II that can be done without
stirring up too much opposition
The decision to abandon the
horses was understood to have
been reached by Gen. Williston
B. Palmer. vice chief Of staff
That same Office is known to be
involved in the current plan to
get the Army out of the dog
business.
The need for economy Is be-
Ing given as the reason for de-
mobilizing the Army's $50 dogs.
The same reason was advanced
for the now-abandoned effort to
dispose of the 16 matched grays

But those who favor demobi-

Army enlisted about 10000 dogs

conflict.
A general Army order in 1853
praised "the unbroken record of

in Korea. 1t said the dogs and
their human handlers saved
countless casualties"
Army officials who want to
dispose Of military dogs contend
that it costs $4,000 to train each
animal. Presumably this total
includes the cost of training and
supporting the human handlers.
Other Army sources say this cost
estimate is too high.

retirement system.
The House Appropriations
the first big Government money
bill of the year, provided the
Post Office and Treasury De-
Epartment with the funds needed
ito match the employees 61a per
cent contribution.
The rest of the Governments
agencies in their appropriation
bills this year and in subsequent
years will also receive funds
equal to that Of the annual to-
tai 612 per cent employe con-
Itributions.
Many retirement experts fee
that the Governments matching
contribution will strengthen the
retirement systems financial
structure immeasurably. They
also feel that, in future years
it will permit even further lib
eralizing of Federal employe re-
tirement benefits.
Until now, the Governments
contribution to the retirement
fund was on a haphazard and
all-too-often insufficient basis
In fact. there were some years
when the Government did not
contribute a penny. The result
was that some retirement experts
and groups. such as the Kaplan
Committee. expressed fears over
the retirement systems future
The new mandatory Government
retirement contribution removes
any doubt of the future stability
of the civil service retirement
system.
POST OFFICE CUTS-Mean-
while, Post Office Department Of
flcials say that the House APP
preparation Committee. cuts in
the departments 1858 postal
budget requests would result in
the elimination of 5000 present
postal jobs. 1t also would scuttle
the departments plans to hire
5000 additional letter carriers
and other postal workers for
extended services to the public.
The 5000 reduction in present
postal jobs would not be likely to
affect regular postal workers.
Substitutes most likely would be
affected. However. the cut would
lessen the opportunities for
postal workers to fill supervisory
vacancies when they occur.
The department, with the aid
of the various postal employee
unions, is seeking to have the
House restore the fund cuts when
the appropriations bill comes up
for action today.
