Senate Committee Will Get
Plan to Increase Power of
EIdridge Tomorrow.

The Senate District committee, at
its meeting tomorrow afternoon, Will
concentrate attention on the trafnc
bill passed by the House giving Di-
rector Eldridge more authority in the
suspension of operators permits and
also changing the time limit on the
issuance of permits.
The House bill would fix the fee
for a drivers permit at So and make
the permit good for three years. The

mittee, opposing this provision and
suggesting instead that permits be
issued for 81, good for five years.
Commissioner Fenning, Director
Eldridge and Superintendent Of Police
Hesse have been invited to be present
to explain the purposes of the legisla-
ton, and it is expected number OF
others interested in certain provi-
sions of the bill will be heard.
Under the present traffic act all OF
the more than 100000 operators per-
mits outstanding will expire this
month. but there is pending on the
Senate calendar a resolution to eX-
tend the time for renewing them for
year.
Senator Capper said last night he
would press for early passage of the
resolution by the Senate. The regular
traffic bill to be taken up tomorrow
is worded so as to give the author
tiles ample time to renew outstand-
ing permits. but Chairman Capper
plans to proceed with the special reso-
luton extending the time as pre-
caution in case the traffic bill Is not

RETIREMENT BILL
BACKERS HOPEFUL
LehIbach Says Measure Is
Awaiting Cost Report of
u. S. ACtuarieS.

Those who have been working for
the passage at the present session of
Congress of a liberalized civil service
retirement measure are optimistic that
the bill drafted by a subcommittee
several weeks ago will be favorably
reported by the House civil service
committee tomorrow. Several men,
bers of the committee have encouraged
this hope.
Representative Lehlbach, Repub-
lican, of New Jersey, chairman of the
committee, however, stated positively
last night that the bill will not be re-
ported tomorrow. He persists in the
statement. which he has repeated for
several months, that he will wait until
he has the actuaries' report on the
estimated cost of the liberaliZed re-
tirement provisions before making his
report to the House. Mr.. Lehlbach in
sists that it would be futile to come
into the House without some depend.
able figures as to the cost.
Experts Report Soon.
Mr.. Lehlbach says he has not yet
lost hope of getting the measure pass
ed. If the actuaries' report comes in
before the first of the month and ad-
journment is not rushed, he believes
there will be ample time to get 1t
passed, if the members of House and
Senate want it passed.
Similar opinion was expressed by
Senator Stanfield of Oregon, chairman
of the Senate civil service committee.
He said he expected to get the actu-
aries figures by Saturday and not
later than March 81. He calculated
there would still be time for getting
the measure passed.
There is no very strong indication
that the Republican leadership in the
House intends to allow this measure
to be considered in the House at this
session. Several days ago, when Rep
resentative Celler, Democrat, of New
York asked House Leader Tilson II
the tentative program included the
liberaliZed retirement measure, Mr..
Tilson replied that there was no such
measure awaiting action, no such
measure had been reported and he
had not been consulted about plans OF
the civil service committee to urge 1t
for passage. He declined to borrow
trouble before he came to it.
Fear Is Expressed.
There is a growing fear among sin
cere friends of the Government en-
ployes that the liberalized retirement
bill will not be acted upon at this ses-
sion of Congress.
Cost estimates and annuity figures
on this legislation will be ready for
submission to Congress by the end of
this month, according to a telegram
received by Secretary Work Of the
Interior Department yesterday from
Chairman George B. Buck of the
board of actuaries of the civil service
retirement and disability fund.
Secretary Work wrote letter yes
teriay to Chairman Buck in New
York requesting information as to
when the cost estimates and annuity
figures would be ready. s
