whelming majority for repeal. with
the bill being speeded to the House

vote on a general old age pension
as a rider on the repeal bill.
The Senate repeal vote was TO
come just one month after a bill
revising the federal employee re-
tirement system was passed, with
senators, representatives, the Pres
ident and his Cabinet officers in
cluded in its benefits.
The bill, which passed after brief
debate, aroused national protest,
with a group OF Spokane. Wash,

The country expects us to vote
promptly and to vote TO repeal the
provisions" said, Barley. Leaders
