new BILL TO
AFFECT MANY
PEOPLE HERE
Amended Pension Act Will
Reach More Employees
Of U.S.. Government

The Civil Service Retirement Bill
introduced year ago by Represen-
tative Robert Ramspeck and signed
recently by President Roosevelt, will
effect practically every Federal Of
flee In Juneau. The bill further
amends the Civil Service Retire
ment Act OF 1890 and includes PEN
sions for Congressman, many of
whom will get as much as $4,000
annually as retirement pay.
The amended act includes all Of
ficers and employees in or under
the executive, judicial and legisla-
tive branches of the United States
Government, all elective and APP
pointive officers in or under those
branches, and all officers and en-
ployees of the municipal government
of the District of Columbia.
The new act reduces the retire
ment age of thousands of employees.
Previously there were three retire
ment groups-62, 65 and TO- The
amended bill eliminates the three
groups and allows all employees to
retire at their option at 60 with 80
years of service and fixes the COM
pulsory retirement age at 70 for all

ALT LAND0N
CRITIC IzES
GOVERNMENT
He Asks President 10 Clean
House at Home and
Abroad for Efficiency

WASHINGTON, Feb. IL ALI
Landon asserted in a Lincoln Day
speech today that the United
States would do well to mimic Eng
land and, change leaders in the
field or at home whenever bungling
management endangers successful
prosecution of the war.
Landon didn't say whether he
had any particular leader in mind,
but indicated that he thought there
was waste, inefficiency and con-
fusion in the Government. He
called on President Roosevelt to
make an end of such practices.
Said Landon The babble of
conflicting agencies in the nations
capital, is creating confusion
throughout the nation. Because of
the lack of frankness we are not
sufficiently aware of what is re-
quired of us. We are not efficiently
girding ourselves for battle"

Dutch Defend Island
Oil Bases

WASHINGTON, Feb. II - The
State Department announced to-
day that contingent of United
States troops had been sent to
the Dutch islands of Curacao and
Aruba off Dutch Guiana to assist
in defense with permission of the
Dutch in cooperation with vene-
zuela.
The troops were sent under an
agreement similar to a Brazilian
pact which previously allowed the
landing of American soldiers in
Guiana. The agreement specifically
stated that the troops will operate
under the Dutch Governor and will
be withdrawn after the war.
Curacao and Aruba are impor-
tant island oil bases.

employees with Is or more years of
service.
The government. however, may re-
quest the retirement of any employee
by reason of disqualification for
being unable to perform satisfactor-
lily and efficiently the duties of his
or her position. Any employee SO
disqualified is given an opportunity
for a hearing before the Civil Service
Commission.
The present rate of retirement
deductions of 3l2 percent of the
basic salary, pay or compensation
for services rendered is being in
creased to percent on July l, 1912,
to take care of the increased an
nuities under the new act. This is
said to be the highest rate found
for any retirement plans in exist
ence.
Other amendments we're optional
retirement at age 81 with Is years
of service; retirement at age SIS with
80 years of service but at reduced
authorizes retirement with
half pay at age so with 35 years of
service. and any employee with not
less than years service who be-
comes separated from the service
before becoming eligible for retire
ment will be paid deferred an
nuity beginning at age 81. This age
corresponds with the Social Security
Act
The minimum retirement annuity
with 80 years service remains at
81 200 per annum.
There are several employees in
the Federal service in Juneau bene-
fitted by the amended act and who
will be able to retire Immediately
or at their option.

f high living costs-higher than
Juneau" he declared. Seattle
food prices are higher than here,
ent rates are very much higher.
It is true that women and children
have Eeen evacuated from defense
bases in Alaska, but not because
of any fear of the Japanese. The
evacuation simply m mt more
food could be brought to defense
workers, more houses could be given
to the men who need them. The
voluntary evacuation by som e
people from other Alaskan cities is
not justified
Faith declared that a popular
misconception of Alaska's strategic
bases is that they are being con-
structed for defensive purposes
Bases for Offense
This is not So" he pointed out
Those bases are being built fol
offense-for a drive against Japan
1t is possible and not improbable
that farflung parts of Alaska may
be attacked in the future, but only
The distant bases will be concerned
However, Juneau has. nothing tt
