nothing in the way or noeraIizauon
TO those who will retire in the future.
After telling the President that he
intended to report his bill, Senator
Stanfield explained TO him that the
committee had agreed upon one ma jor
modification TO conform with the views
Of the President. He said the mini
mum age for optional retirement has
been made So years instead OF 80
years. This age, limit - provided Tor
railway mail clsr3<ss letter carriers
and mechanics.
The President !, Apparentiy was
pleased at this. THE matter of p grad
uated age limit for optional retirement
has been one of the principal points
of differences between the adniinistra-
ton and the Senate and House spon-
sors Of this legislation. The President
has insisted so years was far too low
for optional retirement.
Four Per Cent Deductions.
Senator Stsnfield explained that his
bill nroyides for per cent deductions
from salaries Of employees instead Of
2,s and 81 per cent, az ts now the
case. He pointed out to the Executive
that this increased deduction would
lessen the cost to the Federal Govern
n,ent. He explained also that IN ar

Stanfield after leaving the President q

PLANS TO GO AHEAD.
Senator Stanheld Informs President
Before Reporting BILL
BY ]. RUSSELL YOCNG.

irrespective of what President Cool.
idge may think of the ultimate cost to
the Government, Senate advocates Of
liberalizeA retirement law for Fed
eral employees are going ahead with
this legislation with an apparent de.
termination to obtain its enactment at
this session OF Congress.
This was learned following a confer.
ence at the White House today be-
tween the President and Senator
Stanheld Of Oregon, sponsor Of the
bill which has been approved by the
Senate civil service committee and
which he said would be reported 10
tho Senate this afternoon.
Senator Stanheld apprIsed the Pres
ioent OF this intention today. The SEN
ator said he and his associates advo.
eating this legislation fully appreciate
tho Presidents interest in the matter,
hut they can see no reason longer to
delay action. The President has not
received complete figures estimating
the cost to the Government IL the
Stanffeld bill IL enacted, and 1t IL un.
derstood he intimated to Senator Sta n.
field that he would Hike to see the
bill held up until he has had a chance
~ study tho complete estimate.
Estimate i'm Few Days.
Brig. Gen. Lord, director cf the
budget, who conferred with the Presi-
dent just before the Senator. said the
estimate will be completed by the
Treasury actuaries within the next
few days. He said, however. that
. figures already compiled show the
StanfelA bill will cost the Govern
mont approximately $24. .000, 900 yearly.
During his discussion of possible costs
with the President Senator Stanfieid
furnished precisely the same figure.
He informed the President that this
estimate was supplied by one of the
Government actuarles and could
therefore be looked upon as being re-
liable. The President, however. was
5nclined 10 wait upon the complete
figures.
The President endeavored to i'm
press upon the Senator that, while
he personally favors the principle Of
mare liberal annuities, he does mt
(. want to see too heavy a drain made
'ipen the Treasury.
During this conference various fea-
lures of the Stanf1eld bill were dis
cussed. Mr.. Coolidge asked Senator
Stanheld what he thought of the pro-
posal made two days ago by Secre-
tary of Interior Work, intended az a
compromise. which, with other
things. suggested a maximum an
nuity of $3.50 instead of ths $1,000
proposed by the Stanfieid bill.
The Senator replied without hesi.
taten that nelther he nor the nert
hers Of the Senate civil service con1-
mittee locked favorabiy upon the
proposal. 1t would fail as q. retire
