The policemen. with their 8-hour

BETHESDA, Md, December 25.-
The offer of the Maryland Road Com
mission to widen and improve Old
Georgetown road if the necessary right
of way can be secured met with en-
thusiastic response here today from
civic leaders.
The offer, which followed q personal
inspection tour by Nathan L. Smith,
chief engineer for the commission, yes
terday was hailed as good news" by
Lendell A. Conner, president Of the
Old Georgeown Road Citizens Asso-
citation, and John A. Dickinson, presi-
dent of the Bethesda Fire Board.
II am glad to hear that the Road
Commission has come through with
an offer to widen the road. which is
hazardous and badly in need of mod
ernization," Conner declared.
Group to Cooperate.
"Our organization will cooperate
fully with the Steering Committee to
secure whatever rights of way are
needed in order that the road can be
made safe.
Il have noticed that a road crew
is already busy repairing the edges
of the road, filling i'll the shoulders
level with the paved surface. 1t shows
the commission means business
The offer to widen the road will
mean a great deal to the Fire Depart
ment, Dickinson said, explaining that
widening will eliminate much of the
danger which always accompanies runs
the engines make because of the neces-
sity for speed. He said:
Engineers Offer.
II am glad to hear that the COM
mission will fix up the road and will
do everything possible to aid the
Steering Committee to obtain the
rights Of way. It's the best news resi-
dents along the road have heard for
long time"
Smiths offer was to grade 10-foot
shoulder on both sides Of the 20-foot
paved surface and to flank the shoul-
ders with bitches graded to drain OH
the water so gradually that they would
not provide an additional hazard.
The improvement would require q
right of way Of 60 feet wide, Smith
said, and make necessary removal or
setting back of several trees and poles
where they are too close to the paved
surface.
Widening would eliminate most of
the danger Of collisions by affording
motorists a longer range Of vision, he
pointed out.
Seek Rights Of Way.
Securing the rights of way Is ex-
pected to be the first topic Of discus
sion at a meeting of the Steering Com
mittee which is being organized at
the call of william Buckley, Chairman
of a Special Roads Committee of the
Bethesda Chamber of Commerce.
Buckley Is chairman Of a delegation
of five members of the chamber and
will meet early next month with
similar delegations from other civic
groups, the Old Georgetown Road
Citizens Association, the Bethesda
Elementary School Parent Teacher
Association and the Bethesda Fire
Board.
Representatives of the American
Automobile Association, which was re-
sponsible for bringing Smith here to
inspect the road and get firSt-hand
information on the need for improve
ments, and the Keystone Motor Club
which has conducted survey showing
the congestion on the narrow road, will
also be represented on the Steering
Committee.

Retirement Plan for Those
Outside Present Systems
to Be Considered.
McCARRAN SUPPORTS
MOVE TO AMEND ACT
Employees of Temporary Emer-
gency Agencies Are Among
Those Affected.
BY J. A. O'LEARY.

WIN leSlSlaClOQ TO llDerallZe Lne CIVIL
service retirement law due to come up
at the approaching session, it devel-
oped yesterday that Congress also will
be likely to consider what provision
should be made for large group Of
non-civil service workers in Federal
establishments who are not covered
either by the Government retirement
system or the social security law.
In drafting the social security law
to provide old-age pensions for workers
in private industry Government EN-
ployes, who have had a retirement
system for a number of years, were
exempt from the general plan. 1t was
found recently, however, that there are
many non-civil service workers here
and throughout the country who do
not come under either rlan.
McCarran Urges Action.
Senator McCarran, Democrat, Of
Nevada, said yesterday some steps
should be taken to provide for these
non-civil service workers, from the
standpoint of retirement, under one
law or the other. They include not
only those in temporary emergency
agencies, but also a substantial number
of non-civil service positions under the
regular departments throughout the
country. Under the civil service retire.
ment law, If an employe leaves the
Government service before reaching re-
tirement age, he gets back the money
he put into the fund.
The Nevada Senator said he under
stood need has arisen for a number OF
perfecting amendments to the social
security law since the original measure
was enacted, and that the status of
non-civil service workers in the Gov
ernment could be considered along
with the other changes.
Chairman Harrison of the Senate
Finance Committee, which handled
the social security program, is not
ready to comment at this time on
what should be done regarding these
non-civil service employees who are
excluded from both retirement sys-
tens, but indicated he would have no
objection to consideration Of the ques-
ton during the coming session. =.
Change to Be Discussed.
The most important change in the
civil service retirement law to be
brought up will be a revival of the
proposal to allow optional retirement
after 30 years of service at earlier age
limits than Is now permitted. At
present the age limits for automatic
retirement from the Government are
81, IS and 10, depending on the class
of work performed, and employees are
allowed the option of retiring volun-
tarily two years earlier than the auto
matte age limits for their respective
groups.
At the last session consideration was
given in committee to lowering the age
limits for optional retirement for those
having 80 years of service, but no
final agreement was reached.
The joint conference on retirement
| Of civil service employees is expected
to work during the coming session for
more liberal optional feature, for
extension of the retirement law to
groups not now covered, and for
changes in the disability features of
the Government retirement system.
Robert H. Alcorn Is chairman of the
joint conference.
