RetirementFund
Withdrawal Bill
Voted in House
Luid-Off U. S. Workers
OfLess Than 10 Years
Service to Benefit
BY Joseph Young

The House today approved leg
islation to permit laid-off Gov
ernment employees to withdraw
their contributions to the civil
service retirement system.
Under terms of the bill, dismissed
Government employees with less than
10 years service to their credit can
withdraw their retirement money.
The present law permits only those
workers with less than five years of
Federal service to draw out their
money.
Sponsored by Representative
Jones, Republican, of Washington
the measure now goes to the Senate.
Thousands of Federal employees
now losing their jobs during the
reduction in force program would
benefit under the bill. These en-
ployes entered the Government in
1910 and 1941 and, consequently, are
not eligible under the present law
to withdraw their money.
The Jones bill, however, allows
them to withdraw their contribu-
tions, averaging about $500 or $400
per person. Government employees
are not entitled to unemployment
compensation benefits, and refunded
retirement money would help tide
over dismissed workers until they
find new jobs.
The provision in the Jones bill is
also contained in the Langer-Cha-
vez-Stevenson Omnibus civi, serv-
ice retirement bill, but sponsors
of the Jones measure decided to
press for it's enactment after it was
decided that the chances for the
omnibus legislation were none too
good.
Under the present law, once an
employe has completed five years of
Federal service he must leave his
contributions in the civil service re-
tirement fund until he reaches the
age of 81, when annlities begin.

PetriIIo Tells House Unit of Plan

James c.. Petrillo said today
that his American Federation of
Musicians may seek to ban radio
network broadcasts of music
when present contracts expire
December 81.
The union president also declared
present intention" to let all music
recording contracts expire at the
end of the year. He said the union

Mr.. Petrillo told a House Labor
subcommittee investigating his

Noting that SOB radio stations

I'VE want to allow these people
who are dissatisfied (he referred
to the radio networks) to become

IF they want to broadcast Harry
James. let them bring Harry James

Mr.. Petrillo took the position that
musical recordings and network
broadcasts are forcing unemploy-
ment among musicians.
He predicted half the musicians
in the country will be jobiess within
the year.
Many stations now employ no
musicians, he said, because we give
them Toscanini from New York
We give them Whiteman: We give

'SubstontioI Number as

President Truman today urged
Congress to pass suitable legis-
lation as speedily as possible" to
admit "a substantial number" of
Europe's nearly 100000 dis
placed persons to the United
States as immigrants.
In a special message to Congress,
the President said he is confident
of congressional support for his
policy of firmly resisting any pro-
posal to send the displaced persons
back to their former homes by
force where it is evident that
their unwillingness to return is
based upon political considerations
or fear of persecution
"Only Civilized Course"
I He declared that "the only civil
lied course is to enable these people
to take new roots in friendly soil, y
and said "our plain duty requires
that we join with other nations in
solving this tragic problem"
Mr.. Truman said special emer-
gency legislation is necessary to
admit any substantial number of
the displaced persons into this coun-
try because present immigration
Quotas for the Eastern European
areas from which most of the dis
placed persons come "are wholly
inadequate for this purpose

number which he thought should

100000 displaced persons to come

four years.
Thanks Congress.
But he did express appreciation"
to Congress for attention already
given to the problem.
The Presidents message asserted
that the background of most of the
displaced persons indicates that
they can quickly become useful
members of our American COM
munities.'
"These are people," he declared,
who oppose totalitarian rule, and
who because of their burning faith
in the principles of freedom and
democracy have suffered untold
privation and hardship. Because
they are not Communists and are
opposed to communism. they have
stanchly resisted all efforts to in
duce them to return to Communist
controlled areas"

The text of Mr.. Truman's mes
sage follows:
"On several occasions, I have
advocated legislation to enable a
