Administration forces ID the
Senate moved swiftly today
TO save the eisil service re-
itirement bill from complete
swreckage.
Alarmed over the deadlock
and the possible political re-
actions from failure Of retire
ment legislation, Administra-
ton Senators, led by Senator
Lenroot of Wisconsin, today
reached a decision that some
temporary retirement measure
must be forced through before
Congress adjourns.
The program they have OUT
lined, with the support of Senator
Stanfield, is this:
The passage Of joint reso-
luton by the House and Sem
ate calling for a 40 per cent
horizontal increase in annuities
for all retired Government en-
ployes and for those who will
be retired before permanent
legislation is enacted.
The Bureau Of Efficiency now
is making estimates of the cost
: of such an increase to the Gov
eminent and will submit them
to congressional leaders early
next week.
It is also proposed that a
Joint commission on retirement,
to include representatives of the
House and Senate, the Bureau
of the Budget, the Civil Serv-
ice Commission, the Bureau Of
Efficiency and the various de-
partments, shall be created.
StanEield Confident
Confidence was expressed by Sen
ator Stanfield, chairman Of the Sen
ate conferecs, today that the House
and Senate would agree to the pass
age of the joint resolution. The
attitude OF the House leaders, how
ever, has not yet been made known.
It is expected that the House VIII
be governed largely by the wishes
of the Administration on this issue.
If the joint resolution should be
blocked in the Senate it is Senator
Lenroot's plan to submit q motion
In the Senate to discharge it's con-
ferees from further consideration OF
the bill and TO accept the House
bill.

to the pitching Of old Stan Coveles-

Sensational PITCHING OF WASHINGTON VETS EARLY Feature
Confidence of Manager
Harris Not Misplaced as
HurIerS Deliver.

BB United Press
NEW YORK, ApriN 15.-"They
may be old fellows. but they're
plenty good for me-" Bucky Harris
remarked in Tampa several weeks
ago about his Washington pitchers.
Harris was not backward in pre-
dieting that the Senators would win
another American League pennant
and he said that Walter Johnson,
Stanley Coveleskie, Dutch Ruether
and Joe Bush, would hurl the team
over the Philadelphia, New York
and St. Louis jumps.
The season is yet in it's infancy
and 152 games are a long stretch
ahead, but 1t seems already that the
confidence Of the youthful Washing
ton manager in his veterans has
been well placed.
1t doesn't mean too much for a
young pitcher to go out and pitch
great ball in football weather, but
it does mean a lot for veterans like
Johnson and Coveleskie to turn in
the games they have just delivered.
Facing the club that has been
picked by many critics as the cham
pion and a club that is certain to
be a most dangerous contender,
Johnson and Coveleskie gave the
Athletics one run in twenty-four in
nings and administered two sound
beatings.
Early pitching so far has been
rather surprising. Several loose
games have been played. but they
were the result Of bad weather more
