Program, of
WSSC Lauded

The Washington Suburban
Sanitary Commission this week
received a letter of "congratula-
tons on your foresight" and
thanks for your fine coopera-
ton" in connection with an IL
year study of the effectiveness
of fluoridation of water supply
to prevent teeth decay.
DR.. F. A. Arnold, jr., director
of the National Institute of Den.
tai Research, u. S. Public
Health Service, which conduct
ed research, reported that the
Institutes "study of children
receiving fluoridated water in
Montgomery and Prince Geor-
ges Counties, begun by us in
1852, has achieved its purpose.
Accordingly, We have scheduled
no dental examinations for 1863,
and no longer need the weekly
reports on fluoride concentra-
tons you have furnished so
faithfully during the past IL
years"
The WSSC introduced the
use of sodium sillcO fluoride
in public water for preven-
ton of tooth decay In the
early 195Os, after the process
had been recommended by
area medical societies and
other responsible groups.
Studies have indicated that
fluoridation by the WSSC has
resulted In a substantial re-
duction in tooth decay Incl

Senate hearings have been
scheduled for May 10 on legis-
lation to provide an interchange
of credits between the civil
service retirement and social
security systems to bolster the
annuities of Federal workers on
retirement.
The bill is sponsored by Sem
ator Clark, Democrat of Penn
sylvania, who also is chairman
of the Senate Civil Service sub
committee which will hold the
hearings.
The bill permits Federal
workers with less-than-enough
previous non-Government serv-
ice to qualify them for social
security benefits to transfer
whatever social security credits
they have to the civil service
retirement system. This would
give the employees greater civil
service annuitieS on retirement.
They would have to pay into
the retirement fund the differ
ence between what they paid in
social security taxes and what
they would have paid into civil
service retirement had they
been in the Government during
that time.
Also, the bill permits short
time Federal employees on leav-
ing Government to transfer
credit for their Federal service
to the social security system to
help them qualify for social
security benefits.
In addition, the bill would
abolish the requirement that
employees who retire have to
take a cut in annuity in order
that their widow or dependent
widower can get a survivorship
annuity when the annuitant
dies.
Also, the bill would give re-
tired Federal workers an in
crease equal to the pay raise
that is enacted for Government
workers this year. Also, there
would be automatic increases
in retiree annuities every time
the cost of living rises by l pei
cent or more.
Senator Clark said his sub
committee hearings at the same
time would also take up the
bill to extend from l8 to q

The House Civil Service Com

The committee acted favor
ably on a motion made by Rep
resentative Broyhill, Republi-
can Of Virginia, to schedule the
pay raise hearings. The Senate
Civil Service Committee already
has begun pay raise hearings
but has not yet completed them.
The House committee also
voted to take up legislation to
increase retired Federal en-
ploye annuities Immediately
after the pay raise hearings are
concluded.
The House committee ap-
proved the bill to allow un-
claimed amounts of insurance
under the Federal employe life
insurance program to revert to
the Federal employe life insur-
ance fund. At present, when
there is no legal next-of-kin,
the money usually goes to the
