POLITICS
IN BIG FORD SUIT
Senator Reed and Sapiro
Have Sharp Tilt on
LoWden's Record.
BY the Associated Press.


DETROIT, April 6.-Senator James
A, Reed OF Missouri, chief of Henry
Ford's defense counsel and mentioned
in many quarters as an outstanding
possibility for the Democratic presi-
dental nomination, exchanged angry
words today with Aaron Sapiro over
the status of Frank o. Lowden, former
Governor OF Illinois, regarded by some
as Republican party presidential
nominee timber
Senator Reed was seeking to gain
from Sapiro under cross examination
in his 81 600 900 libel suit against the
automobile manufacturer, a history Of
the national cooperative organiza-
tions he had represented.
He hit upon the National Wheat
Growers Advisory Committee. formed
at meeting called in Chicago in
September, 1923, by Judge Robert w.
Bingham, publisher Of the Louisville
Courier-Journal and the Louisville
Times.
In the list of those who attended
was Mr. Lowden, who became chair
man of the committee.
Reed ran hurriedly down the long
list of members with the question:
He wasn't a wheat grower, was he?"
Hats at Lowden's Name.
At MIR. Lowden's name he halted.
'He wasn't a wheat grower, was
he?" Reed demanded
"Oh, don't know" replied Sapiro.
''He may grow wheat. He certainly
grows some grain"
HE is capitalist, isn't he?" shot
back Reed.
No replied Sapiro.
And been governor Of Illinois?"
"No. He Is not a capitalist heat
edly replied Sapiro. "He is a splendid
lawyer and a very fine farmer, prob
ably the largest farmer in some
respects In the entire United States"
''Does he make his living farming or
Is he the son-in-law Of Pullman OF the
Pullman Car Co. % demanded Reed
with tone of sarcasm i'll his voice.
II don't think he makes his living
as the son-in-law OF Pullman" re-
sponded Sapiro. ''He makes his liv-
ing by his work as a lawyer and by
his work as a farmer"

RETIREMENT PLAN
OF HUDSON BACKED
Federal Club Gives Support
to Resolution Amending
AnnuitieS Law.
RY Will 7. KENNEDY:

Support Of the Hudson resolution,
which the incoming Congress is eX-
pected to pass. creating joint com
mission to investigate the operation
Of the retirement law, was given last
night at the meeting of the Federal
Club in the University Club. This
series of articles in The Star as an
open forum. for consideration of all
suggestions as to how the retirement
service may be improved SO as TO
do the fullest possible measure of
carefully balanced justice to all Gov
ernment employees, intended TO be an
aid to the joint committee, also was
approved heartily.
The Federal Club is composed Of
some $50 men in the Federal service
who are chiefs of bureaus or divi-
sons, and technical experts in various
lines. devoted to an exchange of ideas
and for Improvement of the public
service. which also is trying TO get
better appreciation of what the
public service is. DIR. George T. Bow
erman, librarian of the Public Library,
is now president of the club
Evening star., 1927-04-06

The report by the retirement com
mittee Of the Federal Club last night
stated that the departments 90 not
appear TO be subject to undue pres
sure 10. secure continuance beyond the
retirement age. In one larg- depart
ment there was formerly considerable
trouble under the old act, but the
amendment providing for continuance
as of course, if the mans efficiency
was satisfactory, has, ii is said, ended
the trouble entirely.
The amendment to the act places
the matter within the control Of the
department If the department hnds
man efficient, he must be continued.
If it finds him inefficient, outside rec
ommenda tions avail nothing. 1t was
learned informally from two other de-
partments that there has been little
outside influence brought to bear in
the attempt TO secure retention of EN-
ployes beyond the retirement age
The basing of retention in every case
upon efficiency and ratings of the de-
partnent appears effectually TO re-
move continuances from the liability
of outside pressure.
Since the meeting OF the Federal
Club four years ago the retirement
committee reported, the maximum
annuity has been increased TO 81 900
per annum, and the committee stated
Evening star., 1927-04-06
Penalties for Mistakes.

An employe who is allowed to serve
beyond retirement age by reason of a
mistake in the date of his birth, or by
an omission of his official supervisors,
without certificate previously request
ed and obtained is held by the control,
ler general to be merely a de facto en-
pIoye Any salary due him at the time
OF discovery of such condition cannot
be paid He must be dropped at once.
He cannot be employed again. Time
served by him beyond retirement age
cannot be counted as basis for an
nuity.
If he dies his widow cannot recover
that part of his salary deducted for
the retirement fund since he reached
retirement. age which would other
wise belong to her. THE law as thus
construed is inelastic and unjust,
the retirement committee finds. 1t
Furnishes innocent employees for Off
cial errors or inadvertence in its ad-
ministration This should be corrected
by administrative action"
