CANADIANS TO ACT
ON KING INCIDENT
Abdication Debated in Par
Iiament and Loyalty Bill
introduced.
Hy the Associated Press.

BY the ASSOCldteQ rTeSo
OTTAWA, January 15.-The Cana
dian Parliament convened yesterday
for a short session, and the colorful
ritual of opening day was hardly
over before the abdication OF King
Edward VIII and succession of King
George vi became a subject Of de-
bate In the House of Commons.
Premier Mackenzie King introduced
In the lower house a bill to ratify the
change in succession to the throne
and announced resolution of loyalty
to the new sovereign would be pre-
sented today. For this resolution he
asked unanimous consent.
This evoked immediate opposition
from James S. Wordsworth, veteran
House leader Of the Cooperative
Commonwealth Federation. who as
serted it would not be possible to de-
bate the bill ratifying the change in
sovereigns if that were preceded by
passage of the resolution of loyalty
to King George.
However, he later withdrew his
objection, and the resolution was
scheduled for consideration today.
The premier laid before the Com
mons photostatic copies of the in
strument of King Edwards abdica-
ton but announced he would not
make public the correspondence be-
tween Canada and the British gov.
ernment concerning the change In
sovereigns.
Neither the British nor the Aus
tralian governments would make these
exchanges between the mother LAND
and the dominions public. he said.
He promised, however, a statement
In Parliament on the dramatic event.

of the measure, but expressed himself
in sympathy with its general pur.
pose.
Meanwhile, two other civil service
bills were introduced late yesterday
by Senator Copeland, Democrat, of
New York to amend the Government
retirement law. One would establish a
pension for widows of veteran Gov
ernment employees who die while on
the retired list, and the other would
improve the retirement benefits for
Government employees who render long
service in the Tropics.
The widows pension bill, which
was considered, but not acted upon
in the last Congress, provides that
when a retired Federal employe dies
his widow would continue to draw
three-fourths of the husbands an
nuity, provided she Is more than 40
years of age
Terms Act "Unfair."
In recommending repeal of the pres
ent efficiency rating system under the
classification act, McCarran termed
1t unfair" Instead of this uniform
system, the bill would allow the CLASH
flying agency and the department
heads to determine to what extent
1t Is practical to use efficiency ratings.
They would have optional authority to
use such ratings, subject to approval
by the President, but with such ratings
open to inspection by employees.
Senator McCarran figures that the
average pay raise under his bill would
be about $3.50 year. In some of the
lower grades, however, it would be
more substantial, due to the adoption
of the principle of $500 minimum
for full-time work. In the clerical,
administrative and fiscal branch of the
service, for example, the lowest salary
step in grade / of that service would
be brought up from 1850 to $500.
