LANCER 6 Seeks Report
On Retirement Benefit
Program tomorrow
BY Joseph Young

Chairman LANCER Of the Senate
Civil Service Committee announced
today he will call a special commit
tee meeting tomorrow in an attempt
to get a favorable vote on his bill
to grant Federal workers survivor
ship insurance benefits and in
creased retirement annuities.
The North Dakotan is co-author
of the LANCER Chavez bill, which
also would reduce the retirement age
to go and increase payments for
Federal workers already retired.
Favorable Committee action is in
dicated despite the announced oppo-.
sitien yesterday OF the Civil Service
Commission to the legislation,
Hopes for Report Tomorrow.
'I'n going to try and have the
committee report 1t out favorably
tomorrow" Senator LANCER said to-
day. However, it's up to them, and
I hope they will go along with me. "
More than rs Federal employe
groups sent representatives before
the committee yesterday to voice
their approval Of the bill. Some
groups, however, felt the bill didn't
go far enough and suggested addi-
tional amendments which the COM
mittee will consider tomorrow.
THE thing that we are interested
In most Of all is the survivorship
benefits feature Of the bill" SEN
ator LANCER said ''The other pro-
visions are important, but not nearly
as much as the provision to take
care of the widows and orphans
of Government employees who die
In the service"
Minimum of About $500.
The bill would provide that child
less widows get about $500 year
benefits, while widows with several
@minor children would get around
$1,000 annually. The widows would
get the payments until they died or
remarked, while the children would
receive benefits until they reach
their 18th birthday anniversary.
Representatives Of Federal en-
ployes already retired asked the
committee to bost their current
pensions by 5000 a year. The bill
proposes a rs per cent or $500 an
nuaL increase, whichever Is smaller.
The legislation also provides an
nuity increases of about $3.50 a year
for present-day Government en-
ployes. Donald Murray, legislative
representative of the CIO United
Public Workers of America, said
this amount was too small to
justify increasing the salary con-
tributions Of Federal workers by /
per cent. However, Mr.. Murray
said the bill deserved the support
of employees organizations.
Mitchell Opposes Cost.
Harry B. Mitchell, president Of
the Civil Service Commission, said
he opposed the bill because it
would cost too much. Commission
actuaries have estimated the cost
of the bill would be an additional
$200, 100000 a year, he said. The
contemplated l per cent additional
deduction from wages to help pay
for the measure would amount to
only $50, 100000 year, Mr.. Mitchell!
added.
These figures were disputed by
John Phenix, the committees ac-
tuary, who prepared the bill. The
cost would be negligible" for the
first few years, although the cost
would increase as the years went
on and more persons became

Milk And Health

Ashe county ranks first in the pro-
duction of milk. And since June is Dairy
Month, Ashe county people might we'll
consider the amount of milk they drink
Science is finding out that it takes more
than pint day to keep the doctor away.
This is the substance of a disclosure by
the department of nutrition service Of the
National Dairy Council, on the basis or re-
ports issued by nationally known scientists
who are determining the amount of CAL
cium required to maintain good health.
Calcium is necessary for the formation
and maintenance of bones and teeth, for
coagulation Of the blood, for normal heart
action and for the proper functioning of all
muscles and nerves. Of all foods, milk
is unequaled as the best provider of cal
cium in the human diet.
The findings were recently made by
President Milton HUT of the National
Dairy Council. 1T seems obvious that the
recommendation commonly made that the
average adult should have, in addition to
other items Of an adequate mixed diet,
at least one pint of milk daily to satisfy
his calcium need now rests on even firmer
foundation Of scientific fact than in former
years. It should be emphasized that such
a quantity of milk would provide for main
tenance only and not for a margin Of
safety There is need, evidently, for re-
consideration of calcium allowances for
the post-adolescent period Since bone de-
velopment continues for a number CT
years beyond adolescence it seems OBJ
vious that the customary pint-a-day ad-
ult milk recommendation falls short Of pro-
viding adequate amounts of calcium dur
the half decade or so Immediately prece-
ing the half decade or SO Immediately
preceding full adulthood," he concluded.
Not only is milk essential to health,
but cheerfulness, according the experts.
A report from the U. S. Department Of Ag-
riculture reveals that fluid milk cOnsunlp-
ton reached new highs during World War
II and thiamin in milk has been hickman
ed the morale vitan1in during this period
because it did much to keep people cheer
full
From these conclusions if you would be
healthfuI and cheerful drink more milk.
