Congress appears ready this
year to give vitality needed fin
ancial assistance to the deficit
ridden civil service retirement
system.
The Kennedy administration
Is working with key Congress
sional leaders on a formula TO
ease the present $37 billion
actuarial deficit, mindful OF
the fact that the retirement
system will go bankrupt by 1880
II additional financing by the
Government isn't secured.
Chairman Thomas OF the
House Appropriations Sub
committee which handles civil
service retirement financing
has expressed serious concern
about It's plight and plans
action by his group this year
on additional money for the
Olnd.
The Texas Democrat and
his subcommittee are the key
in Congress as far as the re-
tlrement fund is concerned.
Whatever action II initiates
is expected TO win the approval
Of Congress.
Mr.. Thomas has been meet
ing with Civil Service Commits
sion officials on the situa-
ton and has asked them 10
submit the administrators
proposal within the next few
weeks.
The Kennedy administration
has promised Mr.. Thomas It's
full support and cooperation
and Is now working on specific
new proposals 10 submit 10 the
House Appropriations unit.
It's known that the House
group frowns on the admins
trations proposal OF last year
which was not acted on by
Congress. Under this perma-
nent financing plan. Congress
would automatically vote funds
for the retirement fund when
ever the cash on hand dropped
below the amount Of total en-
ploye contributions. The Con-
Rressional objection 10 this was
that II would commit Congress
70 a specific course Of action as
far as funding was concerned.
As a result, the csc is ex-
pected 10 propose a congress

Representative Powell. Dem
ocrat Of New York, said today
that an Indianapolis bonding
company has issued a bond for
James r. Hoffa's Teamsters
Union.
The Landrum Griffin Act re-
quiries bonding of union Of
ficers.
Mr.. Powell, chairman OF the
House Labor Committee, said
Frank Wright OF the United
Bonding Co. Of Indianapolis no.
titled him today that the COM
pany was writing the Teamsters
bond and had obtained re-
insurance from the American
Mutual Co.
Mr.. Hoffa, president of the
Teamsters, had charged the
Justice Department with ex-
erting pressure on all bonding
companies in the country to
prevent them from issuing the
TeamSters bond. The charge
was denied.
Contending that without a
new bond the union would be
forced to shut down all its
financial activities February 8,
when the present bond expires,
Mr.. Hoffa asked for and got
a hearing before the Powell
committee last Friday.
Under questioning at the
hearing, he said he had no
personal knowledge that any
Government official had pres
sured anyone.
Several committee members
told Mr.. Hoffa he had failed to
back up his charges. He had
named Mr.. Wright's company,
among others, as having been
coerced by the Justice Depart
ment. A telegram from Mr..
Wright, denying this. was in
troduced at the hearing.
Attorney General Robert
Kennedy, in a letter to a cc@~
mittee member, had suggested
Mr.. Hoffa was having bonding
difficulty because he dealt
through a Chicago insurance
agent reputed to have under
world connections.
At the close Of the hearing
Friday, Mr.. Powell sent tele-

additional Government con-
tributions to the retirement
fund would depend on how
much is needed TO keep 1t
financially sound.
The present Government en-
ploye's Ga per cent salary con-
tribution to the fund is not
expected to be raised, since the
funds present financial plight
stems from the Governments
failure to make adequate con-
tributions through the years
and not from a lack OF suf-
ficient employe contributions.
csc officials are optimistic
that Congress will take action
this year to bolster the fund
and keep II permanently finan-
cially healthy.
In his budget message to
Congress, President Kennedy
warned that, unless corrective
legislation Is enacted, the fund

Mr.. Appell's next musical. 1t

an old, old movie. The film in

able, namely THE Blue Angel"
Mr.. Appel is using the APP
proximate plot. This is about
a good, wise man who becomes
infatuated with a bad, intel
lectually inferior girl and does
all the things good, wise men
should never do. In Mr.. Appell's
version, the man will be the
head Of a military school, his
inamorata a strip-teaser whose
status is three below zero.
This plot has been in the
public domain since Caesar
started carving up Gaul, but no
one seems to have thought be-

cal Of 1t.

The procedures Of Licenses
and Inspections were described
as simpler and more CO.
ordinated" by Mr.. Harrison.
The varied collection Of COM
mittees, commissions and
boards in occupations and pro-
LESSONS stems partially from
the collection Of statutory
enactments. seemingly created
almost willy nilly by Con-
greSs. :" Mr.. Harrison wrote.
He wrote further that this
was also caused partly because
the committees, commissions
and boards do not appear to
correlate their activities or,
unduly, to be aware of the
existence Of each other"
He noted that the proposed
administrative code for the Dis
trict, to make uniform the
city's licensing procedures,
would eliminate several statu-
tory peculiarities."

D. c. License Processes
Informal, Study Finds

Licensing procedures in the
District are characterized as
somewhat informal and some
times erratic" in an article In
the August issue Of the Journal
Of the Baf Association Of the
District of Columbia.
But the study, written by at
torney Marion Edwyn Harri-
son, added that these qualities
are not necessarily noted as
deficiencies"
The study concerned the De-
partment of Licenses and In
spections and the Department
Of Occupations and Professions.
Mr.. Harrison concluded that
the various boards, committees
and commissions Of occupations
and professions licensing must
inevitably publish systematic
and co-ordinated rules which
fulfill the established require
ments Of the law Of adminis-
trative procedure"
