GEN. LORD AIDS
RE T|REMENT

The President today received cost
estimates on several Of the retire
ment proposals from Brig. Gen.
Herbert M. Lord. director Of the
Budget Bureau, together with the
budget directors recommendation
for new plan which is somewhat
different from all Of those now
under consideration. II the latter
is approved it viii go to Congress
at once. It is the last hope this
session.
Although the terms Of the Lord
proposal have not been divulged, 4
is understood that they are in the
nature OF a compromise between the
LehIbach- Stanfield bills and the re-
tirement proposal made by Secre-
tary Of Interior Hubert Work
While the Lehlbach bin would
cost the Government about ST.
100000 annually, and the Stanfield
measure would drain the Treasury
to the extent of about $24 900, 600
annually, General Lords proposal,
It is understood, would cost the
Government about SCI 900 900.
This is believed to come within
the Presidents ideas Of sound
finance.
No indications Of the age limits
or the annuities to be paid under
the Lord proposition have been
made. but it is believed that mis-
age limits are near those OF the
Lehlbach and Stanfield bills, and
his maximum annuity Is somewhere
between the $3.50 provided for In
the Work proposal and the $1,000
set in the Congressional bills.
The President has not yet had
chance to study his budget direc-
tors recommendation, but he 10
said to be ready to approve some
thing in the nature OF those recon-
mendatiOnS
