Civil Service AgencYAs
Retirement Bill Chances

Objections were voiced yesterday
by the Civil Service Commission to
certain major features of the bill
of Senator Nicely of West Virginia
to liberalize the Federal retirement
law. but it reported there would be
no objection by the Budget Bureau
to changes if the bill were modified
in line with the commissions sug-
gestions.
The Nicely bill would permit re-
tirement at the ages of IS and 70
for different classes of service after
Is years in Government work and
retirement at the option of the
worker or the Government at the
age of 60 after 80 years of service
and at the age of 62 after Is years
service. The present law provides
for retirement at the ages of 81, IS
and 10 for different classes of
workers.
The commission in letter to the
Senate Civil Service Committee
held that retirement at the ages of
81 or IS, under conditions proposed
in the Nicely bill, was too early"
1t repeated support for a uniform
rule for compulsory retirement at
70 after Is years of service and for
retirement, at the option of either
the Government or the worker, at
the age of go after 80 years service
or at the age of 62 after Is years
service.
The commission said its Board of
Actuaries reported the Nicely pro-
posals would place an additional
cost of S17,392 AGO on the Govern
ment, and that if its own principles
were adopted the additional cost
would be reduced to $10,805,O0O.

Director Thinks
Hollywood Wrong

Hollywood may be wrong in
tipping actors. but 1t has been
wrong In NOT tipping directors.
Motion picture directors and writ
ers are assigned one day to do
drawing room comedy, the next
day TO historical spectacle and next
to melodrama.
And that's all wrong according
to Alfred Hitchcock. famed Eng
lish director who has arrived in
Hollywood with the completion of
Jamaica Inn," the Paramount re-
lease now at the Beverly theater.
THE time for specialization In
film direction and writing has ar
rived" he asserts. 1T is Just as
important that the creative end of
the cinema be specialized as it is
for technical assistants each to
have their own specialties."

and so sound that it was something
for the rest of the world to marvel
at, as If they themselves had made
sacrifices and struggled to create
and preserve its greatness.
Behind the God Blessing" and
the Thanking God" there was al
way faint but noxious aroma Of
smugness, as If there was virtue
and credit instead of mere luck in
the simple fact of having been born
in the United States rather than In
Belgium or Czechoslovakia.
The attitude at first irritated me
and then Sc me thinking and I be-
gan to ask, How many Of us in
our time have made any effort to
preserve and increase the blessings
which come of having been born
an Americana" And the answer
after much thought came back,
Probably under per cent of the
citizenry of the whole country" -
the men and women who are edu-
Gators, benefactors, reformers and
just plain good citizens"
The rest have done very little
save enjoy the benefits of a great
state made by forefathers who
really fought and made sacrifices
that it might live and grow, the
men who had real right to say
THANK God I'm an American"
and take pride In 1t.

the trouble to vote honestly and
decently in their own communi-
ties or to protest the mediocrity
and corruption foisted on them by
the petty political organizations all
