WELL, the Kid was coming along
pretty good now. "You know,
Major, a Highland Scot takes lot

know. My own Dad was with Kitch-

Jamison was at his best. That boy
of his was going to carry on, and
do lot more for the Marine Corps
than his old man ever did Anybody
could see it. There was one part of
his checkered life that meant more
to Private First Class Jamison than
all the rest put together - his son.
''All right, Jamison. You can
tell him he's welcome to sack in

Jamison's thanks took an un-

wasn't the best of his talents. but
took the old Scottish toast as pretty
eloquent thanks at that.

|vinson Urges $1,000
Limit on Contributions
For Congress Pension

Representative Vinson, veteran
Democratic legislator from Georgia,
who heads the House Naval Affairs
Committee, today urged a House
Civil Service Subcommittee to amend
the pending pensions for Congress-
men bill by limiting the amount of
retroactive contributions present
members Of Congress would have
to make to become eligible for bene-
fits.
Mr.. Vinson. appearing as the only
witness before, the subcommittee
headed by Representative Randolph,
Democrat, Of West Virginia, asked
that the legislation be revamped SO
that older members of Congress
would have to pay no more than
IS 900 to get In the plan.
He pointed out that under the
present provisions of the measure,
payments would run as high as
$l4,467 If the pension plan became
effective June 30, 1916.
Designed to Extend Benefits.
The congressional retirement bill,
introduced in the House by Repre-
sentative Norton, Democrat, of New
Jersey. is designed to extend pen
sion benefits to members of Con-
gress and the heads of executive
departments. To become eligible,
present members of Congress would
have to make payments as far back
as August l. 1920.
Mr.. Vinson indorsed the general
purpose of the Norton bill.
This bill would elevate the Con-
gress to the proper degree of career
recognition that it deserves" Mr..
Vinson said. rs any one more truly
Government career man than a
member of Congress who has served
the people of his district and the
people of the Nation for many
years? Is there any one who has
sacrificed security of position more
than a member of Congress who
has stood for reelection every two
years for many terms?"
Mr.. Vinson said he was convinced
the current open hearings on the
proposed pension plan were elm
mating much of the criticism that
attended similar effort by Con-
gress in 1912 to set up a retirement
system. He said he believed the
plan was better understood and
that it now has the backing of the
people"
Most important, he said. the peo-
pie now understand that the bill
would give Congressman only that
which they have earned and paid
for"
Using himself as an example. Mr..
Vinson pointed out he will have been
in Congress 32la years on the pro-
posed effective date of the bill next
year. 1t would cost him $l4,467 to
participate in the plan, he said, and
he would be entitled to draw bene-
| fits of s4,594 if he retired at once.
Cites Pension for Judges.
A Federal district judge, on the
other hand. has lifetime appoint
ment and may retire at 10 after 10
years service at full pay of $4,000
without having made any payments,
he reminded the subcommittee. A
Supreme Court justice, he said, may
retire under similar conditions at
his full pay Of $4,000.
The most important aspects of the
bill, Mr.. Vinson said, were for new
members of Congress and for future
members who might choose to enter
the plan by paying S per cent Of
their salaries and who would become
eligible for benefits after five years
service.
Mr.. Vinson will continue his testi-
mony before the subcommittee at
1890 am. Tuesday.

MacLeish Declares
BY the Associated Press.


SAN FRANCISCO. June 28.-As-
sistant Secretary Of State Archi-
bald MacLeish said today that
without freedom of exchange Of
information between the peoples of
the world, the mutual understand
ing upon which the hope of peace
depends will not be realized"
Mr.. MacLeish responded to a
request from the Associated Press
for an official explanation of how
1t is expected that world freedom
of information-with all national
barriers down on the flow of news
among nations-would be promoted
under the United Nations Charter.
While thus warning of the neces-
sity, in his belief, of positive steps
to expand the area of the world in
which the4e is unrestricted flow of
information, Mr.. MacLeish empha-
sized that the Charter lis a con-
stitution and not an operating doc
ument"-hence does not spell out
In detail" the procedure and ma
chinery to be involved.
Has Broad Objective.
Mr.. MacLeish said the Charter
Estates a broad objective" and sets
up social instruments by which
that objective is to be attained"
The charter provides for an eco
nomic and social council which is to
promote respect for, and observance
of, human rights and fundamental
freedoms, he explained.
"The council, moreover, is directed
by the charter to establish a COM
mission for the promotion of human
rights The Economic and Social
Council has the right to delegate to
his commission its power to conduct
studies, to make reports, to obtain
reports from member nations, to call
international conferences, to prepare
draft conventions
presumably the commission
would employ all these tools and
weapons in its attempt to promote
freedom of exchange of informa-
ton.
Council Could Call Meetings.
ut would. that Is to say, study the
flow Of information in the world
and report upon obstacles it found
to exist. On its recommendation
the economic and social council
could call international conferences
If it felt conferences were neces-
sary and conventions for submission
to the member states could be draft
ed to promote the ends in view. = =
The makeup of the commission
is not prescribed by the Charter.
Presumably it you'd be small And
in all likelihood its members would
be persons associated with the
struggle, in their several countries,
for human dignity and the realiza-
ton of the liberties of man.
