Bond Payment Plan
For Terminal Leave
Voted by Conferees
Funds Moy Be Used
To Poy Premiums on
War Risk Insurance
By J. A. O'Leory

House and Senate conferees
today agreed on a compromise
plan for payment of enlisted
mems terminal leave in bonds.
This is one of the few major
bills Congress expects to pass be-
fore adjourning Friday.
The House conferees reluctantly
took the bond method of payment
for all amounts over $50 with an
amendment under which the bonds
may be turned into the Veterans
Administration to pay premiums on
war risk insurance, or to convert
that into permanent national life
insurance.
Wherever the amount due is I'M
der $50, payment will be made in
cash. In other cases, the five-year
bonds, bearing 21a per cent interest
will be issued in multiples OF $25.
Senate Acts Today.
While the Senate is acting this
afternoon on the conference agree
ment, House leaders will try to pass
the last supplemental appropriation
bill, which includes $2,43l ,000, 600
for the terminal leave pay. as well
as $20.O0O,OO0 additional for the re-
born OPA.
Before taking up the terminal
leave agreement, the Senate will
try to pass the House-approved re-
vision of the Social Security Act.
Although all remaining legislation
is threatened by a House filibuster
against citing witness for contempt
before the TN American Activities
Committee, House leaders believe the
terminal leave measure will go
through.
The bond payment method was
urged on the Senate by the admin
istration to avoid the inflationary
effects of cash payment. Congress
sional leaders believe President Tru-
man will sign the compromise, on
the theory that there is only linn
tied degree of imitation in permitting
servicemen to apply the bonds on
their Government life insurance
100000 Policies.
Senator Thomas, Democrat. of
Utah, said that, while no one knows
how many veterans will use the
bonds to pay for their insurance
there are 100000 Government In
surance policies outstanding. Up to
date, ZIG, 900 veterans have converted
their war risk into permanent Gov
eminent insurance, and Senator
Thomas believes this bill will prompt
many more veterans to convert their
insurance, since they can use these
bonds to do so.
Officers already get terminal leave
and the pending bill would pay en-
listed men at the rate of az days
a month, for not to exceed 100
months of service, less any furlough
time they actually received. To
their base pay for these days would
be added 10 cents day for sub
sistence, and, if married, SIPS day
additional.
Senate leaders late>. yesterday
called up the House-approved anti
poll tax bill for one of its periodic
airings, but with virtually no chance
Of getting it to vote on its merits.

buster would be started against it,

Civil Service Urges
Dropping ofS1 Tontine
Pay Check Deduction
Retirement Payment
Benefited Only Those
Completing Service

Elimination of the $1-a-month
deduction which has been made
from Government pay checks for
years was recommended today
by. the Civil Service Commission
Known as the "tontine" charge
the deduction has been objected to
by many Government employees as
unfair. Unlike the per cent with
drawal for the retirement fund the
81 month charge benefits only
those who continue in the Govern
ment service until the retirement
age. These survivors share in the
division of the tontine payments
made by Government employees who
leave the service before retirement
The name comes from Lorenzo Ton
II. 18th century Neapolitan banker
who invented lottery based on an
nuity payments and survival.
The commissions recommendation
was in letter to Senator Mcclellan
president pro tenn of the Senate.
Would End Interest.
AT the same time the commission
recommended that the legislation
also eliminate payment of interest
on retirement refunds to employees
who leave the Government with
less than five years of service. Al
present, these employees get a lump
sum payment of the funds they con-
tributed, plus interest. Once an
employe has served five years in
the Government he has to wait until
the regular retirement age to COL
lect the money.
The commission estimated the dis
continuance of interest will COM
pensate for about half the loss in
the Federal retirement fund caused
by the proposed elimination of the
tontine charge.
The commission said the tontine
charge is viewed as IAN admins
trative nuisance in Federal
agencies" and that as a result re-
tirement, accounting is in arrears in
most Federal departments. Elimi-
nation of this charge will speed
up the accounting process by about
40 per cent the commission esti-
mated.
While reporting its proposal will
result in a possible loss of revenue
of as much as $3,O00,000 annually,

OF the Sl-a-month charge will do
