6-Year Presidential Term

on politics which is fast overtaking

Committee heard today from Will
liam Mather Lewis, president of
Lafayette College, Easton, Pa, and
former president of George Wash

politics and craftsmanship on &C
count of the "low" actions of
politicians. He did not Identify
what low" actions he meant, but
aroused Senator Wiley, Republican,
of Wisconsin to his support.
The college president was the days
only witness on two resolutions for
a constitutional amendment to limit
presidential service. The resolution
by Senator Burke, Democrat, of
Nebraska would fix one term of six
years. Senator Holt, Democrat, Of
West Virginia, provides in his resolu-
tion for not more than two terms

Montgomery Police
To Retain Pensions
II Called 10 Service
All County Officers
Would Be Eligible
To Fund Benefits

Montgomery County policemen
called into military service will con-
tinue to be eligible for benefits of
their police pension fund under
action last night by the Montgom-
cry County Policemen's Association.
The action was taken at a meet
ing in the Bethesda County Building
at which suggestions for changes in
the present police setup were dis
cussed. Sergt. j. S. McAuliffe, asso-
ciate president. said that the sug-
gestions would be drawn up in the
form of amendments to the present
law by Attorney Donald M. Bowie,
jr., for submission to the Board of
County Commissioners.
Eligible to Death Benefits.
The association voted to retain In
good standing all members called
into military service. including the
NationaIsGuard or the Oficers' Re-
serve Corps. which will make them
eligible to death benefits and other
privileges even though they may
not be on the county police force.
The legislative proposals covered a
wide range of subjects mostly of
minor importance except for one
asking for pensions in the event of
disability in the line of duty.
The present law provides for re-
tirement at half pay after Is years
service with the county force. The
association hopes to have this pro-
vision widened to include men dis
abled permanently in line of duty
regardless of length of service. They
also hope to establish so per cent
of the base pay as minimum on re-
tirement instead of a maximum.
Under the present law retirement
benefits may be anything up to so
per cent.
Widows Pensions Sought.
Another provision which the as
sociation hopes to obtain is pen
sion of $50 a month for widows of
officers who died while on the force
and an additional allowance of $40
for each child under IS years of age.
The widows would not receive the
pension If they married again.
Another suggested amendment
would require refund to men sever
ing their connections with the force
for any reason whatever amount
has been deducted from their pay as
contribution to the retirement
fund. This practice is in effect in
most police departments throughout
the country having pension funds,
Mr.. Bowie explained.
Several questions of lesser impor-
tance will be taken up with the
commissioners before the delegates
prepare legislative program for
the session next January, Mr.. Bowie
said, but 1t is expected that some of
them may be cleared up without
legislative action.
