ID 'AIesandro Is Silent
On Candidacy Report,
ey the Associcted Press

BALTIMORE, Nov. l2.-Mayor
Thomas D'Alesandro said today he
is too busy doing a job for the
people of Baltimore to speculate on
reports that he will be candidate
for Governor or United States Sen
ator in 1850.
I'm all tied up on this job," he
declared. Il have the budget be-
fore me-. I haven't time for that
sort of thing"
The Mayor was elected last spring
after many years in Congress, dur
ing which he was chairman OF the
House District Committee. He made
his comments in connection with a
story in the Baltimore Sun which
said he may be in the process OF
forming q Democratic political Or
ganization in conjunction with Gov
Lane.
A possible result Of this, the Sun
said, is that Mr.. D'AleSandro may
forego an ambition to become Gov
ernor and with Mr.. Lanes support
oppose Senator Tydings when the
States senior Senator comes up for
reelection in 1850.

employe annually to carry out the
program.
This is nearly twice as much as
the original estimate of So per en-
ploye, presented to Congress when it
was considering the health bill in
1914. Congress now has authorized
the medical program. but agencies
still must get fund appropriations
to set up their clinics and put the
program into effect.
In view of the increased cost esti-
mates, it now becomes question OF
now far Congress will 60 along in
appropriating funds.
It's easy to see why the original
cost estimates don't hold true today.
Salaries, as we'll as equipment and
supply costs, have risen sharply since
then, and Government officials in
1914 had no way of knowing that
this would be the case.
X II y X
SPECIAL SESSION HOPES-Al-
though Government employe legis-
lation isn't expected to get much at
tention during the special session OF
Congress, an attempt will be made
to win final approval of the Lange-
Chavez Stevenson retirement bill.
The measure, which would pro-
vide for the liberalization of Fed
eral employees retirement benefits,
has passed the House but has not
yet been acted on by the Senate.
Now, sponsors of the measure have
decided to try and win quick Senate
approval of the bill during the spe-
cial session, instead of waiting for
the regular session which begins in
January.
They acknowledge the odds will be
against the bill receiving Senate
consideration during the special ses-
sion, but they point out that, If the
Senate were in the mood, it could
pass the measure lin less than five
minutes"
And, they say. the Seante in the
past often has speeded through en-
ployes' legislation with a minimum
of debate.
