 TRIBUTE PAID
 What was perhaps the outstand- ing ritual of the evening was an impressive ceremony, paying tribute to the memory of the. late Martin L. Guthrie, whose death occurred December while enroute to the South, where he had been ordered by his physician because of physical impairment.
 The dramatic ritual of the organi- zation for this memorial was ob- served Lights were dimmed, rifles were stacked, and the official over seas cap of the deceased's branch of service was placed on the rifle barrels
 A flame was nU in an upiurned steel helmet, and in the shrouded midst of dim light, Post Com mander Bob Druxman, gave a tribute to the ~faithfulness and service of the deceased Legionnaire.
 Then was read message to the Commander of the Post Everlasting who presides in the Land Beyond" commenting the departed Comrade to the mercies of those in the Everlasting Land.
 This message was then placed, by Post Chaplain Raymond G. Beach, in the burning flames of the hel- met, its ashes being a token of the mortal remains of the former friend and Legion member. With the re- lighting of the room the ritual equipment was removed and a cherished memory of a valued ccmrade blended into the conscious ness of those who live on to serve in memory of their comrade.
 It was conceded that the meeting of Monday evening marked a trend in events of the organization pointing toward greater accept ance of civic responsibility and service.
 From: the Department Comman- der's address to the memorial serv- ice, reverence and harmonious fel- lowship appeared to be the theme of the gathering.
 Refreshments were served at the conclusion of the meeting with Le- gionnaires John Tanner and Ray mond Beach, serving cake and cof- fee. L. A. Sturm and Ernest E.. Lincoln were named as the refresh ment committee for the meeting of December 12.

reviewed some possible changes
in the layout of the District at a
meeting OF the Lincoln Park
Citizens Association last night.
most spectacular Of which was
the proposed extension Of Consti-
tuition avenue eastward to con.
meet with the Baltimore Parkway.
Gen. Grant also said that re-
moval of all temporary Govern
ment office buildings is one Of the
ultimate aims of the Park and
Planning Commission, but ex-
pressed the opinion that this will
not be realized in the near future
because of expanding need for
governmental Office space.
The need to limit the accumd-
lation of Government Offices in
centralized areas was stressed, in
view of modern methods OF war
fare. Gen. Grant asserted that
nearby Maryland and Virginia
offer many attractive sites for
extended agencies.
The association voted to ask
the traffic bureau to make study
of the corner Of Eighth street and
Massachusetts avenue NE, with
the suggestion that a traffic light
be installed. Members agreed
that it is practically impossible to

Phone Union 10 File
Charges on Bell Plan
To Increase Pensions

Union dissatisfaction over the
Bell Telephone Systems method
Of boosting pension rates set up
legal showdown today.
The CIO Communications Work
ers Of America, representing 320,-
900 telephone employees, an
nounced it would file unfair labor
practices charges and seek q con-
gressional investigation because
the companies acted outside Of
collective bargaining.
Officials of the operating COM
panies replied that provisions Of
the pension plan, started in 1918,
give the right to administer it
and revise it.. The pension plan
itself Is not IN the contract with
the union. but there is a clause
In the contract forbidding a pen
sion reduction without consent Of
the union, the company added.
Minimum Payments Increased.
The pension changes increased
minimum payments from $50 for
employees with 20 years service. or
more, to $75 for such employees
under IS and 500 for those IS
years or older.
Under the old Bell System plan
an employe could retire after 20
years or more service at mini
mum of $50 a month. When he
became 65 years old and eligible
for social security payments, the
amount he received from the COM
pany was reduced by one-half the
amount he received from the Gov
ernment.
Under the new plan. an employe
may retire at any time after 20
years or more service at $75 a
month minimum pension. He
may get more than that under a
formula based on length Of service
and average wages.
When the retired employe under
the new plan reaches IS. he will
get a 500 minimum payment. In
some cases. however, the company
will deduct the full amount of his
social security benefit so that if
he gets $50 from the Government,
he will get $40 from the company
to make the full 500.
Increases Called Inadequate.
Union President Joseph A.
Beirne said the increases were
mot enough" and that, although
the Supreme Court has ruled pen
sions are a matter for collective
bargaining, the increases were
initiated without consulting the
union.
Bell System officials said the
new plan was not put into effect
before discussions with employees,
pensioners and union representa-
tives.
Underwriting Charged.
To this, union spokesmen re-
torted they were not consulted
until yesterday and that the plan
was made effective last Wednes-
day. T.
The company said many en-
ployes now get more than mini
mum pension amounts and that
the average" is $10230, including
social security payments. The
union estimated that pensions now
average $78 a month. including
those to management personnel.
