ANNUITIES - Representative
Klein, Democrat, of New York has
sponsored bill to exempt from
taxation the annuities of retired
Government employees. Previously
Representative Rees, Republican
of Kansas sponsored a measure to
exempt the first 81, 400 of Federal
employees annuities. Neither meas
ure, however, appears to have toe
good a chance of passage this
year.
THREAT-Representative Bus
hey, Republican, of Illinois threat
ems to lead a fight to cut off all
appropriations for the Civil Sery-
ice Commission and the Federal
Loyalty Review Board, unless the
Government revises its loyalty
program. Mr.. Busbey charges toe
many Communists sympathizers
have been cleared by the loyalty
board.
While such a move probably
would fail, it does emphasize the
growing charges among Republi.
cans in Congress that the Gov
ernment's loyalty program should
be overhauled.
PERSONNEL PROBE-Unlike

mittee. which is asking $4,000
