RETIREMENT BILLS
CHANCES DIMINISH
Little Hope for Senate Plan,
and Session May End With
No Legislation.

There will be no further action in
conference between the Senate and
House on the so-called liberalized
civil service retirement measure be-
fore next Wednesday, and unless
some agreement is reached in con-
ference between Wednesday and Sat
urday of next week chances will con-
sequently diminish of any retirement
legislation being passed at this ses-
sion.
The report coming from the con-
ference yesterday that the vote was
to in favor of the Senate bill,
which carries a maximum annuity of
$1,000, means little toward solution
of the deadlock, Chairman Lehlbach
of the House civil service committee
explained today. Representative Gel
Ter, Democrat, of New York, voted
with the Senate conferees,. but his
vote has no weight in an eventual
solution of the problem. The Repub-
lican conferees on behalf of the
House must be satisfied before final
action is taken. and they are
pledged to accept nothing beyond the
Senate agreement to the bill as it
passed the House, which is the
Budget Bureau plan for a 81 900 maxi
imum annuity.
No Agreement Made.
1t was authoritatively stated today
that there fs no agreement, either posi-
tive or tentative, regarding the even
tual action in the conference between
the Senate and House.
Friends of the Government employees
have been considerably encouraged by
q persistent suggestion that the re.
tirement bill may be brought back into
the House for another vote independ.
ent Of conference report. Chairman
Lehlbach stated emphatically today
that it is absolutely impossible for
such a vote to be had in the House.
Whatever action the House may take
will be only upon report by the con.
ferees. Unless the conferees reach
some decision before the end of next
week there is scant chance that the
retirement bill will be acted upon at
all at this session.
Denies Disagreement Plan.
Mr.. Lehlbach denied emphatically
the truth in certain published articles
to the effect that he might be jockey
ed into a position where he would re-
port a disagreement on the measure
by the conferes when any one in the
House might offer a motion to re-
ceive and concur in the Senate amend
ment. Mr.. Lehlbach stated positively
that the only opportunity the House
will have to vote will be on an affim-
ative conference report

eating placing it in Judiciary Square

ences between the Fine Arts Commits

BILLY MCCARTNEY

Billy Mccartney is passing again
From the bridge thru the misty rain
With his cart of papers and mail from the train,
Billy Mccartney is not so spry
As he used to be in the days gone by,
When his youth in prime and his strength
surged high.
But the bridge and thru the town
His shuffling feet go up and down,
Thru heat and cold and and rain,
And over the bridge to the trains again,
Billy MeCmtney's fifty-one years
Have brought him Joy and brought him tears;
And that affliction slows his feet,
The rowdies ieer him along the street.
Rowdies who dump his cart in the road,
And laugh to him gather his load
Ribald rowdes with haunting sneers
TO his anger flame to tears.
Billy Mccartney may be lame,
But Billy Mccartney plays the game;
Billy Mccartney may be Slow
But he teaches a lesson we should know!
Gee See.

Yes, and yet the trustees of the fund claim they

amount.
