there is no indication who or

But on the basis Of last years

Not Available for
Planning Unit Post

Francis G. Addison. jr.. 67,
president of the Security Bank,
has been proposed as a new
member of the National Capital
Planning Commission, but the
banker and civic leader said to-
day he would mot be available"
for the job.
Mr.. Addison's name, it was
learned. has been submitted to
Interior Secretary Mckay for
consideration as a possible sue
cessor on the 12-member COM
mission to Frederick Bigger, of
Pittsburgh, whose term expires
Saturday.
Mr.. Addison said he had been
approached informally by, ''per-
sons concerned with the commits
son." but told them he would
not be available even if offered
the position. Now 81, he said he
did not feel he could take on
any additional duties. Among his
most notable civic activities was
Craftsmanship of the Citizens
Advisory Committee on Public
Works, which made the first
essential studies that have re-
suited in the city's proposed

Rufus S. Lusk, real estate pub

District Republican leaders and
others feel strongly that Dis
trict man should be named to the
commission. Only two of the five
izen-members now are District
residents.
1t was learned. meanwhile, that
planning and conservation groups
are strongly backing Mr.. Bigger
for re-appointment. The Pitts
burgh resident served for many

Bill Liberalizing
Federal Retirement
Offered by Broyhi|I

A bill to liberalize and extend
the entire civil service retirement
system was sponsored today by
Representative Broyhill, Repub-
lican. of Virginia.
The measure would merge in
to one system the most liberal
provisions of the civil service re-
tirement system, District school
teachers, legislative employees
and members of Congress and
investigative employees.
21a Per Cent Computation.
Retirement benefits would be
increased by computing annui-
ties for all Federal workers on
the basis of 21a per cent of aver
age salary over the top five
years. multiplied by the number
of years of service. This COM
pares to the present Ia per cent
computation rate. The 2l2 per
cent rate was enacted this year
by Congress for members and
legislative employees.
The Broyhill bill also would
provide for retirement on full
annuities for all Federal en-
ployes at any age after 80 years
Of service. Retirement on full
annuities also would be per-
mitted at the age of 81 after five
years of service and on reduced
annuity at age 60 after 10 years
of service, at age SIS after 25
years of service or at any age
upon involuntary separation
after 20 years of service.
Earlier optional retirement for
investigative employees would be
retained under provisions of the
! bill.
Affects Those Already Retired.
Also. those employees already
retired would have their annui-
ties recomputed on the more lib
eral 212 per cent basis.
In addition, the bill would
grant a minimum service for dis
ability retirement of 20 years, or
the years of service the employe
would have had at age 62, which
ever is shorter.
|. The bill also provides for an
option for a reduced annuity
with life insurance benefit and
survivors benefits for dependent
parents in certain circumstances.
