Following the report today of the
theft of nearly $500 worth of radio
apparatus-the second radio haul

CONGRESS.

DATA
Committee Told of Employees
Needs by John S. Beach.
Room Crowded.

Liberalization of the civil serv-
ice retirement act was urged
upon the Joint Congressional
Civil Service Committee today by
John S. Beach, chief Of the retire
ment division of the Bureau OF
Pensions.
Hundreds Of Federal workers
packed the committee room when
the first hearing upon new retire
ment legislation was held. SEN
ator Stanfield, chairman Of the
Senate Civil Service Committee,
presided. The following impor-
tant changes in the present law
were urged by Mr.. Beach:
High Lights in Plan.
Retirement after sixty years of
age, contingent upon the employe
having rendered at least thirty years
of service, such retirement being at
the option of the employee or upon
the order of the head of the depart
ment or Independent establishment
concerned. Retention in the service
beyond the age of eligibility for re-
tirement to be effected by mutual
agreement between. the employee and
the head of the department.
After July 1, 1925, all employees
after reaching tha age of seventy
years shall be automatically retired,
excepting those who may have rem
dered less than fifteen years of serv-
ice
= The grouping of employees under
the provisions of the present law in
respect to the age of eligibility for
retirement, that is at Sixty-two,
sixty-five and seventy years, is to
be abolished, and all employees placed
on an equal footing and accorded tho
same privileges in the matter of ELI
gibility for retirement.
Rates of Compensation.
A new method Of computing an
nuity is provided as follows:
The factor, $12, is to be used in
every case, to which will be added
l per cent of the average compensa-
ton received by the employee during
the last ten years of service, and the
resultant total multiplied by the
number OF. years of service will con-
stitute the annual rate of retirement
pay, subject to the provision that in
no case shall the annuity exceed IS
per cent of the average compensa-
ton during the last ten years of
service.
For the purpose of determining
the aggregate service of the en-
ploye,. credit will be given in the
sum total for every year and every
month of service.
Would Include Postmasters.
This method will overcome the
Objectionable features of the present
law under which annuities are de-
termined by an arbitrary division of
service into three,year periods with
a maximum limitation of thirty
years.
The bill also provides that it's bene-
fits shall be extended to those who
have already been retired.
Harry T. Weeks, postma ster at
Patchogue, N. Y, appeared before
the committee to urge that post
masters promoted from the civil
service be included in the retire
ment benefits.

THRIFT I WEEK IS
To OPEN At
KE|TH'S
Mass Meeting at Theater to
Follow Exercises Held at
Franklin Statue.

Thrift Week will be opened Of.
ficially by a mass meeting at which
Postmaster General New will
speak, at Keith's Theater Thurs
day noon.
Exercises appropriate to the
occasion will be held previously at
the statue of Benjamin Franklin,
at Pennsylvania avenue and Tenth
street, where wreaths will be lard.
The meeting at Keith's Theater
will be addressed also by John
Clyde Oswald, authority on the
life of Franklin.
The Thrift Week campaign was
heartily endorsed yesterday by
Secretary of the Treasury Mellon
In a letter for publication. A
similar letter from President
Coolidge was published last week.
In his letter Secretary Mellon
declared that the annual observ-
ance of Thrift Week throuhout the
country serves very definite pur-
pose, 1T is a time when the in
dividual can check up On himself
and get his house in order for the
ensuing year." he stated.
THE importance of thrift and
saving cannot be over-emphasized.
Much has already been said on the
subject, but l feel that the
prosperity of the future depends
largely upon our ability to learn
the advantages of saving. Nations
are what their people make them.
Governments are successful &C.
cording to the wisdom and under
standing of the men who are
selected to conduct their affairs.
If the men in power are wasteful,
extravagant, and incompetent, the
governments they manage are
failures. Nations and governments
having behind them a thrifty and
intelligent people will be successful.
No nation and no people can be
successful if they ignore the
common sense methods Of manag.
Ing their business which require
them not only to live within their
incomes but to save something, be
