LEGISLATIVE RECORD
salaries Of which are specifically fixed in annual appro-
priation Act" lemphasis supplied, form part Of the
"unclssiieds service of the Government.
Section 7O3 of the Retirement Act Is V. /. &c. Chap.
~ provides for the inclusion within the retirement sys-
tenn Of any person who on September 10 1859 was an
employee" and in the service of the Government or
who subsequently became such an employee. An en-
ployee is defined by section 7O2(e) as any official or en-
ployee in the service of the Government, who is en-
ployed on a permanent and continuous basis"
Specifically excluded from membership in the sys-
tenn are:
Is. Any employee whose services are compensated
on a contractural (sic) or fee basis.
2. Any casual, per diem or part time employee.
g Any provisional employee"
The preceding last two quotations from the Retirement Act.
referring respectively to inclusion and exclusion in the
retirement system by their express terms do not cover
the situation with respect to employees whose jobs are
created or established solely by virtue Of line items in
the annual appropriation act. The tenure of such em-
ployeeS is limited to the period Of the appropriation.
Consequently, such an employee is not employed on a
permanent and continuous basis, as distinguished
from employees whose appointments do not carry any
such statutory limitation as to potential length or ten
ure. Onthe other hand, such a line item employee does
not fall into the c~lassese specifically excluded from mem
bership in the retirement system.
Under these circumstances resort then must be made
to such aides in statutory construction and Interpretation
as will make the law meaningful.
It is to be noted that budget estimates BY the vari-
Gus departments include contributions to the retirement
system and that line item employees have generally been
included among the employees to be covered by the
Governments contribution. Moreover, it appears to have
been the unchallenged administrative practice to de-
duct retirement contributions from the salaries Of such
employees in the past. Further it may be added that the
spirit of the Retirement Act is in favor of a liberal IN
clusion of governmental employees under its terms.
It is my conclusion therefore that Ine-item employ
ees in their (sc) absence of there being specifically ex-
cluded from retirement benefits should be regarded as
coming within the scope of the system. It is my further
feeling that in any event the law should be clarified to
express unequivocally the inclusion or exclusion of such
employees. Legislation along such lines is being pre-
pared.

Purpose Panelists
CONTINUED from Gage


DR.. Whitaker told the group
it is difficult to relate economics
to purpose for there is a con-
slant change. He said, 1.-The
first national purpose was OBJ
viously to get rid of the English.
IN 1890. the national purpose
was to get rid of depressions.
The speaker noted that the
national purpose of one country
would vary from that of an
other. He said that in Africa
there is more concern with hay
ing full stomach and not
worry about loss of freedoms
because they are not as well
off as this nation.
I'VE are a materialistic peo-
pie" Dr. Whitaker said as he
traced the problems of raising
economic standards. He cited
among those prob | e m the
climbing population and the fact
that to have a higher rate of
economic growth consumption
must be cut down
I'VE are better off than any
other nation when it comes to
economies. DR.. Whitaker said
But. that doesn't make our ma
tiOnal purpose fit for all nations
he added. noting that the United
States and Russia arc very diff
ferent.
The economics speaker said
he doesn't think the situation
with Russia concerns lis as
much as We think. When they
get as we'll off as we are. they
will lose some of their revolt
ton.
The third speakers was Mr.
Ortner. whose topic was The
National Purpose and Human
Relations Principle has to
cost us something" Mr.. Ortner
said as he pointed out that the
nations individuals have COM
partmentalized their lives too
much.
We owe to God to go to work
for God. not for a boss. Mr.
Ortncr said lamenting the fact
that he isn't sure people arc
willing to go that far any more
The audience Of adults was
told that It Is time children are
taught the responsibilities that
accompany privileges of 4 de
lnocracy.
In discussing the question does
the national purpose require
that every individual have
equal opportunity for his fullest
development, MIR. Ortner noted
the progress made in the field
and cited laws of one state
where employment applications
finally eliminated a space for
race designation, and then en-
iolyces started requiring pictures
of applicant. Pictures we're rul-
I'd out. aud the employers

ample of a principal of school
he knew who wasn't doing too
good a job. Ortner said when
he prodded him to do better the
principal said he would do more
work if he was paid more money.
Ortner said he asked the school
board to pay the principal more
money and the board said it
would if he would do more
