BY J. EARLE MOSER

With the leave issue definitely
settled and unlikely to bob up
again as a major question for
some time to come, the question
of liberalized retirement looms as
one of the major benefits on
which Government employees will
hope for Congressional action.
There are at present a number
of retirement bills INTRODUCED in
Congress, and it is believd that
action on the. problem possibly
may be forthcoming during the
current session, despite the tradi-
ton that Federal clerks may ex-
pect but one enactment of major
legislation at any one session on
the Hill.
At present retirement age limits
are 81 for certain Railway Mail
and Navy Yard workers in hazard
Gus occupations, IS for Post Office
carriers and clerks, and mechanics
in general, and 10 for ordinary
clerical employees. After 80 years
of service, workers may retire at
their option two years before age
limits.
Want 30 Years
The Civil Service Commission
and one large group of organized
clerks is backing a movement to
switch the optional retirement age
to so after 80 years of work. A
group of organizations affiliated
to the American Federation of La
Dor favors no age limit, but re-
tirement whenever one chooses
after serving 80 years, or else would
have the age limits reduced to 55
So and 81 for the types of work
noted above.
Incidentally, the mo age limit"
idea is fairly definitely "out,
House Civil Service Chairman
Ramspeck having recently stated
that he is opposed to the idea be-
cause it would be burning the
candle at both ends" He also in
dicated strong opposition to the
proposal to grant pensions to
widows of civilian employees.
To date the cost to the Govern,
ment has been the principal draw
back to enactment of new retire,
ment legislation. Nobody, appar
emily, can agree on how much re
duction of age limits would cost
the Treasury. Employe leaders
can produce figures showing how
liberalization would net the Gov
ernment profit. but legislators
have yet to be convinced.

The New Deal is a departure from

tween monarchy and democracy.
All incumbents should be defeat

body. has sold out for reflections.
The majority in Congress has voted
the money of the people into the
hands of one man, the President,
and with that money the President
and his underlings, his FaFleys,
HoBkinses and TugWells, buy sup
port in districts and states for the
congressman. Everybody knows
this.
The majority in Congress-, both
houses, sold out representative gov

WHERE ARE WE HEADNGI
tManchester, N. H., Unionl

Manchester, N. H., Union)
Secretary Morgenthau's estimate
that the national deficit for the cur
rent fiscal year will be six billion
dollars, and that the national debt
will reach 81 billion by the end of
the next fiscal year, gives clear
picture Of where the Roosevelt Ad-
ministration is heading. But this
picture in itself is not as disquieting
as the complete indifference in Ad-
ministration circles to the need of
calling a halt in the prodigious rate
Of expenditure.
In the entire tax debate, not
word has been said about reducing
expenditures 50 as to bring the gov
ernment's books more nearly into
balance. What hope can we have
that the brakes will be applied, SO
long as the Administration holds to
its fatuous policy of spending its
way out Of the depression, and plac-
ing an impossible burden on future
taxpayers?

CANDIDATE ROOSEVELT
ACCEPTS

The Presidents theme of class
consciousness, class discrimination
and class struggle is a theme
strangely alien to a country where
freedom of opportunity has had no
parallel on this earth.
Four years ago, in the formative
dawn of the New Deal, Mr.. ROOse-
welt said: "My friends, may this be
the symbol of my intention to be
honest and to avoid all hypocrisy or
sham"
By this standard, how is the Pres
idents address at Franklin Field to
be measured? What is to be said
concerning his statement that, be-
fore the advent of the New Deal,
throughout the Nation opportunity
was limited by monopoly. Individual
initiative was crushed in the cOgs of
great machine. The field open for
free business was more and more
restricted? Is it the contention OF
Mr.. Roosevelt that the New Deals
restrictive NRA, the Socialistic Cuff
fey coal and iva laws and punitive
taxes encouraged individual 1nitla-
tive and helped to free" business?
After three years of the New Deal
Americas forgotten men are still
jobless. They are jobless because the
Roosevelt Administration, prating OF
Justice, equality, faith, hope and
charity. has deliberately taken it
upon itself to disrupt business, inn
pede industry and repeal the natur-
al law of supply and demand. 1t has
imposed tax laws which not only
burden large industries, but dis
courage the growth of small indus
tries, and the creation of new enter
prises. For the New Deals failure to
provide opportunity to make liv-

HE NEVER HAD TO WORK

Lowell, Mass, Courier-Citizen)
That highly practical business
man, Franklin d. Roosevelt, has a
brand new scheme for abolishing un-
employment. Il appears to involve
the simple and easy remedy of hav-
ing business expand" and thus hire
a lot of people in addition to those
1t hires now. To a man accustomed
to get another billion by just asking
for it, this no doubt appears to be
the easiest thing in the world. It
won't seem so easy to any one who
has to worry about meeting the pay
roll without the aid of what General
Hagood calls stage money" The
longer one watches the word Of F.
D. R., the more one speculates as to
what would have become of him If
he had ever had to work in a highly
world.
Milford chronicle., 1936-07-10
THE ACCEPTANCE SPEECH

The record Of New Deal policy
and the platform of the new Demo.
cratic Party. have all clearly indi-
Gated that the President seeks to
match the State against the existing
capitalist system in q struggle GER
tain to have the most profound and
( faI-reaching consequences. But on
/ Saturday night, a formal declaration
of war replaced what has heretofore
been only guerrilla fighting. There
will be no more breathing spell for
business if Mr.. Roosevelt is re-
elected.
Never before has a candidate for
this Office proclaimed himself a Man
of Destiny, as Mr.. Roosevelt did i'm
so many words on Saturday night.
Mr.. Roosevelt has now had well
over three years in which to demon
strate both the character and the
caliber of the government which he
can give the American people. By
and large he was justified in saying
at Philadelphia that I'VE have con-
quered fear" But unfortunately that
conquest is not necessarily perma-
nent.
In the development of a technique
of government capable of fulfilling
his generous aspirations. the Admin
istratiOn of President Roosevelt
stands condemned as one of appall-
ing incompetence.
With a record which is pitifully
weak, under the acid test of the re-
lation of achievement to expenditure. |
the President at Philadelphia took
the politically sagacious course. Tn
able to defend the record in the field |
already attempted, Mr.. Roosevelt |
substituted a fervid promise to wan
der with high knight errantry over
an ever-wider terrain.
It was a speech which opened all
the emotional outlets, which unlOOs-
I'd mob psychology and then stimu-
lated it with a master hand. Presi-
lent RoOsevelt's ringing assurance
70 the contrary notwithstanding, it
vas the sort of speech which paves
he way for Observation-Disclosures
Post.

tent and conscientious efforts of
private physicians and the State
Board of Health, since the inaugu-
ration of the diphtheria immuniza-
tiOn program in 1926. In the whole
of 1885 only so cases were reported
in the State, which was a 5Oq5 re-
duction from the lowest figure ever
before reported. State health author
tiles believe that 1886, according to
present indications, will show an
even lower record.
Scarlet fever, which had attained
serious proportions in 1886, de-
creased 5695-from 355 to 156 cases,
which is approximately normal tor

age of the past ten years.
WhOoping cough was one of the
two diseases to show an increase
during 1886 over 1885, with a jump
from IS to 287 cases, while measles
showed a serious increase, both 9s
to number of cases and deaths re-
sulting, with a rise from 2O6 to
1906. Each of these diseases are
cyclical in their incidence, and it is
believed that 1886 is the peak year
for each, and that 1887 will see de- |
cline.
Pneumonia dropped 322o, with a |
decrease from IS cases in 1885 to So |
in 1886. In January 1886, the State
Board of Health issued a warning to |
take care of common colds, to avoid
exposure, to keep ones physical

physician when subjected to what
may at first seem only "severe
