New Low Raising
Pension Ceilings
Seen Falling Goal
sy the AssOe,atsa Pres.

A law passed by Congress late
IN the session to benefit retired
military officers may not ac-
complish what was intended Of
IL. Government officials disclosed
today.
The new law. signed by Presi-
dent Eisenhower August 4, raised
from $1,000 to $4,000 the cell
ing on combined retirement and
Government pay that certain
retired military men can re-
ceive and still hold Government
jobs.
A spokesman for the House
Veterans Affairs Committee,
which originated the measure,
said the aim was to set q more
realistic" limit for retired offi-
GERS.
But he and a lawyer for the
General Accounting ONCE
agreed that because Of an old
law, the new $4,000 limit will
benefit only those retired by
noncombat disability. Those re-
tired because Of combat dis
ability already were exempt
But the officials said the new
law apparently would not help
those retired by length OF
service.
They agreed that those retired
on length Of service still are
subject to a $2.500 a year limit
set In an 1894 enactment which
was overlooked. but which they
said still applies, with a few
limited exceptions. to all re-
tired for any reason other thar
|service-ineurred disability.
