If the ZR-2 were to land In front
of the United States Capitol build

by the Washington Monument the tan
of the ship would be $50 feet higher
than the top of the Monupent The
top of the Woolworth tower would
extend only ninety-two feet above the
tail of the airship.
If the ZR-2 were placed in Times

most completely fill it; there would
be only few feeta to spare at each
end and the top of the ship would be

FEAR RUSH TO Jobs
ANNuTANTS
Retirement Conference to
Take Up This Possibility
of LehIbach Bill.

special subcommittee of the JOIN
conference on retirement Will meet 10
morrow afternoon to consider the eHec'
of Representative Lehlbach's bill for re-
instatement of retired government en-
ployes, the question of Increased annui'
ties and other problems. The first year
of the operation Of the retirement Law
will end August 81.
Once provision is made for reinstate-
ment, it is feared, scores of retired clerks
and others might take It into their heads
to ask for reinstatement. The trouble
indeed, would he let loose upon the
Civil Service Commission. upon which
such work would fall. it is held.
The desire on the part o. hundreds OF
the approximately $500 anrruitants for
increased annuitieS would be Leading
factor in the stampede back to the
service. it is believed since many OF the
retired employees are dissatisfied with
their pensions and are asking Tor more.
Post once Expected to Act.

dicated that it has plans for restor-
ing many ex-employes to the ranks

whether they were still efficient or
not.
1t is understood that Representa-
tive Lehibach has been advised in
some quarters against the pushing OF
his bill for reinstatement, and the
possible dangers pointed out to him.
1t is likely that the board OF ac-
tuaries recently appointed and organ
lied to survey the first year of the
operation of the retirement act may
consider this problem along with
general review of the needs for bet
stering the retirement act.
Concerned In Annuities.
, Particularly the joint conference on
retirement. headed by Robert Fl. AL
corn. is concerned in the matter OF
sannuities. This organization is try
sing to catch the official thought of
Srhe administration upon the matter
sand finding it somewhat hard to do,
pit is freely confessed.
There is believed to be no question
That many of the retired workers want
Increased pensions. In fact. the Re
.tired Employees Association is on
srecord as favoring certain mate
rial schedule of increases.
The joint conference. it is under
stood is somewhat hesitant as to
swhat demands to make in regard to
:increased annhities. although reCog-
snzing the justice of some increase.
fThe administrations economy pro-
gram is proving embarrassing in this
regard. nobody desiring to ask for in
freases when the officials want to
cut down.
