ment Of President Fulgencio Ba-

Pension Plan
Alteration Is
|UpForStlldy
Legislature To
View Retirement
System For State,
County Employees

TALLAHASSEE U ~ A House
committee making a long range
study of the retirement system for
state and county employees hopes
to have some recommendations on
pension plan changes for this ses-
sion of the Legislature.
Rep. Ralph burlington Of Ala
chua, chairman of the Committee
on Claims and Pensions, said his
group and an actuarial survey firm
are working on plans to provide
settlement options to employees up
on reaching retirement age.
For instance, state employee
upon retirement should say wheth-
er he wishes a plan to pay him
self the whole pension or take a
smaller amount during his life and
extend the payments to his widow
after his death.
burlington said such settlement
options may appear at first glance
to increase pension plan costs but
actually the pension payment costs
may be reduced.
The whole problem was unds-
recess.
The committee began its study
of pensions after House Speaker
C. Farris Bryant released report
by an actuarial auditing firm that
there was a potential deficit of
$3.50, 857 900 in state and county
employe retirement plans.
Gov. McCarty asked the Legis-
lature to give thought to develop
ment of a single retirement pro-
gram covering all state officials
and employees to supersede the
various plans now in effect.
Sneaker Bryant said the current
retirement system was a hodge
podge Of different plans.
burlington said one big aim Of
his committee is to come up with
a program to make present mon
ey we are spending Con pensions)

He added that another thought
in approaching the pension study
was to hold the lire on pension

FOR GIFT-GUIDE:
Don't spend more than you

Many now prefer to team for a
worthwhile group gift, to relieve
the monotony of random gifts at
a swirl Of showers. The new
plan, for group-presents, is for
the hostess to ask a gift-chair-
man to take over, to: l. Find out
what most, want to spend and
would like to give. 2. Sleuth what
the bride wants or needs or
would welcome as a surprise. 3.
Collect the money quickly, quiet
