reach any decision.
The two plans which have received
most attention at the hearinEs-the
Lehlbach -Stautield and the CARRIER.
Harreld bills-both would raise the
ma ximum annuity from S72O to $1,000
a year.
The CARRIER Harreld bill. being sup.
ported by the Pension Bureau OF the
IRerior Department. would give low.
aried employees larger annuity
than the Lehlbac Oh bill but both bills
would increase the annuities all along
the line up to the proposed ma ximum
Of $1,000
Nearly all of the orRs nizations OF
employees are supporting the Lehlba Oh
Staufield bill and more than score
of members Of Congress have Endorsed
that plan before the committee.
The employees are opposed to the
provision Of the GarberHarreld bill
which would take away the privilege
employees now have of obtaining tow
year extensions of time II they are
still BILE to perform efficient service
when they reach retirement age.
Another point Of difference to be
given careful consideration by Con
gress is whether employees should be
allowed the option of retiring after
30 wears Of service regardless of
age or whether there should he n
minimum age that would have to
be attained before the 30-year option
could be exercised.
Groups OF postal employees from
ali over the country testified yester-
dav in support Of the Hudson bill
which would fix annuities on slid =
ing scale in proportion to the
amounts paid in by the employees
This plan liz designed to give greater
consid era ton to supervisory workers
who get more than $500 year
salary. In the Harreld bill
the ma ximum salary to be used in
computing annuities Is 81 900 and in
the I.ehlba CHI Stanfield bill the ma XII =
mum is 81, 800.

! 1t was the first time in hi. career
that Harmon had been knocked out.
He had q big lead on points IN the
first four rounds, but was over
wheIuied By the sudden onslaught
DE the champion, who had been
merely biding his time.
In the early rounds Harmon
had been stepping around the
champion, hooking him to the face

clever fO0tWOrk made the cllanl-

fly well out into center field. But
the real hijacking came in the
sixth, with Jacobson making Judge
his prey.
Two were gone when Judge lifted
what seemed a certain home run
into the right field corner. That
would have tied the score. How
Jake ever got out there, nobody
knows. But he did. He went right
out to the wall and as the ball was
about to fall beyond the screen Jake
threw his six-feet-four-inctes up
into the air and brought the ball
down in his glove in the hand. No
