Ranspeck Asks
Raises, Pension
For Congress
Tells Colleagues
Present $4,000
Salary Is Inadequate

chairman RamSpeck OF the House
Civil Service Committee, who is re-
signing from Congress at the end
of the month to become executive
vice president of the Air Transport
Association, urged Congress today in
a farewell message to increase the
pay OF its members and provide itself
with retirement system.
Mr.. Ramspeck, who is Democratic
whip, said the present $4,000 salary
for congressman was inadequate.
Referring to his own decision to
leave Congress, Mr.. Ramspeck said
I did not lightly reach such a
decision. 1t. came as the result of
conditions which have an effect on
every citizen Of our Nation. 1t has
been made because, under present
conditions, member of Congress
cannot save anything for old age"
Lauds Former Assistant.
people who do not know the sit
uation will find it hard to under
stand that statement. However, 1t is
fact to which every one who knows
the truth will testify"
The Georgian's new job is report
ed to pay $4,000 a year.
Another factor in his decision to
resign from Congress was the loss
of a very fine, capable and Ell
cient assistant" Mr.. Ramspeck said.
He said his aide resigned about IS
months ago to accept a better-pay-
ing job in private industry.
Mr.. Ramspeck said members of
Congress should provide better pay
for their assistants.
Bill in Senate.
The Senate has before it a bill
to boost the salaries of members of
Congress to $4,000 a year. Retire.
ment legislation, under which mem
bers of Congress could buy their
way into the Federal retirement sys-
tenn, was reported favorably yester-
day by the House Civil Service Com
mittee.
The green light for early House
action was to be considered today
by the House Rules Committee.
The committee yesterday voted
IL to to report the bill favorably.
This action was buttressed by COM
prehenSive hearings conducted by
Representative Randolph, Demo-
crat, of West Virginia, who is to be-
come head of the committee jan
uary /.
The bill, offered by Representa-
tive Vinson, Democrat, of Georgia,
provides that a department head,
member of Congress or other cleo
tive official may become eligible for
Government retirement, after five
years, by making the customary 5
per cent salary contribution to the
fund. For members of Congress this
would be $4,000 for five years.
Must Serve Five Years.
A member of Congress would not
be eligible for retirement annuity
unless and until he had served for
at least five years, and had paid
his 5 per cent contributions for that
period.
The hearings brought out that
a member of Congress who retired
at IS after Is years service on Capt.
tol Hill would receive an annuity
Of $1,705, whereas a classified Gov
eminent worker of the same age
and service would be pensioned at
81, 143.
For older members Of Congress
their annuities would depend on the
number of back years of service for
which they would be willing to make
the S per cent salary contributions
to the retirement fund, it was ex-
planned
