Darden 10 Ask Boost
In Teacher Pensions
BY the Associated Press.

by thc AoSOSlctcu 1ICSe.
RICHMOND, Va, Feb. 28.-The
Virginia General Assembly at its
extraordinary session next month
will be asked by Gov. Darden to
set up legislation under the literary
fund freezing" amendment adopt
ed last November to permit the use
of the excess money in the fund for
teacher retirement.
The Governor said yesterday he
is anxious to increase the allowance
to the older teachers who are re-
firing each year, but he had re-
ceived what he termed inadequate
retirement funds. The retirement
system for teachers, he said, is so
new that teachers who are retir-
ing now have not earned sufficient
credits under the system to entitle
them to reasonable compensation,
although they have taught school
for many years.
The constitutional amendment
adopted last fall permits the use by
the General Assembly of any part
of the fund above $4,000, 600 for
permanent school purposes. The
State controller reported yesterday
that the balance in the literary
fund as of January 81, was $12,-
244,07225.
The frozen" principal of $l0,-
100000 is reserved for capital loans
and can be used for no other pur-
pose. Gov. Darden indicated that
the excess of nearly $2,250, 900 now
on hand will be far more than his
program of expanding the teacher
retirement program will demand.

Federal Aides,
30 10 B, 70 Lose
Draft Stays
Must Hold Scientific
Or Technical Jobs
To Retain Stutus
BY MIRIAM GUTENBERG.

I A majority of the Government
workers in the 1898 age bracket
are going to lose their occupationa
deferments unless they are doing
scientific or technical work, a Dis
trict draft spokesman said today.
This official said he expected the
stricter deferment regulations fol
men in this age group, made public
over the week end, would 'hit hard
at Government laborers, clerks mes
sengers and others who were de-
ferred simply because they held
Government jobs.
In the future, he said, working
for the Government will not be suf-
fclent reason to warrent deferment
of man in the 1898 age group
The mans job, he explained, must
be necessary"
Hopes for Delay.
Edgar Puryear. chairman of the
Review Committee on Government
Deferments, said he hoped it would
not be necessary at this time to
draft great many of the men in
this age group, but added that here
after his committee will apply the
stricter rules for deferment in line
with the new regulations.
AS for the men under 30, Mr.. Pur-
year said he realized the Govern
ment will have to lose a great
number" of these men.
He pointed out, however, that
outside of the Army and Navy, the
Federal agencies had only 6,770
physically fit men under 30 deferred.
Included among them are the Dis
trlct's younger policemen, firemen,
auditors, building inspectors and
other municipal employees.
The Review Committee is one of
the Is Government groups charged
with recommending deferment of
indispensable and irreplaceable
men under 80. Mr.. Puryear said his
committee is now working out the
details of selecting the men whose
deferment will be recommended.
To Choose by Age.
Under the new draft instructions.
1t was learned, men will be drafted
by age groups instead of by their
status as fathers or nonfathers
and fathers in the 1929 age group
before going over 30 for nonfathers
and finally fathers. Previously, sin
gle men in all age groups were
called ahead of fathers who were
also in la
On the score of losing deferred
status, District draft headquarters
explained that deferred men under
80 will keep their deferments until
the new deferment requests are filed.
until the deferment expires or until
April l, whichever Is earlier.
Men in the 1898 age group. it was
explained, will keep their deferments
until they would normally run out,
until the draft board goes over
all files to make more men avail
able to fill a cali or until the Dis
trict Board of Appeal is given their
cases to review. The appeal board
gets the cases to review when the
men work here but are deferred by
boards in other Jurisdictions.
