President Vetoes
Retired Pay Bill
For District Judqes
Police, Municipal Jurists
Declared Protected
By Previous Stutute

President Roosevelt today vetoed
bill that would have provided re-
tired pay for Police and Municipal
Court judges here. The Commits
sioners had recommended the veto,
the President said.
Mr. Roosevelt pointed out that
law has been on the books since July
l authorizing retirement pay for
judges of the now consolidated
Police Municipal Court after they
have had 20 years service.
Approval of the bill under con-
sideration would provide retirement
benefits similar to those contained
in the act of July l, 1912, but with
out the requirement of a minimum
Of 20 years service" the President
told Congress in his veto message.
Moreover, the granting of a re-
tirement status as proposed by the
bill for service previously rendered
by judges not now In the service,
would establish an undesirable
precedent. whereby other judges who
IN the future may not render such
service as would qualify them for
retirement, would urge the enact
ment of special legislation on their
behalf"

The voluntary meat sharing may
be done, Miss Smith declared. in a

may prefer a meatless day while
others may prefer meatless meals
