ANOTHER ASKS
LIBERALIzED
RETIREMENT
Both to Be Introduced
At Once, But Passage
Faces Delay

Minimum pay for all full-tims
adult Federal employees would be
raised to $1,000 a year under the
terms of a bill to be introduced
in the House today by Repre-
sentative Robert Ramspeck CD
of Georgia, chairman of the House
Civil Service Committee, who says
the bill has the approval of the
President.
Ramspect also will introduce Q
bill liberalizing the retirement
law which was brought to the
Capitol by the Civil Service Com
mission and which is said to have
the permissive approval Of the
Administration.
Slim Chance for Pay Bill
There is slim hope that the
salary bill, which affects 10000
Government employees, may pass
at this session, and the retirement
bill will not be taken up until
next session.
Civil Service Commissioner
Harry B. Mitchell and Mrs. Lucille
Foster McMillin brought the lat
ter bill to the office Of Senator
William J. Bulow CD of South
Dakota. chairman Of the Senate
Civil Service Committee, late yes.
terday. Ramsspeck attended the
conference.
While RamSpeck promised to
introduce the bill, Senator Bulow
said he would delay introduction
until he had opportunity to study
its details.
The bill provides for setting the
mandatory age for retirement in
all classes at 10. Now there are
three clases, 50 for those employed
in hazardous jobs: IS for those
in the postal service and 10 for
those in the clerical forces.
Retirement Options
The new measure sets up two
propositions for optional retire
ment: At IS years of age after 80
years, but only with the consent
Of the employe and the Govern.
ment, and at so years after 80
years of service.
Other clauses liberalizes the law
under which the retirement act
now operates in cases of disability
annuitieS.
One of the most important
changes was made to meet the OBJ
stacle that has held up retirement
legislation for the past two or
three yearS-its cost.
In the new bill deductions from
Government employees salaries will
be raised from 31a to S per cent
and the amount OF interest paid
on the deductions will be decreased
from I to per cent.
