Bureau of Efficiency.
The computation Of the annual
cost to the Federal Government,
showing that the present appropria-
ton viii have to be more than
doubled. probably win have a de-
terrent effect in the fight to- OBJ
tain consideration for the bill at
the present session OF Congress.
Opposition Strong
The early estimates Of the cost OF
the liberalized retirement measure
were much below that Of the
actuaries. The original estimates
ranged from So, S55, 900 to So, S12 900.
The official board has tackled on at
least $4,000, 900 to these early cal
cu1ations and opposition IN the
House to- such an increase OF Fed
eral appropriation for retirement
purposes is strong.
The actuaries' report viii De
formally considered by the House
and Senate civil service committees
early next week. It is not likely
that the recommendation with re-
spect to the change in the optional
retirement age win be adopted by
them.
Pepper to Fight for Bin
A reassuring statement today
was issued by Senator Pepper re-
garding the prospect Of retirement
legislation. He said:
II am satisfied that the published
statements that the civil service re-
tirement bill is not to be pressed
at this session is without sufficient
foundation. have today conferred
with Senator Stanfield, who is in
charge OF the bill in the Senate, In
regard to the situation. He author
lied me to say that he has been
In constant contact with the repre-
sentatives of the executive depart
ments engaged in making the neces-
sary calculations. The assembling
Of the data is nearly completed. As
TAR at least as the Senate is con-
cerned, we propose to press for the
consideration and passage Of the
bill. We are hopeful that it's great
Importance and inherent merit will
overcome all executive objections.
Speaking for myself, / do not ex-
pect to relax my efforts for the
bill in the least"

bus speak briefly on his trip over
seas. Mr.. Mulligan stated that he
had been home scarcely two weeks
but had spent seven weeks travel
ing through as many countries in
Europe. The outstanding condition
in Europe today is the unemploy-
ment situation which is critical. He
spoke of the conditions in Buda-
pest, Hungary, particularly men,
tioning that $500 people had com
mltted suicide there last year due
principally to lack of work, adding
that the orphans of these people
could be found in the daily bread
line established TO keep the young
ones and mothers from starvation.
The true appreciation of this
country comes after seeing the de-
plorable conditions abroad and Mr..
Mulligan stated that he had
greater respect and appreciation
for America with all its beauty and
opportunity when compared with
Europe, with all its unemployment
and unsettled conditions. During
the course of his address Mr.. Null
lgan took occasion to criticise
those who do not exercise the right
TO vote. He urged all who have the
right to go TO the polls and exer-
else their perogative.

1t was evident almost from the start
today that many traders of wheat had

of spring wheat averaged POI. 900, 900
bushels compared with 2122.719.O00
beforehand were based largely on
opinions that the government figures
would not show the full increase in
wheat yield that threshing returns are
disclosing. On the other hand. Cana
dian government crop figures received
after the close were in line with trade
expectance here and in some quarters
were regarded as a complete Offset to
the bearish forecast from Washington.
Corn advanced to new high price
record for the season with hot, dry
weather southwest chiefly responsible
Besides bullish crop report was
rightly expected. Oats sympathized
with corn.
Provisions reflected weakness of
hog values.
