There are employed In the Govern

vantage to, the Government to provide
for the retirement OF those who have
given to the public service the best

In this sweeping language, Public
Printer Samuel B. Donnelly has entered
the lists for q retirement plan for
superannuated Government employees.
Mr.. Donnelley, In his annual report
to the president of the Senate. gives
his views Of the best means Of accom-
plishing this end in his office. In his
judgment, an annuity should be cstab-
lished for each empioye reaching the
retirement age, this annuity TO be based
upon length of service and the salary or
wage received while in active service.
Mr.. Donneliy clinchcs his argument
and lends force to his appeal with the
statement:
such a plan would result in saving
a large proportion Of the amount thai

Senate Expected to Take
Action Immediately
After Holidays.

With the House overwhelmingly in
favor of the prompt abrogation of the
Russian treaty, interest In the pass
port question was today shifted to the
Senate, where itais predicted resolu-
ton similar to the Sulzer resolution will
be adopted immediately after the
Christmas holidays. Both bodies are
aroused over SRussia's discrimination
against American Hebrews.
The House last night adopted the
Sulser resolution by q vote of 300 to /.
Congressman Malby Of New York was
the only member who voted against
abrogahon. and Mr.. Malby based this
action on his belief that the resolution
WAS too harshly worded. He said ne
favored the purport of the resolution.
but regarded its wording as unneces-
sarily und.gnifed.

resolution repites that "the Government

Congressman Mann. the minority
leader, and Congressman Olmsted,, an
other Republican, were inclined to
think that this language was unnec-
essarily plain and that 1t should be
toned down. The House. however. re-
fused to temper the language to the
effect that, Russia had merely mis-
construed" the treaty. and three hun
dred members fell into line when the
bill was put on final passage. g.2
Daring the debate in the House yes
terday, It was noticed as significant
that two members of Jewish faith pre-
sided for considerable portion Of the
time. Speaker Clark called to the
chair Congressman Goldfogle of New

abrogatfon Of The treaty. Later Con-
gressman Levy Of New, York presided.
