Congress Members
Who Lose This Year
Can Get Annuities
With Five Yeors' Service
Con QuoIify on Lost Day
By Paying About $l.40

Members Of Congress who lose
at the polls this year. or retire for
any other reason, can qualify for
annuities at bargain-counter rates
If they have as much as five years
service. by virtue of the Ramspeck-
Mead Retirement Act, now awaiting
the Presidents signature, a study
of the measures provisions today
disclosed
A Senate amendment to the legis-
lation gives Senators and House
members the entire year to qualify
for future benefits by paying per
cent of salary. Under q literal in
depreciation of the law, consequent
". they could come under the sys-
tenn on the last day of the year, pay
about $l40 to the retirement fund
representing per cent Of that
days salary-and be all set.
Maximum Of $4,175.
For a five-year member who had
reached the age OF 81. the annuity
would approximate $3.50 annually.
For those with longer service, the
annuity would be proportionately
higher to a maximum of SALTS for
those with IS years or more. The
measure also makes provision for
reduced annuities on the same serv-
ice bases, for those persons reaching
the age of SIS.
Civil Service Commission officials
who administer the retirement law
do not, however, anticipate any rush
for the cheap benefits. About go
Senators and half of the House
membership now have as much as
five years service, but many of these
are below the minimum retirement
ages.
Original Provisions.
Under the measure as originally
drawn, incumbent members Of Con-
gress would have ben required to
come under the law six months after
the effective date if they proposed
to qualify for its benefits. This
would have made their payments
this year approximately 5000.
Hereafter, all members of Congress
who desire to come into the system
must do so six months after entering
office.
All other employees to whom the
law applies automatically come un-
der its provisions on the date OF
employment.

George Urges Senate
To Place Super Tax
On War Profits
loft Fovors Levy Insteod
Of Limitation on Earnings
From u, S. Contracts
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Congressman are considering a
special tax on industry to drain OF
most war production profits.
Senator George. Democrat, Of
Georgia, chairman of the Senate
Finance Committee, today advocated
a super" levy on war profits, over
and above any taxes that now are
imposed or might be voted on ex-
cess profits in general.
Senator Taft, Republican, Of
Ohio, another member of the COM
mittee, has suggested a separate
tax on the earnings from Govern
menr contracts instead Of various
proposals that have been made in
Congress recently for statutory iimi-
tation Of such profits.
II think such a tax would work
much better than a profit limitation
such as Congress formerly imposed
on ship and airplane builders and
later repealed" Senator Taft told
reporters. There have been COM
plants that such limita tions slowed
up production. 1 say, let industry
make the profits, but take osck all
OF them, above a certain low per-
centage, in special taxation
Senator George said the Treasury
had objected in the past because of
the difIiculties In administering such
a levy, but he saw no reason why
a special war profits tax should not
be imposed in some form.
Senator George sought Senate
consideration today of House.
