cost of about $2.25 million, ano

from drying up Of Middle East

approximately one-third OF the

cost was assessed against U. N

Inc SitudLlOn mas the Hetlre
enactment of last years liberal
lied civil service retirement law,
thousands Of Federal workers
applied for retirement in the
ensuing weeks and months.
Then the rate of retirements
slowed up, although the average
200 or so a day was considerably
above the average Of years past
In the past few weeks, how
ever, the rate of retirements is
once again on the upgrade. Civil
Service officials expect as many
as 10000 Federal workers to re-
tire this year. This compares
to the average $4,000 a year re-
ltirements before last years liber-
allied retirement law.
Significantly enough, most OF
the retirees aren't those taking
advantage Of the liberalized pro-
vision. which permits retirement
at age SIS after 30 years of service
lat considerably less financial
penalty than was the case
before last year. Rather, the
Iemployes are those reaching age
$50 with 30 years Of service. OF
age So with Is years Of service,
Instead of working on to age
l65 or 10, as has been frequently
true in past years. many en-
Iployes are now retiring once
they meet the regular minimum
age-service provisions. All this
has a tendency to give greater
lp rom tion opportunities tc
younger employees in Govern
lment.

DISCHARGE PETITION
Paul A. Nagle, president Of the
National Postal Transport As
sociation. says the failure Of
Chairman Murray Of the House
Civil Service Committee to
schedule hearings on postal pay
raise legislation makes 1t "in-
creasingly likely that a discharge
petition will be introduced"
A total of 2l8 signatures
which is a majority of the 435
members in the House. would be
needed to discharge the pay
Legislation from the House Civil
Service Committee. 1t would be
a difficult thing to do. But postal
Iemploye leaders point out they
have succeeded in previous years
lin discharging pay bills from the
icommittee. and they feel they
might do 1t again.
Meanwhile, some Of the en-
Eploye groups are showing in
lcreasing sentiment in favor oi
the Is per cent pay-raiss
bill sponsored by Representative
Cunningham. Republican OF Ne
braska. The measure Is not as
costly as some other postal pay
bills, and some employe leaders
feel its chance Of acceptance
would be better.

pay hearings are expected to be
held soon by a subcommittee
