Letter Carriers 10 Ask
Broader Benefits for
Retired u. ). Workers
By Joseph Young
Stor StoH Correspondent

NEW YORK. Sept. 5.-The AFL
National Association of Letter
Carriers has voted to ask Con-
gress for broad liberalizations OF
the Governments civil service re-
tirement system. t..
The NALC's biennial convention
here adopted a resolution urging
greater benefits for retired Federal
workers, as well as increased sur
Ivivorship insurance benefits for
Ipresent Government employees and
their families.
It was pointed out that survi-
Worship insurance benefits for Fed
|eral workers and their families, in
most instances, are much less than
those provided under social secur-
|ity.
Also, the need for permanent re-
vision of Federal annuities for re-
tired workers was stressed.
Defeat Strike Issue.
During yesterdays session, the
convention overwhelmingly de-
feated a motion advocating that
Government workers have the
right to strike.
NALC national officers are en-
|phatic in their stand that Federal
workers cannot strike against the
Government. The resolution was
sponsored by a postal local in
Dayton, Ohio.
Meanwhile, William C. Doherty
was unanimously reelected for
another two-year term as NALC
president. Others elected were
Jerome j. Keating, vice president;
Peter j. Cahill. secretary; Charles
Dillon, treasurer, and r. B. Kre-
mers, assistant secretary.
Seek Pay Raise.
Mr.. Doherty predicted that Gov
ernment employe unions will call
upon Congress next year to pro-
vide Federal salary increase and
better retirement benefits.
Representative Miller, Demo-
crat. of California, second rank
ing member of the House Post
Office and Civil Service Commit
tee. addressed the delegates and
attacked the practice in Congress
Of legislating by rider on Federal
personnel matters.
Two other speakers, Represent
atives Lyle. Democrat. of Texas
and Hagen, Republican. of Min
nesota, joined Mr.. Miller in de-
claring that the continued rise
in living costs leaves Federal
workers no alternative but to seek
another Government pay raise.
The 5000 delegates and their
wives paraded down Fifth avenue

Gen. Dorm said he did not know

stood that it had been recently.
He said that the transfer had

He added that no personal ef-

that there were any political i'm

"That is exactly what has been
done in this case. The files will
remain in Army custody and Gen.
Macarthur will have access to
them"
Mr.. Pace said he was not ia

he did not handle the correspond

However. he said that it was his
impression that mutually satisfac-
tory arrangements were made.
Gen. Macarthur will be ex-
tended every courtesy in making
use of these files and the Army
historians also will have them
available to them" Mr.. Pace de-
clared. He added that an Army
archivist would separate what
might be considered personal ma

No Comment From General.
Both the secretary and Gen.
Dorm pointed out that such a
