Whether you dine at home or out
you'll be more than lucky to obtain
a piece of beef this week end, or any

House Unit Approves
u. ). Promotions Lost
By Military Service

The House Civil Service Commit
tee today approved legislation which
would grant job promotions to new
Government employees who were
forced to decline appointments to
Federal jobs during the war be-
cause they were in the military serv-
ice. The legislation also covers Dis
trict police and firemen.
Introduced by Majority Leader

ply to persons who passed civil serv-
ice examinations and were on the
eligible list waiting for jobs when
they entered the military service.
At present, these persons are en-
titled to get the job they competed
for, but they are denied any promo
tions they might have received had
they been In the Federal service
from the start.
Compare Other Promotions.
Government of1cials said that

in the armed forces.
The Senate has not yet acted on
similar legislation.
Another bill approved by the COM
mittee would grant Civil Service re-
tirement benefits to heads of execu-
tive departments and independent
agencies in the Government. At
present these officials are not cov-
cred by the Retirement Act. The
bill does not include cabinet officers.

Forand bill which would extend full
annuity rights to Government en-
ployes with IS or more years Of

plies primarily to Navy Yard en-
ployes.
Another approved bill would per-
NIT a Government employe who was
receiving an annuity because of the
death of another person to also re-
ceive her retirement pension when
she retires from Federal service.
Widows. who now work for the
Government. cannot accept two Diff
ferent annuity payments under the
present law when they are eligible
for retirement benefits.
