PLAN To RETIRE
BEFORE So

The Civil Service Commission
is lending it's support to the
bills now before Congress pro-
viding for optional retirement of
Federal employees after 80 years
of service. The commission is
particularly interested in a plan
permitting retirement at an age
lower than 68 for clerical, pro-
fessional and scientific employees.
The commission points out that
amending the retirement act with
this proviso would be safe, be-
cause annuities are not yet large
enough to tempt those in health
and vigor lin any considerable
percentage" to relinquish their
salaries for the smaller annui-
ties.
It was explained today that
individuals differ so greatly in
stamina and alertness that such
a permiSSive provision would be
conducive to greater efficiency
in the service as we'll as merciful
to employees" An arbitrary re-
tirement age fits few of the in
dividuals to whom it applies, it
is contended.

SALARY CHECKS
BOLSTERPLE

When Federal employees appeal
to members of Congress for rene
dial legislation, one of the most
potent evidences of low pay is
to show the salary checks them
selves.
This was done this week, when
Baltimore substitute postal clerks,
headed by Joe Seidman, called
on the Maryland delegation, Post
office Department officials, Chair
man Mead of the House Postof-
flee Committee; Representative
Clyde Kelly of Pennsylvania. and
others.
They displayed pay checks to
show their earning average less
than $40 a week, and the officials
were impressed.
Substitute postal clerks here and
elsewhere are pressing for ia
vorable action on bills which
would guarantee a minimum num-
ber of hours for substitute en-
ployeS.

Z SPECIALISTS
BROUGHT HERE

Two specialists in educational
methods have joined the army Of
Federal employees here, adding
fresh evidence that Government
work is growing more alluring for
highly-trained persons.
Moss Beatrice Mcleod, former
State director of special educa-
ton in Wyoming, has become Spe-
cialiSt in the education of physi-
cally Handicapped children in the
Federal Office of Education.
Miss Alma M. Lindegren, for
the last three years instructor in
medieval history and modern Eu-
ropean history at State Teachers
College, Superior, Wis, has be-
come specialist in Western Eu-
ropean School Systems in the
Education Office,
Miss Mcleod formerly worked
with Handicapped children in the
department of child study,
Seattle, and the department of
psychology and educational re-
search, Los Angeles. Miss Linde-
gren was born in Vasa, Finland,
fought at Superior IA years, and
has been instructor at three col
leges, five years being at Wis
cOnSin.

by b. CONNOR
Buslsess Manager, Plant Quarantine
and Control Administration
"The basic policy of the de-
partmen: is to insure value re-
ceived % the taxpayers for
every dollar spent for Federal ac-
tivitieS."
This principle is set forth in a
recent annual report of the Sec
retary of Agriculture. At the
present, more than ever before,
is the objective ascendant in the
minds of legislators, administra-
tors and the general public, be-
cause in the face of severe strin
gency in Government finances.
the work must be conducted with
reduced funds during the current
fiscal year. and even with further
reduced funds during the forth
coming fiscal year.
An analysis of the expense dol
lar of most projects will show that
a large part goes for salaries and
wages, as follows: travel, 6.35
cents; Supplies. 5.73 cents: equip
ment, 3.56 cents; repairs, 2.70
cents; rents. 2.19 cents; miscel
laneous, 2.44 cents; salaries and
wages, 77.03 cents.

UNION IN NEW.
CAMPAIGN
Spirited Drive Under Way to
Increase Membership In
All Bureaus Here

Officers of the National Fed
Grafton of Federal Employees
and officials Of the District
Federation of Federal EN-
ployes Unions are cooperating
in a spirited organization cam
paign now being conducted
among Government workers in
Washington.
The aims of the campaign, it
is pointed out, are to increase
the membership of the Washing
ton local unions in all bureaus,
and also to stimulate interest in
the organization among the thou
sands already affiliated.
New Union Formed
Among the results are hundreds
of membership applications re-
ceived, the organization of a new
local union among District Public
Welfare employees, and a remark
able increase in every phase of
organization activity here.
The present campaign is linked
with the nationwide 100, 0,000-mem-
ber drive being conducted by the
National Federation of Federal
Employees, and the progress
achieved here reflects the success
being met in all parts of the
country.
Workers Are Aroused
Officials point out that the re-
suits of the campaign show Gov
ernment workers have become
thoroughly awakened to the fact
that their best interests can be
served only by presenting a united
front on the many pressing prob
lens confronting them.
Prizes of cups and banners will
go to the local unions establish
ing the best record over a period
of months. Spirited competition
is adding zest to the campaign.

VA JOR PARTIES CLASH ON BUREAU REORGANIZATION SCHEME
BIDS ARE RULED NECESSARY

Federal personnel who have
to do with buying supplies for
the Government are reminded
anew that one office or depart
ment is prohibited from buying
directly from another without
going through the routine OF ad-
vertising for bids and then deal
ing with the lowest bidder.
Thus the Department Of Labor
cannot buy trees or plants for
decoration of it's premises from
the Department of Agriculture
nurseries or greenhouses. The
State Department cannot buy for
one of its officials small boat
from the Navy Yard. The Bu-
reau of Reclamation of the In
terror Department cannot buy

RANSEYER PLAN
GIVES HOOVER
FREE HAND
Democrats Object to Granting
Chief Executive Powers
to Act in Matter

The tide of sentiment that is
sweeping Congress, bearin g
proposals for consolidation and
abolition of certain Federal de-
partments in order to reduce
the Government payroll, has
failed to reach high point of
favor in the minds of both Re-
publicans and Democrats, op-
ponents of the plan said today.
Although both parties agree
that there must be consolidation
to prevent duplication of services
and reduce expenditures, it was
said that their leaders cannot
agree on one plan that will prove
satisfactory.
Ramseyer Proposal
Conforming with other Repub-
lican proposals, Representative
William C. Ramseyer (R0 of Iowa
yesterday introduced a consolida-
ton measure advocating the ere.
alton of a Reorganization Board
to be headed by the President, act
ing as chairman. The board would
determine what bureaus, commits.
Sions, boards, and departments
might be abolished or consoli
dated.
Democrats, however, indicated
their diSapproval of this type of
legislation or any other that would
leave the power in the hands of
the Chief Executive.
Many of them recalled the Over
man act which, during the World
War, gave President Wilson power
to abolish. create, or consolidate
services of the Government, but
said it would not be wise to adopt
such legislation during peace time.
Would Die In Senate
Many advocates of unification
of the Army and Navy are report
ed to be taking advantage of the
consolidation plea to urge placing
the two defense services under one
head, but it is predicted that
should such legislation pass the
House the Senate will filibuster to
the finish to prevent its passage.

The United National Associa-

this week adopted resolutions
praising the character, unselfish-

WOULD PRESS
ANNUITY BILL

Although the National Associa-
ton of Retired Federal Employees
recognizes with many leaders OF
Congress hat this is not pro-
pitious time for pressing legisla-
tion requiring further appropria-
tions, the association has some
hope that steps will be taken
this session for granting an
nuities to widows or dependen
children of retired employees.
A bill, introduced by Repre-
sentative William I. Sirovich, but
calling for only three-fourths in
stead of the full annuity for
widows, is now before the Com
mittee on Expenditures.
