RETRENENTPLAN AFFECTS HUNDREDS New Limits Would Allow Many-U. S. Employes to Drop Out of Service. The immediate effect in Washington of passage of the new clyil service re- tirement bill, aside from the increased annuities accrulng to the several thousand retired employes living here, would be immediate application for retirement by several hundred and possibly a thousand or more employes who have reached the retirement age prescribed in the bill now pending. Provisions of the bill regarding the age of retirement are still under dis- ~ussion, but the limit is to be elther 3 The present retirement age The present maximum annuity uing to a retired Government em- ploye is $720, while under the terms of the bill now pending the maximum would be raised to §1,200 in pursuance of a policy advocated more than a month ago by the entire membership of the President’s cabinet, who, speak- ing through Secretary Work of the Interior Department, urged increased annuities for retired ¢mployes. At the Interior Department today it was said that probably 150 or more emploves who have reached the age of 63, but are not yet eligible for retirement under the present 1aw, would immediately apply for retire- ment at the increased annuities. This number was declared unofficially to be an index to the several hundred more employes who would be eligible under the bill. In order to be eligible for the maximum annuity under the pending bill an employe must have been in the Government service for 30 vears, have reached the retirement age to be set in the bill and must have received a salary of $1,800 a vear for 10 years previous to retire- ment. a CLUB WILL GIVE BALL FOR BENEFIT OF CHURCH Robin Hood Group Plans First An- nual Event at Willard Hotel Next Tuesday.

IRONCLAD [Reofiox 1121 8th ai Company Phone Mala RETIREMENT BILL PASSAGE IS SEEN (Continued from First Page the chairman. Just before 1 went to dinner tonight, as I was leaving my office, the chairman of the committee telephoned me and said those amend- ments could not be agreed to, and fhat the Senator from South Dakota, Mr. Sterling, was going to offer amendments to the bill; I know not what they were or what they are.” Senator Stanfield replied that after a meeting of the civil service com- mittes yesterday afternoon he had called up Senator Smoot.and told him the committee would not agree to two of the amendments proposed by Mr. Smoot. e added: “1 think, in all fairness, what the Senator should do is this: The opin- fon of the committee may not be the opinion of the body. I think if the Senator would submit his amend- ments and the committee’s ideas to the body, and let the body be the judge of what is right, that would be ‘the fair thing to do. I do not think it is the fair thing to filibuster this bill, and talk, as the Senator has said he will do, until there will not be any vote on it tonight. If the Senator 1s going to do that, I'want the Senator from Utah to take the tull responsibility of it. Takes All Responaibility. Senator Smoot replied that he was pertectly willing to take the respon- sibility. After some further debate, Senator Smoot said: “I want the retirement legislation to pass, but I want it to pass right.” The Senator from Utah charged that representatives of the employes' organizations had sought to influence members of the Senate against his amendments, after they had agre¢d h him. am going to see some of the men who have promised me here what they were golng to do, what they were perfectly willing to do. I want to know who they were and why they went to work to do what they did.” “Those men do not have to pass on this measure,” suggested Senator McKellar. “It is not a question of those men passing on this measure,” replied Sen- ator Smoot. “Senators have to pass on measure,” continued Senator Kellar. Discussion Is Heate After considerable discussion, more or less acrimonious, Senator Smoot sald that “we can probably reach a vote on the bill tomorrow” (today), but he would not agree to fix a time on which to vote on the bill. The Senate proceeded to consider amend- ments to the bill\to which there was no objection, at the suggestion of Senator Sterling, Senator Heflin of Alabama and wothers. To this plan Mr. Smoot made no objection. Amendments relating to age of re- tirement were passed over at the re- quest of Senator Dial of South Caro- lina and Senator Smoot. The amendment increasing the maximum annuity from $720 to $1,200, however, was agreed to. The amendments which would be offered by the committee and to which Senator Smoot objected were not discussed in detafl. It was apparent from the discus- sion in the Senate last night that the bill is favored by a large majority of the Senate and will pass when it is allowed to come to a vote. HOUSE PASSAGE SEEN. this Me- Leaders See Success for Retirement Measure. If the Senate passes the civil serv- ice retirement bill on which Senator moot filibustered last night the House probably will act promptly in passing this measure. If this bill comes. up In the House it will be un- der suspension of the rules, and House leaders are pretty well convinced that the measure will pass, it was stated today. ORGANIZATION ACTIVITIES.

He remained at the hospital | for several hours after the others had been taken home. Bender told his| employer today that he was conscious | the whole time he was being brushed | along the platform, and his only | thought was to stay clear of the wheels. Bender, Jacobs and Hoyme were re- moved to the hospital in the patrol wagon, while Bowie and Grover were taken .in a taxicab of the Yellow Cab Co., driven by Henry F. Schwalbach. Eight witnesses gave their names to the police after the accident, in- cluding the injured men, Capt. Brown made a detailed report of the case to Maj.

The rescue of the three-year-old was as dramatic as it was miracu- lous. Playing about the second floor apartment in a new pair of shoes, little Anita fell from the window. Her fall was checked by the slender string in one of the shoes. Gregory Jakimovick, a chauf- feur, dashed up the stairway and just as he reached for the feet of the child the rusty, weatherbeaten “staple broke. ‘With a frantic grasp he secured a grip on the tiny dress and drew Anlln/lo safety.

J.Maury Dove Company Principal Office RIDAY, FEBRUARY 20, 1 RETRED OFFERS BL UP N SENATE Beneficiaries MusPBe 30 Per Cent Dis- abled to Receive Pay. The emergency officers’ retirement bill, after a year's wait on the calendar, was before the Senate to- day under a unanimous consent agreement calling for a final vote. Bearing the indorsement of the American Legion, the measure pro- vides for retirement of disabled World War emergency officers of she Army and Navy under the same con- ditions as applying to regular service officers. Emergency officers who incurred disability of 30 per cent or more in line of duty would be allowed 'to retire, with an allowance of 75 per cent of service pay at time of dis- charge, in lieu of other disability compensation. Those who incurred less than 30 per cent and more than 10 per cent disability would be allowed to retire with the rank held at the time of discharge, but without retired pay. The act would apply to officers serving be- tween April 6, 1917, and November 11, 1918. Senator Means, Republican, Colo- rado, Spanish War veteran, told the Senate the bill had been indorsed by the representatives of more than 1,600,000 veterans. He denied argu- ments that the legislation was of class nature, pointing out that all pensions had been paid by the Gov- ernment on the basls of rank of the pensioner. Senator Reed, Republican, of Penn- sylvania, a World War veteran, de- clared the bill “unpardonably dis- criminatory.” He said only 1,860 vet- erans wou that many having been disabled 30 per cent. a af | be benefited, more than PLAN LAW LIBRARY.

This connecting “parkway would be between the Rock Creek Park, the Zoological Park and Potomac Park. Condemnation proceedings were instituted in February, 1923. Seventeen requests have since been filed and six of them are now pending in the Supreme Court. The urgent need for enactment of this proposed legislation was laid before the committee by the Rock Creek and Potomac Park- way Commission, which showed that this was the last work re- muining for the commission to perform and that If this work was transferred to the National Capi- tal Park Commission it would necessairly entail great loss of time and a tremendous increase in_cost.
