RETIREMENT BILL
PLACED IN DOUBT
Senate Body Substitutes
New Measure for One
Passed by House.

The fate OF pending legislation to
provide a retirement system for en-
ployes at the Capitol has been placed
in doubt by the action of a Senate
committee in substituting an entirely
new plan for the one passed by the
House two months ago.
The House approved the Ramspeck-
Gibson bill, which would give legis-
lative employees the option of going
into the regular civil service retire
ment system or of remaining out, as
they desire. This system, applying to
all other Government workers. pro-
vides for a basic maximum annuity of
$500 a year from the Government, to
which Is added the amount Of annuity
that can be bought on an actuarial
basis by the employees contribution of
3l2 per cent Of his salary.
Neely Bill Substituted.
When the House bill reached the
Senate, it was referred to the Rules
Committee. which struck out all after
the enacting clause and substituted
the Neely bill, which provides for a
straight Government retirement allow
ance, without a contribution from the
employees. 1t would apply only to legis-
lative employees leaving the service
after IS or more years. If he had less
than 25 years of service, the retirement
annuity would amount to $50 for each
year of service With Is or more years
of service, the annuity would amount
to $40 for each year of service, up to
80 years.
When the substitute bill same up
on the unanimous consent calendar
recently, several Senators, including
Senator McKellar. Democrat Of Ten
nessee, asked that action be delayed.
Senator McKellar said he was in SYM
pathy with the purpose Of the legis-
lation, but was in doubt as to how 1t
would work out, and asked for time to
give it further study.
House Would Reject.
Even If the Senate should pass the
substitute pension plan reported by
the Rules Committee, it Is not likely
the House would accept it, and the
legislation probably would die in con-
ference.
The Senate, however also has on its
calendar awaiting consideration the
Gibson bill, which IS similar to the
Ramspeck plan already passed by the
House. If the Senate should pass the
Gibson measure, or incorporate its
provisions in the House bill, the legis-
lation would be completed and go to
the President for signature.

COMMITTEES WORKING ON
JOB INSURANCE STATUTE
Special Session Would Be Called
Only To Protect Interests of
Maryland, Nice Declares
ADVISED TO 'HOLD OFF"

Three state groups have now turned
their attention to the problem of
securing from the Federal govern
mert Maryland's payment Of the IN
employment insurance tax on pay
rolls.
Last Friday Attorney General Her
bert R. O'Conor appointed commit
tee of four to aid him in determining
what form the measure would take,
and will meet to thresh out prelimi-
nary problems concerning the legis-
lation.
Two more groups began work on
Monday. One of the new groups is
headed by ]. Milton Patterson, execu-
tive secretary of the Board of State
Aid and Charities. The other is an
unemployment insurance committee
headed by Simon E. Sobeloff and ap-
pointed by Governor Harry w. Nice
in 1884.
The announcement of the two COM
mittees in addition to the group
formed by Attorney General O'Conor,
was made known on Tuesday. "They
1.-THE committee) will all tie in togeth-
err" Governor Nice said. "There isn't
any conflict. Nobody is trying to be
the father of Social Security legisla-
ton"
Governor Nice also announced he
would call a special session of the
legislature to enact the law "if it is
developed that one is absolutely ne
cessary to protect the interests of
Maryland"
State Advised To Hold of
Senators Willard E. Tydings and
George Radcliffe said they believed
the coming Congress would make
Suitable amendments" to the Social
Security act to assure that Maryland,
which has not yet complied with all
provisions, would share benefits of the
Legislation.
This statement was made following
a conference with Social Security
officials, and pointed out that special
session of the legislature would be
unnecessary. A special session in
December would cost about $4,000.
Not to have the legislature conv enc
and pass a state Social Security law
might mean that the funds collected
for Social Security payments would
not be returned to Maryland in the
same proportion to which they were
returned to other states which have
passed suitable laws, it was stated.

HAGERSTOWN ELIMINATES
KITZMILLER SOCCERITES
Garrett County Champions Drop
FL Decision Friday Afternoon

After winning from Central High
of Homecoming 10 last week Kitzmil-
Ter High Schools soccer team, Gar
rett county champions, went down to
defeat at the hands of Hagerstown
2-1 at Kitzmiller last Friday after
noon in the Western Shore quarter
finals of the statewide tournament.
The points credited to the Washing
ton countians came on penalty goals
by Printz. The Hagerstown forward
made his first ne-pointer in the Sec
ond period and then sewed up the
game in the third stanza. Both shots
were given on "Hands" penalties.
Almost Tie Score
Kitzmiller got it's lone point in the
fourth session when Harris corner
kick was pushed through the uprights
by Tranum. Had three men touched
the ball Kitzmiller's goal would have
been good for two points and tied the
score.
The Garrett countians played their
best ball in the final period but the
defensive work of G. Crawford and
Barnhart stopped the local threats.
Several nice stops were also made by
Goalie Wilson of the Kitzmiller ag-
creation.
Those playing for Kitzmiller in
Guided Wilson, Strah, Orbin, Keller,
Barcase, Pratt, Brown, Kimble, Hart,
Melavic and Tranum, with Keller P.
Burton and Bell substituting. Joe

DEER SEASON WILL OPEN
TUESDAY FOR FIVE DAYS
Woods Will Be Full of Hunters;
One Buck Per Person is Limit

The woods will be full of the con-
ventional red danger signs, attached
to the backs of hunting packets and
hunting caps, next Tuesday morning,
and from that time until Saturday
evening, December 5, there won't be
many safe hideouts for the deer of
the county, and very little peace of
mind for the hunters.
During this five-day period it will
be lawful to kill male deer with
two or more points to one antler in
Garrett county. The bag limit is one
per season per person.
Every person killing deer is re-
quired to report said killing to the
State Game Warden within twenty
four hours, giving name, address,
hunters license number, and location
where deer was killed. Over a hun
dred reported last year, either direct
to the warden, or to Richard S.
Browning, district deputy, at Oak
land.
1t is unlawful to use any trap,
snare, net, derrick, pitfall, artificial
light, battery or other contrivance or
device for hunting or killing deer.
Aware of the large number of peo-
pie who scour the woods during the
open season on deer, a warning has
been issued for hunters to be ex-
tremely careful, and to be on the
alert at all times. More than 1,70O
hunting licenses have been issued
from the office of the clerk of the
Circuit court.
