MAY HELP
RETIRED PAY
BILL

Hope for the amendment liberal!
izing retirement pay for Civil Serv.
ice employees was revived today when
1t was learned that the House Rules
Committee will meet tomorrow to
consider a special rule under which
it may j. voted upon.
Two retirement bills are on the
House calendar. They are the Lehl-
bach bill, which was reported by
the House Civil Service Committee
several months ago. and the Dale
BILL which was recently reported by
the committee, after it had passed
the Senate.
Representative Frederick r. Lehl.
bach of New Jersey, chairman OF
the Civil Service Committee. has
asked a special rule for the Dale
bill, He and his committee have
decided to abandon the Lehlbach
bill, believing that the only hope for
liberalizing the retirement law is to
accept the Senate measure.
