Editor, Times:
You have always championed
the cause Of the retired Govern.
ment employees in their efforts to
secure through Congress some
measure liberalizing the present
retirement law that will meet with
the approval and signature Of
the President. We were assured
that this would be done early
during the present session, but
now approximately five months
have elapsed and nothing has
been accomplished and with every
prospect Of adjournment with this
urgent matter left as unfinished
business"
Senator Dale has always pro-
feSSed himself a friend of the
retired employe, has openly ex-
pressed himself as interested and
anxious to help their cause. and
now that the opportunity is put
squarely before him, he objects
to certain amendments which
would make the bill of which he
is the author acceptable to the
President, and instead expresses
preference for his bill without
said amendments, which he knows
the President does not regard
with favor.
Why all this waste of time and
"higgling" over a matter which
will count for nothing In the
final result?
We ask you to take up. our
cause through your valuable pa
per, to the end that we may rise

the dials. There is no way OF

InaSmuch as broadcaSting is

man declared:
1--WE were forced to believe
that q. man who carried q gun
carried it for no good purpose.
The minister's explanation that
he was carrying the gun be-
cause he intended to commit
suicide did not convince u.s."
Wilson's attorneys had left town
Tor the day, believing a disagree,
ment was certain. So Judge Ed

verdict in the absence Of the trial

he had done. Elliott announced
that he would present the missive
to the church board and ask fol-
an investigation. Mrs. Wagner
said the pastor had pursued hel
with his offers of love.
In an argument over the letter
