CONFEREES IN DEADLOCK
AS TO RETIREMENT AGE

At the first meeting of the con-
ferees for the House and Senate today
on the civil service retirement bill. no
agreement was reached on the differ
ences between the two houses regard
ing the age of retirement.
The Senate conferees, contrary to
expectations did not suggest a COM
promise between the seventy years
as passed by the Senate and sixty-five
years as passed by the House. 1t Is
understood that the Senate is ready
to compromise on sixty-efght years,
but no such suggestion developed at
the meeting today.
The conferees will meet again this
afternoon. Chairman Lehlbach of the
House committee, however, Is deter
mined in his opposition to compro-
mise. saying that he will insist upon
putting the retirement age at sixty
five years. He said this is in the in
terests Of the federal government which
will get more efficient work II 1t Is
possible to retire inefficient employees
at the age Of sixty-f1ve and replace
them with young blood.
