REPORT BILL ON
RETIREMENT

Retirement legislation leaders are
swinging into action again today
after a lay-off of about a week.
Senator Robert N. Stanfield, of
Oregon, sponsor of the liberaliza-
-tion movement in the Senate, called
on President Coolidge today.
The new Stanfield bill, carrying
maximum annuity of 1920 and
with age limits of So years for OPP
tionaI and IS years for compulsory
retirement was formally reported to
the Senate today.
A united effort will be made to
force the consideration Of the re-
tirement legislation in the Senate
at an early date, but Adninistra-
ton opposition either will be effec.
tive in blocking the bill or, in
modifying it, according to the
present outlook.
General Herbert NJ. Lord, direc-
tor of the Budget Bureau. also
called to talk over with the Presi-
dent the cost angle of the various
retirement proposals. He told the
President he has received the cost
report from the Board Of Actuaries
on the Lehlbach retirement meas
ure and will be ready to transmit
mendations in few days.
$4,000, 900 Estimated Cost
General Lord also told the Presi-
dent he is seeking the cost figures
on several additional retirement
proposals. including the one sub
mitted to the Civil Service Com
mittee Wednesday by Secretary
Of the Interior Hubert Work.
Although General Lord would not
divuIge the exact total of the cost
learned that the actuarties figure
the measure would cost about ST.
10000 annually.
No report has been submitted
by the board of actuaries on the
Stanfield measure, but the estf.
mated total of $24 200 900 has been
reached by actuaries in the Trea-
sury Department.
over the chances for his bill in the
Senate He points out that it is
similar to the bill passed without
any great opposition by the last
session and expects to find the
same favorable sentiment at this
time.
He is also hopeful that President
Coolidge will find it possible to con-
sent to this bill in spite OF the
fact that it does not meet the
Presidents own figures in any of
its major points.
The retirement bill proposed by
Secretary Work, Senator Stanfield
told the President. will not meet
with favor in his committee. The
Work bill Is known to more nearly
meet with tn Presidents approval
than any other measure so far sug-
gested.

Meanwhile the Legion is canvass
ing businessmen, taking orders for
a flag which the commission has
not been approved, Norman b. Ian
dreau, chairman of the Legion .
committee admitted today.
The Legion, cooperating with the
Veterans of Foreign Wars, sug-
gested the plan to the District Com
rnissjoners couple of months ago.
The Commissioners referred 1t to
the Fine Arts Commission.
After a practical demonstration
on r Street Northwest, the Conn
mission told the Legion the flags
should be larger, and the staffs
more substantial. The Legion's
flag is 8 by feet in dimension,
supported on a 12-foot metal pole.
The Legion was aggravated and
appealed to the District Commits.

AUTO|STS TELL
WHATS WRONG

Suggestions from citizens Of the
District on how to reduce the num-
Der of regulations are beginning
to pour into the office Of Traffic
Director NJ. O. Eldridge.
The following recommendations
are included in the letters received
so far:
Discontinue the operation Of the
Sixteenth Street traffic lights ex-
cept during rush hours.
Reduction OF the speed limit to
IS miles an hour.
Cut out parking light regulations
where streets are brilliantly lighted.
Cut Restricted Area
Decrease the size of the restricted
area.
Abolish parking restrictions on Fl
Street between Fourteenth and
Fifteenth Streets Northwest.
Eliminate all left hand turns.
Create parking zones and abolish
parking in all other areas.
Revoke permits after a certain
number of violations of the parking
regulations

ridge, Col /. G. Moller, his assist
ant. pointed out flaws in the sug-
geStions.
Defects Pointed Out
Allowing motorists to park with
out lights would result in damage
suits against the District after col
lisions, discontinuance Of the signal
lights would confuse the motorisr
and the all-day parker would still
use all spaces available even II
the congested area was reduced Ill
size. he pointed out.
In the opinion of one writer
pedestrians should not be allowed
to wear black clothes after dark
while another declared that the atti-
tude Of some crossing policemen in
dicated that enforcement of the
regulations consisted, with them, in
soaring motorists after they had
been stopped.
While Major Edwin B. Hesse
waits for El1ridge to return from
his trip to Harrisburg and Phila-
delphia, he remained noncommittal.
He limited. however. that regulations
should not be written SO much with
the idea of changing conditions but
that the laws should be drafted to
meet existing conditions.
