partments today supported at the
Capitol an amended Senate bill to
give policemen and firemen credit
against retirement for time spent
in the armed services during the

have contributed toward retirement
from their salaries had they re-
mained in District service.
Corporation Counsel Vernon E
West, however, told a subcommittee
headed by Senator McGrath, DEM
ocrat, of Rhode Island, he did not
know whether the Commissioners
would support the change.
He pointed out they have ap-
proved a pending House bill which
would require payments.
After hearing testimony of police
and fire officials that no payment
in such cases is required for Civil
Service employees. Senator McGrath
indicated his subcommittee probably
will report out the bill with the
amendment.
Police and fire officials also in
dorsed another Senate measure

of both departments who entered
military service would date from the
time when they would have been
promoted had they remained in
