Is Killed in Alps

INNSBRUCK, Austria, Aug

best avalanche dog, was found
dead today in an Alpine
glacier, victim of a fate from
which he had saved six men.

were in danger themselves.

tomb in a deep crevice of the
2,500-foot high ferner glacier
in the Stubairer Alps.

suffered a conclusion when an
ice lump hit him on the head
as he tried to climb down a
rope ladder to the place where
the dead dog lay Is yards
below the surface. He was
pulled UP and taken to Inns
bruck Hospital.
The dog was a top graduate
of the Tyrolean. training school
for avalanche dogs, but died

connected with rescue service.

Morse Urges :
Uniform Rules
On Retirement
BY GRACE BASSETT
star Staff Writer

star staff Writer
Senator Morse, Democrat of
Oregon, today said "discrim-
inatory policies" of Federal
Government retirements should
be ended by a new, controlling
law.
A protest from Civil Service
Commissioner John w. Macy.
jr., against a Morse bill dealing
with one local retirement prob
lem drew from the Senator a
promise to take two actions:
First, he said, he would de-
mand from Mr.. Macy a full re-
port on the "variances" in re-
tirement policies.
Then, Senator Morse will
draft a bill to eliminate what
he believes are inequities and
injuStices in the present sys-
tenn.
For instance, ne said that re-
tired top brass" of the mill
tary services could draw full
annuities and also full salaries
if they took other Government
jobs. Yet, District school teach
ers who retire cannot be en-
ployed at full salary in other
Government jobs. Their pay for
the regular positions must be
reduced by the amount of their
retirement pay, he said.
Explored at Hearing
Senator Morse explored the
retirement situation at a hear
ing this morning before his
Senate District subcommittee
on two bills. One would permit
employment of retired Govern
ment workers as teachers in
the District and, likewise, the
employment of retired District
teachers in other Government
jobs. The other would consoli-
date District welfare laws.
Mr.. Macy, in a letter to the
subcommittee, said the pro-
posed retirees' benefits would
break a long-standing Federal
policy-that retired Govern
ment workers should not draw
simultaneously from tax money
for retirement and for full SAL
aries.
II did not find Mr.. Macy'S
letter one bit persuasive" Sen
ator Morse said. Retirement
policies should be determined in
Congress. not in executive
agencies.
ID. c. Asks Amendments
He said he would not be
happy with any "long delays"
in the compilation of the study
to be requested from the Civil
Service Commission.
District Commissioners and
the Board of Education sup
ported the Morse bill in prin-
ciple, but asked for amend
mentS to prevent District
teachers below compulsory re-
tirement age from quitting with
some retirement pay in order
to take a higher-paying job in
the Federal Government.
Testifying in support Of the
retirement change were Selma
Borchardt, of the Washington
Central Labor Union; Don B.
Goodloe, of Teachers Union No.
