today to take final action on
the measure.
One reliable source predicted
a cut of at least $500 million.

ready to vote for a much deeper
cut, but whether they succeed
will depend on how many of the
80 committee members are
present.
A preliminary move to chop
nearly ST billion from the budg-
Jet request failed by a close vote
last Friday. but there were so
many absentees it was decided
to put of a final decision until

less than $2,400 a year. Those
drawing annuitieS of more than
$4,000 would pay 10 per cent of

The widow would be entitled to
AN annual benefit of half the
annuity earned by the employe
lat the time of his death, plus
$500 for each child under age ID.
Effective in 1857
The bill would become effective
on January l, 1857. 1t would
not apply to Federal workers
already retired or to those who
will retire between now and next
January /. In return for the
benefits, Federal workers would
pay 7 per cent of their salaries.
Meanwhile, Representative
Broyhill, Republican of Virginia,
told the annual convention of
the National Association of Re-
tired Civil Employees that retired
Federal workers also are en-
titled to an upward adjustment
in pensions.
Mr.. Broyhill said the entire

needs strengthening Ito the
point where it can once again
stand as an outstanding ex-
ample of a career retirement
system"
