro-
           cedures Manual for Guidance of Federal Agencies,
           since allotment rolls were destroyed by Finance
           and Accounting Center, United States Army, in
           accordance with law and available information
           is insufficient to establish the liability of
           the United States and the member's right to
           payment.

 his claim for reimbursement for class E allotmnent checks which
 he contends he authorized but were never received by the proper
 recipient, his mother.

      The file indicates that Mr. Wayne enlisted in the United
 States Army on August 2, 1952, and later authorized separate
 class E allotments for both his mother and his father. In 1973
 he filed claim with the United States Army Finance Support
 Agency (now the United States Army Finance and Accounting Center)
 for reimbursement of amounts deducted from his pay during this
 period, contending that while his father did receive certain-
 checks issued in his name, none were ever received by his mother
 during the period July 1954 - March 1955.

      In response to that claim, an attempt was made by the
 Claims Branch of the Finance and Accounting Center to locate sub-

 file indicates that books in the voucher library of the Center
 vent back only to January 1965. Additionally, the file indicates
 that bond and allotment ledgers prior to October 1963 had been
