DETROIT, Sept. 12.-The bien-
nial convention of the National
Federation of Federal Employees
today called for increased civil
service retirement benefits. but
it urged a go-slow policy on 30
year retirement privileges regard

The convention went on record
in favor of optional retirement o1
Federal workers after 80 years
or service, regardless of age, but
| it said this should be done only
"if and when the status of the
Civil Service Retirement Fund
warrants such action"
There has been considerable
sentiment among some NFFE del
egates in favor of legislation to
permit optional retirement Of
Federal workers after 80 years oi
service, regardless of age. on full
annuity benefits. However. the
convention decided to pursue 6
cautious policy in this regard
since it felt that the Civil Service
Retirement Fund, at this time
probably could not stand extension
of such benefits.
Federal workers now get full an
nuity benefits at the age of so
after 80 years Of service, or at g.
after Is years Of service.
Urge Greater Annuities.
The convention unanimously
approved stand calling for great
er annuities for retired Federal
workers and increased survivorshir
insurance benefits for present Gov
ernment employees and their fami-
lies in view of the rising cost OF
living.
Also, the convention opposed any
alliance of the civil service re-
tirement system with social secur-
lity, declaring that the civil service
system should continue to remain
independent.
In addition, the NFFE asked
that Federal employees be provided
with photostatic records of theil
retirement credits each year sc
they and their families will know
just what their equity is. 1t was
noted that employees now have nc
