The rules groups okay is
needed before the measure can
be acted on by the House.
Senate action on the $546

REFUNDS PERMITTED -
The House Civil Service Com
mittee has approved Q bill per-
hitting Federal employees to
withdraw voluntary contribu-
tons to the civil service retire.
ment system.
Under the present law, en-
ployes WHO contribute more
than their regular 61a per cent
salary contribution to the re-
tirement system, are not al
lowed to withdraw the volun-
tary portion. The committees
bill would give them this right.
Many employees complained
that last years law liberalizing
retirement benefits made 1t un-
necessary for them to con-
tribute more than the required
amount and they wanted their
money back. The committees
bill would permit them to with
draw this money. although the
employees still would have the
privilege of leaving their money
in and continuing to deposit
up to 10 per cent of their salary
for retirement purposes.
